Light headed and weak/shaky following hard lifting?
I searched for this, but didn't find anything, so I thought I'd ask, because I'm not sure if this is a result of lifting too heavily or if I need to see a doctor. I did day 1 of NROLW the day before yesterday. Obviously I have needed to hold on to the handicap rails to go to the bathroom and have been moving at the slowest…

HRM Help (big breasted gals, please read!)
Do I need to duct tape the girls up to my shoulders to get the chest strap to work properly? My bra goes right where the chest strap should, but when my bra covers the front, the chest strap doesn't read so well. The minute I pull it below, it reads, but then slides down. Is it effective when lower than where it should be?…

Large Gap between machine & MFP
I know I need to get a HRM, but until I get some things paid off, it's just a luxury I can't justify. Having said that, does anyone know why there's such a large gap between what MFP says I burn and what the machine says I burn? I'm talking a 70 calorie difference, and that's just today. It varies from day to day,…

Spin class or elliptical?
Which do you think burns more calories per hour? I need to get a workout in, but it needs to be shorter than usual today and I know there are many calories in my future, so I'm trying to be proactive. ;) Thanks for any input!

Random question about sweat(ing)
I have been wondering about this, so as lame as it sounds, I'm just going to ask: Sweating occurs when the body heats up, yes? Does muscle heat at a lower temp than fat? Because since I've been lifting weights, I sweat way more on the parts of my body where my new muscles have developed than I did when I was all jiggly…

Weight lifting question
What is the difference between "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" and "Circuit Training - general"? There seems to be a HUGE gap in calories burned, so I'm just curious if there's a big difference in the activities themselves. Any insight appreciated. :)

Food scales - Too lazy?
I am. I usually estimate the foods I need to (and always over-estimate, just to be safe). Am I the only one not willing to weigh everything? Also, is it bad that I over-estimate to err on the side of caution? I don't think the calories that may not actually exist will result in me eating too little to lose. I never have a…

Thinner at night?
I always notice that my rings are falling off later in the day. I thought we are at our "lightest" in the morning? Has anyone else experienced this?
