My calves feel fatter?

More then likely paranoid.  depending on what you ate you might just have water gain, if that is the case, its possible that your feet, calves, and ankles will swell.  As far as gaining that much fat over a weekend, I wouldnt worry about that.\n\nOkay heres where I'm about to blow your mind.  If it is water gain, stay away from salt and drink more water to level out

I can relate to how you feel.  At times I get that feeling that my metabolism isn't working and I feel my belly area is experiencing some kind of miscontrol and then I start seeing this belly fat.  Sometimes there is no easy answer, but try to have good eating habits such as eating fruits, vegatable, raw nuts & olive oils, clean proteins (broiled, grilled chicken/fish and eat less red meats, and a lot less junk foods (processed, frozen, etc...read labels).  Drink water most of the time instead of fruit juices, soda (even diet) or alcohol which all contribute to weight gain because of the sugar contents or the so called empty calories from diet drinks.  Try "The Zone" diet (goto zoneperfect.com), you eat normal foods but it's all about portion sizes and sugar level balancing which help you lose weight, burn fat and decrease that feeling in the belly.  Make sure you are getting enough fiber and take a daily multi-vitamin.  Hope this helps.

I don't know...but I have had that situation several times. Normally from doing some different activity. For instance, when I moved at work I thought it would be a good idea (fitness wise) to use the steps more, visiting my friends four floors up. Well, I must have done that 5 times that day, walking up and down the stairs which I had not been doing.\n\nThe next two days my thighs and calves tightened up, hurt like all get out. So maybe this kind of activity started your pains.

elevate your foot and have some one massage it LIGHTLY if you have venous problems it will cause blood clots if rubbed to hard....have you ever seen the commercial with the massaging boots for tired legs? this will work wonders, my sister has used them and it helps

possibly poor circulation?

less body fat will make them show. also when u excersise your veins pump more blood so they get larger.

Not if it is muscle.  I have built calves and haven't been able to slim them down through exercises or machines.  The only time they got smaller is when I was sick and down to 102 lbs but at 122 they are still "sturdy" shall I say.

You need to call a doctor ASAP.  Pain in the calf and swelling of the leg could be Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).  It probably won't be, but it could also be a circulatory or vascular issue that you should have adressed.  Call your personal doctor, ask to speak with a nurse and tell them your symptoms.  They may refer you directly to an urgent care or they will run down a list of questions to 'triage' you and decide when and if you need to come in.  It can't hurt to call if nothing else, for peace of mind.

Are you sure that you just aren't TOO skinny?\n\nI have a tip for skinny people. \n\n"Once you knees are fatter than your legs, it's OK to eat cake again."

You could do calf rasies with just your body weight or holding free weights. Look at the very bottom of this page...\n\nhttp://www.thetrainingstationinc.com/freeweightexercises.html

No, it sounds like you are getting close to being UNDERweight, not overweight!

It sounds like it might be a tendon issue.  Use RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.  If it hasn't started to feel at least a little better within a couple of days, make sure and go to the doctor, you might have to be splinted or use crutches for awhile.  Good luck!

same problems. i started doing lunges and squats. i can tell that my legs are getting slimmer and more muscular (but not in nasty way) all you need to do is set aside 10 minutes day. Do thirty seconds of squats then thirty seconds of lunges. then go up and down on your tippy toes for thirty seconds. then hold the squat postion for 30 seconds. then hold the tippy toes position for 30 seconds. Repeat\n\nit hurts like a mofo while your doing it and it really hurts the next day. But it really really works
