go to the gym! You're exactly the kind of person who benefits from them - beginner with an injury . Machines are not useless - as long as you are working muscle against sufficient resistance, you can build muscle. I think the real takeaway from those articles is: don't get lulled into a false sense of security just because…

great post. my personal record is 5 lbs after starting lifting and a crapton of salty food, boy did that suck the first time it happened. But now I know to roll with it :smiley: @walking2running : I didn't coolly enter a period of maintenance when I felt mentally 'ready'. I was ignored the signals for awhile. I got…

This sounds like a great idea. After 6 weeks of eating at about 1500/day (about 25% deficit), I was so hungry I felt like an animal. One day I was staring at a photo of a *strawberry* I totally lost it and went on a no-holds barred cheesecake and pizza binge. I decided just to accept it, and over the next few weeks I just…

Please do not trust MFP to track micronutrients. Often times people fill in just calories or macros, and leave stuff like potassium blank , which could lead to the false belief that a particular food contains no potassium or whatnot. Normally I would not care if a random person was trying to use MFP to track…

I'm an Emergency doc. get someone to look at it. If it hasn't stopped bleeding by now, it's most likely because 1) it's in a mobile part of the hand and keeps reopening, or 2) you hit a small artery, or perhaps a combination of above. 3) You could also have some kind of bleeding problem (from meds, genetics, etc). Less…

I do shift work , swing from days to nights and back, so I log based on times. I found that i eat a TON of calories on an overnight, then over the next few days I wind up in a deficit and basically break even over a course of a few days. Logging by time helps me see those kind of patterns (and be less freaked out about…

If you're okay with using your own body weight , and using a DVD , of these 'ballet beautiful' workouts can give your glutes/hamstrings a pretty serious workout without straining the knee. http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RWKOM512TTSCT/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B008F283J0#RWKOM512TTSCT however there…

i too have a pretty serious late night ice cream addiction. I take half a banana, throw it in a bowl with a dollop of peanut butter and mash it just a little so it's still kind of chunky, then warm that in a microwave. Then add 1/4-1/2c cold soymilk on top , voila, half melted PB banana 'ice cream'. Delicious and filling,…

Hi, I'm glad you asked this question. I'm 36 years old, 5'1" and hover around 119 lbs. I back-calculated my TDEE after 12 weeks of faithful calorie and exercise tracking, and was really surprised to find that it falls between 1900-2000 before exercise. During that 12 weeks I ate an average of 1600 net calories, (1820 with…

I get low-moderate intensity exercise at…
