  • I am in the same boat. I am horrible with self-sabotaging. I had a nutritionist look at my food diary and first thing she said was I wasn't getting enough to eat in the mornings. Even as I work on changing my diet, I still self-sabotage. It's a real thing, sometimes I think it is because of my food addiction and sometimes…
  • If your muscle is "creaking" you probably have anterior tib tendinitis. Rest and a compression sleeve helped me greatly.
  • Have someone take a picture of your in your plank. This way you can take a look at your form and see what you may be doing wrong. A lot of time, your muscles are not use to being used, and it takes a bit to get them to the strength you need. Don't quit, you got it. You may need to find a regression on the planks (your…
  • Talk to your personal trainer and ask her if she why. Walking is a form of transportation and if you are inactive, you need to be eased into. Trust your trainer, and talk to them. This is coming from a personal trainer. There may be a reason why she doesn't want you to work out (I do wonder). You can also go to the gym and…
  • Wait until the new ones come out. There are suppose to be two waves of new ones- a replacement of the Force and then a "Daddy" of trackers, that combine the Force with a GPS tracker.
  • I have plantar fasciitis, and mine was caused by 1-being greatly overweight and 2- wearing horrible shoes with no support for my arches. It will still flare up, but not nearly as bad as when I was wearing shoes without support. If your Dr is recommending you to see a Orthro, I would recommend going. The orthro is more…
  • People will be signing up until the last minute. Your time is actually great! Most people average between 45-55 minutes in the "fun runs." You have nothing to worry about. :)
  • Being both a spin and Group Ride instructor, I tend to like Group Ride better. That program is made for an intense workout and you know what you are walking into. Spin you never know, every instructor is different and every ride is different. Group Ride can be as hard as you want.
  • From a former Dorm Dweller and University Cafeteria worker, I can tell you from experience to send your thoughts and concerns to the people in charge of the dining services. They do make choice and change things based on what the students want. In fact where I use to attend, has since completely changed their cafeterias…
  • Is your strength going up? A lot of times, you are building muscle-which is a good thing, but you may not see what you want to see on the scale. Wait a few weeks, make sure you are tracking everything you eat, hopefully you will start seeing a difference at the scale. I was going through the same issues when I started…
  • Actually Weight Watchers is based on carbs, dietary fiber, protein, and fat. They no longer calculate calories. I use both Weight Watchers and MyFitnessPal to keep myself in check. I personally love going to the meetings and making friends that understand your struggles and are constantly giving you new ideas.
