Hi! I just wanted to let you know that its commendable trying to work through what your going through. I have depression and some days are not the best. I'm no longer on medication but I've found that exercise has become my saving grace. For depression exercise has been found to be very therapeutic it may be the same in…

Good job to everyone!!! I'm starting week 3 take advantage of week 1 and 2 :)

Hi! Congrats on the wedding. I actually started already finishing up week 2 this week. I'll be starting week 3 on Monday. To be honest I'm a little scared (kidding, well...maybe just a little bit LOL) She continously gives good motivation. I hate when she says "if these guys can do it, you can do it". ALL of them are in…

Hi, was the doctor you saw your primary? Maybe you should see an Orthopedic specialist. Preferably one that specializes in Sports Medicine. When it comes to medical advice MFP may not be the best place, though I'm sure there are many people here in the medical field (myself included). Hope you feel better soon.

New Rules of Lifting for Women is good ( there is a group here and its based on the book with the same name). There are alot of people that is doing this program. I heard Stronglifts 5x5 is good too.

I have it, but I havent tried it. Which workout did you do?

Well, when I did my baseline including the warm up, I think I burned like 600-630 cal. I would have to go back in my HRM to see the actual burn. Edit - I burned 613 cal. Baseline: 500m row 40 squats 30 situps 20 pushups 10 ring pullups

I Got Mine by The Black Keys first song in my playlist! I go ape on this song!

Hey, first of all I'm glad your alive! I experienced a DVT and a bilateral PE, heck thank God I'm alive. Anyways, I know the pain your experiencing, almost like a reminder pain in your calf or in the leg you had the DVT. I work in the medical field in urgent care so I agree with the other poster to check with your doctor.…

Good for you I just did W1D1 yesterday, I just found an app called Songza. Its pretty awesome, and best thing is there is no annoying commercials.

Awesome!!! Good for you, I start W1D1 today. I've started about twice never finished, but I;'m determined this time to finish the whole program. I'm rooting for you!

I'm gonna start today, I tried to do it last year. I actually get off at noon today, so this will be perfect :)

I haven't had any problems with my knees, but then again I don't have knee problems. But alot the movements for instance the Russian swing, you do bend your knees with a neutral back parallel to the floor, as if your sittng in a chair the kb is 3-6 inches in front of you, you hike it back between your legs. You then press…

Just remember that proper form is everything, you can do damage if you don't :( You can learn from a DVD but there is nothing better than getting trained by someone who is RKC certified. I'm actually reading a book by Jeff Martone called Kettlebell Rx. He's a renowned instructor and his book shows you how to perform many…

Thanks everybody for the words of encouragement, I'm a sentimental person and I'll probably be tearing up as I cross the finish line! Who would have thought I'd get into races? LOL

You may need to eat a little something, nothing heavy before you work out. That happened to me after I did a KB workout. I just ate a sugar free popsicle after my workout and I was fine :)

That's what I had to do. Nothing wrong with that :)

Well my sister was recently dx with flat feet and she wears orthotics in her shoes.

I can only speak for what I have, its the Polar FT60. I got it off of Amazon I believe, there are 3 programs that you can choose, weight loss, improve fitness and maximize fitness. It will have you do at fitness test, you basically have to lie down at a relaxed state (usually when you just wake up) and it check your…

I'd like to join as well, please.

I've been fairly ample all my life ever since I started puberty, so to lose weight in my girls, I'm happy. It's funny those who don't have want. and those who have don't want.

Congrats!!! Feels good doesnt it!!! Go you!!!

Well speaking from my experience, ever since I bought my HR Monitor (Polar FT60) the machines under estimated my calorie burn. One workout showed 130 calories more burned from my HR monitor than what it showed on the machine. So its kind of hard to say what the estimated burn on the machine is. Even still a HR monitor may…

That's sounds really doable :) I'm going to try both suggestions mentioned, thanks
