SI Dysfuction
After a lot of nagging lower back and leg problems I went to a Doctor of Sports Medicine yesterday. He was very good and came highly recommended. They did an x-ray of my spine and he said it looked perfect but he did notice that I had some inflamation in the joints around the pelvic area. He did all kinds of tests of…

Weights vs. Cardio
Does anyone ever feel a little (or a lot) bloated after too much cardio. It seems like working at a good pace with the weights makes me feel slimmer. By good pace I mean doing a circuit rather than hanging out in one spot. I try to keep it to a 10 minute warm up (eliptical or treadmill), 35-40 minutes with weights and 20…

How do you stop yourself from eating after you're full?
My zumba instructor asked this question one time and I thought it was interesting. One of the ways she would stop herself from eating when she was full was to picture something gross (like a hair) in her food. She said it would gross her out and she would stop eating. I noticed that if I go out to eat (and can't really…

Lower back probs
I have been dealing with lower back pain which rears it's ugly head every so often. Over the winter I had to take a break from Zumba because of the pain in my lb and burning in my hips ( I checked with the doc and it wasn't bursitis). After a couple of weeks I jumped back into zumba, and my JM dvd's. Stretching took on a…

Not enough calories and macros wrong = problems
So.......I was losing about 1.2lbs per week which was exactly what MFP told me I would lose. This was great!! I felt better, looked better, ate better, but obsessed over it. I workout 6 days a week and would feel guilty if I only did 5. My eating wasn't perfect because I couldn't stay undering my fat macro of 20% (even…

over on fat but the good kind
So....I was just curious. Last week, I spoke with a personal trainer and she advised me to set my macros at 40/40/20. Obviously the 20 being fat. It's been really difficult staying within that range but I eat mostly healthy fats. The almonds and eggs alone can do it. I kick out the yolks after one egg because I know how…

sugar
Hi all. I recently started looking at my sugar intake and it's not good. While I have had success at losing weight....it's still important to watch that number. I have entered all of my food for the day (unless I snack at some point after dinner) and I am over my goal on sugar.:smile: Part of what cuts into my number is…

Going into debt with calories
Soooo.....I am not a big fan of using the weekly calorie intake vs. the daily calorie intake but after looking through my diary for the week, so far I am over my calories by 256 (this does include all of my exercise). Do I need to make that up by adding an extra workout (I already workout 6 days a week) or by reducing my…
