Who has venous insufficiency?
Hello, I was wondering if any of you have venous insufficiency? I am wondering at what age you got it, the symptoms you have and if losing weight has helped and/or slowed the progression? I have been diagnosed with it and I am under 40. I am a little shocked by it, knowing the facts of the disease, with so many people in…

What is the worst comment you ever got about your weight?
I was thinking about what I hate about being fat because of a previous post and it got me wondering about other people's worse comment. Here is the one I remember from when I was 30lbs lighter than I am currently. I have a brother who is about 400 lbs and he does NOT wash as well as he should (YUCK) and his wife was…

Lean Protein/ Regular Protein
I am wondering about lean protein vs. regular protein. I have been just using regular protein when a woman from my weight lifting class asked me about it and she said that women should only be drinking the "lean protein" so as women we don't become "bulky". I was under the impression that we all have a certain amount of…

changing your work out
Hello I was wondering how often a person would have to change their workout routine? I hear your body can get used to a certain set of exercises and so it is important to change your exercise routine ever so often. So I am wondering what do you do to change out your exercises and how often do you do change it up and do you…

What are you weight loss goals set at?
I am trying to lose weight in a healthy way, of course, but I also don't want to lose too fast or too slowly. I am reading that you shouldn't try to lose more than .5 lb a week because you will lose muscle. I just started a weight lifting for women class to help with strength and endurance and definitely don't want to lose…

weightlifting and eating
I just started a weightlifting class for women at my community college. I have never lifted before and I was wondering if any of you eat more calories when you lift if so, how many? I have my settings at lightly active even though I consider myself to be embarrassingly sedentary, due to an article on here about weight…

Women with c-sections and a lot of weight too lose
I have roughly 125 lbs to lose to be at my optimal weight and I have had two cesarean sections and I am 35 yrs old. I was just looking at all the belly transformations and it made me wonder if I too could ever have a "flat-ish" belly. I am comfortable not having a perfectly flat stomach, I figure I earned my scars, but I…

Planet fitness
Does anyone here have a Planet Fitness membership? I guess I didn't realize there were so many negative opinions about the gym. I myself have a membership and have to admit I don't understand the free pizza and bagels, however, I don't indulge in those, at least not at the gym.

should I exercise . . .
This may be an odd question, but, is it "OK" to exercise while sick? I have a cold and feel a little weak and tired and I am wondering if it inhibits healing if I exercise? I would like to exercise tomorrow but don't want to delay my healing. Do you exercise while sick?

To confront or not to confront?
Okay so here is the story. I have a wonderful 14 yr old boy who, like a lot of teenagers, has lost his way. He has horrible self-esteem probably due to his severe scoliosis and having to wear a back brace plus he has braces on his teeth and kids make fun of him. I believe this contributed to him finding horrible friends. I…

Why!?
I think I am doing fairly well with losing weight and working out lately. I will be honest and say I am less impressed with what I have been eating. The last three days I have went over my calorie allowance and that wouldn't bother me so much if it was because I really had to have a piece of fruit or a vegetable or…

Don't you just hate it when
You weigh yourself and you are 2 lbs heavier than you were the day before? That is what happened to me today. I am not going to let it get me too down because I know I am eating within my calorie budget and I am doing cardio. I can't let myself get to bummed. I suppose I could just be dehydrated, I do have signs of it,…

Mini Success
I try to exercise on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays but I put it off yesterday in favor of today. I realized as I was getting ready for the gym that they were closed today. . .ugh ! So I am calling it a success that I made myself brave the weather and go for a walk around my area for one hour. I don't think I burned as…

I have read some of the random postings over the past couple of weeks and sometimes people will bring up the 30 day shred DVD so I am wondering who has tried it? Did you like it? What didn't you like? What were your results?

My calves hurt
I am trying to exercise at least three times this week but I have found that after awhile on the treadmill my right calf muscle gets really tight. I am wondering if anyone knows why this would happen, how to prevent it and finally how to relieve it. I am really out of shape and I know that doesn't help but I also know I…
