Can't get the same calorie burn as I used to
I'm fairly consistent at the gym - usually I'm there about 4 or 5 times a week. I do spinning classes, weight classes, elliptical and lift. I always wear a HRM so I can (somewhat) accurately know how many calories I'm burning. The past few weeks, I've noticed that I'm not burning the same amount of calories as I used to…

Heartburn during exercise??
The last 4 or 5 times I've done a spinning class, I've been getting mild heartburn. This is really strange because the only time I've ever had heartburn before is when I was pregnant (and I'm definitely NOT pregnant - hubby has had that taken care of, so I'd be in a lot of trouble if there was a bun in the oven!).

Down 5 lbs in 5 weeks - Up 5 lbs in 5 days!!

Came back after 5 days and weighed myself... gained 5 pounds!!! I was expecting to be up a pound or two, but wasn't ready for 5! :embarassed: First…

Overweight friends and a busy social life
Okay, this is the first time I've posted something, but I need a little advise/support here. I need to get healthy again, and have been doing pretty good sticking to my calorie intake and trying to get in exercise when I can (I'll admit - could do way better with this part). During the week, it's going okay. However, on…
