how accurate are the arc-trainers?
I was wondering if brand new arc-trainers calculate calories burned accurately. The one's at my gym are shiny new, but a lot of people on here say that you only really burn about 70% of what the machines say you do. I'm wondering if this is why I haven't been losing because I eat most of the calories that those machines…

I don't eat bananas anymore, for example, because they contain as much sugar as I am allowed in a day. I also read somewhere that fructose is very readily stored as fat and encourages storage of foods eaten subsequently as…

anyone wanna be buddies?
Having "friends" on this website is useful, yes, but still a little impersonal for me. I just think it would be helpful to have one person who you are accountable to, someone who is guarunteed to pay attention to what you're eating and how much you are exercising (shame is a powerful tool lol) SO0ooo does anyone wanna be…
