  • I used to get shin splints horribly! First things first, you MUST let them heal. This means not running on them for 'x' amount of time. For me, it took 2-3 weeks of not using them to heal them up. If you try to run through the pain you are at risk of actually getting tiny fractures on your shin bone (which you obviously…

  • The only person who is being selfish here is him! He sounds like a lazy SOB who doesn't care about what you are doing to make you feel better about yourself! Tell him it's time to put down the video games and get up and do something. Everyone has stress in their job, and he should be able to deal with it and be a…

  • If you are not losing weight, then you are not in a calorie deficit. The biggest thing that helped me was that I weighed everything before I ate it rather than guessing how much I am eating. Also, when I first switched up my eating to eating more 'clean' my stomach got upset too. It will pass soon, your body is just…

  • This. I used to to this exact same thing because I was embarrassed of my weight loss if I didn't get anywhere with it. What I have learned now is that telling your family and closest friends about your weight loss is a HUGE help. It motivates you because everyone is proud of you for accomplishing a weight loss. Also, they…

  • I eat about 3 a week probably. I never use them as a meal replacement, but they are a good way to 'cheat clean'. If I have some extra calories left after my three meals, and I am actually still hungry (rather than eating just because I have calories available to me) then I will splurge with one or something half of one.

  • Have patience and don't give up. If you follow what MFP sets up for you, the weight will come off. Don't enter false info when entering your food, the only person you're cheating when you do that is yourself! :) Also...if you can weigh all the food that you eat you will have much more accurate calories/nutritional info.
