Running = knee pain?!
I run 3x a week, and last weekend after my running days, my knees were killing, to the point where I couldn't walk comfortably. I got some advice suggesting things like new shoes, but my shoes are brand new, so I don't know if it's that... Anyway, I did yoga, swimming (and even a bit of cycling) over the weekend, and my…

SERIOUS knee pain
I've been running 3x a week for a few months now, I'm still slow and don't have that much endurance, but it's better than nothing. On my last run I noticed that my knee was twinging, 2 days later and it's in agony, to the point where I couldn't sleep and can't walk particularly happily. I know arthritis runs in my family,…

Body Rock TV vs. Zuzka Light
I'm making good use of these forums, and posting like a madwoman! Anyway, so I'm looking to increase my cardio workout options. Currently I do about 45 mins each of ballet conditioning and yoga per day, while these do build a sweat and get the heart going, it's limited and I think it's more about muscle strengthening than…

Nike Training Club - calories burned
Hi! I've just used NTC for the first time (did sweat + shape), it's pretty damn awesome so far! My only problem is that I have no idea how I should log the calories burned. I don't have a hrm, and I won't be getting one anytime soon. Can anyone advise me as to what I could be logging it under? Maybe aerobics? Thanks!!!!…

Side pain whilst running
I'm a beginner runner, I've been running 3x a week for the last 5 weeks, building up how long I run for. This week's set was supposed to be run 6 minutes, walk 1 (x3), but I didn't feel as though I was ready for that yet, so I've just been doing 5 minute run, walk 2 (x3). Today was my second session of the week (the first…

Please help, I need advice!
I'm 22, 5"6, 155 lbs. I've changed my lifestyle to be more healthy, I work out 6/7 days a week (running x 3 a week), then ballet or yoga the rest of the days. I eat healthily, I average about 1700 calories a day, and I generally stay away from processed foods. As far as I can tell, I'm doing everything right, no mindless…

Becoming increasingly concerned at zero weightloss
I've been at this for 2 month, and obviously I'm not expecting to see massive changes over that time, but I have literally lost no weight, and no inches. I workout 6 days a week, some days I do more cardio, other days I focus on strength training, but as far as I can tell my routines follow suggestions for exercise plans…

New runner... oh the pain!! Advice?
So this week I started a beginners running programme, which is pretty easy, 1 minute run, 2 minute walk x 7. I did Monday, Tuesday, rested Wednesday and ran this morning. But, my legs are in agony! I feel like I'm ancient, I can only hobble up stairs at a very conservative speed (super slowly). I also alternate doing a…

MFP net calories query - help needed!?
I don't know why it's only clicked now, but on the MFP app, there's goal, food, exercise and net calories. In terms of how many calories I'm consuming, should net calories represent my daily goal? i.e. if my daily goal is 1500 and I burn 500 exercising, then should I be taking in 2000 calories in total? Or should OK only…

Nutritionist worth it?
I'm SLOWLY starting to get my head around my lifestyle change, where I'm aiming for healthy rather than just skinny or whatever. So ideally I'd like to know what I should be eating. My question is this, is going to see a nutritionist worth it? It's quite expensive here in the UK, so it's something that I would only be able…

Need motivation AND support!
I'm really starting to get frustrated, it's been a month, and I SEE no results. I'm following all the rules, I eat a good amount of healthy calories everyday, I do ballet and yoga, and I get enough sleep, etc etc. I can definitely feel myself getting stronger and more supple, but I'm not seeing any results; when I look in…

Eating when you're not hungry?
Is it best to eat, even when not hungry? Say I'm under my recommended calorie intake, but I'm really not hungry, should I just eat something anyway?

Sugar affecting weight loss?
I've just had a run through my diary, and I've noticed that my sugar intake is over the app's recommended amount. It's mostly from fruit, though I do also have a couple of (under 100 calorie) artificially sweetened snacks per day (like sweetened coffee, and dark chocolate). My question is, even though I'm not going over my…

Results?! Desperate need of help!!!
Hi guys, I'm starting to feel demotivated here, and I wonder if someone with a bit more insight into this could help me out. I've been at it for three weeks (I know that's not a long time), but I've seen NO results, no weight loss, no inches lost, nothing. I certainly don't feel any fitter, and so I'm wondering if my…

I know everyone asks this... but results?
Hi everyone, So I'm halfway through my second week of my healthier lifestyle change, and I'm not expecting to see results yet, but I was just wondering what my time scale is for when I should start seeing results. I eat healthily, mostly fruit and veg, with some carbs and some protein. I try and do exercise twice a day,…
