I unfortunately have the same thing. The stretching is what helps and keep your ankles flexible. I found that when I worn heels during the day that it was actually better the next day in the morning, weird. I think if you wear good shoes during the day when not running this will help. I would also wear running shoes till…

Good luck to you Ron and wow on the 15 miles a week. I'm still trying to work up to 30 minutes of walking three times per week which I'm sure is no where near 15 miles. You will like MFP, its a very supportive group.

Most people are concerned with their cholesterol and sodium intakes because of high blood pressure and heart disease. This is probably why this information is listed but not potassium. Woman should be particularly concerned with calcium and iron, which is why it is probably listed on the food diary. I wouldn't be overly…

I feel your pain. I've been good, counting calories and entering in every bite of food religiously and the scale seems to be stuck. I know I haven't been exercising vigorously, mainly because I have physical limitations but I have been walking purposely 3-4 times per week and not eating the extra calories I burn, at least…

People who are night owls wait for the dawn of a new diet day, why not?

It should only be a problem is your caloric intake for the day is below 1200 calories. Generally after you enter all of the foods you eat for the day and all your exercise you can click on the complete this entry at the bottom of the food diary. There will be a message explaining what you should weigh after five weeks if…

Your going to love myfitnesspal. It is so easy. There are many listing and the calorie and nutrition counts are already done. I've been doing this for almost a month. I won't say that it doesn't have it's moments, but it would be a lot harder if I didn't have the computer and all of the other members database updates.…

I have osteoarthritis in my back and about five years ago ended up in the hospital. It has gotten better since then but I have to say that the pain, when it flares up, can be debilitating. Exercising can be tricky with a bad back. Walking and light weights are the norm. You can also try bike riding or hiking, as long as…

Your BMR is only around 1400 because this is the bare minimum to sustain life. If you were to lie in bed all day and do absolutely nothing you would need this minimum to keep you alive. Of course we all don't lie in bed all day (sounds good though). We move about and even exercise. Your actual caloric needs are probably…

The most important thing to remember is not to beat yourself up over the slip. Food is almost like a drug and carbs can be addicting. Unfortunately, unlike a drug addict you can't quit eating. In some ways drug addicts have it easier, they can quit. When food is your trigger, and man Rockey Road bars taste good, you can't…

Since you are working out so much you are probably replacing fat with muscle. Since muscle weighs more than fat you may not show the type of weight loss you wish. Everyone wants to see the scale go down, myself included, but sometimes you loss nothing for a week yet you stuck to your plan. I say keep up the good work and…

I feel your pain, just ate a cheeseburger because I was STARVING and now I have 173 calories more than I should. Yes I will continue to lose but at a slower pace. Try and emphasize the positive, at least you came back! Yes I will continue to lose weight and how long it takes doesn't matter as long as I stick to it. You…
