Yup! My knee pain was unbearable and I had to scuba dive with it or fail a class. Two days later I went to my orthopedic surgeon and he sent me straight to get an MRI. I ended up with extra cartilage and a plica in my knee, which lead to tendonitis, but it wasn't going to get better. He gave me a cortisol shot to see if we…

I hate to say it, but if it doesn't get better you need to go see an orthopedist. Yeah, it's expensive. I went in thinking I could have a brace for running/it would heal on itself and came out needing an MRI and having an extra bone/tons of extra cartilage in my knee. If you actually rest it (as in NOTHING but walking.…

Everyone is right, please go see your OBGYN. My dad is an OBGYN and he regularly helps women lose weight because of infertility issues. While it is not uncommon for overweight women to skip periods, it is most definitely not healthy. And they should be able to help you with a diet plan/look for signs of issues in the…

Mine aren't going anywhere! My band size has gone down, but my cup hasn't. However, I feel like they're starting to look big compared to the rest of me! (I'm wearing a swimsuit in my prof haha you can't tell). Once I finish losing, we shall see!

Do something! Or allow yourself some calories for a light snack (air-popped popcorn, a glass of milk, etc)

Work out again! And heating pads if it's really bad. Or hot tub. Or a bubble bath :) Stretching also helps a lot.

I would advise sitting down with a nutritionist or a doctor. They should know how to help you work with your medications to help you eat healthy and the correct amount.

On December 14th I had knee surgery I couldn't walk until after Christmas and I was running 4 miles by the beginning of April. I know not everyone is the same, but you should be able to do it! Don't push yourself and if your joints hurt, don't be afraid to space out your workouts. Since I have knee problems I can't run…

What kinds do you use/suggest? I've looked at a few at the store and most of them have over 20. Granted, this hasn't been at stores known for fitness products. I also have to keep in mind allergies because I'm allergic to many synthesized or artificial products. Do you use whey or another kind? I feel so lost when I look…

It really depends where you live AND the time of year. I live in a farming community when at home and a college town when at school. Food is much less expensive at home because you can buy it straight from the farmers. Beef, eggs, veggies, etc that come directly from small farms. My dad's nurse brings farm fresh eggs (yes,…

This. Most doctors will even have a machine that measures your daily expenditure and therefore it can determine how many calories to eat.

I run 3-4 miles 3-4 days a week and lift 2 days a week. There's nothing wrong with doing both. I like lifting because it uses the muscles I don't during running and it's how I work out my arms. I'm going to start training for a half marathon, but I will probably keep lifting to keep working those muscles. I'm not trying to…

Try looking up ballet barre exercises. I danced for 13 years and nothing has ever compared to the exercises done at the barre. It's all strength and control. Plus, while you're working your legs, a lot of the time you're improving your balance and core.
