Alcohol and Weight Loss
I've been here long enough to know that the prevailing belief is calories in vs calories out. I've read many a thread stating that as long as factor alcohol into your calories in and they are less than your calories out, you will still be in a deficit and will still lose weight. My question is, since alcohol is processed…

Advice on C25k
A brief history: I tried C25k earlier this year and got terrible shin splints to the point that I had to stop (I could barely walk). I decided to do cardio on the elliptical and try C25k again when I lost some weight and maybe shin splints wouldn't be as much of an issue. I got to the point that i could "jog" steady state…

6 Week Fitness Challenge
After 6 months into my journey of weight loss, my gym started a 6 week fitness challenge. I decided to up my game to see what I could do. I was at a non-linear 1.5-2lb per week loss when I started. I just did the final weigh in this morning and I lost 25.2lbs in 6 weeks for a total of 66.5lbs since March. I'm far from goal…

Dull Headache
The past week or so, I wake up in the night with a dull headache and go back to sleep. It has been going away in the mornings, but the past few mornings it is staying with me. I've also been waking up pretty hungry in the morning and feel that they might be related. Any ideas on what may be causing this?
