Cold/flu: exercise or not?
It occurred to me that I need to be prepared for how to deal with exercise when it comes to illness (cold/flu). I do use precautions and have had the 4-strain flu immunization, but still, I need to know how others deal with the interruption of the exercise routine. Do you push through and exercise anyways?

The scales: days to register?
I eat over my limit, the scale shows I lost weight. I exercise till I'm dripping in sweat burning 2000+ calories for two days in a row and the scale shows I gained 2#.

Should I be concerned about rapid weight loss?
Ever since I started staying under the recommended 1750 calories (which included 399 exercise calories), I've been losing a pound a day. Staying under, meaning barely under, not drastically under. I weighed in at 257 today; which is in the super obese category for my height. I do know that the bigger you are, the faster…

Due to DeQuervain's Syndrome (aka Blackberry Thumb) I can no longer bear weight on my wrist/thumb area to do planks. Are there any exercises that I can do to build core strength that would be as effective as planks? Would planks performed on my forearms still be effective?
