In addition to an ice pack, have you tried using an ACE wrap or knee sleeve to help prevent the swelling in the first place?

One episode of an "hour" TV show (which is about 45 mins) if I'm at the gym OR however long it takes me to run/jog/walk 3 miles. Usually 3-4 times a week.

I use to like sports. Was a huge football fan. Now I work with team sports and the LAST thing I want to do on my day off is watch a football game. I don't know who's on what team, who beat who...many of my colleagues follow professional and college sports. They always want me to join in the conversation and see if I saw a…

I don't think Charlie has the clean, sophisocated look that I pictured Christian having. He's too rough and grizzly (not that ANYTHING is wrong with that! I love SOA)...Was hoping for Matt Bomer.

I have about five different ones scattered throughout the house, all non-scented...except my Hemps, which has a light scent, and I love the feel of it!

I force myself to run twice a week (between 1-3 miles because I hate it), I do a lot of yoga and biking...and right after I run I can never touch my toes. I always foam roll or spend some extra time stretching after I run.

You bet!

I don't log Saturday or Sunday. It's a mental break. But, I'm still actively losing weight, so I feel motivated to at least log everything during the week when I'm on more of a schedule.

Biking is one of my favorite favorite things to do, ever!! I noticed more changes in my body when I started biking to the gym (as opposed to driving to it to stationary bike). Good luck to you! Once you get past "biker butt" you'll want to just keep going!

Nothing happens when I click the link. :( I just get the Search Groups page. I'm planning on doing yoga every day this month for National Yoga Month...though it may only be a few minutes.

Headstand!! ...slowly getting more successful.

I run and do yoga, but for most of my strength exercises I have a 15# kettlebell, a TRX, and excessive body weight. I feel like no matter how strong my legs feel after doing a round of lunges and squats they are jelly!! Lots of plank work for core and a good diet.

I've never had cous cous. But I have made quinoa. It kind of a nutty tasting rice. I don't make it very often but when I do I have to put stuff with it. It's also pretty filling, you don't need much.

I just bought a pair of Athleta Bettona Boyfriend jeggings...just ordered a second pair in Sangria!!! I love them! I wear my black ones with looser, longer tops...but not super baggy. I am 5'10" and am 220... a 16/18 in regular jeans. The jeggings I bought are XL Tall. Can't wait for this heat wave to end so I can wear…

Been working on Blue Highways for a long time...I might have to give it up. Also reading Breeders by Matt Beier. Inferno by Dan Brown is is on deck.

I have been anemic all my life...doesn't matter what I eat. I'm not low enough for them not to take my blood when I donate, but it's still below the normal. I've downed a bag of spinach before an appointment and it hasn't made a difference, probably doesn't help that I don't eat a lot of red meat. Although doc said any…

I started on flat but got clipless about a year ago. I still haven't adjusted and find myself unclipping often. But I'm doing better each time and steep hills aren't quite as difficult. (I am a super beginner as there are no real beginner trails where I live, so I'm still walking a lot.)

Doesn't matter...but I have to do it under because otherwise my cat will unroll the whole thing.

Though I didn't use Isagenix, I did use Advocare's 24-Day Challenge to get me going in the right direction. It forced me to change not only what I was eating, but the way I ate. I still take Advocare supplements because I like the way I feel on them. I don't crash at 2pm, I have more productive energy, etc. Isagenix is…

I don't like Fish pose.. it's awkward and bothers my low back. I am currently enjoying getting better at crow and headstand. I also really like twisting poses and hip openers.

Everyone AT the 5k will be supporting you!! Every race I've done there have been so many people on the sidelines cheering the runners on. I once signed up for a trail run, because it was benefitting a program I love, but didn't know the trail nor do I trail run much. That morning it was snowing/raining (it was in…

Do it!!! A spontaneous 5k a few years ago is what stated getting me focused on getting healthy. 3 miles was a lot further than I thought!! I do the same one every year and compare my times! They are a great way to push yourself a little harder...walk a little faster... I still can jog/run a whole 5k...but each year I…

Each time I attempt to lose weight, people start to notice at the 20 pound mark (I'm 5'10" and my heaviest was 260, recent lightest 214, current 224, goal 170). But I also wear more fitted clothes (always have, yoga pants, etc since I work with high school athletes). I lose a lot of "weight" in my face first...so I think…

I do a lot of walking for work and some jogging (I work at athletic events and am constantly going back and forth between fields). I don't log any of it. I only log planned "exercise."

My goal pose for the end of the year is...was(?)... headstand. I got up into it today, didn't touch the wall at all, really pushed and straightened with my shoulders, and I stayed in easily for ten breaths. I actually came down after ten because I started feeling that freakout moment building up. Ahhh!!! So excited. I am…

I got 11/13...but one of the ones I got wrong I wanted to go back and change. The other one I got wrong I flat out didn't know.

Drink lots of water and get a good fiber intake... keeps yourself running smoothly in new locations. I watch what I eat when on vacation, but I eat what I want.

I'm in northern WI... I wear capris 99% of the time. I have many pairs, all slightly different. My most favorite pair I got at Old Navy for $2. It's 85% Polyester, 15% Spandex. My second favorite pair is from Athleta. It's a 2-in-1, so it has a skirt attached. Again, mostly polyester with some nylon/spandex blends. I do…

Drug free since I was born (never even tried a cig). But not "sober".... I am not really a drinker, maybe two drinks a month. But I did give it ALL up for a year. Now just a glass of wine on some occasions. Never really had a taste for alcohol though.
