Blisters
Hey guys...I bought some running shoes about 2.5 years ago. They have gotten in some use but not really that much. I actively used them for about 10 months to go to the gym but not a lot of running or walking. They have never caused me problems before until now. I started back walking and just the first two days I have…

Cancel my gym membership?
Hey guys, I have been a member of a gym since July. It has really helped boost my mood and get me back into exercising. However, the parts I love about it are that the people are extremely supportive, the group classes that are geared towards people like me trying to lose weight, and the bigger group classes like spin,…

Muscle cramps
The other day I was doing some cardio and got a cramp in my calf halfway into it. I (unfortunately) was hoping it would just go away and continued exercising. Near the end of my workout, it flared up again and really started to cramp. Before I could just feel the tightness of it starting. I did a few stretches after that.…

Lunch Problems :/
Today I realized how much I have an issue with my lunch situation. I pretty much have to eat while I'm working, and normally if I'm at my office I can bring a lunch and have access to a refrigerator and microwave. However, almost every day I am at a school where I need to pack a lunch that doesn't have to be refrigerated…

Smoothies!
I used to hate smoothies, but now I LOVE them. I would love some different smoothie recipes that are pretty low cal. The one I make all the time is 339 cals and consists of 1/2 cup milk, 1 banana, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 6 oz light vanilla yogurt, and 1 tbsp of honey. It is super yummy! So what's your favorite smoothie??

Anybody that works long shifts? Need advice!
I've been really struggling this week with eating better and trying to fit in exercise. I've started a new schedule at school which basically requires me to be busy from 9am-8pm most days at least on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I get up at 7 to get ready and usually end up in bed by 10pm, so I'm struggling to find the…

Ideas for control after dinner?
Hey, I've always had a tendency to snack especially at night after dinner. I've tried to take better control over my after dinner snacks, and it is definitely a whole lot better than it was. However, I notice now that by the end of the day I am usually below my calorie goal by about 100-300 calories, and I always tend to…

simple treat for chocolate lovers
I have recently been trying different flavored rice cakes. Since I love chocolate, I thought I would try them in that flavor. However, I was highly disappointed. Unlike the white cheddar flavor, I could not just eat these plain. Sooo..I decided to spread nutella on it. It was DELICIOUS! The rice cake helps me to eat slowly…

For those that have completed 30 day shred..a few questions
I have had this dvd forever but only do the workout every once in a while, but I have decided to try and challenge myself to do it for 30 days. For those that have completed it, did you do it for 30 consecutive days, or did you have rest days or days that you did other exercises? Also, did you do any other exercising on…

ever thought about it this way??
I was in class watching a therapy session by a well known therapist (I'm in a marriage and family therapy program), and the therapist asked this one obese lady why she was committing suicide. When he said that, it hit me hard! I had never thought about living an unhealthy lifestyle as suicide..a long painful one at that.…

Question for those with PCOS
If any of you are watching your carbs, how are you doing with that? I always seem to be over because I tend to eat things like cereal for breakfast or if I have an egg I have to have toast with it, and lunch is easily a sandwich or leftovers from dinner (which consists of many carbs), dinner is probably easiest for me to…

So I came to see what everyone else has to say....on walking plans I see that you should still be able to walk at 4 mph, but mine I can be jogging at 3.5...I dont know if maybe I just can't keep up?? But I can get a good workout (for me)…

My Grocery Bill Needs to Shrink! Eating healthy on a low bud
I was wondering if there is anybody that shops for either yourself or even maybe one other person in your household, and about how much do you spend every week on groceries? I always feel like I spend way too much on food and am trying to eat healthy on a low budget!

Foods that fill you up
I'm having a hard time getting full (satisfied not stuffed) after eating my meals. I try to do whole wheat when possible for carbs, and I've heard vegetables fill you up but they don't fill me up! I just ate about a cup and a half of pasta (was not whole wheat though because I was out) and some broccoli and cauliflower and…

frozen berries?
I bought some frozen berries this week for smoothies, but I wanted to try them plain with some light cool whip. I also wanted to use them possibly on oatmeal or with yogurt, but after thawing some out they are really tart and taste kind of funny from being frozen (to me anyways). Any suggestions? Fresh berries are SO…

New Breakfast Ideas
I have a huge problem finding something I want to eat for breakfast. I normally eat cereal, toast with jam, or eggs and toast. I don't like peanut butter toast, and I don't normally have time to make pancakes or anything. I have recently been eating yogurt and granola, but I really don't like yogurt by itself. I'm not big…
