I have shin splints too and before and after exercise I use hot before and cold after. Depending on how bad they hurt I will alternate hot and cold. Also I agree with low impact exercises. Don't do any jumping or running untill you figure out something that helps. Also, it does get better with time. Or least mine does lol.

Thanks everyone. And I have seen so many doctors over the years. Including specialists. The only one I liked is a general MD. The second best would be the one that delivered me as a child and was the one who noticed that I had asthma. I had this doctor a few years ago tell me that it was all in my head and that he was…

Beeps2001: I do use my inhaler 15 minutes before my workout but once I'm passed my warm up I need after about 10 minutes. And I had a goal of going from 10 to 15 minutes in a two week span. Didn't happen. And now I am feeling very discouraged.

My doctor wont give me anything more. He thinks my asthma is getting to a point where its deadly no matter which way I go. I have tried Advair, Flovent, the stupid brown twist thing and many others including pills. I am now on Symbicort and its worked the best for me aside from Serevent which they only give when I get a…

Ah, I see. Thanks everyone. My starting weight was 185. And when I ran my meals through here I was eating 2300 cal of crap. Now I'm averaging 1300 of not-so-crappy food. I figured I'd be lucky if I lost anything just cuz I am still trying to get into eating healthier, cutting out junk.

Ok so no need to worry then?? Good, cuz for a minute there I thought I messed up somewhere...

Oh and stretching has always been a part of my morning routine. For the last 4 years. Have to due to my osteoarthritis.

See, I'm scared to take a day off. I just started again and have not even been able to keep my heart rate up for 20 minutes. Which was my goal for tomorrow. Not happening. Today I went as far as 10 with high impact cardio and I usually do 15. It just hurt :( And forget the weight training. I can hardly lift the coffee pot.…

It's not so much a size difference as a material/design difference. I have no idea what those sizes mean but I have the same problem. Try on a size ten, they fit nicely, next store I get depressed cuz all of a sudden I'm a size 11 or 12. It's lame, but normal. There pretty much is no way of avoiding this unless you stick…

Thank you to those of you who were an actual help. i.e suggesting brands and things to try, as opposed to arguing. I kinda like the fruit smoothie idea. As for the herbalife post, I do not buy things/send people money over the internet for any reason. I think I am going to try most of these until I find one I like. And…

you know you don't have to eat breakfast if you don't want to... [/quote] But everything of my food intelligence tells me that its important. I mean, right from day 1 your told that as a child...

I don't mean to have then everyday, just when I either do not have time for breakfast or have nothing that will fall into the 'healthy food' category.

Hm... See I was just looking at these Rexal brand meal replacement can things. for 255 calories I'm getting a minimum of 25% of the vitamins I need and twice as many protien than I normally get out of eating actual breakfast. Plus it's lactose free. I'm just scared to buy them and then find out they are terrible... I tried…

Ha ha! Thats what I am having for supper tonight. Found awesome recipe on here for banana pancakes :)

My problem is that I am not a breakfast person... I have my coffee that I refuse to give up but if I don't have something then I'm starving by 10am. As for the protein powders, what are they mixed with? Water or milk?

Oh! I love tuna :) But only with mayo and green onions... Yum! And only a little bit. I think the dolphin disagrees with my allergies XD

Whats albacore?

Oh ha ha! Ok that sounds awesome. Thanks :)

Wrap? Like with torrtilla wrap thingys? That sounds really good...

Shoot. also forgot to mention, I am allergic to sea food, I am loactose-intolerant although I can have a bit for milk by-products. and allergic to egg white alone. Like cant eat scrambled eggs or the hole egg for breakfast.

Thats perfect!! Thank you so much! So helpful!!!
