Groin/Adductor issue
Help! I felt pain in my inner thigh after a 5mile run two weeks ago. Wasn't so sore whilst running so I did another 2 shorter runs that week. After that I thought best to rest and have been walking 5k every day instead with some cycling. The pain isn't so bad but it's still not shifting. I have been foam rollering my…

Knowing when to take time out
Hi, I started home workouts over a year ago. Working out daily at least 5 days a week – it’s my new lifestyle and i love it. I get antsy if i can’t get my workouts in. Over the last year I’ve worked through coughs & colds and minor ailments, maybe taking a day off here or there if feeling really poorly. I guess I've been…

Rapid weight gain woes
Exactly a year ago i started changing my lifestyle and also began working out at home. During this period, using my old analogue scales I lost just short of a stone. I felt great, was able to take holidays and quickly get back on board without too many fluctuations. Over Xmas, over 2wks, I did allow myself many more treats…

30 DS, Ripped in 30.. what next?
Have completed the 30DS and am now on week 4 of RI30 (level 4 kicks my booty). I have loved Jillian Michaels... and the high you get when you're left in a sweaty puddle after only 30mins. Any ideas or suggestions for next routine? I know i could probably mix it up & do some stages of each but I like having a goal and…

High Blood sugar, any nutrition boffins?
I recently went to the drs for recurring joint pain.. she said she’d order a raft of tests to check for rheumatoid arthritis etc.. got a call last night to say my blood sugar was high & to go back for a fasting test. I assume they want to rule out type 2 diabetes... makes me feel alarmed! I have been watching my diet very…

Fitting it all in
Hi all, I'm recent returner to MFP - I used it successfully to track my diet & exercise whilst on Mat leave & it worked well for me. Now I'm over a year on, back at work full time and feeling the bulge after Christmas and New Year! At the end of last year I was running (well.. jogging) 3 times a week for up to 4 miles. Not…
