  • Nevermind, the scale was broken. Still at 164 :( I think I've reached the point where I just can't lose weight. Oh well. Hope everyone else has better results than I do.

  • I have issues when I run and swim as well, but I've found the elliptical to be much easier on my lungs while still getting a great work out as long as you have appropriate resistance settings.

  • I had no idea you could change those settings!! I'm so doing that one. I can stop trying to do the math in my head every day on how I want to eat more protein I want then what they say.
