He put me on prilosec and I’m taking antibiotics…

Bicycling Questions from an Overweight Beginner
Small amount of info: Overweight female that hurt her knee during a 5k that has never healed all the way that just got my own bike. The bike is a good starter for me even though I bought it from a major retailer (Wal-Mart) but money was tight so it was what I could afford right now. The weight limit on my bike says 250…

Did you ever do try something exercise-centric and then realized you LOVED it? (biking, running, etc
In my town, you can rent a bicycle at a stand (there are tons of them located around the city) for 8 dollars for 24-hour access. I thought the idea was neat but I hadn't ridden a bike since I was 10 years old (I'm 32 now).. so I rented one with my friend after we got to a certain point when we were walking on some trails..…

Question about metformin
I have pcos. I'm also pretty positive I have sleep apnea and a mild form of social anxiety or maybe just anxiety in general but I don't know since I haven't been properly diagnosed for it. However, I went to the doctor to get metformin (and an estrogen birth control since I don't want to get pregnant) and when she asked…

Fitbit users: 430c logged, now it's 386c. Any ideas?
But I ate my lunch, logged my food.. the exercise calories I had burned from the gym (and some Just Dance 4) were 430 calories. Okay, cool. Come back maybe an hour later and the calories have magically gone from 430 to 386. I noticed it did that before once but I didn't think anything about it. If it's happened since then,…

My bf says I'm going to the gym too much
I get out of work at 11am and I go to the gym Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I don't go on Tuesday or on the weekend (Planet Fitness is normally overpacked on those days and I like going right after work since it doesn't have too many people). I start by doing Zombies Training Couch25k Monday, Wednesday and…

We are always on the move and…

Planet Fitness Gym question
So, I was thinking of getting a membership at Planet Fitness in my town. There is one close by after I move to that location and wanted to sign up online. It is a gym I would be able to afford and very close as well. That's where I'm confused. They have a 20 dollars a month and it's, like, it has everything. Can go to any…
