Stop what you are doing and make an appointment with a GI doctor. There are so many different things this could be. For me, I ignored it for so long. It ended up being a severe case of Ulcerative Colitis. You can get so many suggestions from people on here including me but the thing is until they run some blood work and…

I will say I had this one. I also used cardio trainer as it was GPS. I now have the Polar FT60 (HRM) and love it more than any of them. I use it for accurate calories burned. MFP is not accurate. I found that Fitbit was not as accurate as I thought. Just my opinion. If you are looking for a more accurate way to see how…

Thanks Mr_Knight! I want to be at 140 by March 1. I know my diet looks strange to most but I try to get the most nourishment from things I can tolerate. I allow myself small cheats and I record them. If I didn't, I would eat a whole candy bar ;) I will just be patient. Not my best attribute.

Yes 6 lbs.

And yes last Sunday was a killer. I was not having a good day and had that lovely big mac. Usually if you see I don't eat out much at all.

I am very limited to veggies I can eat. Apples and Oranges are really the only thing I can tolerate. Roughage is a killer for me as I have ulcerative colitis. I drink the milk to get some calcium as my body does not absorb vitamins. They pass whole. I can't stand plain milk :)

I ran a mile at 4.5 1 incline, walked .75 mile at 3.5 1 incline, ran 4.5 at 4.5 1 incline. I don't do much incline because I am recovering from a tailbone fracture. Now outside I can run fine up and down hills. The treadmill just bothers my back more. The calories burned is based off my HRM not the treadmill.

Its open correctly now. Sorry, I must have hit the wrong button. Thanks again for you all taking the time to help me out.

Yes that is correct. Now since you said that, should I stick to the 1200 instead of counting on the exercise calories to give me more food?

I usually have 200-300 calories left in my day. That is with my goal - intake + excercise. I only use my HRM to get a calorie count

I have opened up my diary to see if that can help some of you help me. I also rely only on my HRM. I do not go by any calories burned from the machines I use. I know I am losing inches but just figured I would have lost a few more lbs by now. I want to be under 150 so bad :)

I will open my journal as well. I have allowed myself cheats here and there and you will see my bad days as well. But, I usually try to work out more on those days.

I am using my calories that I burn towards my goal. So, if I had 1200 to begin with and burned 400 calories I make sure I am still under the 1600 that I am now allowed. Is this not correct?

I am 5'2. (short lol) And I am always under my calorie goal. I am usually around 200-300 under my goal.

Have you thought of Kickboxing? I don't go to classes anymore because I can't afford it. However, I was able to get on craigslist and find a stationary kickboxing bag and dvds off Amazon. I now do it at home. I have not used my new Polar Watch so am curious to see how it calculates the calories being burned.

I feel the same way! I am a YO YO dieter. I tend to not eat enough which backfires on me. Once I get back in the habit of eating right and exercising, I do great. Then I stop mainly because of a terminal illness i have. I recently have had a back injury which has not helped. I am hoping l can find some support on here…

Best Wishes! I am also getting back into being fit after a back injury. Friend request sent
