[EarnestKS]

Have been on Atkins for 2 1/2 months and lost 25 lbs to date. Started exercising about the same time. Have been going to the gym twice daily on weekdays and once on the weekend. I do mostly cardio exercises on treadmill, stepper, eliptical crosstrainer (burn 300 cal in 20 mins on this machine). BUT, yesterday I played in a fund raiser softball tournament for some friends of ours who were in a bad accident. My second time at bat is when this nightmare began. I was running to first base and WHAM! I felt something pop in the backside of my thigh and then I couldn't walk after that. Went to the ER in extreme pain-told I have a hamstring pull and I may have even torn the hamstring. I am scared that now I will lose my hard earned muscle and regain all the inches I lost. I am very upset and having a hard time. They tell me the recovery is not a fast one with this type of injury. I have been athletic my whole life and I have never injured myself in this manner before. HELP!!!!!!
Thanks for listening.
