Losing weight without exercise.
I fell on the treadmill Monday night and I scraped both of my knees pretty badly. I was in a groove with my exercise and now I can't really do much of anything. I can do some upper body stuff, but no cardio or lower body. I don't want to ruin all the hard work I have done in the past few weeks. I am working really hard on…

My rear end
My butt, even as a skinny chick, has always been very FLAT. :sad: Currently, it is W-I-D-E and flat, but still flat. As I lose weight, I'd love to get a nice, curvy and shapely rear end. I'm talking, the closer to Kim Kardassshian, the better (withoug surgery, of course). Anybody have any tips on how to get some junk into…

Any helpful hints to lose about 15 lbs in 6-7 weeks?
According to my profile recommendation I need about 1500 calories a day to lose 2 lbs a week. Any tips to kick start the weight loss?

Something is wrong...
I have not lost a single pound over the last month, and in fact, the scale has crept up 1.5 lbs. Prior to this month, I was being naughty and eating only 1000 cals (suggested for me is 1200). I lost weight for a while doing this, but then it just stalled out completely. So I thought I would do as this site suggests and…

Guess-timating Calories Heads up
From being on many diets and reading many labels I found that I can guess-timate calories pretty well. And know many staples like fruits, veggies, some snacks off by heart. And I just want to say that be aware many of the submissions on the site are a little off, so if something looks too good to be true, or too…

Curse of Curves
I have kind of an awkward dilemma, but I was wondering if anyone could answer this question. :blushing: I don't really think that I am fat, I am just extremely curvy for my size. I have a really small waist, but large hips and thighs and a D cup. My problem is that every time I try to lose weight, all that happens is my…

Racing heart????
Hi MFP Friends.... Sunday night I awoke at 4:00 a.m. because I could feel my heart pounding - I was almost out of breath, sweaty, and counted my heart rate at 130 bpm!!! It stayed high for a few hours, and then dropped for most of the day to 100 bpm, which is still really high for me. My resting rate is around 60, and my…

So yesterday I was eating vegetables all day... and doing really well on Calories! My fiance wanted to go out to dinner last night and I aggreed... for appetizers I had 3 potstickers... didn't sound so bad to me... I wish I had entered in what I was going to eat before, because I didn't realize how many calories it had 3…

exercising while sick...?
I'm feeling a cold coming on today, and have been battling a sore throat since yesterday morning. I'm low on energy, but still feel like I could work out (I didn't yesterday because I was feeling super icky). Is there any truth to the "sweating out the virus" myth? I'm thinking a good cardio workout might help me kick my…

I give up
I just can't seem to get past 215. I lose it, and then I go right back up to 220. I feel like weight loss is just going to evade me while in school. I can't keep a regular workout routine (and it it isn't a routine, I have a hard time doing it). I'm just so frustrated. :ohwell:

Totally F'd Up Yesterday!
:mad: So I just joined three days ago and was doing pretty well and then yesterday I thought I would have some subway because I've seen the commercials saying it's so good for you. So for dinner I got a foot long on the oat bread, only veggies, provolone and the fat free honey mustard and the dinner came to 630 calories!…

HRM
Can polar HRM be "off?" I am asking because I just finshed working out to my step aerobics tape using a 10-inch bench height and I was DRENCHED in sweat, like I had just stepped out of a shower or a swimming pool. And according to my HRM, it only said I burned 369 calories?? It sure felt like I burned more than that based…

Exercise Calories
I have a question regarding the calories you need to eat to kind of make up for exercising. The journal adds calories to my food diary saying that I need to eat more. I usual run for an hour everyday, so I am burning around 550-600 calories...am I really supposed to eat 1700 calories a day? Thanks!

I'm out
So, I've been giving this a lot of thought, and because of a lot of different factors, I have decided to delete my MFP account. I could give you many many reasons, but mainly it's because of 2. the first reason being that I no longer use the site for dietary reasons, and haven't for quite some time, as I don't really need…

Help for my particular body type?
Hello all. :3 I'm new to this website, so I just wanted to introduce myself. But putting it into the "Introduce Yourself" thread, and then creating another one here seemed a little counter-productive. So. Down to business. I've been going to the gym about 3-5 times a week for the past four weeks or so, and I've lost about…
