I did stop running. But the pain is still there. Just curious how long I should give it to go away on its own before it is time to see a doctor.

I didn't mean it in any disrespectful way. It was jut a lot of information and terms that I didn't understand. But I do very much appreciate the time you took to get that information and post it here for my reading. Please don't take offense to what my response was. I didn't mean it to be mean :\

Could this then mean that I am not drinking enough water if my body feels the need to hold on to it? I also recently just started adding amino acids to my water when I work out. Could this be causing it too? I would think not because I thought those were supposed to HELP your muscles when you work out, not make them hold…

That was A LOT of information and I am not sure if I really even understand it all. Prior to the injury, I had been walking on the treadmill for a couple months. Before I started this run on it, I had never ran before. I just feel its kind of weird that it is BOTH knees in the EXACT same spot with the EXACT same type of…

I wish what he posted was in plain English. That was WAY too much information for me to process. Lol. Do you think I am able to still do the stationary bike because that doesn't put any weight on my knees? Or do I just not need to do anything AT ALL? And how long is "normal" for pain to stay there before it is there too…

Does the area that I described sound common? I feel like maybe it is internal bruising from the impact of the running maybe? It is on both legs/knees in the EXACT same spot. If it was just on one, I would lean towards it being maybe a more serious injury like something was torn. But the fact that It is on both in the exact…

Funny you should mention that...I have been working out the past month or so but the past week I haven't been able to do it as hardcore as I usually do because I hurt my knee. But even then I was still losing water good. BUT today, this morning, was the first day that I went back and had a good workout. So that could be…

My diet hasn't changed. I am staying on track of everything like I normally do. The only thing that has changed is that my body isn't letting go of the water like it normally does lol. And I always weigh myself right when I get up in the morning after I go to the bathroom.

And I am not eating much sodium at all. I just don't get why my body was releasing it last week and now it decides to hold on to it all =(

Well, it has affected my weight. Thats why I know my body is holding onto the water for some reason. I have jumped up like 4 pounds the past 2 days.

To lose.

So I entered my info and now under "Your Diet Profile" it tells me From Normal Daily Activity I burn 2,160 cal/day. So pretty much by being alive and functioning on a daily basis I automatically lose that many calories??? So then if I work out and eat less than 2160 calories a day, then I will lose weight? Did I interpret…

How do I know how much a burn on a daily basis just in regular living...not working out and stuff. Just normal things. I know that when I work out on a treadmill or anything similar, it will tell me exactly how many calories I am burning.

This may sound like a really stupid question, but can working out too much make it harder to lose weight? I am at the gym 6 days a week, but there are also some things that I wanted to do at home also. With regards to working out, is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?

I am somewhat new to all of this...what does caloric deficit mean? Is that just how many calories I should have a day? And what are macros?

I am not necessarily restricting my diet, I am just making a more daily effort to eat healthy. Which I didn't do before. I ate rice pasta bread, all the time, with no limits.

So then it seems fair? Because someone who weighs less will have to work harder to lose the weight compared to someone who has more to lose to start with? I am drinking about 160 ounces a day. Which I just recently started measuring. I found a "formula" based off of your weight, which tells you how many ounces of water you…

The contest is based off of who loses the most % of their body weight. Which in a way almost seems unfair to me. Because say someone weighs 500 pounds, they lose 50 pounds and that is 10% of their body weight. But then you have someone that weighs 200 pounds, and they only have to lose 20 pounds to get that 10%. Unless…
