Freak early a.m. insomnia after any lifting - any ideas??
Hello all! New here but at the end of my rope, thanks in advance for taking a look... As of maybe 2 years ago (I'm 33 now) I realized I was no longer able to sleep through the night if I did any kind of resistance training / muscle work. I can't even do just 20 pushups now without my body suddenly waking fully wired…

Workout and Dinner times
I get home from work around 5:30 pm. I usually work out first then I cook dinner which puts me eating around 8pm. Very slowly I can tell my clothes are getting looser but I'm wondering if I would have better results if I cooked and ate first, let it digest, then worked out so I don't have so much food on my stomach late in…

Working out without shoes on.
So I'm wondering if it is a bad idea that I work out without my shoes on. I do workout videos and I usually wont wear shoes, but if I am on my eliptical I will wear my shoes. Im just wondering if it is going to become a problem later since I used to have knee problems? The only reason I do it is because I feel it's a…

Am I not eating enough. A little lost

I’m currently at 148lb, I’m 5’5 and my body fat percentage is 32% I’m working out mainly doing home circuit training 4 days a week and doing cardio two times a week. I’ve calculated my Apple Watch information which says that my resting energy…

I'm back, and happy
Hiya all. I posted some time in January that my scale was acting up and it looked like I wasn't losing any weight. I kicked out the old (and as it turned out inside very corroded) scale and bought a new one. Which is working fine. Though it might display weight a tiny bit lower. Difficult to say. My starting weight was…

flabby arms struggle
I started my weight loss journey late February of this year and I managed to lose 21 lbs and reach my goal weight of 120 lbs. However, I still have some fat on my underarms and it has been frustrating because I've been doing cardio and strength training 6x a week and I have seen little to no changes to my arms. I started…

Does eyesight improve with weight loss?
I experienced something odd today. I've had a mild astigmatism since my first eye exam as a teenager, but didn't need glasses until my 30's, which was also when I started gaining weight. I was also told when I got my glasses that I was nearsighted. I just wear my glasses for driving and shopping, because I see fine unless…

Idiot question
When setting my goals I say I will do 3/50min brisk walks per week ...can I ask only when I do more than that do I add that exercise into my calorie for that day ? Hope that makes sense

Please bear with me..
Please bear with me while I explain my situation and confusion. This may be glaringly obvious to more experienced people but I’m clueless. I have gained almost 2 stone over the quarantine period and have just split my second pair of jeans. It’s time to do something about it. Two weeks ago, I started logging my food on…

Getting Fed Up ! No weightloss working out!
So its been 6 weeks of excercise, watching calories and eating some of excercise calories over weekend ..and not a pound lost. Seems like if I workout my weightloss stalls and if I just diet the scales goes down. I eat clean most of the time about 1400 calories a day. I would go stir crazy if i could not workout ...so what…

Glitches?
I went through my food diary and deleted a whole bunch of foods. Now, whenever I go to enter my coffee/milk/sugar, I have to add it every single time because it's not being saved. Another thing that's not working for me is I cannot go back to see previous pages on some of the topics, such as this general health, fitness…

Any folks losing weight who can't really get much exercise?
Just started back on MFP (5 days ago) after gaining 32 lbs. I have always loved walking for my exercise (especially in this beautiful spring weather here in New England!) However, I just found out yesterday that I'd have to wear a walking boot for 4-6 weeks because of an injured achilles tendon- no walking, bike riding, or…

Question on rate of weight loss as you approach "ideal" weight
I'm 42 (F), 5 foot 9 inches. SW: 245 CW: 202 According to the online calculators my ideal weight range is somewhere between 130-169. So, I am currently ~30 pounds away from even ENTERING my ideal weight range. Is losing 1 lb a week at this stage realistic? My weight loss seems to have slowed to about 1/2 pound a week, and…

Injury help/opinion
Whenever I start a run the first step on my right foot always causes a sharp pain in my ankle. It usually goes away after the first couple steps. Yesterday it barely dulled and ever since both of my ankles have felt sore and somewhat stiff (the right one feels much worse). It hurts to rotate/stretch them too much with most…

What to do with a broken metabolism

I'm 5'11, 175ish pounds, college brat and workout with weights 6 times a week. But I still take the same amount roughly of steps a day. However, this was all good and I was losing weight…

Drinking calories
Ive been looking over my calories consumed this past week and I have noticed I drink a significant amount of my calories. I want to cut out those calories and replace them with food.

Intermittent fasting
I started IF two weeks ago on glucose fuel system, didn’t lose anything but it does reset your genes and hormones and gives your organs a rest especially your liver pancreas where all of your chemical reactions take place so it’s about being kind to your body but now I started ketogenic diet and because I’m running on…

When will it stop aching?!?!
Recently have started a walking program around my new neighborhood. Nothing crazy, just trying to hit 10k steps a day. I am not used to hills, my butt is not used to hills, my thighs are not used to hills. How long will it take for my legs and *kitten* to stop feeling like jelly so that I actually want to go out?

Low iron
Had several blood tests over the past couple years all indicating low hemoglobin. It seems every time I cut calories, it goes down more. I eat a good amount of spinach to increase iron levels, is there anything else I could add without dramatically increasing calories? Iron supplements make me feel sick, so I really don't…

Intermittent fasting vs calorie counting for women
I tried intermittent fasting before and hated it I am on a deficit and it’s easy for me to count calories. But I’m just wondering if there’s really a difference or even a point in intermittent fasting as all you’re doing is trying to reduce calories either way except if you don’t track with fasting you could overeat anyway

Kidney stone makers
I’m new here but just wondered if there is anyone that has a kidney stone issue. When I do diets, I often get stones and thought it would be good to network with others for snack suggestions, etc
