See a doctor. Internet suggestions can cause more problems than what you are experiencing now. Also, hairline fractures don't necessarily result from breaking or rolling ankles. Again, see a doctor.

Just change the calories on your entry to show 1 calorie.

Also, just some basic info if you are completely new to lifting... When there is a reference to 3x5 or 2x5, the first number is the amount of sets and the second number is the amount of reps. So you would do squats with an empty bar 5 times (reps), move on to the next exercise and do that one 5 times (reps), 3rd exercise 5…

I was jogging, but a torn rotator cuff has put me on the sidelines until surgery in July. But once I am recovered, I plan to get back to it. Funny, I hated running/jogging when younger (in the Marine Corps), but now when it's not mandatory, I find I really enjoy it. Oh, and I'm 52. Congrats on the loss!

Macros are your protein, fat, carb amounts. Carbs and protein have 4 calories per gram (I believe), and fat has 9 calories per gram. So when you have a total like 1400 calories, that will give you total grams for each of those each day. Some people track those rather than just calories. Everyone responds differently to the…

You could look on bodybuilding.com and pick a plan they already have until you get comfortable enough to create your own plan. As for the classes, I love them. The energy of the class helps to keep you going. And just remember, all of the people in the class didn't start out tiny. After the 3rd or 4th class you'll realize…

It's natural to be intimidated when first starting something. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks and just do what you go there to do. Nobody starts out as a tank, they had to start somewhere as well. Put some music on and just focus on what you are doing. You could look into New Rules of Lifting for Women. If you've…

Why would your age or birthday be negative? To be honest, this sounds a bit silly.

Are you weighing/measuring everything you eat? It's possible you are eating (and drinking) more than you think. There are lots of opinions on how often we should eat, but if you are actually sticking to 1200 calories a day, then it wouldn't really matter how often you eat.

Don't waste your money. All those diet pills are just scams. Read the small print and they all say the same thing "with diet and exercise". Instead try to figure out just what it is that you are struggling with. Are you bored with your meal plans, is your exercise becoming stale? Is your daily calorie goal too low and you…

If it's still hurting after 3 days, it's time to see a doctor.

You were in the right place. Home>Goals and then there is a link for a guided setup, or you can click on the "edit" link at the top of the calories breakdown section and set them to grams that way. You can also change the total calories in that same location.

Try putting the bbq sauce on the table for them to add to their food. You can then skimp on it or not use it if it doesn't fit into your calorie goal for the day. As for dressing, put that on the side as well and dip your fork into the dressing for each bite. You will end up using less dressing but still have some added…

I love my turkey burgers with zucchini. Served it to my friends while on vacation and they liked them until I told them there was zucchini in them. Suddenly, uh they were ok. SMH.

No food is bad. It just all has to be eaten in moderation. If it fits into your calorie goals, eat bread.

People (my ex) who constantly say they are being the devil's advocate and mentioning the worst case scenario. Thanks for being the total pessimist in the group, you idjit.

Go to My Home>Goals then Change Goals.

Basically it says if you eat every day exactly like today, you would be x lbs lighter than your recorded weight in MFP. And yes, my scale does not agree with MFP.

Weigh your burger before cooking it and use the entry that reflects the raw meat (plus whatever other stuff you put in it) weight. Make sure you use the right fat content of the meat you use 80/20, 93/7, 99/1, etc.

Remember it's a long journey. And read the sticky in the Getting Started forum about Sexy Pants. Lots and lots of good information.

You could check out Bodybuilding.com and search for weight training plans. They have plans and examples of all the exercises and you can modify it as you need to.

All you can do is go forward. Stop the negative thoughts of "look where I am now" and start thinking "this is where I want to go". And yes, there are likely a lot of us with bad body days. It happens. But you can take control and when the negative thoughts start, consciously stop them and turn it into a positive thought.…

You've lost 4 lbs in less than 2 weeks! That's not a failure, that's success. We all want to lose it all quickly, but in the end, it's better to lose the weight in a way that is sustainable. You say you've managed a calorie deficit at 1200/day. That's really restrictive. Are you going to be able to continue to eat at 1200…

You can use the Strength Training under the Cardio option to get calories. But because everyone lifts at different levels and starts at different fitness levels, it will be subjective.

Sweat dries, Blood clots, bones heal. Suck it up, Princess!

Under the Getting Started forum, there is a post "A guide to get you started on the path to your Sexypants". Read it, it has a lot of really great information.

^^What they said. Also, are you sure you have the right calorie goal set?

Manually enter a new cardio exercise. As for calorie burn, MFP do it. If you wear a heart rate monitor, you can manually enter your calories burned as well. Otherwise, it's an unreliable calorie burn to estimate.
