Yep only when doing dips. I did standing tricep extensions yesterday in place of dips...I'll try seated next time. :-)

Jacksonville, FL

Thank you! The pain isn't crazy unbearable...but its to the point where I focus on the pain more than the reps...if that makes sense? Any ideas on what to substitue in for dips? I've been doing this pyramid of exercises every other day (I do a legs one on the other days) and I'd like to stick to it...I just don't know what…

Got a few questions... Shin splints - I get them whether I run or walk (quicker when I run though). I don't understand why I constantly get them...I've Googled around and done some stretching beforehand, used heating pads / ice, etc...pretty much any suggestions I could find, I used. Any tips on how to avoid them? Am I…

Never heard of it...

I should only weigh myself once a week...but typically I do it daily. I only count weigh-ins on Mondays though (so once a week).

LOVE cottage cheese! I eat it straight...just like ice cream. I'll also add it to a salad. Not a fan of mixing it with fruit...

Mine is me...sweat and all. :smile:

Hi everyone. Just joined the group. I'm not yet a wife, but will be in November. My fiance is currently stationed at Mayport in Jacksonville, FL. We're going through our second deployment together (his third total) and it ends this month! :happy: I just turned 26 last month...joined MyFitnessPal a few months ago, but…

Just wanted to give this a bump...any tips are definitely appreciated! :smile:

Female 26 5'4 Starting weight 184 Start date January 1, 2012 (this is not exact...been a little sporadic) Current weight 174.4 1st goal 160 2nd goal 135

Half my body weight in ounces, but I round up...so it comes to 11 glasses.

I feel like such a noob...how so much trouble posting a pic correctly. :blushing:

I recommend RunStar if you run.

Fixed my name for ya! :laugh: Thanks...I know 10 pounds is awesome...I just know I could be down a lot more by now if I did what I was supposed to!

What branch is he in? My fiance is Navy.

I personally prefer being tan over not, but I realize there are risks involved. For me, its my 'reward' after going to the gym. If I go to the gym, I allow myself to tan...any day I don't go to the gym, I don't get to tan.
