  • I have to run on a treadmill since I'm a stay at home mom with a toddler that does not tolerate a jogging stroller.

  • Okay, I have tried reading this four times to understand, and I have been interrupted by kids over and over and can't grasp it. I am trying to lose 2 lbs a week and have plateaued. I am given 1490 calories a day. Today I burned 478 doing cardio so I have a total of 1968 calories today. You're recommending I take the total…
