Consistency is the secret!
Finally after months and months of being stuck at a plateau my weight has started dropping again...1.2 pounds this week so far! I have never given up on exercise.....I do cardio 6 days a week and lift 3 times, but really have buckled down on my diet and "cheat" days on the weekends to one meal. It worked!!! And this…

Heart Rate Monitors
I want to get one but really dislike the ones with the chest strap. Any recommendations? I looked at the ones that are just a watch but those dont seem that they could be very accurate.

Bruised Knees?
Has anyone else experienced bruising on their knees possibly from running? The last 2 weeks I have been doing more endurance running and sprinting. My knees dont hurt at all but the insides of both knees are bruised....same color and location. This seems odd.
