Exercising with arthritis.
Recently I was diagnosed with arthritis in my lower back (sacrum area) and both knees. In 2001 I fell down a flight of stairs and had a hairline fracture in my sacrum and it's bothered me ever since. But the pain had just lessened over the years. As for my knees, I was particularly active my Freshman year of high school in…

Turkey burgers!
Does anyone have any good recipes on how to make ground turkey burgers good, but still kind of low in calories? I tried looking up on www.foodnetwork.com, but none of them sounded that great. Share! Share!

Ankle problems
In 2005, I fractured my ankle. I never had any surgery or anything to correct it because it was a hairline fracture. I was put on a air cast for a few weeks and whatnot. But to this day, I still have problems with it. A lot of fluid builds up around it, and I've been to the doctors for it MANY times. The only things that…

Asthma and exercise
I'm back in the working out game and I find myself having a wheezing and coughing fit more than usual when I DO work out as of late. I'm not sure if it's the odd shift in weather or what, but I hate it. It discourages me soooo much. My doctor has assured me that my asthma will most likely lighten up as I lose more weight.…

Vitamin Water
I'm trying (key word being "trying") to stop drinking pop so much. Granted, I don't drink it that often, and when I do it isn't in large consumptions. I'll have a bottle or a can here or there. And Coke is usually the culprit. Orrr if I have a stomach ache, I generally drink Vernor's ginger ale. Again, I don't drink it a…

IBS safe foods?
I have a terrible case of IBS, and it seems no matter what I eat, it doesn't agree with me. I will spare you the details, haha, but I'm just curious as to what I can do to help ease the bouts of it as far as food or supplements go. I'm not sure if exercise helps or not, even when I was at my smallest I still had issues…

Starbucks!
I have to admit, I'm addicted to Starbucks. Thankfully, I rarely drink anything from there because the nearest one is in a few towns over and it takes a good 35-40 min to get there -- and I don't drive. I love most of their specialty coffees, but I know they're high in calories. So this past summer I drank nothing but Tazo…

Good stretching techniques?
I've always had a problem with hyper-extending. More specifically, my knees. I'm just curious if any of you know of any good YouTube stretching tutorials or something? haha And is it recommended to do it after exercising too? I heard so somewhere that it is. I'm sure my trainer will help me more when I stat the gym next…

Hi! Newbie here!
Hi! I'm Stephanie. I'm 26, and I'm currently in desperate need of lifestyle change. So I am doing it. Getting the exercise ball rolling is a little tough, but I am doing what I can right now. Which is better than nothing, right? I was on a horrible med called Seroquel XR and it made me gain over 100lbs. I've already lost…
