Skeletal strength vs. muscular tolerance
I have been doing New Rules Of Lifting For Women for several months now, and LOVE lifting, but I have dislocated my shoulder, and my chiropractor suggested that my upper body skeletal frame is not built for lifting the amounts of weight I was up to. Have any of you had this happen, and what do you think about having to…

no stability ball for prone jackknives
So the gym where I lift doesnt have stability balls. Do you think replacing prone jackknives with mountain climbers would work just as well? And if so how many reps to equal?

I am just curious to see if anyone has this happen. I LOVE kale! And recently I started eating simple raw kale salads with dinner. I am finding that I am ravenous right about an hour after I eat it. Anyone else have that happen after a large helping of raw kale????

Is this pretty normal???
I have been keeping track of calories, and working out for a while now with the help of MFP. I started HIIT and lifting a few months back. I really like the results that I am seeing, but here is the deal. My weight has not shifted one bit, nor have my measurements. I look very different, but numbers have not changed at…

going back instead of forward.
And I am okay with that! Has anyone else taken a step back? This week my endurance test put me back at week 4 but in the 3rd column. I tried to pull it off today, but absolutely can not manage that many yet, so I am putting myself on detention...HAHAHA! I am going back to the 2nd column. Has anyone else felt the need to…

fruit calories and sugar.
I am 100% sure this has come up a billion times, but I will throw it out there again. My husband and I are both using MFP, and a common question has come up. We have always been of the understanding that fruit is super good for you. and that you should eat several servings a day. The problem is they are packed full of…

Polar, Fitbit, or Ironman???
Which HRM would you all recommend? It seems like the Ironman has the best reviews online, and I can get one at a good price, but I keep seeing the fitbit, and Polar ft1's and 7's come up. I do like that the Fitbit has a sleep monitor on it. But I really just want to get something I can rely on for workouts. What do you…

Felling empty after a meal
I don't know if this topic has been brought up before but here goes anyway. I have been counting my calories between another site, then this one for about 2 months. I have dropped about 10 lbs. my eating habits have changed quite a bit, as I have been lowering my caloric intake. But I have noticed over the past few days…

I really want to be able to work my abs...but.....
I would love to put some abdominal work into my strength training, but for the past 5 years or so every time I try to do a crunch, or any sort of strenuous ab. work I want to throw up. It comes on pretty strong about 10 crunches in and doesn't relent. Has anyone else had problems with this? I have seen a doctor about it,…

new and clueless....sort of.
Hiya! My name is Rebecca, I have been journalling for a little over 2 weeks or so, and figured I would pop in and join the community. I have been reading through some threads and see that I have a lot to learn about the logistics of weight loss, and fitness. I am in the process of loosing about 10-15 more pounds that I put…
