Thank you everyone for your thoughts and suggestions. I am going to take everything everyone said and put them into my eliptical training. I realize now it is more important to go as long as I can so I am gonna lower my intensity level. I am also gonna stop looking at the monitor for calories burned because I still think…

Yeah I was just looking for one on ebay. Does it matter if its just a watch one? Is it accurate enough? I would love to get the ones that go around me but don't have the money for it right now.

I guess I will just go with the lowest number calculator online. 26 calories burned in three minutes. So if I do that 4 times I would burn 104.

But my question is...if I do let's say 30 minutes at 3.4 mph I'm only gonna burn 45 calories? That doesn't make any sense.

The monitor only shows the time..distance..mph..and calories burned.

I tried that in the beginning..but still was only able to go for about 5 mins at a time with no break. So I decided to intensify it to at least try and get more out of it.

I do know that on both sides of my family cholesterol was an issue. But as far as the last time I checked with the doctor my cholesterol is finef right now. That was a few months ago.

No not really looking to diminish my cholesterol. I am trying to lose weight (a lot) but I just want to do it healthiest way I can without totally depriving myself. I watch not only the calories I take in everyday but the nutrients too. I'm usually below my limit of cholestol every day..which mfp gives me I think 300. But…

Whew! Thanks :-)

Yea I guess I should be happy about it. Its just kinda floored me because I was steadily losing for a few weeks then didn't see any change in the past few days. At least I know now its not anything I'm doing wrong.

Thank you about the baby. I almost lost all my baby weight (had emily heaven at 12/20/2013). Now I'm just trying to get the rest off. I want this to be life changing. Not to just lose weight real quick to pack it back on. So its very important to me to lose weight as healthy as I can. I am glad you guys don't think I…
