Dizzyness
I am a follower of South Beach Diet. I have noticed lately that I get dizzy during my workouts. I usually eat 2 boiled eggs and a cup of coffee with splenda and sugar free creamer for breakfast (6am). I get to the gym about 830 and run for 30 minutes (3 miles). I then do a kickboxing class. It is during the class that when…

expert needed
My 15 yo daughter had a TBI 10 years ago. She has balance disorder, so land activities are not a good choice. She swims every day for 1.5-2 hours with a coach (she is on the highschool swim team). She eats low carb and about 1300 cal. per day. She continues to gain weight. She weighs 150 lbs and is 5'3. She has LE weakness…

blood type?
Has anyone ever done the "eat right for your type" diet? I got the book for type O (me) and A (my daughter) and have been trying it for the past week. The O is almost like the South Beach Diet phase 1. A is opposite so it makes dinner time rough. My daughter is the one who really needs to lose weight and SBD did not work…

colon cleanse?
Anyone suggest a colon cleanse? I need to do something. I have been exercising everyday and eating 1200 calories (adjusted for exercise) and still have not lost any weight. I do South Beach along with cardio and weights. I thought of a colon cleanse since I did one about 8 years ago and I lost 5 lbs and lowered my…

I am stuck
Help! I keep calories around 12-1300. I work out 5 days per week for 1 hour. I work with a personal trainer 1x/2 weeks. I try to stick to phase 2 of SB diet. I have been doing this for 14 weeks and I actually have gained 4 lbs. Now, over Thanksgiving, I was off work for 5 days. I did not work out. I lost 3 lbs. As soon as…

UGHH!!!
I have been going to the gym for 5 weeks. First 2 weeks I went 3x/week. Next 3 weeks I went 5x/week. I do between 30-60 minutes a day. So, 5 weeks of exercise = gaining 5 lbs!!! WHAT??!!?? I know I am building muscle. I know it weighs more than fat. I know I am healthier. My boss (director of physical therapy) told me all…

I know muscle is building and weighs…

exercising with an injured calf muscle
Since I work in an office, I wear heals ALOT. Thus, my calf muscles are shortened. I stretch everyday when I hit the gym, but this last few days, I am in a lot of pain. I quit the crosstrainer treadmill for the past 3 workouts and opted for the eliptical. Today, it hurt too bad for that. I did my 30 minute core values…

what should I weigh?
I am 5' 4.5" and am 41 years old. What should I weigh? I am shooting for 120. My husband thinks I am fine. Everyone at work thinks I am fine. I am at 132. I started at 163. I do have breast implants in that weigh 2.5 lbs each. Should I take that into consideration? I just do not want to be too skinny, but I want to be…

Leg pain?
I went walking Thursday evening. I was on my 3rd lap and I started to run. At the end of the lap, I felt something pull in my calf muscle (at the base). It was finally easing up today, and my little girl wiped out on her bike. I took off my flip flops and took off running in bare feet. Now, not only is the one leg still…

ab question
How can I get my abs flat? Sit ups just are not cutting it. I want playmate kind of abs and I still have a buldge. I have lost 30 lbs and still have 13 to go, but I do not see how that small amount of weight (once it is gone) will make a difference in my tummy pooch. Any suggestions? I do south beach diet, so the carbs are…

Hello

I joined here to see what I am doing wrong so I can lose the last bit of weight. I know I should exercise more, but with 3…
