Anyone have a Polar HRM? Anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone with a POLAR HRM have this problem? I have an FT40. While working out, it will work fine for about 30 minutes. Then, as i ramp up my heart rate, it will start skipping around. It will spike up to (for example) 175, then 2 seconds later, up to 185, then 211 then 136 then145 then 180 etc. All of this within 5…

Later Workouts...less calories burned
I find that the later I work out, the less calories I burn doing the same workout. If I workout before work I can burn from 950 to 1100 calories. But if I workout at lunch I only burn from 800 to 950 and after work 700 to 950. Does anyone else find that? Why do you think that happens?

How do you enter marinades?
I have been making new recipes for almost everything I cook, so it's easier to log it in my food log. I am curious how to enter marinades. A lot of them involve high caloric ingredients, but I end up throwing out about 3/4 of the ingredients after it marinades. Any advice?

My spouse doesn't get it
Does anyone else have this problem? My spouse is very encouraging when it comes to my weight loss, but when she cooks for me (which thankfully isn't often) she will put the most sugary and caloric ingredients she can find. For instance, this morning she decided to cook pancakes. This is a fairly high calorie breakfast to…
