I get this sometimes when I am running, usually during the first 15 minutes. If I slow down and walk for 10 minutes it goes away. I stretch before and after the gym. Mine is right above the achilles tendon. I'm curious to know what it is, as well!

Yup, I drink pop. 8-12 ounces with dinner or as a snack about 3-4 times a week. I also drink Coke Zero when I want caffeine and something to mindlessly drink at work. I never liked diet pop, but it is starting to grow on me. I really like carbonation in my drinks so I also drink club soda with fruit or even by itself to…

I feel you, mine gets bronze-y when I wash it too much. I have a purple shampoo I use to keep the bronze away and have my hair dresser put more toner in it in between root touch ups. I use only conditioner in between washes. There are shampoos you can use to help keep the red color, they have a slight red tint in them. A…

Laser cut panties, long shirt

Oh, yes, smaller plate too. I never eat on full size plate at home anymore.

smaller portions

I started with C25K (couch to 5k app, it's free), finished that and now I run for fun/relieve stress and lift weights about 2-3 days a week. I also walk on steep incline on the treadmill or up hills when I don't run.

I eat mine with rice, veggies, and hot sauce.

I just saw an online ad about it and was wondering how good it tastes. Will definitely get some next time I happen to be at Whole Foods.

Eat what you normally eat but less of it. That simple! :) As for the rice question...you have to look at a diet in whole, not only one piece. They don't eat as much of it as us, they probably also get more exercise than us in general. There are so many variables in other countries' diets, you can't pin point it on one…

OP, I understand how you feel. My boyfriend, who I live with, bought me candy, soda, pizza, everything that will send me over the edge calorie wise. He bought them because he loves me and knows I cannot survive without treats. I smile, nod, and stick the chocolate in my sock drawer for later. Everything else I say "thank…

I was at the gym the other day on the treadmill. I'm in no way "in shape" yet, but I have been running fairly well. I run for 15 minutes, high incline for a couple, back to running. There was a beginner next to me, obviously looking at me, copying everything I was doing! :D I never thought anyone would look to ME for…

Lactose intolerant :( I'll still eat if I don't have plans or not at work because I LOVE dairy. Since I haven't been eating it everyday I can definitely tell the difference in how my stomach feels. Hard cheeses don't bother me as much as milk or ice cream.

I like savory so I eat mine with oatmeal/cajun seasonings/pan fried portabello mushrooms. Or you can make sweet oatmeal with it and add slightly frozen fruit. Graham crackers on the bottom, yogurt in the middle, sliced, very lightly pan fried bananas on top, tastes like a banana pie. You can add some cinnamon to the…

Invest in a lunch box with a reusable ice pack. Both can be found at a dollar store. You can even fill a baggie with ice cubes or I use my cold can of club soda to chill. Peanut butter and jelly/honey sandwiches are my fallback when I'm tight on cash. $2 loaf of bread, $4 peanut butter, and $3 jelly, lasts the entire week…

If you live in a large city there are private companies that do the same but with better quality food.

Yup, agree with the above. I had the same problem until one day I had a song that was fast beat and haven't heard in forever come on. Kept going for at least another half mile. All because I was mentally stimulated. Don't let your mind quit before your body does! If being out of breath is your only problem, that will pass.…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1mSYgGN45c Yup, this will change your life! :P Use this in the future. It will help both with blisters on your heels and keep your entire foot from sliding around in your shoes causing other problems. TIP: Make sure when you tighten, after making the loops (@1:35 minutes in the video), to…

my boyfriend will love this! Gonna make a buffalo chicken pizza with it, yum.

Nutra system is a company that weighs your food and counts calories so you don't have to do it. Nothing special. You can do the same with MFP app, eat food you actually like, and learn how to keep the weight off long term. Save your money for new clothes and use MFP instead :)

Wine, Netflix, burrito.. in that order for me. When I have really bad cramps I don't go to the gym. I make sure I go back right when they are dull or gone. You can try a heat wrap walgreens.com/store/c/thermacare-heatwraps/ID=prod6003654-product

Eggs - weigh only egg white and yolk. Bananas - without peel Chicken drumsticks - weigh your drumsticks before eating, cooked, then weigh bones after eating. Subtract weight of full drumstick from bones to get the weight of the meat. There are entries on myfitnesspal with cooked drumstick meat. Usually you would weigh meat…

Same here. I love comfort foods like chili and biscuits n gravy so that doesn't help either. Last winter I tried to make comfort foods less calorie dense as possible. Holiday leftovers are tough too, my family always tries to get me to take a bunch home. Also, pumpkin spice and cream cheese everything!!! My downfall with…

I pick rewards as I go! For example, I've been running for several months now. When I hit the mile mark, I NEVER ran a mile in my life, I bought new headphones because that's what I really wanted and needed at the time. Not just any brand, I bought a really nice pair that will last longer and better sound quality. You'll…

Hey, my feed as been kinda of weak lately from people going MIA. Been on here for a year now, barely skip a day of logging, and like to comment. Added you

I bought the cutest, stretchy, workout tank top a couple years ago. I've only been able to wear it a couple times when I previously lost a bunch of weight. Now I'm losing inches, but not nearly the same on the scale...tried it on a whim, not expecting it to fit at all. Miraculously, it fits even better this time! Can't…

Hey Naomi, as former waitress I can tell you that is enough exercise in itself to help lose weight if you watch what you eat also. Yup! People who put in the time to go to college and educate our children are treated like the bottom of the food chain. It really is sad and needs to change.

The teriyaki chicken has become one of my go-tos for fast food/work lunches. You can find a lot of articles, if you google it, about the quality of their food and trained cooks. The cooks even have Q&As about how they prepare the food and how it is shipped to the store. Yup, I can definitely fit it in! Although it has…

I barely have those armpit, fat things anymore...woo! So nice to be able to wear tank tops. My butt shrank but is still a nice shape, thank goodness :D
