What's the difference between strength and weight training?
I know, it's such a stupid question and will probably be blindingly obvious when someone points it out, but I'm a complete newbie at exercise. I keep reading that it's important to combine my cardio with strength training, but I'm not entirely sure what that is *hangs head in shame*

Totally lacking in motivation >:(
Ok so I am feeling really really crap today. Full of excuses. Feeling like I can't do this PROPERLY. I'm dead broke for another 2 weeks, so I can't afford to buy decent food, and enough food to get me to my calorie targets. (I have $40 for food for 2 weeks:?) I need new shoes, my current ones are ****, every single time I…

NSV - Period pain has considerably lessened!
I've been doing this for less than one week. Got my period today. Usually I'm in a world of pain. Scrunched up moaning in agony. I was on the verge of seeing a doctor. BUT!!! I feel okay today!

My calves are STILL sore!!
I went for my first good hard walk the other night, and I went for about 45 minutes. I loved it. The next morning when I woke up my calves were really REALLY hurting. I couldn't walk properly, I was sort of staggering about. I've been doing little stretches throughout the day and last night, but I've woken up again with…

Negative Calorie Effect Foods?

Apparently some foods (like celery, carrots, apples, oranges, cucumber, strawberries) produce a negative calorie effect.
