Deli Meat and Cheese Tray
Hello, I've done a search for this topic and couldn't find anything relevant. I'm trying to estimate how many calories are in a serving of meat and cheese off of a meat and cheese deli tray from a function I attended. It was ham and turkey meat with swiss and pepperjack. I really really don't want to have to input each…

"Can't build at a deficit..."
So I'm not a newbie at the whole treadmill/elliptical routine, as that's how I've been increasing my endurance and losing bits of weight. I've started to incorporate weights (mostly dumbbells and bodyweight) lately, but I've noticed that I hear "you can't build muscle at a calorie deficit!" all the time and I am supremely…

Anger makes great workout fuel
I'm a student in a competetive and rather challenging nursing program. Yesterday I had two HUGE exams, back to back, on rather vague and difficult material. I didn't do as well as I wanted, partially related to improper instruction from the instructor, so I left the exam room seething with both personal irritation and…

Recovery from Sprained Ankle
Hello, I recently sprained my ankle (last Fri) and saw the Dr today to recheck it. Good news is the foot is not broken. Yay! Bad news is, I am stuck with this brace on for the next 5-6 weeks, and I can't do anything more than my school-related activity on it, ie doing 8-10 hour clinical shifts at the hospital. He says…

Shoot me. Just shoot me.
So I had been doing great at this whole dieting thing. Finally dropped below 250, feeling optimistic. So I did day one of 30 day shred. After I completed the whole damn thing (by fantasizing about finding JM and beating her with my hand weights) I woke up the next day sore but determined. Went out to the barn to gather…

Calisthenics and dizziness
Hi! I'm a 31 y/o woman, mom, and nursing student that is slowly but surely losing weight. I don't have a whole lot of money or time, so I tend to work out from home a lot.

Warrior Dash/ Spartan Sprint, and being Overweight?
Good afternoon, I am wondering if someone can do either the Warrior Dash or Spartan Sprint while being overweight? I'm 5'6" and 244 lbs. I'd like to get an idea of what I would need to work on to finish one of these events, and whether it really is something for people off the couch like they say, or if maybe I don't…

Elliptical Troubles
Hello, I've found a recurring issue when I use my elliptical. I'll get about 10 minutes into my 30-40 min workout, and my right foot and toes start to go to sleep. My back doesn't hurt, my knees don't hurt, but my foot goes numb. I've adjusted the stride on my foot peddles, but that hasn't changed it. I have sciatica, but…
