Not sure where this would go. What scale do you go by?
My scale says that I weigh 267, but at my weight loss doctor's the scale says 275. Either way I am down 3 pounds at home and 5 from the doctor's records. So I don't know which to actually go by. At home I weigh myself weekly.

I usually walk on a bike path near my house which is part of Ice Age Trail that runs 1200 miles through WI, but lately I've been hiking at Devil's Staircase which is also part of the Ice Age Trail. Never even knew Janesville, WI had this nice trail in the bluffs along the Rock River.

Anyone else dealing with high triglycerides, but the total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL levels are within the normal range? That is what I am dealing with. I don't know how to get it down either except by just losing weight. What are you doing for it?

Anyone like me and...
put down more than what you actually do eat in your food log? I have been just calculating what I will eat and putting that down, but I know I am eating less than that.

How much water do you drink while doing your cardio?
I am just wondering. I drink just over 32 ounces during my hour on the treadmill (5 minute warm-up, 50 cardio and 5 minute cool-down). When I am doing that I get so thirsty and take sips throughout my workout. Am I the only one that drinks constantly? Oh I have a 32 ounce water bottle and fill it to the top past the marker.
