There is even salt in packaged spinach an kale due to the fact its washed in salt. When reading labels make sure to account for the number of servings as well since it may seem low though once you start adding the servings its insane.

Have your thyroid checked to make sure its not under active if you have not already. If you have an its normal then try an eat more or do less exercise if your doing a lot.

Ask the server normal they have a break down of calories

Grab a heating pad an try an do better the following day

Figure if your going to go with out worries of calories why not go all out.

Worst experience // advice going to a registered nurse dietitian an the lady not taking into account my exercise or how active i am. The real sad part is how much damage she will due giving that type of advice to others.

I do not have any petty reasons just one reason to be alive i have already been down the other road.

I have found that when my back was hurting walking helped with discomfit having two slip discs.

Try working on your endurance with walking between an taking short breaks or setting the mph a bit lower.

Happy Thursday have a great day an keep up the great progress your making at changing your life one day at a time for the better.

Frozen is cheaper normal an fresh is healthier so it will depend on what you can afford an how much time you want to invest.

Resting with heating pad on my shoulder

Hope everyone had an awesome day happy bday

@AnnPT77 In my honest opinion i wish my arms looked like VUA21 though it looks more like melted skin with stretch marks. After surgery i lost all my strength in my my arms an legs i am unsure how or why this happen though i am guessing that the removal of many different organs caused my body to shut down in a way. A long…

@JorrunFulhelm thank you i was close to 400 an got down to 160 though with help with MFP i have been able to gain some weight at moment my weight stays around 170-175. The toughest part i have is making sure to eat enough for the cardo i am doing.

@VUA21 thank you for the advice i will ask about compression tights. As for staying hydrated i drink only water now i gave up coffee an soda to protect my kidneys an the only thing i drink other then water is coconut water after doing any type of excess exercise to help with potassium an electrolytes. I am just glad that…

@UA21 Yes i currently wear compression socks to prevent a DVT so i know how much of a pain they can be. @AnnPT77 i know what you mean because some of my skin is in the wrinkle stage where there is no underline fat its just the skin has turned more into slime. My BMI went to under weight prior to joining MFP my weight has…

@AnnPT77 thank you for your guidance much appreciated i do not expect things to happen over night or things to be easy i have already gone from being parallelized to walking after my stage 4 surgery so i realize an understand nothing comes easy. @mjbnj0001 thank you for taking the time its much appreciated @Cherimoose Yes…

Afternoon hope everyone is having a great Monday meeting there goals an progressing into a healthier life style.

Good morning an happy Sunday hopeful every one had a positive progressive week an are obtaining an reaching there goals.

Sounds like being depressed an non motivated plus it does not help the way over weight people are treated in this world. Having lost 200lbs i can understand both sides of the coin. Exercise an proper diet will help put you into a positive progressive path an hopeful the mind will follow.

To be honest if it was more then $10 a month it would not be worth it with the lack of classes an lack of equipment though at $10 a month i can justify the cost since i use it for cardo an do weights at home.

Do you keep pushing yourself to new limits each day or do you just stay in the same pattern ?

I have been where you are in the past. Walking helps a lot as does doing planks as you become stronger try using very low weights an its Safer using machines then free weights less chance of making things worse.

New balance since there is a store outlet close to my home an there good quality shoes.

At the moment i have decided to just input my activity's into MFP manual an allow MFP to calculate the calories burned i just hope that i do not lose to much muscle doing it this way though only time will tell.

The base amount of calories i need to eat at active is 2420 when i log my steps i have a surplus of close to 2k an a total of 4k+ which is what i am required to eat. So on my MFP dashboard it will show 2420 - Exercise +2000 = 4,420 This is after i sync fitbit to MFP an allow MFP to calculate the surplus based on the…

My guess is that MFP most active setting will not account for walking more then 5 miles at a time. Yesterday i went to the gym an when i added my activity's for only one hour of activity i was given 800 calories. The time before that when i spent two hours at the gym it accounted for well over 1k+ calories. So i can truly…

I tried eating 4k calories a few days i burned over 1k+ calories though i felt worse doing so.

If you find out what caused it please let me know since i have had similar problem in the past.
