Weak knee
I have been running six miles twice a week. I would like run even more but my left knee hurts really bad. I stretch before I run and while I run I stretch out my left leg to lessen the pain. Is there anything I can do to help my knee?

Mid-section
I carry a lot of my extra weight in my mid-section and was just wondering what else could help to reduce it apart from doing sit ups. Thanks =P

never thought i would be able to do it....
and yet here i am. I just weighed myself and i am so.. close to my goal weight. I never thought I could, I just said to myself "just get through today" and i would repeat the same thing the next day. I'm only 13 lbs away... I haven't been this weight since high school, =) if i can do this.. anyone can.

2 lbs a week
I've heard that this is the most you should be losing to lose weight the healthy way. Is there any suggestions on how I can achieve this? Do I eat more of my exercise calories back? Or do I have to work out three times a day?

That "time" of the month.
For the past four months now my cycle has been out of whack. Normally it would last 3-4 days and now it's only one day. They told me it could be because I'm losing weight but I'm not quite sure if that's true? I'm not on any birth control so I know it's not that. Sorry by the way but I was curious if there's anyone else in…

Specific target areas
I know you can't specifically lose weight in one area. However I've noticed the most change in my legs and I'd just like it if my middle and upper body would follow. I've been doing weights lately to help out but I was just wondering if there is anything extra I can do?

It's been a month since...
My last post and I was struggling to start my work out routine again. I've recently became separated from a long 6 year relationship, work was hectic and on top of that I got really sick :indifferent: But I feel much better now. I'm working out again and I really enjoy the city view I get when I'm running across the bridge…

for those of you who take protein bars and protein shakes
do they help you lose weight or is to bulk up? I'm barely eating them but I'm worried that I'll become bulky when I actually want to have lean muscle. Or do they just make you gain weight?

falling off the wagon...
I haven't been "pigging" out but I can't stop from being hungry at night. I haven't been working out either though I'm just tired all the time. It's been only two weeks but I feel like it's been a year and I'm anxious to start working out and feel better not all tired all the time... ,

I've heard... question for girls
When you start vigorous exercises in the beginning it will throw off you menstrual cycle? Since I started three months ago I get my period twice a month is that normal?
-
Any suggestions?
I know you can't really target a specific area you want to lose weight in, but I was wondering when did you start losing weight in your mid section and hips? The first change I saw in myself were my legs and my arms, buy my hips and mid section haven't gone down as much =/
-
why does this happen?
I step on the scale once a week and I barely see a difference, only one pound change. But I do see the difference in my clothes, they fit looser and I'm even starting to wear my high school clothes again =) I was just wondering why does this happen? Does it mean I'm only losing water weight and not fat? Because I've been…
-
should i run in....
I don't live in a very good neighborhood so my question is if it would be better to run early in the morning or at night? It's going to be dark out at both times. If I were to run in the morning it would be 6am and at night it would be at 7pm. I don't have enough to invest in a gym so pretty much my home is my gym but I…

two weeks
Two weeks ago I got really sick. I haven't been able to work out since then because of the combination of having a fever and feeling constantly nauseous because of the medicines. I'm still not fully better but I'm going to start today again. I still feel like I'm back at square one since I let so many days pass by:ohwell:

help toning arms
I've been doing weights to get rid of my arm flab but I think that I'm just making the fat turn into muscle, lean muscle I don't mind but I'm afraid of getting bulky muscle. Any suggestions?

who knows of a...?
Who knows of an exercise program where you can lose ten pounds for a month? I need to lose 2 pounds a week for only one month so I can reach my goal by the end of the year =)
-
fact or fiction?
A friend was telling me that by taking a week off exercising you would kick start your muscles again burning as many calories as when you started. I was just wondering if this is true or not?
-
2lb a week
I've read that this is the most you can lose each week while still being healthy. My question is how is it done? Right now I'm working out in the morning and at night and I've only been able to lose 1 pound a week which I am proud of but this month I want to lose 2 a week. Reason? Because I want to reach my goal by the end…

olive garden salad
wow I can't believe it has so many calories! I learned my lesson next time no dressing. I knew dressing was bad but I did not imagine that bad! For two servings it was 700 calories. The funny thing is that I only had soup and salad to be careful and I still ate a lot of calories =( Oh well next time I'll ask for no…

heart rate monitor?
Can anyone recommend me a good heart rate monitor? I just need one where I can wear all day to tell me how many calories I burn doing my normal routine and when I work out :flowerforyou:

What was the first thing you noticed?
when you started losing weight where was the place you noticed first? For me it was my legs, I wish it was my stomach first lol. :smile:

goals and rewards
I'm just curious, when you complete a mini goal what do you do to treat yourself? Some girls treat themselves to a manicure.

sorry if someone has already written about this
How do you know that you're drinking enough water? I've been reading online that it all depends on your weight but I don't know where to calculate it? I'm drinking a liter and a half of water a day already.

did anyone start working out and dieting with a friend?
Three months ago I started doing the eating right and working out thing with a friend of mine. I'm just wondering why is it she's shed so much weight! we work out together and almost eat the same things. It's driving me nuts! She's lost close to 60 lbs while I haven't even lost half of that. I feel discourage...

Cardio
I've read that doing a lot of cardio will help you burn off fat faster. I've been doing strength training three days out of the week and the other three I do cardio. I've already hit that plateau with this and I wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations and what kind of new exercised to do? I was doing the Jillian…

Motivation?
I found it's always easy in the beginning to work out and eat right but after a couple of weeks it's becomes hard. How do you keep motivated? I really don't have support other than my fiance but he succumbs to temptation a lot lol. So what I do is just ignore it but it's starting not to work anymore.
-
starting all over again
I've tried losing weight before but stopped for a while due to work. I stopped in Feb. and gained back 10 pounds. Which is a downer but I tried to eat as healthy as possible, if it wasn't for that I probably would've gained all the weight back and then some. So, it's a fresh start and I'm feeling pretty glad because I like…

does anyone know about thyroid conditions?
Does anyone else have trouble with theirs? I have been told that because of my thyroid it's harder for me to lose weight. Is there anything I can do to speed it up? Or speed up metabolism? I have a slow one as well.

I really, really need advice.
I've gone back to my old habits. I was unemployed for a while so I had time to exercise and eat right. I finally have a job again thanks to my sister who hired me. Here's the problem. Since it's a family business and I'm very grateful for the help the job requires a lot of time. I have to be at work from 6am until 8pm. I…
