Just an opinion...do not focus on the accuracy of the machines at the gym when it comes to burning calories. The machines dont take into account your muscle mass and etc. You may want to consider to invest in a body bug or some other device. Good Luck!

How Long Do You Burn Calories After A Workout?
PasadenaGal replied to shues138's topic in Fitness & Exercise
My trainer told me that if you do 50 mins of cardio or more, your body will continue to burn calories when your bosy is at rest for 12 hours... -
Be careful...I started to excersize 2 weeks after my surgery and then I found out yesterday that my port had flipped and the doctor wasnt able to give me a fill...I need to have surgery in two weeks so he can sew it back into place...I started out b walking, then doing the elliptical, sit ups and etc...

The same exact thing happened to me today when I was scheduled to have my 1st fill. I am so disappointed. I am going back in 2 weeks and having another surgery with local anesthesia to flip my port. The only positive thing is that I will be getting my 1st fill at the same time...Good Luck! So I went for my first fill today and the Dr. Tells me that my port is flipped and he cannot do a fill! He said to wait 2 weeks to see if as it heals it flips back or can be manipulated as the scar tissue reduces. But there is greater than a 50% chance I will have to have another surgery to correct it. Has anyone else had to deal with this? Advice is greatly appreciated!

Fill until you feel R-E-S-T-R-I-C-T-I-O-N

Mine took 8 days after the surgery for the pain in my neck to go away. That pain was more intense than the actual surgery pain. Good Luck... -
That is awesome, congrats. Can you share with us the things that you are right, to help us out? I know that everyone's boday is different but it would be great to know what you are doing. I am getting my 1st fill on 10/25... Thanks PG!
