Tib/Fib Fracture, a nasty one
3 weeks ago, my horse jumped to the side and I wasn't fast enough. He came down in the bottom part of my lower leg. Turned the tibia into dice and put a displaced compound fracture in the fibula. The next day I had an ORIF done, 2 plates, 22 screws. Doc said I was to be completely non weight bearing for 6 weeks, and then…

Discouraged
Well I just finished my 3rd week of using this app and now I’m going into my 4th week. The first two weeks were great. I lost 3.4 pounds but this week even though I stuck to the plan perfectly I didn’t lose weight. Is this normal?

Listen, being a champion isn’t about making others stumble—it's about pushing your own limits every single day. I fight because I love the feeling of breaking barriers, not because I want to see others fall behind. Every stride is about self-improvement, about inspiring people to lace up and chase their own dreams. In my…
