  • so gals and guys I need to share this cause I just had a major breakthrough when it comes to my right inner elbow pain a slight twist inward of the arm and no pain when I do supported (sitting down with elbow resting against the insight of my thigh) dumbbell curls, it's just like 5° if that, it's amazing! anyway that got…

  • so emailed my family doctor today told him how well I was doing having lost over 20 lbs by swimming and how I dropped 5% in body fat, and I said now that the pool is closed I am trying to lift weights and my right elbow bothers me, so can I please have a cortisone shot, and this was his reply: "I do not recommend a steroid…
  • Thank you for you reply and suggestions, unfortunately pushups are a big no no way too much strain on the elbow, just to give you some perspective it hurts (burns) to wash my face with cold water first thing in the morning type of thing rows is how I damaged it in the first place, doing the rowing machine using wrong…

  • if you want to loose weight and just get it over with, then no potatoes just eat a meat ie protein and a green vegetable, so chicken and broccoli NO rice, salmon and green beans NO quinoa, steak and asparagus NO potatoes, eggs and spinach NO bread, something and something NO tortilla protein + green veggie you can thank me…
  • Edamame (high protein low fat) you want a true protein shake, try spinach, edamame, banana, egg whites, and almond milk) no protein powder junk, it's the best!
  • last day of swimming, so sad, they are closing the pool for the record: lost 23 pounds in 8 weeks and went from 22% body fat to 18% started out swimming 30 minutes then 45 for a few weeks, then built up to an hour none stop!
  • so we know you are female and overweight, not being rude just eyeballing so yes you can eat less than 1,300 calories (assuming healthy otherwise) I'm 6' and was 202 and would eat less than 1,200 and My Fitness Pal would complain I am not eating enough yet I was full, rested, and energetic Also keep in mind you are cutting…
  • happy to see this thread got some traction, I just want to give a quick update on my joints, so I found that swimming has been absolutely amazing the last 2 months and I have lost 23 pounds and dropped 4% of body fat, building up from 30 minutes to 45 to now 1 hour of swimming every single day, but I have some bad news,…
  • please share your stats, we can only tell that you are a female, but age, height, weight, activity level, etc. not knowing anything I would just up it by 100 calories per day for a week or two and see how your body responds, what does your macro pie graph look like?
  • original Chewy Chips Ahoy before they ruined the recipe trying to be healthy or cheap, same goes for Pringles
  • are you limited to indoors? if not than go for a nice walk each day, low impact and great for digestion, if you need to be indoors if you have a two story house do the stairs, or body squats (squats are king when it comes to exercise because you are exercising the biggest muscles on your body, biggest bang for the buck)…
  • how many grams of protein are you consuming per day?

  • we know you are female but additional stats would help, and your goal so we don't assume anything, what is happening to you could be a positive if you are gaining scale weight in the form of muscle but decreasing your body fat % (try putting on a pair of tight jeans once a week and see if they start to fit for example or a…
  • when you are starting just keep it simple, and just mix it up so you don't get bored, you can work on your RPMs ie fast spinning even on a 0 setting one day for like 30 minutes then the next day do a distance ride say for 20 miles to start at a little higher resistance setting I know I am not answering your question my…
  • probly covered already (but i'm too lazy to read all the replies) but scale weight is only one of multiple gauges you should use, a body fat tester is a great one to use, or a pinch test or a good ol's snug pair of your favorite jeans, try them on every week and see if they fit (people fight me on the body fat % testers…
  • if you run regularly than it is fine to run your regular distance / time or less, but if you seldom run or never run it's obviously not wise to start so soon after a cold, if your son recovered then most likely it's not Covid, if you get tested and test positive than I am being told assume your entire family household has…
  • my office for one hour every day !
  • Hey Jess that sucks, you do not mention your age and I know in the States asking a ladies age is not the thing to do, but maybe you can tell us what decade you are in ha ha. I ask because at 48 I do not recover in days like I did in my 20s or in weeks like I did in my 30s, now it's honestly all about months of rest, it…

  • the post above would not allow me to embed these pics
  • We are still talking about weight loss here right? ha ha
  • If I was single (grown kids living out of the house, and divorced for example) I would seriously fast for that entire bloody Thursday just go for a walk, take a shower, work out maybe, watch some movies or TV shows, and be that much ahead of the game come Friday morning when all my butter ball friends woke up 6 pounds over…
  • none, greatest exercise on earth!
  • oh, love your profile pic, epic!
  • consider a compromise, if you really want a burger and fries, try a burger and a salad, or an actual hamburger and fries instead of a cheese burger and fries most places use American "cheese" which is not a cheese at all, so stay away from this corn based imposter also go out to lunch (smaller portions) rather than dinner…
  • stop the protein shakes, powders, bars, supplements if you are taking any remember, the easiest calories to burn are the ones you don't put in your mouth in the first place
