  • This happened to my husband but was actually hypertension(high blood pressure). He is a serious power lifter and cross fit enthusiast without a lot of fat. Not the typical body type associated with hypertension but he had to be treated or give up lifting. Now many things can cause headaches from lifting but be sure to…
  • Saucony or Nike zoom are the best shoes I’ve found when walking 8-10 miles per day. Memory foam shoes cushion but don’t firmly support the arches in your feet which messes up how your weight is distributed on your feet often causing heel pain. It took me months of trial and error to find what worked best for my feet but I…
  • Weigh in:Sunday PW:164.4 CW:163.8 This weeks totally 7 days step count: 28,560
  • Sunday weigh in: PW:165.8 CW:164.4 For exercise I’m doing 20min stair climber setting 4 & 20 minutes treadmill on setting 3.0. Sorry my posting hasn’t been better. I just got a new phone & switched networks to Verizon due to some serious T-Mobile network issues in my area so hopefully it’s smooth sailing going forward. I’m…
  • My step pledge is 10minutes stair climber & 20 minutes treadmill. My current weight is 165.9. My previous weight is 169.9. My goal is to lose between 4-8 lbs per month until I reach 140lbs. I would also like to be consistent with my journey at the gym. I'm happily married. I live in WA state. I have 1 almost 11 year old…
  • MFP over calculates exercise calories. Try logging your exercise calories as 1 calorie work outs and see if that stops the weightloss stall. When I was eating back my exercise calories I definitely went into maintenence for months (about a year) and I nearly gave up.
  • Beverly2Hansen Sunday (weigh in) Start weight 169.4lbs(Feb 14) Current weight 168.0lbs(today)
  • I relate to this a lot. For me it's different because I'm doing it for myself which has never been true until now. I'm realizing my man doesn't seem to find me unattractive as I fluctuate the same 20lbs but I feel like dirt the more of that same 20lbs I gain back. I want to feel light and energetic again so I want to work…
  • So my weight stayed the same until I stopped eating back my exercise calories. Sometimes MFP seriously over estimates burns. I suggest you customize exercises and add them as burning 1 calorie so that you don't get over estimations. Then if you feel you're losing weight too fast after 2-3 weeks you can up the calories for…
  • Social media is typically fake. Look at Instagram model pics vs reality. When people use social media to make connections what they put out and receive is not true reality. I think people eating healthy and get in shape notice obesity more. So you're hyper sensitive to she obviously doesn't eat 200cal meals 3x per day.…
  • I listen to him before I look. I like smooth voices before all else. Tattoos and piercings are awesome. I like broad shoulders and manly hands. I prefer average height(but tall is okay). I think glasses are attractive although not mandatory. I like strong with a little bit of cushion. I've noticed I really like red beards…
  • I did 2lbs per week and exercised a ton. I ate back my exercise and for 1 year hated my life. It turned out MFP over estimated my exercise calories and I needed to double check food labels with calorie count listed here for accuracy. So what I decided to do was manually add a calorie goal 1500ish I'm 5'5" F 150lbs ballpark…
  • If you're making a point to eat more dairy in your diet it's one of the leading causes of acne. For me curing what was extreme acne was as simple as going dairy free or at least reducing my dairy intake.
  • In the parents line picking up their kids I want to be one of the attractive moms that still has it even though I'm almost 30 with a 9yr old daughter.
  • When I ramped up my exercise and lowered my calories it took me 3 weeks before I began losing weight normally.
  • So are you eating 1500 without eating back exercise calories? Because if you eat 1500+ 400 exercise calories in most cases for your height that's maintenance calories even with exercise. I plateaued for nearly 2 years by eating back my exercise at 5'5". If I drop to 1500calories and don't eat back exercise calories I begin…
  • With exercise I tell myself I'll shorten the walk to about 50% if I'm unable to keep it up. I don't actually end up working out less once I start I'm able to complete unless I'm very sick. With food I struggle. Right now I'm just telling myself that's my real battle not a workout. I have begun drinking tea which really…
  • 5 lbs beneath my goal weight is usually my preference. So say I want to be my idea of the perfect weight. I would prefer to weight that at night so I need wiggle room from morning to evening or it's not possible. I don't want to barely touch down at my goal weight once per day and struggle to keep it I want to firmly live…
  • First off building your legs takes time and a lot of effort. It will probably take somewhere around 6 months to see the type of results you're looking for in that alone. First my advice is be realistic about how much you can do right now. A lot of people overshoot and can't sustain leg building exercises. I have seen the…
  • Yes I have heel, arch and ankle pain daily in my right foot. I use a foot brace, muscle rub and stretches.
  • My arch and ankle got injured by a 5 mile walk in ill fitting shoes. It's been months and while I started wearing different shoes the injury is still here despite an arch and ankle brace, massager and stretches. I'm thinking I may actually need an evaluation.
  • I save my days off for injury or illness. I walk in place while watching TV on some of my days off too so I prefer to stay active rest day over full blown rest day.
  • I plateaued when I used Fitbit and ate back my exercise calories for 2 years. What I found was that to lose weight I had to up my daily calories while active to 1700 and not eat back exercise calories. I think that's why so many people say only eat back 25% of what Fitbit gives you.
  • Well find exercise you enjoy. Roller skating, swimming, kayaking and walking can all be exercise or ways to have a lot of fun. Personally I really crave enjoyable fitness. When it comes to losing fat though my diet is more important. I will never outrun my fork but I'm surprisingly fit under my chub.
  • My daughter is dairy intolerant which is a step above just lactose intolerant however no goat cheese causes her problems. Its something worth trying IMO.
  • First things first start logging your food and eat in a deficit while also doing your normal work routine for about 2 weeks. That should help you regain some of your activity. Then once existing isn't kicking your but you can worry about increasing activity.
  • In answer to the question about my dad: He's currently stable. It's early to tell how he's going to recover from the right leg blood clot and infection. We made progress in that he's no longer reacting to the blood thinner he's on and he's on antibiotics. The leg, ankle and foot appear to be less swollen in the bottom but…
  • Yes please, as of yesterday I'm back full force.
  • I would use this if I had the skills to build it.
  • My weigh in is 144.4lbs which has stayed the same for about 2 weeks give or take. My steps are 16,287. My water intake was 2liters and I did manage to eat within my deficit.
