body bugg does not do heart rate monitoring. wish it did!!

Terry I used to use a Polar F11 (??? not sure of the exact model) but i loved it. only reason i stopped using it was it interfered w/ the body bugg. Thanks HP - i've been stalled (my own fault) for a bit, but want to get back on track ... have a great day!

hi Terri, i never trust those calculators. before my HR monitor, it said i was burning x cals on the treadmill. however, my HRM said i was burning X times two sometimes two and half more than the treadmill calc.

welcome crabby! your starting weight is great as is...

congrats on the plateau break!!! :clap2: :clap2:

Diann, Great job!!! :clap2::clap2:

i KNOW it has been mentioned here before but I Hate When People Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word!! GAHHHHHHHH drives me freaking nuts.

finallythin, ditto to what everyone else has said. you are doing a wonderful job. please do not get discouraged.

oooohh, Karey. a weighted vest! what a great idea! do you know if they come in larger sizes?

glinda, that's great!!!

babygrl - 2 pounds during TOM?? :clap2: great job!! Lochnagar - not too late at all. just copy the most recent grid and add your name and stats at the bottom. welcome!!

danielle, that is wonderful! welcome!

wow - very cool. I heard about wii fit but these details are great!

Amelia, yikes!! i hope the PT works too. just an FYI, there is a july accountability thread going as well. that may be more active. i started this board for my accountability to myself, but you are more than welcome to stay and post here too ...

wen, that is SO not a binge .. i understand your frustration though since you are trying to cut out snacking. and there is no possible way that you gained 2 lbs over night ... doncha love Water retention?? deanna, you are doing a great job. dont let this discourage you. that is a GREAT NSV with the pants!! i am a strong advocate on taking measurements and pictures ... you are all doing a great job. keep it up!!

slump - try daily ... i've been doing early mornings since February-ish (new job). i started getting up at 500 (it was 530 before that) then gradually increased my time working out, so i had to get up even earlier .. :faint::faint: i now set the alarm for 427am and actually get out of bed no later than 445. all depends on how tired i am. i usually get to bed about 1000 - 1030 at the latest.

Julie, please dont get discouraged. everyone loses at a different rate. plus, it's not all about pounds - how many inches have you lost?? i think you are doing a great job!!

i disagree with the trainer. i do not do cardio to develop my muscles. that is what resistance/strength training is for... i do cardio to get my HR up and burn fat.

welcome Amelia!

Banannie - great job on hitting the 170s!! sweety - 2 lbs in a week is great!!! good job!

Gibson, thanks for the comments, :biggrin1: they really mean a lot. now, this "dreaded" low carb lifestyle (i refuse to diet any more)... it really is not that bad at all ... my menu so far: b - 2 eggs over easy, 2 sausage patties - i was really hungry this morning. i usually only have about 1/2 - 2/3 sausage patty. l - 1/2 cheeseburger (no bun of course) and a nice tablespoon of SPICY!! mayo ... d - ???? not sure, DH wants burgers, so i guess i will have another 1/2 to full burger. do i miss sweets, uhhh yup!, is losing 20 pounds in less than a month worth missing sweets? uhhhhh YUP!!! and as you saw on my blog, there was a big ol' honking piece of carrot cake .. i ate that piece plus 2 more over a few days ... not a great choice by any means, but thanks to lots of people here i picked yself up and dusted myself off and am low carbing it once again. i am never hungry ... if i want a snack, i have a piece of string cheese (or if i'm really hungry i will have that other 1/2 of burger that i didnt eat for lunch) ... i try not to obsess over food. right now i am obsessing over my water intake. i am trying for 100+ ounces a day to flush this fat out of my system. i found a great mix of crystal light - - fruit punch (just a little bit though, i have bad side effects from fruit punch) and pink lemonade. it is realllllly good!! ok, enough of my book. best of luck to you Gibson!
