Re: Losing Weight with Starscream
down 4 this week. I'm at my lowest weight since 2005 when I was 313.5. Hopefully by next week I'll be below that, and I've only really been keeping track since 2005, so God only knows what kinda record I'll set when I get below that. Below 300 will be a fantastic thing, right now goal is 250- might just make it by next annual physical in April. But, getting ahead of myself. Happy to be going onwards and downwards!

Re: Losing Weight with Starscream
I guess the drive home had some other disaster thrown upon me. I have had some serious lower back pain yesterday and today. Kinda worried about doing exercise right now. Guess I'll get in some WiiFit that is low impact.
Stretching: help or hurt right now?

Re: Losing Weight with Starscream
Sometimes rest is the best medecine. It really depends on how badly you're hurt, maybe rest up for three- five days. Don't want to aggravate an injury so you'll be down a month or more!

I did a couple of leg lifts about two hours ago, cradling my knees in toward my chest. Pain started to subside a bit after that.

Re: Losing Weight with Starscream
I was bad today. I'm at kings island and couldn't resist the blueberry ice cream. It's a tradition for whenever I'm here. Back to induction day 1 again. LOL

Re: Losing Weight with Starscream
Is it possible that it's back spasms?
I'd recommend no impact activities and light stretching to keep things from tightening up. Might try a heating pad or ice pack and see how it responds to that. |

I feel your pain though. After my longest run a couple days ago I have seemed to develop plantar fasciitis. I need my excersize otherwise I feel like I am gonna slide backwards....sucks. I could barely walk the last couple days. Today it is SLIGHTLY better but still killing me.

Once I drop a bit more weight, I'd like to get back into running, and maybe biking. Years ago, I was running about 4 miles a day. Nothing like the feeling of finishing up a good run. Posted via Mobile Device |

Stretching-sit on a chair and roll a tennis ball/baseball under your heel a couple of times a day for 10 minutes or so. You can do calf stretches that will also stretch the same area where you're getting pain. Fill some daisy cups with water and freeze and apply daily to reduce inflammation along with taking aleve. Avoid any activity other than walking as increased pressure will make it worse. LMK if you need any more advice. This was a major ***** in my life and a big reason why it's necessary to diet today. I weighed 182 # and worked out a lot until I got plantar fasciitis. I laid around, felt sorry for myself, and turned to food to try to cope. I've just been on a roller coaster the past 5 years trying to take it back off. |

Re: Losing Weight with Starscream
Gained a pound on my night off (rewarded myself with soda and beef jerky for cracking 250). I burned it right back off with an hour workout, so I'm down to 248.

Re: Losing Weight with Starscream
after a week on the road im back down to my lowest, very happy about this. Interestingly on the road i ate a lot less than what i had been eating at home. Breakfast may have been bacon and eggs and for lunch id just snack on some turkey meat and cheese i kept in a portable cooler, then dinner meat and veg. I feel like i ate a lot less on the road anyway, but im not sure. INTERESTING. Started at 339 april 27th, down to 316.1 now, want to get to 300 by sept-oct

My personal opinion from my personal experience is that if I lay down and let the problem simmer, I'll have a major problem in no time. It just snowballs and gets so tight it makes you sick to the stomach. If it's spam, the heating pad should iron that out in a day. If it hasn't gotten markedly better, I'd suggest you make a bunch of gallon bags of crushed ice wrapped in towels, strap them suckers on, let your back get cooled off, make sure you took your motrin, and get moving around. Your support structure will get your backbone back where it was with a minimal amount of discomfort (read: it'll probably hurt like hell, but it'll hurt a lot worse if you lay around on it). So on the stretching, not just yet. Do that other stuff first and see if you can get fixed up.

Re: Losing Weight with Starscream
Official weigh-in this morning. 222.4, down 2.2 from last week. Gotta quit those mid week jumps on the scale. That 221 earlier in the week had me really pumped. Still can't complain, it's going in the right direction and i'm getting some muscle definition. Who knew there was more than one muscle in the calf?

Re: Losing Weight with Starscream
My weigh-in this morning was really disappointing. I was up 0.4 and I blame it all on the ice cream last night. .
Induction day 1 all over again. |
