When I had issues with my knees while running, my PT said I needed to strengthen the muscles around the knee; especially the hamstrings, and inner and outer thigh. Women also need to pay special attention to the iliotibial band (the tendon that connects the inner knee to the outer hip) - lots of stretching for that. You…

AMAZING!!! So happy for you - enjoy those abs!!!

I agree with ryzola... I know also that our partners & others can be really threatened when we make life changes. Their not sure what it means for them, if we're gonna force them to eat things they don't want to, if we're going to (as my mother once put it) "leave them in the dust." Tell him what you need, be specific…

Totally sounds like your dinner might have done you in! Fast food is hard on your body, especially if you're used to eating better. Add that to a lot of jumping around and up and down? I'm surprised you didn't barf on the floor!

Endurance certainly takes time, and some stuff will be easier for you than others. That said, a checkup couldn't hurt. I have exercise-induced asthma that makes it super hard to breath when doing cardio. I have an inhaler - as long as I use it 20 mins before a workout, things are much, much better. I had croup and…

You've hit on the #1 reason I don't take too much stock in numbers! Not only do they fluctuate throughout the day, but scales aren't always prefect. I have a range in mind for my goal - right now it's pretty broad, somewhere between 115 and 130 (I'm 5'1"). As I get closer to my goal (130 is 55 lbs away), I'll refine the…
