I get this from an elliptical too, but no problems when running. I always thought it was the pressure thing - while it's kinder on your knees because your body weight isn't being jolted through them you still have an awful lot of pressure being pushed through the one part of your body that isn't moving. These days I just…

You should be eating more. If your goal is 1200 then your NET calories for the day should be no less than 1200. If you eat 1200 and burn 1200 it's the equivalent of not eating anything on a day when you have done no exercise. Bodies need a certain amount of calories to do all the things bodies do, e.g. pump blood, breathe,…

What are you, the police?

I'm guessing the diet pills didn't work for you in the past if you have joined MFP, so they are aren't going to work for you now either. You're here now, so do it the healthy way, e.g. eat at a deficit, improve your diet, lose weight.

Well at least you can do something about your weight. As for the ugliness, well plenty of ugly people are quite happy, it just requires you to develop a bit of self-esteem to get over it. But I'm sure you're not ugly, that comes from inside as well as out.

You lost 2lb! Well done! It's a great start, and a healthy loss.

Agreed!

he needs to start pulling his weight around the house. you are not his servant! good luck

Don't you listen to that bull****.

I think you need to set some boundaries. Her making you stand on the scale is fckng outrageous, particularly if she's then using this an an opportunity to criticise you and then put doubt in your head about your relationship. Tell her where to go, that your weight is your issue, and you don't think it's any of her…

Whaaaaat? No way. Punishing yourself is totally defeatist - just aim for the week to break even and if you don't achieve that then please don't start radically restricting your intake to make up for it. Just try better next week.

I'd remove the tags of her and if there are photos of just her and her husband remove those. I don't think you need to remove every single photo though. You could also block her from seeing that album so that she isn't tempted to go in there and see them (also means she can't complain you didn't take them all down).

Benefits of swimming are that it is much easier on your joints than any other cardio exercise, and in order to stay afloat you need to use muscles from all over your body. So yes, a great workout option if you are keen. Depending on your swimming abilities 45 mins could be a challenge to start off with but hell yeah, go…

You look healthy and strong. Your mother doesn't get to dictate your weight.

a healthy BMI. why does it matter?

I hope you asked lots of questions to find out how to fix your liver. Reading that made me laugh, thanks!

Is that 1000-1200 cals Per day net or total? Whichever, it's a really low amount of calories to be eating for 8 months and your metabolism is probably protesting. Read this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/3047-700-calories-a-day-and-not-losing

People who are truly poor tend to come from a background of poverty. They have less education, are less receptive to public health messages and many of them do not know how to cook with basic ingredients. If you show a poor person how to cook good healthy meals they will often continue to feed their families the same crap,…

A pug!

The reason people lose weight when switching to vegetarian diets is because they eradicate many foods that used to provide extra calories into the diet. If you don't want to be vegetarian for for any reason other than to lose weight then you are better off eating a omnivorous diet and tracking calories. It takes work and…

Many of the foods on here don't have potassium listed, however if you are eating a good variety of fruit and vegetables you will likely be getting enough. Google 'food compsition tables' and see if you can find a database where you can look it up manually for different foods if you are interested.

I was going to write this too but you beat me to it. I suspect this is the problem... but a bit of strength training focussing in those areas should help it, as more muscle underneath the fat will firm the area up.

Just do it. Seriously, who cares if someone sees you? Find a field and run around and around it.

Not good if you're trying to snort it like cocaine but great to eat.

The biggest loser contestants are encouraged by the producers to take diuretics, laxatives and do extreme amounts of exercise without even rehydrating before weigh-ins. I'm not surprised they're looking a bit sick. Google 'Kai Hibbard Biggest Loser' to read what really goes on on that show.

I get the same. I've got irritable bowel syndrome and it makes (particularly) running quite difficult at times. Walking is fine but the minute my guts get shaken around with running it sets everything in motion. At least if you are on a treadmill you have easy access to a toilet, right? Some things I've tried and found…
