I'm not familiar about your disorders but have you had blood work done recently. Three years ago when I started going to a gym regularly (I mostly used the elliptical) I had the same problem and found out I was slightly anemic. I had to take iron supplements and that seemed to help tremendously with the sick feeling.

I've decided not to log my strength training days, only days when I do cardio as I'm not concerned about the amount of calories burned when I'm trying to build muscle. If I feel like I need extra calories afterwards I'll have a protein shake.

I understand that there will be some inaccuracy but I'm betting my guesstimates are much more inaccurate. I will keep that in mind though. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a runner so I prefer the classes.

Thank you all for the helpful advice. I agree Kari, it is a better option than guessing! I understand I'll have to figure the math myself but I do like the suggestion of subtracting 100 calories/hr. My workout routine usually involves one of the following per day: circuit training, kickboxing, HIIT, 20x20x20, Zumba,…

Just realized I posted this in the wrong message board...this has been moved to fitness and exercise message board. Hmmkay...thanks!

Two things...chocolate and sushi ooooh, or maybe chocolate sushi...is there such a thing? Anyhoo, I have to have sushi at least once a week and it's not always the healthy sushi either. :(

I know when I first started tracking calories and eating healthy I had hunger pains for the first week or so...mostly at night. I normally would drink a glass and a half of water which helped tremendously and if I still felt slightly hungry, I would sleep it off. I used to be concerned about eating when I felt hungry…

I totally put 4 times a day....whoohoo, what was I smoking? LOL. I fixed it to 4 times a week in case any of you read that already and were scratching your head. I love going to the gym but there's not enough time in my day to go that much. :)
