Chronic upset stomach after eating
For the past 3 weeks or so, after I eat I get an upset 'stomach', about 45 or so after.

There are a few…

Biggest Loser exercise calories Q
On the biggest loser "diet" do they eat their exercise calories? I have googled it and not found an answer. I have started following what they do with 4-3-2-1 and it's been great, just wondering if I should be eating my exercise calories, as I find it hard enough to eat my 1260 calories to begin with as my appetite is not…

Heart rate Monitor suggestions

Buying an elliptical
I am buying an elliptical trainer (from craigslist). I am wondering what brands are the better ones. I prefer to stay around $250 or so, so a Cybex or True Fitness one is not an option, due to cost. I need one that my husband (tall and big-muscular) and I can use without being a piece of caca. Also, which ones to stay away…

Running tips
I started the C25K on Monday and have never really ran before. Tried a few times and quit. I would like to continue and have a partner helping me.

HR Monitor vs MFP
I am doing the C25K and when I am running my HR Monitor says I burn more calories than MFP says, by about 100-150 higher. It seems very close to MFP when I do Circuit training, Walking, etc. Running just seems to be off. Which one is closer to being correct.

Drinking more H20-Gaining weight...AHH!?
I was told by my trainer to drink half my weight in ounce of water each day, as I drink maybe 1-2 glasses a day if that now. She said it would help me lose the weight easier as my body is probably dehyrated. I brought a gallon of water to work and managed to get 3/4 of it drank from 7-3pm. I urinated like crazy but was…

Lower sugar breakfast shake
I like to drink carnation instant breakfast packets in soy milk on weekends for a quick breakfast on the go, but the sugar content is so high. I need some ideas on an alternative with lower sugar. I like the ease factor of tearing open a package and mixing it with milk.
