Cannot find answer to my heart rate question?!
Hello, I've been working out for about 2 months consistently on the elliptical and my heart rate is usually at 150. There has been one or two times when my heart rate was 130 and I'm wondering why that is. I've only lost about 8 pounds so far so it couldn't be a plateau, right? Just want to make sure I'm getting the most…

Calculating Butcher Meats?
How can I calculate butcher meats? For example, we have stuffed mushrooms and I'm not exactly sure how much of each ingredient is in there and the label doesn't provide that information. Normally I would just guess but I'm trying to be more accurate with counting calories. Thank you!

What do people think about..?
So recently I've decided to get more serious about weight loss. I've lost 30 pounds but recently put more back on and I'm kinda tired of the fluctuating.

Drinking calories?
I need opinions. So lately I've been noticing that milk and orange juice are high in calories but they aren't food, so I'm hesitant to keep wasting my calories on beverages. I don't drink pop so that's not an issue, and I always get plenty of water. The only drinks I ever splurge on are coffee, orange juice, milk, tea, and…

Bloating advice
So today I did not eat particularly well. I would not say binge, but I over did it on the carbs. This whole week I feel I haven't been paying close enough attention to portion sizes, just been really busy. After today though I feel bloated and icky and I haven't felt like this in weeks and I hate it, I'm shocked I miss my…
