THANK YOU, now I understand. And actually it's pretty funny, you hit it very close to home. When I'm on the elliptical for 30 minutes, it usually says I burn between 300-312 calories. I wonder if that's pretty accurate.

6 degrees, oh boy, now that is cold. Treadmill without a doubt!

Yes, I'm looking for the nutritional information for the cooked pasta.

WOW, thank you for all that information. I don't mean to sound stupid here, but could you explain #6 a little bit to me? I don't quite get it. I'm thinking I have to cut back on calories? But I thought I was suppose to be taking in 1200? Do I always have to take in 1200? Thanks for your response!

Oh that is so funny cause I do the same thing. Then what I do is Google any question I may have like 2oz pasta equals..... then I get my answer, then I log it in. Then of course I actually measure out my pasta after it cooks so I know exactly how many servings I'm eating. BTW, I sure love pasta! And rice, and potato, and…

It shows some sort of image, I really can't make out what it is. Where can I find it?

Diannethegeek I press on that link but nothing happens. Silly me, I'll Google it, I'm sure that will help so I can see what you sent me. :)

Rosebarnalice Yes I do agree with that, no doubt. I am definitely going to get one.

Sault_girl I am trying to lose about 10 to 15 pounds. And trying to slim and tone my legs (well more so thighs) as well as tone and define my arms.

Running is my downfall. I never tried it on the treadmill at the gym, for I have a fear of it for some reason, lol! I probably would go running or jogging outside, but, I never do it. I would like to get some weights for home so that when I have some down time, I can use them..... maybe. :/

Ok, so I should be taking in 1200 calories a day? Sorry, like I said, I'm new to all this and trying to figure out what I should be doing and sticking to. And I appreciate all the advice and recommendations I can get. My basic day at the gym consist of going on the elliptical for 30 to 45 minutes breaking a nice sweat.…

Hi there Jkhoffe! OMG, I'm so right there with you on the wine, pizza and TV, better yet Netflix, lol. But I do understand how you feel. I feel the same way. I basically would like to lose about 10 - 15 pounds and tone up. I'd like to see tighter, firmer legs, and nice toned, defined arms. Not big muscle type, just a nice…

HamsterManV2 So if my calorie intake says 1200, I should only be using 700 calories?

Thanks for responding. Ok, let's see if I can answer all these questions. I'm new to all this so I may not answer correctly for there's a lot I'm still unsure about. Like how much calories should I be eating a day? When I workout, I log in MAP what I did and it adds it in the exercise part. Does that mean I should just…

Hi Angie! Thanks for replying :) I'm sorry to hear about your walking/workout buddy. But she'll be back and at it in no time. I wish I had someone to workout with, I just feel it's so much better. And I don't mean you need to be chit-chating the whole time, you know. Gotta work, gotta sweat! I basically go to the gym 4-5…
