The treadmill is terribly disorienting for me. I run a lot better when I get to run outside but as a single mom of a young child, I rarely get the chance to run alone.

Thanks for all the advice! I still cannot run for anything. I can do an hour non-stop on the elliptical, burn 700 cals and everything. But when I get on a treadmill, I last maybe 3-4 minutes I just cannot run on the treadmill. I don't even know if I am going to be able to run the entire thing

I don't have a specific "training plan", just running and cardio and stuff. My gym buddy helps keep me on track and we both push each other

I use what the machines at the gym tell me :) I'm looking into getting a HRM but it's gonna have to wait for now

I've noticed that MFP overestimated calories burned. I use what the elliptical or treadmill tells me instead

I'm training for my first ever running 5K. I've walked them before but now I have a gym buddy who wants to run so she is helping me get ready I generally burn 500-700 calories 4-5 days a week doing cardio. And I'm sure it's more with the weight training I do. It doesn't feel like too much. I feel fine and energetic.

So I can keep burning a lot, as long as I am eating to keep up?

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Looks like I just have to work a bit harder. I'm gonna speak with my doctors and see what they have to say about the meds
