JUNE STARTERS

Welcome everybody!!
Any suggestions on this topic: I went for a brisk walk for 30 minutes late yesterday evening and I had stomach cramps all night afterwards. I did do a cool down walk for a 1/2 block before going in. I took a shower and went to bed around 30 minutes after walking. Does anybody know what caused this or what do I need to do to calm the cramps. (It felt like menstrual, but it is not even close to that time of the month).
Note: I just started walking laps again this week. I never felt anything like this before.0 -
Dehydration?? Did you drink enough water all day??0

My name is Courtney and I am a June starter too! I'm glad we have our own group!
SW: 191
CW: 184.5
GW: 150
Currently shooting for 60 mins cardio/6x week, with weight training for 15-30 mins a few times a week.
I don't really have a time frame, not really sure what is realistic. I guess just when I get there, I get there! Hopefully before I come back to school in the end of August I can lose a lot more so people will see a big difference! Wahoo June starters!!!
YAY!!! My girl Courtney_Love!!!! So, glad you joined!!!!0 -

I had a "tummy ache" after a hard workout the other day.....it was because I drank too much water before and during my workout..... Don't do that people...its unpleasant
Um....I'm not sure...maybe you are just getting back to doing this laps and your body was rebelling....I'm not sure Maybe someone else will have something....0 -
Dehydration?? Did you drink enough water all day??
I had a total of 10 bottles of water and 1 powerade (calorie free)--throughout the day. ( I had quite a bit of water that afternoon watching my little girl play t-ball). It was 105 degrees (counting heat index)--very, very humid. When I started walking it dropped down in the lower 80's + heat index. Do you think I just got overheated? The temperature is suppose to be like that today too, so I think when I walk, I will drop the speed a notch. Maybe I will be able to sleep tonight. I am really exhausted---I am fighting sleep here at work.:yawn:0 -
Thanks ladies (KandyJo & Meags23) for your responses. I believe your right about my body rebelling. I am a little sore from walking and doing some strength exercises. I guess I will need to find the right pace for me until my body gets use to it.0

Geez - you may have thrown off your electrolites!!! 10 bottles of water - as in 5 litres??? The old adage, "8 cups a day" would be 4 water bottles, and it seems that the buzz these days is that people are drinking too much water. Just putting this out there!

I had a stomach cramp yesterday during my walk... I think it was a combo of not enough water and no dinner. I was backwards, I normally eat dinner and wait about an hour then go for my walk but yesterday I went for my walk and then ate dinner. Never had a cramp before.
Oh and can I skip mondays weigh in? Its my TOM and the scale hates me. LOL:laugh:0 -

I've been holding the 210 steady, but I just can't seem to make it drop some... stupid water weight :laugh: :laugh: Even busted my butt yesterday and walked 3-1/4 miles and it still won't budge at all ... so hopefully mid next week I'll have a decent loss, and I'll post that as my late monday weigh-in. haha0 -

My bad - poor calculation:blushing: I had 4 water bottles at work and before the T-ball game was over--I ended up drinking another 2 bottles + the powerade. Can you drink too much water?0 -
Hi! I'm Renee... and I'm a June starter!
I am a high school teacher. Since I'm off for summer vacation, it has been much easier to get myself into the gym consistently. But the scale isn't budging... so I know my diet needs some "tweaking"!
SW: 151 lbs.
CW: 150 lbs. (even after a 4 day, all-u-can-eat cruise. Not bad!)
mini- goal weight: 140 lbs. by Aug. 12, (when school starts up again. I want someone to ask, "Are you losing weight?" after not seeing me all summer.)
GW: 135 lbs. (yes, I have a particular pair of jeans waiting in my closet for this day! :bigsmile: )
Good luck to everyone!0 -
Hi...
I don't start until tomorrow (have been on diets in the past, but restarting for the first time this year).
I am 30 years old and live in Kent, England with my bf of 2 1/2 years.
I have been a UK14 for 12 years now and have not been able to get below 154lb on any of my previous attempts.
Start Weight:- 170lb
Current Weight:- 170lb
Target Weight:- 140lb
Mini goals...
159lb by July 31st (my birthday)
153lb...anytime...just to be below 154lb for the first time in 12 years would be fantastic!0 -
I just wanted to say Have A Good Weekend All!
I'm not usually on the computer during the weekends, and weekends are the hardest time for me!
I plan to stay maragarita free for another week! Wish me luck.
See you on Monday!
