  • Okay, thanks everyone. I'm not alone, and some of you also saw little waist reduction. Thanks for sharing. :)
  • You have problems. LOL! I asked for information about insulin resistance, and if that might be why I was having trouble losing weight. I am not "presuming" I have Insulin resistance. If you have zero expertise with insulin resistance, maybe YOU are the one who should refrain from "answering" questions about it. LOL!
  • Thanks for the encouragement. I appreciate it. I'm really starting to wonder, though. I don't know how accurate those home scales are, but mine always reads about the same for fat %, water weight, and bone mass. Body fat % might be up a percent or two, then goes back down to my starting %. Today I only did weight, so I…
  • I suspect, based on more reading I've been doing, that it is actually the insulin resistance. There is not a single chance that I'm eating over 2,000 calories er day (usually more like 1,500-1,800), and I used to be an athlete, so I know my workouts are pretty intense. What I mean is, the insinuation that I'm kidding…

  • I'm vegan and don't have an especially hard time eating at restaurants. I will say there are times I have to "make up for" a deficient restaurant meal, later. Let's see......last night, I went to a meat-centric pub, and had bruschetta (no cheese), and a veggie burger (no creamy sauces or cheese) with sweet potato fries. I…
  • Let's see... An average of 3.4mph x 30 minutes = 1.7 miles. 100 cal/mile = 170 calories burned. If it's 120 cal/mile, it would be 204. That's almost exactly what your treadmill indicated. It's up to you which you think is more accurate, but they both seem to be about right, with 120 cal/mile being closest to your treadmill.
