Heck ya if I had the money. I'm not talkin' lipo, just some extra skin removal do to the two extra large babies my body produced. 9+ & 10+lbs. I'm working seriously hard to lose the fat and get strong, but I unfortunately do not have the genes that allow ones body to bounce back without stretch marks. Don't know about the…

urg, I'm still waiting for my DVD to show up. Did get out and walk/run 2 1/2 miles today.

Ha-Ha still trying to figure this forum stuff out. Anyway I work armed security and it's a new job requirement and I'm only being told sometime in October. No specifics as to exact date yet only that it's 1.5 miles in 17.5 min and 19 pushups in 2 min. Ugg. I am 4o and have sat at a desk for the last 11 1/2 years doing this…

The pain I have is located at the bottom of my calf muscle (tendons?) and wraps/radiates around to the front interior side of my shin bone. Not regular shin splints, that muscle feels fine. I did see a doctor on Wed. and she only suggested ibuprofen, ice, and stretching...and on the side suggested I could go to a local SOS…

Thank you all for the suggestive tips. Thinking maybe I got the wrong shoes, I tried explaining my problem but it was a really young guy who had difficulty answering my questions like how should a properly fitted shoe feel on my foot. He was only concerned about bring out stability shoes for mild pronation and that it was…

I did go to a running store because of my previous issue, but they only checked my pronation by walking across the floor, not my gait, cadence or whatever else they could check and I did get new shoes and they're not cheap. Maybe I need to travel farther to find a store that would do that, unfortunately the nearest one I…

Lol, Sometimes I think proteins is all I eat. But still gotta throw in a few high fiber carbs and lots of green veggies. WILL NOT eat pastries, pasta, potatoes, or rice. It's been suggested I try quinoa, just haven't gotten to the store yet.

To Ben I don't think you need a hug. After reading your other posts, I think you need a pat on the back. Totally agree with your views.

aargg! :huh: I'm gonna have to do some research cause I totally don't understand how or why, by some of the accounts made here, I should be eating more. I don't want to eat more. I just finally made a mental break through and adopted a new self empowering life style and feel good about it. And as for lifting weights, I…

What timing, LOL. My trainer just yesterday told me, no pasta, no rice, get yourself some quinoa. By listening to you all it doesn't sound like it's going to be such a tough transition. I'm fairly new to MFP. Friend me if you'd like an extra fitness pal. :flowerforyou: Lavina

I'm new on here and need a challenge. so how do I get in? I can do other stuff too right? I need fitness pals, so send me an invite if i can play :flowerforyou: Lavina

LOL, I'm in a simalar boat! Been on here a couple weeks, lost 5 lbs (20 since I first started), and a husband who loves me but is slow to support. He's slowly getting there though, it's just taking me a bit to get that fire lit under his butt. He's mostly just holding back to learn more about his own back.

Good Morning, I'm fairly new to MFP. Haven't been here long but have found that this site is very helpful. I am also counting calories, carbs, and protein per my trainers instructions. He's an evil, evil man bent on helping me meet my goals, lol, but I always leave a session with a smile in my heart. Friend me if you'd…

Yep, I have the same problem and not just on the elliptical. And it always seems to start with my left foot 'ring' toe spreading to the ball of my foot. I've changed shoes, wiggled my toes and loosening my laces. It has helped some, but has not eleviated the problem entirely. It's not severe for me so I just keep plodding…

I'm in the exact same boat! Quit smoking 5 weeks ago this Thursday. I'd been gradually losing weight up until that time, but that stopped, which is part of the reason why I'm here also. Think it'll be a good place to get going again.
