My ankles hurt!

I can't wait to be thin and be able to do all the things fit people do without having fat people side effects- like sore ankles. Boooo!

I love that my sleeve is making magic happen and getting weight off, and I want to help the little wormy (what I call my sleeve) out by excersizing as much as possible, but my big butt is too much for my teeny ankles. It's a sad sight.

I totally have the tiny calf/ankle syndrome and can't wait for it to "even out" hopefully one day. It probably doesn't help that my excersize is basically all spin classes which stress out my ankles when standing on the bike... maybe today I'll take the extra time and swim in the pool at the gym instead. *hate swimming* 

Thanks for letting me vent friends.

Diana, try some exercises that will strenghten your ankles while you are sitting. Like flexing your feet and holding it for 10 seconds in each direction. Don't give up, you have arms that need exercise too and the more muscle you have, the more fat it burns without even trying. Be patient and enjoy this wild ride. Before you know it, you'll hit your goal.

Try water aerobics. I do them 4-8 times a week and it helps. I am top heavy and very unco-ordinated but under water it seems so much easier.

I like the spin classes too.  The instructor keeps me motivated and pushes me to do more than i would on my own, but it kills my feet/ankles if i do it too often.  I also have this all or nothing attitude.  The mix up of activity is good for your body, and hleps prevent boredom.
