gave the wife a good laugh
I am about halfway there on my weight loss goal, but things are going ok. Came home yesterday from my second job and changed into some shorts but didn't bother putting on a belt.

calories counters on equipment at gym?
I have seen statements that the calories counter on treadmills etc are not too accurate and will give a higher than actual calories used count.

eat a little before workout?
I usually have my last meal about 6:30 at nite. 5 days a week my gym opens at 4:45am, 7 on sat. Since it has been awhile since my last food, would I get a better workout by eating a little before hitting the gym? I usually have a meal about an hour after coming home from the workout.

Shred diet - Big wt loss in week 1
Started Ian Smiths diet last week with unbelievable results I think. My wife & I are both mid 50's. I need to lose about 40 lbs & had lost about 8 since the new year. At the end of week 1 my wife lost 6lbs & I lost 8.5. Is this typical for some?
