Simple body weight squats. Lots of good examples on the internet. However think sitting in a chair. Most people learn how to squat by standing with their feet just at shoulder width apart, tighten your stomach muscles (core) that is a simplified explanation of core. Put a steady chair or bench behind you where you can sit…

I had previously about 10 years earlier had surgery for chondromalacia. The short story is the pain in both knees is gone and my knees are more…

I have a combination of Graves/Hashimotos I take synthroid daily. Over 12 months I lost 40 lbs, came off both cholesterol and blood pressure medication. I have been able to keep the weight off for 36 months now, vice a 5 to 7 lb fluctuation over the holidays when I get a little lax with my eating. What really worked for me…

Welcome, hope your journey is as successful as mine has been. Member for a little over a year and a half, lost 40 lbs, kept it off for 8 months now. MFP together with a Fitbit Force activity tracker really helped me get a grip on my food and activity. :)

I used MyFitness Pal and a Fitbit Force, I have lost 33 lbs at a rate of about 1.5 lbs a week. I allowed the negative calorie function to be used, and I also ate back 85 to 100% of the calories burned as exercise. My goal was to basically zero out my calories for each day. The combination worked well for me, I reached my…

Definitely depends on the chiropractor, which is really the same for any of the mentioned practitioners above. I have had great physical therapist after knee surgery, and lousy ones. You are the best judge of who and what is working or not. That said, I have for the past 6 months seen a chiropractor 2 times a month, the…

It worked for me, I started in January of this year with a goal of losing 30 lbs. I reached that goal on my birthday in June. I used MFP straight out of the box, so to speak, that is I used their macros and settings and set my goal for 1.5 lbs a week. Some weeks I lost a little more, some weeks a little less, two plateaus,…

I have the fitbit force and love it. I know it will not work for you but when the took it off the market I looked into something for my wife. I am buying her the Fitbit One this weekend. Nothing magic about what fitbit did, but the constant readout that I could look at real time, and on my computer at my desk, I work a…

I open mine up in a separate tab in my web browser, then set my browser to open a specific set of pages when it opens. That way it is in front of me all the time my browser is open, that makes it easy to update and easy to remember.
