i went to a PT for a month and he told me i would always have a problem with my ankle because something shifts out of place and they can't fix it?! but before i went i was overcompensating and my hip was much worse. now it only cramps up when i exercise!

thanks everyone! i actually don't run or do anything high impact because i have a bum ankle. i like to do leslie sansone's walk at home dvd because it's a great workout, without messing with my ankle. even walking quickly cramps up my hip! i'll have to try your suggestions, though

Bourbonnais, IL... right now I'm in Macomb, IL for school! suuuuucks!

i'm not a doctor, but i would go see one if i were you. don't diabetics sweat a sweet smell?

the possible benefits of tanning NEVER outweigh the negatives!! tanning is terrible for you!! stretch marks vs. skin cancer?? no thank you!

i was just about to post a topic about this very thing. i have stretch marks on my thighs and they drive me insane. i'm going to florida for spring break in march and i'm already worried about wearing a bikini! most people will be starting at my huge jellyfish tattoo down my left side, but i'm still insecure about it. i…

i haven't had bottled water for a long time... i have a brita filter or i just drink from the tap. i have a cabinet full of reusable water bottles!

i am not sick of it yet.. i had the app on my phone though. i sort of get excited to see how much everything is going to add up to be at the end of the day.. and now that i'm exercising i can't eat enough to get back to my net calories! which i'm now turning into an excuse for why not to exercise.. haha.

i LOVE mt dew. love might be an understatement. a few years back i was drinking 5 cans a day! when i was in high school, there was only coke products so i'd bring 2 mt dews with me every day. I'd drink one BEFORE CLASS at 8am! and one at lunch. i feel your pain. i've discovered that the more i exercise, the less i really…

she asked for advice, not some snide comment about your false interpretation of what she said. Lexi isn't demeaning her husband by wanting him to be thinner. She wants him to be HEALTHY and she also slightly wants him to look like his sexy self again. What man or woman isn't at least that small amount of shallow? Lexi-…

i just bought the sportline s7 from walmart for $30. works just fine for me!

i always look at the nutritional facts at the restaurant or online to get an accurate number of calories. if MFP doesn't have it in their database, i add it myself. i'm trying my best to not guess on calories.

i'm in my last year of school to be a high school history teacher! reading this made me realize that i've never considered when i'll go to the bathroom when i have to! haha.

most people have a difficult time eating their 1200 NET calories. some days my total calories before i subtract my exercise calories is 2000 or more. not everyone is the same type of eater as you are. that doesn't make them anorexic. you said you could eat 1200 calories in a single meal.. i can think of few HEALTHY meals…

a guy in my european history class last semester said "basically" SEVENTY-TWO TIMES in a 10 minute presentation!!

what fake products are you referring to?

amazon.com. not all HRM have calorie trackers though so you need to look at the features and description. i bought my at walmart for $30

her books are fantastic. you can preview them on her website at hungry-girl.com/books

it definitely sounds to me like you are not eating enough. you SHOULD be eating back the calories you burn exercising. If you eat a total of 1200 calories and don't exercise for the day, GREAT! You stuck to the goal. But if you eat 1200 calories for the day and exercise 500 of them away, then your body only has 700 to…

i was a size 0 when i was 13 or 14.. but keep in mind that i weighed about 100 pounds. I didn't break 100 pounds until I was 15! I was so skinny and the doctors kept yelling at me to gain weight. I didn't have an eating disorder or anything, just a fast metabolism. I wish I still had that metabolism, but I'm much healthier…

I just got the Gold's Gym Dance Workout Game for Christmas from my kid brother. Tried it out for the first time tonight! I like it, but you have to hold the wiimote and it doesn't always read my movements. I don't play for the points though, I play for the workout! It also displays the calories burned as you do the…

i love these!! i accidentally bought the beef franks instead of the hot dogs. Let's just say it was a horribly disgusting-tasting mistake!

i'm pretty sure there are 20 total individuals so00 I'm guessing 10 episodes with 2 new people every week!

i would say it's just fine. any exercise is good exercise. i just joined a gym that is open 24 hours. i suppose it could just be for business, but if a gym is willing to endorse working out at any time of day/night then it can't be terrible, right??

you should be able to google the manual for it. try searching by name and model or try to find the product number somewhere on it!

Hungry Girl!! I LOVE HER!! hungry-girl.com and she has out 4 books, i believe.

My stats are EXACTLY the same! If you don't mind my asking, what is your current net caloric intake set at?? I just feel like the 1200 net calories that MFP recommended is too low??

I did the calculations and my TDEE is about 2350!! Seems to me like 1200 calories a day is WAY too low when I only want to lose a total of 20 pounds.

thank you all for your responses :)

thank you! that makes me feel better :)
