They sound inflamed. I would make sure to ice them on a regular basis. That's how my knees get when I overtrain, sometimes after a long run, I can barely walk my knees are so stiff. Which begs the question, why the hell do I still do it? LOL.

Mountain biking and hiking!

I'm the one and only!! I knew it.

Maybe... maybe not. I know what BMR is... and it's also a theory, I might add. But let's just say for the sake of argument I am a little person with a BMR of 850 and I work a desk job, I go home and watch TV every night, and I don't exercise. Would you really think that with BMR of 850 that my TDEE would be almost 150% of…

1200 calories.... I don't get and will probably never understand the whole 1200 calorie mystic. Who determined that? And why 1200? And is it really the same for all human beings everywhere? Say I'm dwarf (or a little person, if you will). My BMR is 850, should I still eat at least 1200 calories according to the almighty…

The thought is that you are already eating at a caloric deficit. You provided all your stats to MFP on your average activity level, weight, height, and goals and it took what calories it would take to maintain that and subtract the correct amount of calories to achieve the weightloss at a rate you selected (i.e. 1lb/week…

Also, isn't it YOUR medical record? I don't know the protocol on that sort of thing but it seems odd to me to charge you to give you something that belongs to you AND you have already paid them to take the records in the first place?

I would do it. But I am a numbers person.

I should add that my diet has improved considerably from September to now. Not that I ate horribly prior to the stagnant weightloss. Before, I generally had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, a cold-cut sandwich for lunch, snacks typically consisted of 100 calorie packs, greek yogurt, pretzels, or an apple, and dinner was…

OvOv, I've added you, you can review my dairy. I have gone up to at least 1g of protein per body weight. Though most of what I have read and understood is 1-1.5g for lean body mass. My lean body mass is current about 95lbs, so at 89g I'm not too far. If you go back to January, time frame, that was when I spent the most…

I'm not sure what your basis is here. I'm not changing everything all the time, in fact, I have been carefully only changing one thing at time (i.e. if I change my work out, I keep the same nutrition method for at least 3-4 weeks, if I change my nutrition, I keep my work out methodology the same for 3-4 weeks). If I don't…

My daily goals are 1420calories, 107carbs, 71fat, 89protein. My dairy is open, if you want peruse. My goal is appearance more than the scale. I understand someone could weigh more, but look better or be more fit. But that's not working for me. I'm convinced from the gains I have made in strength that I have muscle…

My husband and I often go to the gym together and we like to do it that way. And it's not because we want to spend every MINUSCULE moment together. It's because we're both at work 9-10 hours of the day, we sleep 7-8 hours of the day, that leaves a measly 6 hours a day to be in each other's company. And if we went at…

I did Romanian Deadlifts this morning. I weigh 135lbs, 5'4", Female. My highest RDL was 115#, 5 reps. Last time I did regular deadlifts, I think it was 135lbs 5 reps. I think I could do more, but even with a mixed grip I can't keep my grip. Have to work on my forearms!:smile:

I did a try with about the same distance. I tried all three at least a few times. You're biggest hurdle is going to be your transitions, so you need to practice and think through how you are going to do that. My strongest sport was running, so I was glad it was at the end - but my legs were totally gassed after peddling…

Sounds like Veggies, Eggs, and Meat are the only things you're allowed. Are you sure your doctor isn't recommending you go Paleo/Primal? Anyway, search those topics and you will find lots of meals and recipes.

I hate it. But I worked so hard to be able to run a 5K, that I don't ever want to get to a point again where I can't! So I just keeping running, just keep running (sung to the Nemo tune). :o)

Congrats!

Ditto to BlondeToast, you're protein goals should be 1/2 your weight in grams of protein (i.e. 150lb person should consume 75grams of protein/day). You can customize your settings in My Home > Goals > Customize. Otherwise, your balance of macronutrients looks great.

First, open your diary for anyone to see!

Welding titanium is very difficult. You need a highly skilled welder to do this well.

The most accurate way would probably be to get a HRM. Once you have worn it a few times, you will probably get a feel for how many calories you burn. The estimations on this site aren't good for workouts like that.

I think a lot of people find it difficult. But I personally ate 91g of protein (1580 calorie diet) yesterday without a protein shake, I weigh 135lb. So it can be done.

Protein shakes ARE necessary - since most people don't get enough protein in their diet. You should aim to get at least half your body weight in grams of protein everyday - more when you work out (because your caloric goal increases). If you can't get half your body weight in grams of protein in what you are eating, then…

You worked too dang hard to give up now!!! Don't give up. Don't ever give up. Every little bit counts. Take on as much as you can muster and keep adding a little more from there. Don't pressure yourself to go full throttle - if putting on your headphones and going for a walk is all you can stand to do right now, then go…

Thanks!! :smile: I was really hoping building more muscle would help me shed 8-10 pounds that I cannot seem to get rid of, but so far no change in weight (up or down) and not a lot of change in measurements. So I was thinking I might not be progressing in my heavy lifting as well as I should be. I'm firmer (denser) all the…

I'm curious about this too! Just joined this group for this reason, I like to know where I am at comparatively: Start - January 7, 2012 (all are 5 reps) Deadlift - 95# Military Shoulder Press - 25# (each DB) Incline Chest Press - 35# (each DB) Squats (no smith, BB) - 105# This week (all are 5 reps) Deadlift - 145# Military…

Applebees has a light menu. At Red Robin you can get a chicken sandwich without the bun and a side salad, it's good. Otherwise, I go for sushi. The rice is bad, but you can't eat out and win at everything. Same goes for Subway. I can pretty much eat anywhere, but I order special (i.e. ordering an omelet "naked", salad with…

I have this happen too, so I avoid the elliptical. But I read on a post on here once that numb feet are sign that I am not using the elliptical correctly. Here's some suggestions: http://www.livestrong.com/article/369291-the-link-between-numb-feet-elliptical-machines/
