  • Thanks for your input, everyone. I will look into new sneakers. To the person who suggested walking, I have always been a big walker but I am trying to get more fit and burn more calories. Walking doesn't hurt my knees--it's just jogging. I'm also not overweight (21.1 BMI), so that's not what's putting strain on my knees,…

  • I agree with your original post. If you don't eat back all of your exercise calories, you will lose weight faster because you will be at a greater calorie deficit. I try to eat back about half my exercise calories, especially since MFP and workout machines seem to overestimate burns.

  • Most of the people on this site get all of their info from MFP and therefore believe in "starvation mode." Try searching for peer-reviewed articles on PubMed or another scientific database. Don't do your research on MFP! Good luck in meeting your goals!

  • I recently went on a Carnival cruise while trying to lose weight and did well! I ordered room service for breakfast (Raisin Bran and citrus fruits) so that I wouldn't be tempted by the delicious breakfast buffet every morning. For lunch, I made salads at the salad bar and filled up on those veggies first before taking…

  • You might consider buying a used treadmill. I also like someone else's suggestion of using workout DVDs. P.S. To schmoony, as others have pointed out, you are a jerk and you're also just wrong. I'm 5'6'', 137 lbs, and exercise about twice a week, yet I have just started a couch 2 5K program because I have never been a…

  • Either have a few squares of chocolate or try a piece of whole wheat toast with some Nutella, which makes a very filling snack or breakfast. There are 100 calories per tablespoon of Nutella and I find that one tablespoon is just enough for one piece of toast.
