ENFP The Inspirer As an ENFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system. ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people,…

Your profile indicates you joined MFP this month. Today is the 13th day of the month, so if you've lost 7 pounds in 13 days, that's over 2 pounds per week; pretty good I would say. Also, your profile indicates you put on 100 pounds over 9 years. You've lost 7% (nearly 10%) of that weight in 13 days! Again, pretty good if…

Get chocolate protein shakes, do your workout and then enjoy a chocolate shake for recovery.

Does the university have a gym? Most do (in the states anyway) and it's included in the cost of tuition. If not, bicycling, doing the stairs in your dorm or apartment building etc...

I have gone down 40 pounds and the main thing I've done exercisewise is just walking on the treadmill for an hour at a time, using intervals. 2 minutes at about 5.5%, 3.5 mph and 6 minutes at about 6.5% grade, 3.7 mph. I've built up to the % of incline so start at say 2% and 3% and work your way up. Don't overdo the…

I say bring the salad and eat mostly that if you dig salad. Feel free to have a small portion of each dessert (a couple bites of something is enough to enjoy the taste) or else get a full size serving of one dessert and skip the rest (make sure you pick your favorite). And if there are two in a week, I think you're well…

I'm all too familiar with the "we only see this in people 10 years older than you" comments from the Dr. I had partial discectomy done a little over a year ago on l4-l5. I still have stenosis in l2-3 and l3-4, but they weren't causing any symptoms so we left them alone for now. I got most of the feeling back in my right…

More protein = more muscle if you're working out. It also suppresses your appetite for longer. I think the percentage of protein allowed in the measurements is too low personally. I'm sure the real answer is that there isn't a one size fits all answer. If I ate the little protein mfp says I should have and I ate all the…

If it's not monitoring your heart rate the whole time, it's just guessing based on the amount of steps what the intensity is. I just got the Polar FT4 for father's day today and it seems to work really well. It has the chest strap though and yes you need to wet the chest strap before you put it on.

I've had back problems for years and a couple surgeries as well. Walking has been working for me and I was told that walking with an incline of at least 2% will help take some of the pressure off the lower back when walking so he could try that. The other thing that's really important is flexibility. His symptoms sound all…

Try drinking gatorade about 20-30 minutes before your workout and just after as well. It specializes in replenishing your sodium level.

Set up your goals and then stay within the calories that the site allows and you will lose weight, The exercise will allow you to eat more or increase your calorie deficit, but it is not required to lose the weight, at least not at first. I've lost 17.8 pounds in 7 weeks using this site. I also have a desk job and get…
