Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fat Burning - OH MY!
Help - I recently got the Wahoo HRM to help track my calories burned. The app has Anaerobic, Aerobic, Fat Burning zones. I have no idea where I should be - in what zone, for how long, etc. I am pretty close to goal, 110lbs down, working out 4-6x's a week, for 45 mins (that is my goal).

Burning vs Aerobic vs Anerobic zones
Hi all - I need some help with figuring out which of these zones I should concentrate on. I am still trying to lose a bit more weight and want to do it the most efficiently as possible. I use a HRM and I see I flucutate in all three. Should I stay in the fat burning zone or push thru to the other two? :smile:

LapBand & Burping
I was told after I had the lapband surgery I wouldn't burp anymore. Well I do have the urge to burp occasionally and cannot. But I have lately started burping! And loud ones that I don't know are coming. Haven't done it at work in front of anyone but the hubby and I are wondering why I am doing this now. Anyone else having…

Afraid of Lettuce and the pouch
I had an episode one time long before the band - where I choked on a piece of lettuce :sad: . Scared me silly! So I am for some reason scared of eating a salad - I will nibble a bit on lettuce and if I cut it up into teeny tiny teeny tiny little itty bitty pieces I will have some. Has anyone had any issues with foods (like…

Need Help - Can't use Whey protein
I evidently have a negative reaction to Whey protein - bloating - and with my LapBand cannot use Whey as a protein source for now. Other than a soy protein I am using from SlimGenics (there isn't enough of a selection) I don't have a clue what is a good soy product. Any suggestions on a good tasting brand? Thanks alot!!…
