The pain started after. When i asked my doctor about it, she was just happy that I was moving around, so just know that you absolutely can walk as much as you want, and the doctor should stress to you that they need you moving around. She also didn't say whether she had heard about the pain happening to anyone else, but…

I had a stellar radiologist. You have to do your homework to make sure you get a provider skilled in this area. There are adverse effects for every invasive procedure you get.

So, it was an interesting recovery. you are sort of in this drug induced but conscious state during the whole procedure. Yes, they kept me in the hospital until about 9 am the next morning on a morphine pump that I could hit every 10 minutes. it was kind of crazy. I was so high by the time I got home and the next night…

I underwent a uterine artery embolization this past December, as I had a uterus the size of a 16 week pregnancy. There were many in there, and many were large, so they could not take my uterus out laparoscopically. The OBGYN suggested I look into this, and I was an ideal candidate. I could feel them when I put pressure on…

I do have a fitness device, but the numbers on this calculation for calories burned is less than what the calculation gave me for 14 miles. I will always go with the least amount burned. I just have to be comfortable in eating all those calories back.

Thanks all. I like this formula and the thought of starting with eating 50% back. When I up my mileage to 8 or more miles, I really feel the hunger come on. I do have a lot of ultra runner friends (which is how I have gotten sucked into this desire to run this distance), but none of them are trying to lose weight. I am…

I didn't use metric measurement. I used miles and pounds when I did the calculation.

Yes, I do have a fitbit. I guess, after being on a pretty strict 1500 calories, I am hesitant to have fitbit tell me how many calories to eat. I do, though, for my longer runs stay at a steady HR, so I know fitbit is pretty accurate when it comes to my steady long runs. Yes, I did say 50K. It does sound like a lot. I have…

Alcohol, I admit, is my biggest obstacle. This past weekend though was the first time in a month that I really indulged. The most I had let myself have was a glass of wine on the weekend. I'm interested in learning more about this TDEE, so I'm going to join this group. It's just so frustrating. I do think I eat a healthy…

Okay - will do. I'm 40 and I'm 5'3 and 3/4 and I'm weighing between 140 and 142

When I log 386 for circuit training it's for a crossfit workout that incorporates a lot of running. Even if MFP says I burned a huge amount of calories, I still keep my calories at 1500. I didn't log last thursday - went to the fair (actually didn't eat anything crazy, but just didn't log), and I'm really working on…

This is me too! We are also homebrewers! But, I have managed to stay off beer for the last two weeks, and I'm going to make it through one more weekend, I swear! I also had lost five, and then injured my shoulder and was traveling for work all through May which, of course, led to sitting at the bar at the hotel drinking…

tortilla chips and dips - guacamole, salsa, processed cheese dip (gross!) craft beers - and I mean the really high calorie/high alcohol content ones

I love these ideas1 I'm going to start the squat in the bathroom. I've just started walking two miles during my lunch hour at least 3 days per week.

I have these 10 to 12 pesky pounds I want to get rid of, and it really seems like what is holding me back the most is beer. :-( I really don't know how I can have any until I get these off. IT's hard enough without beer, and I am a total beer lover/snob, and Friday comes around, and the thought in my head is dinner and…

Yes, and we are going to a winery this weekend to celebrate our anniversary, but it'll be fine. It will be my one cheat day, and I have a workout coming that morning before we leave.

I just ordered an Polar Ft4 after I did a search here on MFP. It seems like it's a perfect one to start with, and totally affordable. It will be here Thursday. I'm so looking forward to my workout Thursday!

I'll be 41 in August. No idea where the years have gone, and I certainly don't feel it. I'm looking for support and motivation to get this pesky 12 pounds off me for a fabulous trip to Maui at the end of August.

Hi there, I'm in the same boat. I'm 5'3, and I weight 140 (I have gained five pounds in the past few months due to a shoulder injury and lots of work travel). I'm pretty bummed in this point, as last year at this time I was around 135. My shoulder is pretty much healed, and I'm back to my workouts which include yoga,…
