C25K with plantar fasciitis?
Hi Has anyone done C25K despite having plantar problems? I'd really like to do it, but my plantar which is currently feeling fine, seems to flare up if I even do a few jumping jacks. I miss that cardio buzz and energy. Currently doing 3-4 bootcamps a week but all modified with no jumping or running. Also walk 3-4 times a…

Best restaurant choices?
I have a big family <3 and we are always out and about. I know packing a snack or lunch is best, but if I end up at a fast food place (because they are inexpensive for a big family), what are the best ones to go to and what are your favorite things to order that are relatively healthy (for fast food) and still taste great?…

Scales
So I have a set of common bathroom scales bought from a home store type place and although I am not a slave to the scales the readings I get are really random depending on where I place them on the floor? Now a quick search on Amazon shows loads of Bluetooth fitness scales and the like but I fear they are all just…

Question about scales - fat and muscle
Today my daughter had an appointment with a dietician, she is almost 18 and starting to form some anxiety regarding her weight and trying to get a balanced diet. I was in the appointment since she is a minor, and in general I think what she said was good - do not count calories at her age, add strength training to cardio,…

Women 5'6-5'8 165-185 lbs., What Size are you?
I'm curious. So I have lost weight before. I am 5'7" and at my very biggest I was about 230 pounds and a size 16/18 (16's were a little tight, 18's a little loose). I was very young then. I starved myself for about a year and a half and got down to 165 pounds and a size 8. I don't know how I only lost 65 pounds in a year…

DEXA Scans - I did two - who else has experience?
DEXA scans are meant to be the gold standard for body composition. I found it interesting to read the results, but having done 2 tests after 15kg weight loss in between showed some fairly random results (like one of my arms accumulating 3 kg of fat whilst I lost 15kg across the body?) Does someone have a history of…

Body fat % very high but BMI not obese/overweight
Hey everyone I have had my body fat percentage measured and cannot believe how high it was considering my BMI. At the time I weighed 68 kg (150 lbs) at 5'3, and my BF% was 39%. After a few months of exercising and eating at my deficit, I managed to get down to 61 kg (134 lbs), which is within a healthy BMI. However, my BF…

Knee injury and calorie requirements
Hey everyone, I twisted my knee and fell a couple of weeks ago. It hurt so bad and it was swollen too.

COVID Ruined My Step Streak :(
I had a 4.5 year, 10,000 steps a day streak going. Through every illness and injury I pulled it off. Until this. I am not that sick (thank goodness for vaccines), but I am completely exhausted.

Weight gains after 16 hour fast?
For starters, I’m asking the question out of curiosity I’m not upset that I gained a small amount of weight. So I fast on Sundays for 16 hours, and today was also an “official” weigh in day for me. I happened to check my weight prior to the fast and I just finished checking it now. How do you gain .5 lbs in 16 hours when…

Cognisant self-sabotage - how to avoid it...
Folks, I'm seeking your wisdom and insight. Though I'm probably a year away from needing to worry about maintenance, I'm already putting a lot of thought into my maintenance strategy/plan, because I've been down this road before (at least 5 times).

Re-Learning Sleep Positions with Weight Loss
What I need is someone to re-teach me how to sleep. Does such a wizard exist and what are they called if they do? I did not realize how much I changed my position over decades as I slowly gained weight. Now that I’ve lost it, I can’t get comfortable at night. I “fat sleep” to accommodate weight that’s no longer there, and…

Unexpected dexa scan bf%
Hello I just wanted to get some feedback on whether I should get a second measurement - dexa again, or another method. The US navy calculator estimates my body fat to be around 20% although I felt like it may be around 25 before I went in for dexa. I got 36% body fat, which was really unexpected. I do want to focus on…

Negative Net cals
I’m 110 pounds right now and usually have a negative net calorie intake, or about a 200 net calorie weekly average. This is just the difference between my exercise and food intake not including metabolism or anything. Is having the average net calories be negative good? Will it speed weight loss?
