Try increasing your protein. This happened to me in college when I was living on Cheerios and skim milk. You also may want to have your Thyroid checked.

No such thing! Just make sure you drink plenty of fluids along with it.

Great idea...but I'm not so sure about used underwear! *Insert 'green' joke here* :laugh:

You don't need a sheet of paper or test results telling you if you love someone or not. You know your feelings, ignore the score!

I like the Land O Lakes fat free half and half. Also, try plain Almond Milk. So yummy!

This is the best advice I've EVER seen on these forums! :drinker:

Practice makes perfect! I used Suz's C25K program from kissmyblackass.org (and yes that's really the name!). It's a hip hop and pop mixture. Just keep it up-you will love it!

Eye Of The Tiger and Cake's Going The Distance! (But I may be a bit older than you! :grumble: )

Beware of anything with mixers. Try rum or bourbon mixed with a diet coke. Or my fave, bourbon on the rocks :drinker:

BUMP

Push ups and chest flies can strengthen your pecs...but I wish there were a magic exercise!

Both! Fajita salad is good. Hold the cheese!

I don't worry about the sugar in fruit, I just count it in my calories. I try to stay away from refined sugars, those are EVIL! Plus you get so many nutrients and fiber with the fruit, it kinda evens it out.

That's life! Move on-tomorrow is another day. Don't be so down on yourself, it will mess with your head! :ohwell:

Reminds me I need to donate!

Slow down! It's better to start slower and perfect your form and breathing. I agree-C25K is great!

I use ground bison exclusively. Tastes great and is LEAN.

Well said! I gave up arguing with people on here about eating back your exercise calories. It seems to be a very sensitive topic!

Try Miralax. It's over the counter now and great for people with chronic constipation. And it mixes in with whatever you are already drinking.

Yep! Genetics play a role in our metabolism for sure. Seems unfair, doesn't it? :cry:

Walk if you can but be careful for your clothes touching the painful areas. I feel so sorry for you! Shingles HURT and can last for months. :cry:

I'm sure this tastes great, but you gotta come up with a better name for it! :laugh:

BOSU! It's fun and a great ab workout.

It's well worth your time to get fitted at a specialty store. They can video you running and look at your old shoes for spots of wear, etc. Worth it! And now that I found my dream shoe I can order online next time. Just do it and your feet, shins, knees and hips will thank you! :flowerforyou:

Love it! That drives me crazy! :noway:

I'm a runner and I have used them as meal replacements in a pinch. They are good to have on hand. I mix mine with unsweet almond milk. Yum! Just be careful to get a low sugar one. Sometimes I only do half a scoop.

Stretch more! I got one of those foot rocker calf stretcher things (about $10 on Amazon) and it has made a tremendous difference!

It can get better with diet and exercise, depending on what kind of fat. Microsteatosis is better than macrosteatosis (basically little v big fat). This can be caused by obesity or underlying/previous diseases. And limit the booze! :drinker:

My motivation is getting it over with! I feel so good when I'm not spending all day dreading or avoiding it!
