Ugh My Knee Hurts What Should I Do About Calories
Woke up this morning and my right lateral aspect of my knee hurts like hell. I'm so frustrated. Sometimes the medial aspect hurts, but this time it's lateral and its bad.

30 Day Shred - Should I move onto the next level?
Should I move onto level 2 or only when I'm good enough at level 1? I've done level 1 and 2 in the past and wanted to do it again because it's familiar.

I was using Zombies, Run! but the main app doesn't provide any structure once c25k is over. I downloaded the Nike Run Club app and, while there is some structure there, what…

What does “gardening” mean on the exercise log for cardio?
I do several hours of gardening most days but most of it is not physically strenuous, eg weeding, using the strimmer. I also clock up a lot of “steps” but it’s not brisk walking. I do very little digging, mainly raking, hoeing, watering with a can. The impact on my weight loss is minimal, although I also do cardio and…

Calorie adjustment
