Spaz!

It has taken 320 days of combined diet and exorcise, and I'm down 70 pounds. I think I'll actually go to the pool with my boy this year. I don't think I'll be attracting any ladies, but I hopefully won't attract any whalers either. Has anyone else dealt with muscle spasums In the calves? My walks have progressed to 5ks a few times a week at an 8-9 min mile pace. I've had this in both legs for about a month. I took the last week off from exercise and it hasn't stopped. I just got my bloodwork back for life insurance, everything looked great except for LOW cholesterol. I've never heard of that before. ANYTHING RING A BELL HERE? - Tim

hm... a close friend of mine was having trouble with muscle spasms too, and she found that eating more magnesium-rich foods helped greatly.

Wondering if you could be low on potassium.

I was having horrible muscle cramps in my calves at night. Doctor suggested a vitamin D supplement and I haven't had any problems since.
