Do you count cooldown into your calories burned?
I wear a HRM and take strength training classes 3 days a week. But I never know whether to count my cooldowns into the "calories burned" during my workouts. Anyone count your cooldown calories? Or do you just count your warmup + actual exercise? Thanks!! :smile:

Treat Meal Strategy on Jackie Warner 5+2 plan?
I see that Jackie Warner's "This is Why You're Fat" book recommends having treat meals as having two treat meals during the week (each no more than 1500 calories). Has anyone tried this strategy? Does it still keep you on track with your weight loss? I'm thinking two 1500 calorie cheat meals are a bit much but maybe I'm…

How often do you take rest days?
I haven't taken a rest day this week, since I at least wanted to maintain my weight during the holiday weekend. But I usually take one day where I don't exercise, but it's usually not planned as to which day I take every week...I just go with it. lol Any of you do the same, or do you have a set day/days where you take that…

How much fish you can eat
I found a really cool site where I can see how much of a certain type of fish (or other seafood) that I can eat in a week. I was always concerned about the mercury in fish, because I eat wild Pacific salmon pretty frequently. But this put me at ease: http://www.howmuchfish.com/ Hope some of you can get use out of this.…

Suggestions on an accurate body weight scale?
And where I can change the batteries myself? Thanks! :bigsmile:

Any recs for a new scale?
I'd prefer a digital scale where I can change the batteries myself (AA/AAA). Also, for those that have a scale with body fat %, would anyone happen to know about how precise those numbers are? I've heard that they aren't very accurate, but was wondering how much they are usually "off" by. Thanks in advance everyone!…

I'd like to accurately weigh my food in multiple measurements (ounces, grams, etc). I'd prefer something that I can get at Bed, Bath and Beyond but I'm open to anything. Any recommendations? Thanks! :bigsmile:

Gain muscle or lose weight first?
I consider myself to be "skinny fat" due to the fact that I'm apple shaped and most of my flab comes from the arms and belly areas. After doing a couple calculations, it looks like I'm at about 26% body fat. But I find that it's so hard to lose weight and build muscle, it seems. At least for me. Any idea how to do this?…

I don't want to go into starvation mode or lose muscle, as I'm also doing strength training 3 days a…
