  • Thanks for your reply. I don’t feel like I need to eat the extra calories but I eat the 1350 allotted to me based on my stats and aim at 1.5to 2 pounds a week. My last walk clocked me in at 1000 calories which I know is way more than Incould have burned, but say it was just 500, thatnhas my body running on only 850…
    in Should I eat my calories gained through exercise? Comment by charpat58 March 2018
  • I am not an expert but I am journeying the same road. I find the biggest thing for me is to log EVERYTHING that goes into my mouth. I wasn’t eating my exercise calories but someone responded to a post of mine and suggested that she uses her exercise calories to treat herself. I really like that idea. I walk a lot and when…
    in Cardio vs weight training to loose weight?!?! Comment by charpat58 March 2018
  • I have had the similar symptoms for a couple of years. I have come to the conclusion (with consultation with physio and massage therapists) that it is from tight hip flexors. I use a roller on my thigh and gluteus and do a lot of stretching of the flexors.

During the winter I was doing 30 to 60 minutes 5 days a week of cardio/ strength training at home using Jessica Smith tv. Now that I…

  • Just track it and enjoy. I find that I am always very low in potassium in my diet. Well, good news...red wine has a fair bit of potassium in a glass so I figured out 20 glasses a day should get my potassium levels up. lol

  • That has been my goal over the last year...to get my knees back in shape after a knee injury a couple of years ago. I exercised to rehabilitate it but it just got worse and worse until I was walking with a cane for awhile and off work. I realized that some of the exercise was actually aggravating it so now I am on the…

  • Hi, there. Your post sounded like me...58, fat and frumpy. I have been struggling with my weight for about 20 years. I used to be able to lose weight quickly (Weight Watchers many times!!!) but now I am post menopausal, it is frustrating to say the least!!! I lost some weight over the winter on MFO but got away from…
