5 - 10 pounds in a week isn't really that hard to do. I have had to cut alot more in that amout of time before I had never missed weight. Run, whatch your food intake, stick to low fat high protien, and drink water. It is really important that you do not dehydrate yourself when your cutting weight, if you do you will make weight but feel like crap on the mat. Have you thought of going up a class in weight? You might find you feel better at a slightly higher weight.

I'm currently recovering from a fractured rib myself. I kept traing on it for 2 weeks and it hurt like heck all the time. So I took 3 weeks off, and just started back last week going light and slow. Only doing 2 classes a week right now till I'm 100%. I'm feeling pretty good now though. I only feel it when get up fast from being on my back/gaurd. I took an extra calcium supplement x2 a day and applied heat to it every day. Good luck, I know it sucks to not be able to train.

Start running if you are not already. St. Johns Wort works also. You have to take it for a bit before you start to notice the effects though. But it has worked for me.

Learning to keep your young pride in check is part of growing up. You are in a situation that you don't have to be, but choose to be. There is so much bad and very little good that will come of this.

Hello all, I'm just really getting into MA. I take Jukado 3 x week with one or two Karate classes a week. I'm focusing more on the Jukado but I learn alot of the stand up stuff from Karate. I have only been into it for a few month's now but should be testing for yellow in both soon. Anyways.....Hi to everyone. I have been a lurker for some time, this is a great board and glad to be here.
