    I find that the activity calculator says I get way more APs than my HRM does, so I go by the HRM.
    I mean I don't want to use them and the flex points. Last week I used almost all of both (all WPA and most APs), I did lose 1 lb but I think I am eating more at a maintenance level. Maybe I should think about just eating some APs and trying not to flex. I have only been back OP for a month and still trying to find my balance. Last time I lost fast but felt deprived because I hardly had candy, sweets, my beloved Mexican food, fast food, fried foods (hey I am southern, I need this on occassion). So this time I am trying to eat better but not completely deprive myself. Now that I have the HRM I think I will rely on it for the APs.

    Do you do minutes in high= high intensity? Or just 100= 1.

    For instance last night I had 33:38 for my run, of that 33:10 was "high". I would put that all as high intensity= 4 pts? It was 368 calories so that would be 3.5 pts but I think they just round up on APs. For running it seems on with their charts but cycling I am sure will be eye opening either good or bad. I am really curious how it will play for cycling as my husband thinks I do not work that hard at it but I feel like I am exerting. When I quit running in favor of only cycling I did gain though.
