"At this point, you can't do this on your own."
I went to the doctor this morning out of concern for my knee which has been bothering me. In talking to my doctor, she brought up concern about my weight. Since my first visit with her less than a year ago my weight is up. I believe it's because of some medications I'm taking, as I have been working out and tracking my…

When the munchies set in...3 PM edition
I don't know if it's just me, but I have the hardest time not munching throughout the afternoons. I typically eat breakfast at 8 and lunch at 12, but by 2 or 3, the munchies start hardcore! Any tips on reducing the munchies?

W3D2 Epic Fail Injury...advice needed!
I was going fine through the first interval of W3, than an ache in my right calf started. Not a normal "Ahhh, muscle fatigue, must power through!" ache. An "owwwww" ache. Then, apparently, as my gait changed to favor my right leg, my left knee started with a sharp, sharp pain around the patella. I made it through the 3…

Running vs Jogging - What's the Difference?
I "run" about a 13 minute pace, but I don't know if I'd call it running... So what's the difference between running and jogging? Do you have to jog before you can run?

Multiple Year Post WLS?
Anyone out there still trying to lose multiple years after WLS? I had gastric bypass 8 years ago...still struggling. I'm doing low carb (which is what our nutritionists recommended immediately post surgery). I started at 340, lost to 220, then was back up to 280 before I stomped on the breaks and got back into this. Any…

Anyone else having a total Friday the 13th?
I'm not too superstitious, but today is killing me! Something good happens...followed by something bad. Good: Wake up, in a great mood, day starts out right if you know what I mean. Bad: Slip and fall in the shower. Good: Weigh myself, down 1.6 lbs! YAY! Bad: Go to put a load of laundry in, and while walking to laundry in…

Moving forward...
I've finished week 1, but feel super exhausted after the end of each 60 second run. By the 7th interval I'm basically yelling at the voice in my headphone "F#*$ YOU! I'M GONNA DO IT YOU B!%^H, BUT I DON'T WANNA!" My "running" speed is about the same as my fastest walk speed....my jogging pace is usually 14:30-17:30,…

Walking quickly...
Does anyone else find that during walking, they just CAN'T go faster than perhaps a fast stroll? Maybe I'm just a slow walker, but I cannot for the life of me go 3.5+ mph for more than a few minutes without just getting sick of moving my body so fast. I'm not out of breath or really tired or anything...just don't want to…

Two exercise problems...(Female Related)
Two problems while exercising, that I've pretty much always experienced... 1) I get the worst headaches while exercising. Doesn't matter if I've eaten or not, they're still there. Taking a ibuprofen ahead of time slightly dulls it, but not much. It's like there's a huge amount of blood pumping through my head and it's…
