I am not eating 2000 cal/day. I'm between 1000-1500 right now. I don't think I could eat 2000 unless we went out to eat. I'm a lot less "fuzzy" when I eat more. I have way more energy. My wt is still the same. You have to understand too, that the winter has been really weird for me.
In Jan I swam (81,000) and ran and did P90X a lot. Lost 8 lbs.
In Feb I swam 61,000 and was sick for an entire 2 weeks and only swam 3x during those 2 weeks.
In March I swam 313,000 and did nothing else. Got sick again, but swam anyway as I had a goal to achieve :D
I know after Nationals, when I start running again, that the rest of this weight will come off really quickly. I just get so frustrated b/c I want to do more than swim right now, but that won't lend itself to a good Nationals
:blah: sorry to ramble, but I don't want to seem like I'm complaining about my wt, I know it will go away, I'm just not able to make that happen right now :)

It's a regular HR monitor that also counts calories- that's it. The features I can think of (that I didn't look for specifically) are that it stores your data, in a file, for up to 13 workouts and then deletes the oldest info first. There is also a way to download it to your computer, but I just wrote the info I wanted into my little book.
When I got it, it took me about 2 minutes to type in: age, M/F, wt, and ht. It automatically knew my HR zones based on that info. One thing though, be sure as you lose wt, to change the wt in the watch. There is a difference in calories burned.
One other thing I thought was interesting is that it tells you how much of the calories you burned was fat. For example, 40% fat burned. I'm still not quite sure how that works, so if someone could enlighten me I'd appreciate it.
