Questions about calorie burn
I just finished 41 minutes of walking/running on my treadmill. The treadmill says I burned 358 calories (cheaper treadmill that doesn't ask for your weight), fitbit one says 377, and my polar Ft4 says 334.

Feeling a little discouraged
So I tonight I was out at the bar with friends. I did my hair, makeup, was wearing a cute outfit and felt great. I've lost 80lbs and am feeling so much more confident but still about 40lbs away from my goal weight. I feel like I looked pretty hot. So at the end of the evening my friends get in a cab and I'm about to get in…
