That is so hilarious. I had the same experience a few years back. I did one of my Firm dvd's and wanted a bit more so I popped in my Windsor Pilates dvd that I purchased but never uses. I don't think I made it 15 minutes.

I'm sure it's been said. Go to a running store for a Gait Analysis. I had the same issue until I got analyzed and fitted to wear a stability running shoe. Since doing so, I haven't experienced shin splints in the two years I've been running.

I am on week 3. I am extremely consistent with my workouts having missed only one Stretch workout in week 1. I am eating clean most of the time. I have lost 6 pounds but no measurable loss in inches although my family and I notice changes in my body. My 14 year son is a bit overweight and doing it as well. He didn't weigh…

I did the first workout today as well. Good luck!

She asked for advice in cutting out meat, not all the comments on why she shouldn't. She is a grown woman who made a CHOICE to cut out meat. If you don't agree with it her that's your CHOICE. Maybe some of you are trying to help but if you don't have the advice she is asking for, why comment? If she wants to research and…

I'll be 42 on the 19th! Add me as well.

It happens when you exercise in the warmer weather. It scared me when I started running last year. I researched and found it's nothing to worry about and it disappears once you go inside and "cool down".

I believe lifting weights while focusing on particular body parts will help you achieve the more asymmetrical look you wish for.It sounds like working more on your lower half will achieve this. Have faith. I have seen it done on individuals with your shape, especially if you look at some fitness magazines. You can't change…

Oops, I forgot to add: 7/2 3.0 mile run

I'd like to join. My goal for this month is 50 miles. If I stick to my training plan I should make it!

Here are some ideas I have used in the past: #1 Drink a glass first thing in the morning when you wake up #2 Drink a glass before each meal #3 Buy a 64oz container, fill up in the am and drink from it all day. #4 Make sure you fill your water quota before drinking any other beverage like juice or soda #5 Tea counts so…

I agree bad information. Perhaps they are referring to competitive racing. If you are fit enough, you can do a 5k. I did my first 5k 6weeks into Couch to 5k training. I ran/ walked it and got it done.

I haven't experienced pain but I would suggest if you have not done so, visit a running store and get a gait/foot analysis. You may be wearing the run type of shoe. I used to have horrible shin splits until I did this and got the right shoe. I have not experienced shin splints since. Above all else, always listen to your…

I do not stretch before running. I too did research on this when I started running about ten months ago. Muscles should be wamed up before stretching and if you did it before running that is not the case. Listen to your body and do what you feel is best. Good luck.

Same here. I struggle to lose weight. I am hovering just about 200. Would love to see 199 by 12/25!

South Beach Diet is not an actual diet if used as intended. It is a lifestyle change in which you consume lean meat, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. The name and how people use South Beach is misleading because the word"diet" doesn't meant the restriction of calories for weight loss but to define the foods and drinks…

I had a similar issue with another program. I read something really technical but it had to do with the muscle tearing that happens when you strength train and those muscles retaining water. I was sore all the time but I guess my body got used to it. I noticed the moment the soreness went away the weight dropped.

I would recommend you go to a local running store and get your feet and gait analyzed. They will let you know what type of shoe works best for you and this analysis should be free. I had issues with shin splints until I got analyzed and found out I overpronate and needed a mod stability running shoe. I have run over 400…

Hi. I began running in January. I started with Couch to 5k aka C25k. Cool Running has the 9 week program online but there are various apps you can use on your Apple or Android phone. It's a 9 week walk/run program that gradually gets you to the point where you can run a half hour without stopping. I did my first 5k about…

FRENCH FRIES. I love you!

My sister (RIP 9/11/10) and my brother (RIP 9/6/90). I miss them dearly.

I use it in my oatmeal and smoothies. I know others who use it in their cereals. Some people may not like it because it's thin but I personally don't like thick milk (whole milk eck!). I am a skim milk user regularly so the thinnest doesn't bother me.

I almost forgot. I found this recipe in Oxygen Magazine I have been dying to try: Protein-Packed Pina Colada 1c lowfat cottage cheese 1c crushed pinepple, drained or 1c pineapple juice 1/2 frozen banana 1/2c skim milk 1 tbsp shredded coconut 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder 1c ice cubes Place all ingredients in a…

I eat mine with fresh chopped fruit (Berries, pineapple and grapes) and flax seed on top, sometimes chopped walnuts too. I place the fruit and cottage cheese on Wasa crackers if I have them. I also use it in some recipes that called for ricotta cheese due to the less fat and calories.

I want to learn to eat clean so badly. I think my best bet is to start with small weekly goals and build up. My family is not very supportive of clean eating. This is my first time looking into this group and will gladly be supportive to others with the goal of clean eating.

Unbelievable. It was a blessing in disguise. You don't need people like that in your life. You were lucky she took away her friendship. With friends like that, you don't need enemies!

You had me at Bradley. lol. Lord that man is hot!

My two ultimates: Eldris Elba and Bradley Cooper. Yummy times 2! Both are hot. Eldris has the sexy british voice and Bradley speaks french and it is soooo sexy!
