Hi. Just the promised update. No fracture! It's bruised. No idea how, but in a week, I should be over most of the pain. I am glad I took the x-rays because I do have osteoporosis. And I need a fresh bone scan, physical therapy, and strength training to build bone and also flexibility training so this doesn't happen again.…

Thank you. And thanks everyone. I am calling my doctor in the morning. No work tomorrow. I can't concentrate anyway. I wanted it to just go away but it won't. It got worse. I will let you know what it is. I can't believe this happened. I was enjoying the exercise program so much and making nice progress to being fitter on…

Thank you. I have decided to do it - get an x-ray. I had just been to the doc and feel weird to go back. I haven't gone back yet but I have decided to. I just coughed a lot and it was like being run through with a sword. Thought I was gonna pass out. It's just that I heard that they can't really *do* anything for a rib.…

It's a problem. 6 and half hours. I was getting more, even though I keep late hours, but there was illness in the family and my sleep rhythm is completely off. That's not enough for me. Tired a lot. And that effects quality of exercise, of course. Doing okay, considering, I guess. But far from optimal.

At 103 pounds, this should not be a concern. Gaining how much, from what? Where did you start off?

Determined and confident.

Was looking for a thread for advice and found this. It's now heavy cold and flu season out here, and I have been down for a week. A real dilly! A week ago tomorrow I went on strong antibiotics. Should I wait the ten days until they are out of my body before cardio? I feel much better; the antibiotics helped because I had a…

I dunno; I lost 2 and a half pounds OFF all exercise and diet all this past summer and fall due to a long episode of Status Migraine. Since I lost without trying, is that to my credit? Or because I threw up a lot? ;) I am back on, and dropped two more in 11 days. That's to my credit. I really can't say one way or the…

That does sound low for 13 mile ride. It was a long ride at a more leisurely pace, but it sounds low for their calculation methodology. Uninstall and reinstall the app. Also, use Map My Ride, specifically. I also found an RPM gadget from Wahoo that attaches to either your foot and the bike and sends information to the…

Did the monitor raise or lower the MMF burn? Because they use this formula, linked below. You can also look up almost any activity and do the math on it. (Better to let an app do that.) Corrected "METS." (No. Not the baseball team. Although some "correction" might help. ;) )…

Map My Fitness -- all activities and apps, uses a formula called MET. It's explained in this article. https://sites.google.com/site/compendiumofphysicalactivities/corrected-mets I think I understand why the machines are showing different counts. They don't know my statistics, and significantly, they don't take Resting…

OMG! It was late. I'm on a phone: autocomplete! ROFL! Thanks. Will edit! Oh gosh. Seems like you only have an hour to edit. Oops. Definitely won't do that! Not good with olive oil!

I almost never eat lunch. In the morning, I drink Glucose Control Boost at about 9:30, then a bit later, a breakfast of egg whites scrambled in olive oil, tosted Ezekiel Bread and half-sugar O.J. (diluted, basically.) And then I continue with my (computer, at home) work and eat dinner at 5 PM. Usually Angel Hair pasta with…

Has a wry sense of humor.

I just today restarted My Fitness Pal and Map My Fitness after a terrible siege of what was diagnosed as Status Migraine late last May/early June. It was a nightmare of headaches, nausea and vomiting that lasted all summer. I spent the fall recovering. I am female, do computer-based work, am middle-aged, no athlete. But…

Make sure your GPS is on, and mobile data too. I always turn it on before I enter. Remember to hit record, and to save. Also, turn off auto-pause.Let the audio voice tell you frequently how you're doing. Also, if the mall has skylights, it helps. Sometimes, you don't see the route until after you save it. Keep trying, and…

I use Map My Fitness. It even works inside malls. I also have an indoor recumbent bike, and log into Map My Ride. It's all connected to MFP. When cycling, I use YouTube and music. I use cycling videos. Depending on your health, don't push too hard at first. And get medical clearance, of course, if you haven't exercised…

Thank you for this topic. I have had a mild virus for around a week, so didn't exercise for a couple, three days. When I did, on Wednesday, the next day I had the first real migraine since I started this program. I have been on it over six weeks, and doing well! Now, it's after midnight, so Sunday, and the headache…

Thanks, everyone! I tried to find out the calories before I posted, and those wonderful biscuits are killers! You can't eat one. LOL! I can eat less chicken. And the potatoes and gravy are not too bad. It's those biscuits! Maybe, like you said, I won't want it as much. Hope so. And yes, the walking and activity that day is…

Hi. My goal is the same, but 1. My first diet. Ever. I don't "show" weight very much on the outside, so I haven't worried. But it's time! I lost 4 pounds the first five weeks on this. Actually more, but it went back up a pound and a half. I am exercising on a stationary bike and 1 and 2 mile walks. I do almost 10 miles on…

Thank you. Nice to meet you. :)
