^^^ Unfortunately the damage to the tendon is in the center of the tendon and the specialist has told me there's not really much they can do to repair it...Only to make it more comfortable when I get older. I've been told that right now there's not enough of a problem really to need or consider surgery.

I did start on the weights yesterday in addition to the elliptical. I got over the boringness of it but I am a little concerned with my back. I was in a car accident a little over a month ago that left my back injuried (someone rear ended me and pushed me into another car)...Does anyone have any tips on what to do so I can…

Thanks everyone! I tried the machines today instead of free weights and those seemed to help a lot.

That thing about the sugars is just nuts...Fat stores are for long term energy and sugars are for short term...You need both...Of course if you over consume you'll just create more fat stores but it's about moderation. I kind of wondered when my boss did it "How are you going to act during the holidays when you're off the…

I'm glad someone brought this up...People have been hammering on me about eating under 1200 and scaring me into wondering if I'll gain because I don't hit that...

A few days ago my mom and dad hadn't seen me since I'd started MFP and noticed instantly (even though it's only been 4 pounds or so). It felt absolutely fantastic! I've gotten my mom to look into trying it and my dad as well.

Bananas! What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Great job you look AMAZING! Looking at your pictures was just the push I needed to get my butt to the gym today...Thanks!

Feel free to add me :) I can't RUN run because of my knees but I love the ellipticals and they're my main source of cardio.

No it doesn't make a difference. Eat when you're hungry. I usually eat very light during the day before my workouts in the afternoon (usually around 4 or 5 I go to the gym for an hour to two). When I get calories back I can eat pretty much whatever and still have a hard time reaching my calorie specifications. I haven't…

I loved yoga when I could afford the classes (boo college budget)...I know you can do the tapes and things but I've found its just not the same as having someone to physically reposition or alter your stance so you learn what's right. When I was going 3x a week it did help me tone up but more than that I felt an overall…

I like a little brown sugar and banana. So good.

20 and trying to get down to 125 :) Adopted some unhealthy habits in my first year of college that I'm trying to relearn. This is my first time on a diet but I'm logging in daily.
