Painful heels
Hi All, Ever since I did the Jilian Michaels 30 day shred, my heels are killing me, especially the right one. No physician is giving me anything but asking me to rest and put my feet up or put them in hot water. It's getting painful to walk. Any suggestions? I had visited an orthopedist a few months back for the same…

PowerFit and Other Vibration Exercise Machines
Has anyone tried PowerFit or other Vibration Exercise machines? I just saw the ad and they seem great. Do these machines really burn so many calories in less time without the person even breaking into a sweat? Am I missing something?

Losing weight using MFP when not overweight
Hello All, Need some advice. I lost nearly 6 kgs using MFP. Now my BMI is 25.2, only teeny tiny still in overweight category. I need to bring my weight down, especially as I suffer from hypertension. (Dr's orders) MFP requires me to eat atleast 1200 calories and says that my weight loss would be 0.3 kg/week, which I think…

Losing weight around your midriff after a C-section
I gave birth 3 years back and always held onto the belief that no matter what I did, my grotesquely expanded, lumpy stomach wasn't going away as I had a C-section. As a result, I waited for 3 years for the weight to "drop off" as it does for some women. Unfortunately, nothing happened and it only reinforced my belief that…

Knee Pain :(

After long periods of inactivity like sleeping in the night, the knee joint gets really stiff and pains me when stretching my legs. It seems more like a joint pain than muscle pain. I am not sure what I did to cause it but I also…

Psychological block at 63 kgs :(
Ugh, since last week I haven't lost even a bit. In fact, I was 63.1 kg last week and I am 63.4 today! :( Ugh, I hate myself for falling off the wagon. I go to the gym regularly though and on the days I missed I go for an atleast 30-40 min walk. (I skipped Sunday.) I think my issue is that everytime I try to lose weight,…

Personal Trainer - Yay or Nay?
Hi, One more slightly polarizing topic for all you fitness fans. I am working out in the gym (strength training) for 3 days a week and do cardio(aerobics) for 3 days. My gym has given me a nice chart which details which exercises I should do in what order. Also, there are trainers around which let you know if we are doing…

Losing steam while calorie counting
Hi, I have been logging on this site for 20+ days now. Unfortunately, I am losing steam and plain bored of thinking of what goes in my mouth. My eating out is at minimum and even if I do eat out, I am calorie-conscious. Not that this is a bad thing, but I am missing the good old days where I ate whatever I wanted when…

Feeling low late afternoon
Hello All, This is my first post here. I want to lose 12 kgs and I started my journey just last week. I joined a gym and workout religiously and log what I eat. I am usually under my calories goal by 100 or so everyday. It's going great so far. Exercise keeps me really happy and I'm pumped up at the beginning of each day.…
