Nervous About Increased Calorie Budget
Since October 2021, I've lost nearly 25 pounds. Two of those pounds were lost in the last week. I read here a lot and I suspect I'm not eating enough even though I don't ever feel starved. I only have 15ish pounds to go, so this morning, I upped my calories by 100 because I'd rather be losing between 1/2 and 3/4 of a pound…

I remember many of the individual exercises…

Feet Fall Asleep -- To the Point of Pain
I saw a few old posts on this, but want to know if there is any fresh information. Whether I am walking, doing a general workout (ropes, lunges, etc.), or doing the elliptical, my feet fall asleep. No, not just a little tingly and annoying. Dead to the world and painful. It is more the right foot than the left. On a 3 mile…
