I have been working out for several months now after having my second baby...i need to get back in shape so I have been doing both wieght training (I guess really curcuit training) and cardio...I work out about 5 days a week and I have gotten my eating heathier than ever
So here is the problem...i have lost 3+ inches from my waist and not a single pound...while I know that muscle wieghs more than fat, i am still needing to lose wieght as well...using an electronic handheld i am still considered the same BMI that I was before
I need to come up with more ideas because it is very important to me to get in shape as the mother of two little girls I really want them to be active and have heathy body images...

I've never had the big "O" (you all know what I mean). Is there something wrong with me, something I'm not doing right or is it just the guys I've been with?

Everyone says, "oh it's amazing....the best feeling in the world!" But darn it, I've never had one and I've been active for 4 years!

For the past few months I've realized more and more of an increased thirst, increased appetite (i eat a ton but don't gain anything), extreme fatigue and dizziness, increased need to urinate, slight tingling in my hands which go away after a few minutes, throwing up after meals unintentionally, and very strange sensations where I feel like I'm going to pass out and start to hyperventilate after I eat certain foods. I went to the doctor with my mom and got an AC1 glucose test done and the first one said 7.2 so she took me to a different doctor and it was significantly lower so my mom decided that was the end of the testing. My grandma and Uncle both have had it, but those are the only two in my family. I know I'm probably just being a hypochondriac but a) Is it possible I may have it (don't want to waste time or money on tests if not lol) and b) could these tests be wrong? and which are the most accurate in diagnosing?

I guess this is an age thing. You older guys experience the same thing? Use to I could hit something 38 inches away, now just a couple of inches. That part of growing old sucks.

I was on a walk last Friday, swinging my hands, front to back, as I walked. About 10 minutes into my walk I felt my right arm getting heavy. I tried swinging my arms more to shake it off. After about 3-5 minutes the heaviness went away. I walked for about 30 min.
When I got home, I spent about 30 min cracking shelled peanuts with my hand.

A few hours later I felt a pain in my thumb area(palm side). The pain felt like it was starting to cramp. When I woke the next morning this thumb area was VERY sore. Cramping feeling. I could not grab anything or make a fist. I do have the start of arthritis in my hands my doctor has told me. I am 48 y/o female. My neighbor tells me it's just arthritis but I think it's more like a pinched nerve.

I made a doc appt for Wed., but this is killing me. I've done the ice pack but that only relieves it as long as I keep the ice on.
Anyone know any hand exercises I can do?

About 2 months ago my son ( who is 6) fell through his bunk bed and hit his face up against the post of the bed. He doesnt complain much about it but it really hasnt healed. My question is if he had chipped his bone or something ..does it heal on its on. My son is very tough and has been through alot in the past couple years with injuries and there is some trauma there. I dont want to put him through more trauma..if it is something that can heal on its on.....I am a good mother ...but as time has passed and the bruise is still there I am getting more concerned, but like I said it doesnt really bother him!

They only feel better when i stretch them out, but when I bend them, to get then under the desl, I get this sensation that goes through my whole body and I become restless because I can't keep my legs bent under the desk. It's been like this for a week now. I've tried stretching but as soon as I bend them again, it's the same thing. I don't know what to do, but I just can't sit at my desk anymore. HELP!!!

Hello,

My girlfriend is 5'3 and is a curvy size 6(US 2) but she would like to lose some weight around her tummy.

Any ideas?

She does tone her tummy, by using excersise equipment that mimics sit ups. But it doesn't seem to tone up like she wants it to.

She eats well and drinks loads of water.

Any other ideas on how to lose the weight?

Cheers

P.S. This is not for me, to me she looks great as she is.

Is anybody else here seriously suprised about the lack of basic knowledge most people who contribute to this section seem to have? Everyone seems to be an "expert" - but some of the answers I have seen can be mis leading, unclear or simply wrong.
& why is it that everyone thinks there is a quick fix to either getting fit or loosing weight (ie whats the fastest way to get a six pack, or which diet is best to loose xx pounds in 2 weeks)
Having been involved in teaching sport at a high level for nearly 40 years I dispair sometimes
