Please don't ask anybody for any advice on this website. Even though they may have good intentions they have no idea what they're talking about and the suggestions they can give may do serious damage to your back. What you want to do is talk to a physical therapist to recommend a workout routine based on your diagnosis

I'll give you my perspective. Lost 80 lb over 8 months been maintaining that weight loss for 10 months. I also have access to scales at work and as part of the learning process I've weighed myself various times during the day and from day-to-day. What you have to remember is you have to set up a range don't go by a…

Maintenance is the learning process that's probably harder than losing weight. Also when you go into maintenance I personally believe that you have to be more accurate and weigh your food more closely than when your losing weight because you have to learn what your maintenance level is. Yes you plug your stats into the app…

Congratulations on your success. There is no right answer there is no wrong answer it's what you feel comfortable at. What you have to remember is weight is just the number yes it does mean something but more importantly when you look at yourself in the mirror you have to like what you see. I'll give you my perspective.…

U really doesn't matter it's something you should just be consistent with. Personally I don't eat after 10 just cuz of my schedule and for me I log the next day when I wake up

Congratulations on your weight loss. Now comes the hard part which is figuring out how to maintain. My suggestion is plug your stats into mfp for maintenance based on your activity level you almost have to be more accurate now as far as weighing and counting calories and see what happens over the next couple weeks. I…

You may not be motivated you just may have reached if you want to call it a burnout phase. If you're happy where you are now why don't you take a break maintain and see how that goes. It took me 8 months to lose approximately 80 lb I've been maintaining that for approximately 10 + months. I decided to take the summer off.…

When I was losing I would weigh myself once or twice a week. Now that I'm in maintenance for almost a year and my weight has been pretty constant I measure basically when I'm in the mood to. I pay more attention to how my clothes fit especially my pants. There are so many factors that can affect your weight. To put things…

Completely agree. Keep on doing what you're doing. Take what both doctor say with a grain of salt cuz weight is a very subjective number. When the first doctor said you're borderline overweight was he referring to BMI index. If he was BMI to meet is playing *kitten*. BMI index is not realistic. I'm 57 year old male 6-4,…

CNN doesn't know what they're talking about. Doesn't matter when you consume calories. I'm not a morning person. my daily calorie goal is proximately 2400 calories. For breakfast I'm about 650 lunch probably around 500. The rest of my calories are eaten after 4. Get home from the gym around 8 or 9 and I'm good for a couple…

Give you my perspective double hip replacement an arthritic knee that needs to be replaced. What you need to see is an orthopedist. The orthopedist will be able to diagnose your condition he can do X-rays and other testing and find out what's going on . A physical therapist will prescribe the exercise and conditioning to…

This is a great attitude. Since I've become aware of calories in calorie counting I played around with a lot of recipes and have experienced a whole new taste and varation of food. It's actually become a game to me what can I make or invent that meets my calorie goals. It only becomes an enjoyable when it controls you. You…

I've been on many diets in my life. I never approached it the right way until last time. When you look at it diet they absolutely suck you give up stuff you like and you're miserable all the time. When you're miserable it's not going to work it has to be a sustainable. I lost 80 lb over 8 months. As crazy as this sounds…

This sums up the slippery slope. Do you charge someone who's a diabetic more. How about a cancer patient. Or do you charge your woman because of the fact that she can have a child which will add increased Health costs including the health cost that child will have over a lifetime. When I was Heavy my doctor used to scratch…

I appreciate where you're coming from. Unfortunately we are Our Own Worst Enemy and we're the last ones to realize the change. I'll give you my perspective. 57 year old male 208 pounds. I lost 80 lb and then maintaining that close to a year. When I look in the mirror I still see the flabby arms and I still have a belly. I…

This sums up BMI perfectly. I'm six foot four current weight is 208. I have a 42 inch chest and a 35 inch waist. According to BMI I'm overweight. For me to have a normal BMI my weight should be between 155 - 205 lb. If I were 155 pounds I'd be a walking skeleton. Also if you look at the BMI index every guy in the NBA is…

Don't know what your Fitness level is but my recommendation is BeachbodyTony Horton DVD. He has a couple different DVDs for beginners there's 10 minute trainer then you can move up to P90 then you have P90x and he has a couple after that. I personally like his philosophy which is do your best and forget the rest. Also he…

You're a special person. As far as recovery and what you can do the most important thing is to let your body recover. To put things in perspective 2 years ago I had a double hip replacement. My appetite was totally depressed I lost about 20 pounds in a month. Part of the rehab was Physical Therapy twice a day but it was…

Please see a doctor. Don't take any advice from anybody on this website. They don't know what they're talking about.

My recommendation is see a doctor. Please don't take any advice from the people on this website. They may have good intentions but without knowing what your condition they can't give intelligent advice. When you say shaking shaking can mean anything it's not a specific term that's why I suggest seeing a doctor

Alright I'm going to be blunt but this is a reality check. Please do not ask anybody on this website 4 their opinion period without knowing your specific condition they may be doing more damage than good even though they believe they're trying to help you. Sometimes doctors can't give you an answer cuz everybody recovers…

You have to find your own personal motivation. It can't be for your kids or your significant other. That why has to be all about you. It has to be totally selfish. Once you find that why it becomes easy and all those other whys take care of themselves.

Please don't stereotype me. I'm 57 years old and I'm more active than 20 and 30 year olds I work with. As far as me I just enjoy it. I can scream and rant and Rave at you all I want but it's going to do me no good. You have to find your own personal why of why you want to do it. Once you find that why the exercise is going…

Give you my background. Lost 80 lb over eight months. To give you my background I have an arthritic knee that needs to be replaced. Since I lost the weight it has gotten easier. I don't have the kind of pain I used to have in my knee my times are faster and I have more stamina. The stamina and speed will increase overtime…

Best advice is to talk to your orthopedic surgeon but more importantly the physical therapist. The physical therapist will give you a workout to strengthen and rebuild your knee. I speak with experience two nice Scopes and a double hip replacement. Two things. Number one follow the workout your physical therapist does and…

The doctor is going to give you the proper diagnosis. Please don't ask anybody on this website for what their opinion is. They have no idea what they're talking about

To lose weight you don't have to exercise. It's just eating less calories than your body consumes every day. You will lose weight As far as a good bike workout my first recommendation is if you hurt your foot did you see your doctor and if you didn't you need to see him. You could wind up doing some serious damage. Once…

Being totally honest with you you need to see Orthopedist to get a diagnosis. Don't ask people for their opinion on this website they don't know what they're talking about

You need to see a doctor. Don't ask anybody on this website for a diagnosis of what they think your condition Maybe.

What you have to remember is the values that mfp gives is based on a large population and everybody's going to react differently. In my opinion maintenance is actually harder than losing the weight because you have to figure out what your body requires and that's going to vary depending on your activity level and how your…
