HRM: Too high calories burned?
I know everyone says the gym machines estimate too high, and I also thought the general rule of thumb was around 100 cals/mile Today was my first day using my monitor. Im a 30 yo female who weights 153. Gym machine said 350, but my HRM said 487. That's a HUGE difference. Can 487 after 40 min running (3.3 miles total)…

Is it considered cheating??
I stick to my 1200 calories during the week. On the weekends, if I have something going on, I stick to my calories needed to maintain. (The extra 500) I've always said I'll never go on a diet because the minute I say I can't have something, I'm doomed from the begining. I was in NYC for a yankees game and you betcha I got…

Military food help?
I came across a post a few days ago asking who was in the military, so I'm hoping to get some help here... I just joined this site and have been doing great for the past week and a half with logging meals and exercise. In 2 weeks I leave for my annual 2 week army training. I won't be able to log food. I won't be able to…
