      Way to go, Eddie! Hope you recover quickly. Taking grad classes can be rewarding, but definitely eat into available time. Good luck!

      Scott, lol! I wish my body would reflect it, I am still a fatboy, just a stronger one. I guess it will be a year or so, before I become leaner. I am eating right, working out more than ever, but still cant shed the pear shaped body...lol Frustrating to say the least, but I will keep at it until I am at the body shape I desire. I have given up on losing weight, just want to shred the fat! Thanks for the encouragements! Keep them coming, hahahaha!

      Scott, lol! I wish...all that hvy weight isn't yielding the fat loss I desire! I know it takes hard work and time, but I am getting frustrated with my results. I am getting stronger, but would trade strength for fat loss. I know they both worth together, I guess I am just frustrated, but I remain dedicated to my overall fitness, I just hope my knees hold up. I am scaling back my cardio and focusing more on strength training.

      I hear you. About two years ago, I dropped thirty pounds by sweating on the machines in the gym. Started running outside exclusively and gained ten pounds back. Of course, my eating habits changed from smaller to larger sizes when the weigh returned. It's a tough challenge. Best of luck!

      No idea. Sorry. Going low/no-impact sounds like the right plan. Keep burning calories and heal up. Pulling for you.

      Pool running is another alternative until your knee feels better. What does your pace and stride length look like? You want to have a quick, short stride....less time on the ground means less pounding of your joints. You also want to make sure that your muscles are not getting too tight and pulling things out of alignment.

      My pace is getting faster..I have a much smoother stride, I am changing running shoes from NIke to Asics, they just need rest! It only hurts when I full out sprint at 10mph. 4-6 mph there is no pain. I have a much smoother pace at 3.7 mph (really slow) It really hurts when I walk down the stairs, not up! I ordered a Nike Patella strap and compression sleeves..I will see then, in the meantime I will take it easy! THanks all!
