Running and knee arthritis...
Long story short... I am a running who has done several 5ks, a 10K, a half, a warrior dash... this past summer I fell onto my left knee. Since then I have had pain with running. Went to a physcian in September and got written off as having runners knee. When I rested it a good bit of time and tried to run again and got the…

Back on track...
A little NSV for me today... yesterday I was at my class reunion and really went off plan (2 cupcakes amongst other things)... In my previous life I would continue the bad eating but because I am so encouraged by the success I have been having being low carb (over 6 pounds lost in 3 weeks), I go rightt back on that horse…

Induction results...
So I have officially finished the 2 week Atkin's induction for a total loss of 5 pounds. I think that is a good number for 2 weeks?? I know some have much greater losses but I only have about 15 that I wanted to lose anyway so a third of that seems good to me... Plus, it is the first time the scale has gone down in…

I am not going to lie...
I am craving carbs... almost done with induction and all I can think about is bread and swedish fish! I know I lost a couple pounds my first week of induction, holding off on getting on the scale yet this week. My husband says I am trimming down... so hopefully that keeps me motivated to stick with this. Who goes off the…

Hi Just joined this group!
Hi everyone, I am currently about 1.5 weeks in Atkins induction. Come to find out there is a whole new plan out there compared to the book I bought years ago but kind of following that to some degree. I think being low carb is a good plan for me as I believe I possibly have a gluten/wheat intolerance but boy am I missing…

Any low carbers/Atkins people here..
I am on my first week of Atkins. I have been at a standstill on the weight loss, in fact, have gained. So I am giving Atkins/low carb a shot. I have a couple of questions if anyone can help me... I tried using the Atkins app for logging food and even their website but I found it extremely difficult to use, especially in…

EVERYTHING FOOD/NUTRITION
Thought I would start a thread about food... heck that is why we are all here right?? Probably because we love it too much... Maybe we can share healthy recipes, food substitutions, how we feel about food, what triggers us to overeat....

DAILY WORKOUTS...
Hope I am not stepping on toes by creating a new topic but thought this would be a good place to post our daily workouts?? Today I will be doing Week 4, Day 4 of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. I usually warm up with a little stationary bike. I will also do my daily dog walk which is about 1.2 miles. Going to try and get…

MEMORIAL DAY MELTDOWN!
Since I failed miserably at a 5 pound loss for the month of April group, I am forgetting about the scale (kind of ) and going to see how many inches I can lose. Some time this weekend I will post my measurements and then final measures after 4 weeks (May 24th or 25th). Planning on doing my measurements tomorrow! Join in if…

Gluten free diet
Any suggestions for good resources to do a trial of a gluten free diet. I have not been tested by a doctor but I have some symptoms that may suggest gluten sensitivity.

Do I need to eat within a certain time frame of awakening??
So what do you think?? I have read over the years that you should eat within an hour of waking up but what if I am not hungry?? Does it really matter??? I do normally eat probably within 3 hours of waking up and I have water and coffee but no actually food right away...

Agave syrup
Would like to try and use this to replace some sugar in some recipes. I normally make quinoa with berries for breakfast and use about 3 TBS of brown sugar for a large batch... How much agave should I use?? Is it equal to the amount of sugar used or less?

Runners with knee arthritis
So what I was originally diagnosed with, patellofemoral syndrome, then meniscal tear turned out to be neither.. arthritis is the diagnose per arthroscopy. Any one else with knee arthritis and still running??? My doctor made it sound like my running days may be numbered... Do you take supplements, if so what? Run barefoot…

Heavy weights versus lighter weights
Why I don't debate that heavy weights is probably a bigger key to success, please don't be discouraged if you cannot life heavy and you can only do low weights high reps. In the past I had gotten into really great shape doing light weights and lost a lot of weight. I am a firm believer in cardio also. We all cannot lift…

Low/no carb dessert ideas??
Trying low carb for a bit and would like some dessert ideas... I still like the idea of having a bit of a "decadent" snack before bed! :tongue:

Planks...
I know these are great for the core/abs but was wondering how many to do, sets, reps, etc... I have been doing them twice a day only building up to a 60 second hold but wondering how much more/many more I need to do for full benefits. I have to do them on my elbows (which I find much harder anyway) so not sure if that…

TDEE advice
Was wanting an opinion for what I should set my activity level at. I recently had knee arthroscopy and I am limited (along with tennis elbow). For the first week post surgery, I had it set at the very lowest activity. However, I have since started stationary bike for about 10-15 minutes twice a day along with ab work and…

Body Fat
I finally did body fat calculation on fat2fit site... puts me at 30.5 which says I am obese?? Seriously, wondering on the accuracy of that. I feel I only have about 10 pounds or so to lose, I can wear a size 4 or 6 so certainly do not consider myself obese... Maybe I looked at something wrong...

TDEE less than BMR??
I went to recalculate my calories on scooby since I will be having surgery and will be inactive but should my TDEE be less than BMR??

Food Calories versus Net Calories
Please forgive me if this has been asked before, but it was not until yesterday that I kind of noticed the Net calories on my daily summary. I have been basically going by my total food intake as opposed to the net. Should I be going by the net. I have my total calories for the day set at 1400 based on BMR but I work out…

Qigong
Do to some current injuries (having knee arthroscopy next week) and currently dealing with bad case of tennis elbow, I am thinking of trying qigong as my form of exercise while I recover. Anyone have any experience with this?
