Fitness How many calories did I burn, exactly? Feb 12 2008

See, I have the opposite problem.  The machine always tells me I burn half or 2/3 of the amount that CC tells me I burn.  I usually just take CC's estimation with a grain of salt and figure it's a bit less....don't think that really helps but that's my two cents. Anybody else with this problem? (sorry for going off-topic)

That's so funny because one of the girls I'm going with has a good friend who lives in Chennai!  So we're staying there for a few days with his family.  I'll definitely have to look into Mahabalipuram.  Yeah I am so incredibly excited, and I heard that I'm pretty much guaranteed to get sick!

Do you know of some good stomach medicine?  I heard over-the-counter stuff was ok, any suggestions?  Also anything else you could tell me to see would be awesome.

hey mlbryan thanks for the welcome :) i do have a membership to a gym but i'll be completely honest, i hate going unless it's about 2 in the morning because i'm so embarrassed about my extra fat jiggling all over!  i've worked out 3 times/week for the last 2 weeks and it's been pretty good -- cardio as well as weight training.

as for India, i would absolutely love to hear some of your stories and get suggestions on where to go!  i'm flying in with 2 friends to New Dehli and our plan was to stay about a week there, then fly down to somewhere in Goa and make our way around to the south east over the next 3 weeks, then fly back up to Dehli to fly home (although we're also making a pit stop on the way home in Paris for 5 days!)

p.s. i should probably know this, but what's mutton?

hey everybody!  i just turned 22 and i'm from WI.  i'm 5'5, and until about the last year or so i had always been at 180, and i'm now weighing in at 220!  so i need to lose a good 80 lbs or so.  i've always played sports throughout high school and was equally muscley and chubby, but since college started it's a lot less muscley and a lot more chunky.  it's tough because i don't have the time to make really good meals or eat little meals 6 times a day when i work and am on campus all the time, and being on a college budget doesn't help because all the cheapest food is the worst for you! plus factor in all the bar weekends and drunken pizza pig outs and the list goes on. 

i'm going backpacking through india for a month at the end of may and i need to be free of  most of this extra fat and get some muscle back.  besides being slimmer, i want to just be HEALTHIER.  overeating is definitely my worst problem because i won't eat for hours and hours and then i'll gorge myself late at night. 

today is my first day on the site and i cannot wait to really stick with this and turn a new leaf.  i'm so glad i found it, i know it'll be so much easier with the constant support of everyone! thanks margod!
