2 year stupor….regretted!?

I’m ashamed to admit after being active, I am now a lazy person. I’m a waitress, and also a black belt in taekwondo. However I haven’t been back in 2 years and you sure can tell! I’ve had a very stressful 2 years(marriage, moving 3 times in a 2 month period, and hosts of other “issues”), I have gained about 20 pounds(I had 10 pound of muscle when I was healthy but I think now that’s liquified to fat) Right now I have NO exercise routine. I have a lot of pressure in my spine, so sit ups are difficult for me, and my midsection is the part that is suffering. I’m starting to cut out caffiene and soft drinks. I’m considering going back to class once a week but it isn’t very motivational for me anymore, I would rather do kickboxing but its not offered around here. I’m 21, anemic, and depressed because of my situation. I feel pathetic, as I should, but I never lost weight(or inches) in taekwondo and I was in good shape! I just want to lose inches(not weight necessarily)! Any advice? Thanks!
I do like to walk or jog, I have no motivation by myself usually, but it is winter. I like to lift free weights.
I’m 5’4 and 145, I’m used to weighing around 125-130(depending on what exercise routine I was in), weightlifting I weighed around 125, TKD I weighed 130….and then…AWWW!!!

Guys 15-18:Do you like girls who do martial arts?

I was jw because I am a 15 year old girl who is a 2nd degree blackbelt in taekwondo and I was wondering if guys liked girls that did that!! I mean I am still really girly I just do martial arts because I like it alot and it is so much fun!!: )

If I eat 1000 calories a day how much weight can I lose?

I’m 28 yrs old. I recently had a baby over a year ago. My weight has gone up so much. I cry sometimes just looking at my body. I’m 5’5″ and 189lbs.

My measurements are:

Breast 38
Waist 40
Hips 49
Thighs 32

I want to lose 2″ from my breast, 8″ from my waist 9″ from my hips and 10″ from my thighs.

I am currently doing weight watchers and the elliptical 30 min 3 days a week. If I cut my fat grams to 25 and my calories to 1000 do you think that I can lose 50 lbs by July 1st? I also do 25 sit ups a day and some light weights. My upper stomach, upper thighs and buttocks are the worst.

How will Pilates help me if I did it? My core is soooo weak, that is why I can only do 25 full sit ups a day so far.

I’d appreciate any suggestions, thank you.

I think my friend’s 10 year old son broke his big toe, read the story for more details and to enter your input

My friend just got her kids back out of foster care in Jan 06, the kids were ages 8 and 10. Well, the kids were taken for “dirty house” issues. My friend has cleaned her house and is doing great! Well, the other day while she was napping, the 10 year old was playing with the 8 year old in the middle of the den. According to the 10 year old, he was gonna karate kick his 8 year old bro, the 8 year old drawed up his knee to his stomach, like a crouching position in self defense, (to block the kick) well the older boys foot hit the knee and they heard a small pop, and the older boy went crying to his mom. she felt it was broke and had her neighbor (a veteran 22 year R.N) to look at it. She thought it was broke too, but said that they don’t usually put cast on, the only thing a doc could do is make a diagnosis and administer pain medicine. My friend is scared to take the boy to the hospital because of past dealings with Child Protective Services, they just left her alone. What can she do?!!
The boy is able to walk on it and isn’t in any big pain as long as he doesn’t put too much pressure on his toe. he has been going to school and is doing good.

What is the difference between Karate and Taekwondo?

I’m trying to find out what the differences are so I can make my decision on which is best for me and my 3 year old daughter. I’ve been looking at schools but I don’t know what the differences in the types of martial arts are. Thank you all for you time.
