Exercises to do while treating shin splints?
Hi all! I am an overpronater, (is that how you spell that?) and I am prone to shin splints. I had my first 5k the past weekend and I overdid it, but I expected that much. Anyways, I'm taking advil to help with inflammation, but I've read that I don't need to stop exercising. So, I'm wondering, what kind of exercises can I…

Let's Hear those 5K Times--
Runners! Beginners, C25K'ers, vets, let's hear those 5K times. I measured a 5K route and did C25K W4D1 today, with a finish time of 39:23 (that's including a 10 minute warm up brisk walk too). As I'm a beginner, I have no idea if that's good, bad or ugly, so how's everyone else's time?

Compression Socks?

Last 10 Pounds Boredom
I'm in (or I was in) my last 10 pounds, I was coming in under my calories, doing the JM shred every night, and I don't know what happened. The scale stopped moving and I got depressed and defeated. I have since put 3 pounds back on. I try to get back into the swing of things every morning, but by 3 or 4 pm, I develop this…

Hypoglycemia?
G'morning everyone! Yesterday, I started my day with 3 hardboiled egg whites, a slice of whole wheat toast with raspberry jam, 2 cups of juice (made with crystal light), and a coffee with a splash of skim milk, and 1 tbsp of sugar.

Upping Protein without Upping Calories (too much)

Having a "what's the difference" day
I'm having a slow few days, I fell off the wagon over the weekend, but I didn't pig out, just didn't count calories or do my workout. And I'm having such a hard time getting back into it! My goal weight is 135lbs, and I'm trying to get there by Match 19th. There is a Holstein Breeders banquet that my husband and I are…

Start up Suggestions for an Exercise Newbie
Hey! I started at 153lbs, but I ate a lot of junk and pop. I told myself that I would drop the first 8 pounds with calorie counting, and that when I got down to 145lbs, that I would start a cardio routine to help shed the dreaded last 20 pounds! Buuut, I'm a stay at home mom, and my husband takes our car to work (12 hour…
