  • Also, I've had the same kind of numbness quite a few times, except it has been exclusively on elliptical trainers. Medical student here. Disclaimer: this is not official medical advice. Idea 1 is always the shoelaces, but I knew that wasn't it. I haven't tried to pinpoint the problem because it's been a few years since…
    in toe numbness?? Comment by PoohAA July 2012
  • Likewise, and everyone should add me too :) I don't anticipate losing *weight* any time soon, but I ought to be losing fat and gaining muscle. I'm getting myself back into what I've done in the past to lose weight (which worked): Running, lifting, and most importantly, discipline. I've gotten off track several times, but…

The health benefits from weight loss are incredible. That said,…

    in Add me! Comment by PoohAA December 2011
  • Nope! That's like asking if the only thing that really matters is calories. I'd say there's a lot more at stake than just calories. It's best to consider what kinds of calories they are, and the other contents of the food, such as cholesterol, fiber, vitamins and minerals, etc.
    in Can I eat whatever I want as long as I stay under my calorie Comment by PoohAA December 2011
  • Disclaimer: I'm studying to be a doctor, but I can't say I'm all the way there yet. The general belief is that, at least with respect to your arteries, what has been building up doesn't go away. However, cholesterol is constantly in flux, and you can decrease the rate at which plaques grow. What you eat is the biggest…
