After 6 months of pain I finally went to an orthopedist. He diagnosed me with a classic case of "runner's knee", prescribed physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the patella, and told me it would be months, rather than week. No impact exercise: no sports, no running, no treadmill. UGH!

Wow... a good thing to try if I get desperate... great discipline!

7(MY miles) + 98.15 (Previous TEAM TWO miles) = 105.15 (New TEAM TWO miles) Elliptical work - more tomorrow...

Why the heck not? Those are quality miles! Congrats!

7 more miles on elliptical... 7 (MY miles) + 89.15 (Previous TEAM TWO miles) = 96.15 (New TEAM TWO miles) 2 person total... need a new team member!

Moving right along... SW:211 CW:205 Back to the gym!

You're in the wrong thread. Check the closed group.

2 (MY miles) + 87.15 (Previous TEAM TWO miles) = 89.15 (New TEAM TWO miles) 2 miles elliptical (after spinning!) I'll do more tomorrow...

7 (MY miles) + 69.29(Previous TEAM TWO miles) = 76.29 (New TEAM TWO miles) Wish I could log my spinning - can't do elliptical every day, and my knee is not up to running yet. I think we DO need a new member... who is the no-show?

40 and I need an *kitten* kicking!

7 (MY miles) + 57.75(Previous TEAM TWO miles) = 62.75 (New TEAM TWO miles) Not bad for a two person total...

Where's our other teammate?!?

207 this morning - fighting the good fight!

Logging my week on the elliptical. I'm planning on a rest day, but it will take willpower! Back to work tomorrow. 24 (MY miles) + 28.75(Previous TEAM TWO miles) = 52.75 (New TEAM TWO miles) Go team 2!

Interesting article... but I find when I exercise a lot, I'm never hungry enough to eat back the entire deficit. The guy climbing the stairs and burning three calories can't possibly blame exercise on his hunger. I think the best solution is vigorous enough exercise that doesn't sap your energy for the rest of the day (so…

Ugh... looks like only elliptical for me. Went to the doctor today, and I have "jumper's knee". Recovery is in terms of months, rather than weeks. No running, treadmill, etc.

Sounds good, I'm in! I would like to hit 170 by then...

It's true, go to bed early! You'll feel better, be able to have a big healthy breakfast to get the day started right (because you'll get up earlier!) Limit that mindless televisions watching. I've heard that one of the keys to a happy life is in bed by 8:30 and up by 5:00. I'm finding myself getting a lot more done. Also,…

CW 211.4 Go team Cara!

I'll play! Love the elliptical (5 miles tonight), but I'm hopeful to try real running when the weather finally improves, and that will really test me...

Any team for me! CW 211

I'm up for it! My starting weight was 211.8 on Saturday. My goal is 165.

Yes! 45 pounds for me. I am planning to hit the gym every day. Would love to talk challenges, goals, etc!

Been working out and watching calories for a week... nothing yet! 211.8, hoping to find 165 sometime this year...

I'm definitely up for the challenge...
