I got the same reaction from loved ones when I first lost weight. I think it was just a little alarming for them to see me suddenly noticeably smaller than I'd ever been since knowing them.

At the end of the workout it will tell me what I've burned if I've followed the plan, but the amount of calories burned seems high. Typically it's…
