Very interested and could use the help, the last few months have been rough.

I say wear shorter skirts and dresses, and shorts if you want to. Having bigger calves doesn't mean you should hide them and shorter clothing isn't reserved for "skinny" women.

Are you "earning" extra calories by exercising? MFP recommends eating those calories back, so you could be okay, but if not, you may not get the results you are looking for.

I am great at support and motivation, feel free to add me.

Probably your body looking for a quick and easy energy boost.

It would be easier to help if you would open your diary.

I haven't experienced it myself, but I would find alternatives to sit ups. There are a lot of other things you can do that strengthen your core more effectively.

That must have been a great feeling! How often do you weigh? Are you possibly focussing on the numbers instead of the non-scale benefits? I only weigh every few months and focus on getting (and staying) healthy. I see the results at the gym with what I can do and in the decreasing clothes sizes.

Exactly....a little perspective.

I like either a turkey sausage link or a slice of bacon sauteed with some spinach and egg whites and topped off with parmesan cheese. I usually have a piece of toast or a low fat biscuit with it.

Do you work out?

Feel free to add me, I log every day.

Feel free to add me, I am always happy to offer and receive support.

When you set up your account did you change it to say you are male? The same thing happened to my boyfriend when he did his because he forgot/didn't see that that had to be changed. I am at roughly 200 lbs (female) and me pre exercise calorie allotment is 1370.

I'm also a nurse who works straight nights and am Canadian but live in Idaho now. Feel free to add me for support.

You are new to exercising and deserve congratulations for getting out there and moving. Do what you can for now and step it up when you can.

Try circuit training supersets......instead of 3 sets of one exercise then moving on I go from biceps to triceps to back to chest to shoulders without rest, then take a 30 second ( or so) break and do it again for a total of 3 times. I do the same with lower body. I also change up my routine every 4-6 weeks so that by the…

Try leaning against an exercise ball up against the wall, it will give you support.

Learn how to do one of the things you don't know how to.

I don't have cheat days because I look at this as living the rest of my life, it is not something that has a beginning and/or an end. If I want to eat something that is not "healthy" I do, I log it, and I deal with the consequences.

I am also 5'10", working towards getting back to 170lbs, which is a healthy goal for me. I've gone from size 18/20 to size 12 over the last year and a half. I don't weigh very often. I haven't weighed since I started using this website in January (signed up a year or two ago but never actually used it). I view my results…

My weight really fluctuates depending on where I am on my cycle and if I've consumed more sodium than normal, plus I work nightshifts so it would be hard to weigh at the same time......the point of all that rambling being that I don't weigh myself hardly ever. I haven't weighed since I started using MFP again in January, I…

Ringworm is a fungal infection, you need to figure out what you got it from if it is actually ringworm. It sounds like it could possibly be chafing. Did a medical professional give you a diagnosis? If not, you could be putting antifungal cream on something that doesn't need it.

Stop weighing so often! There is no reason for it. Our bodies fluctuate and you will only frustrate yourself.

I do something physical everyday, some days more than others. I have been doing this since November 2nd and have not experienced any problems.

I agree.....trying not to be a doubter, but what are the benefits to the GI tract?

They say you should eat back your exercise calories. I don't always, but I am happy to have them when I have higher calorie situations. I am losing weight, maybe I would lose faster if I did eat them all back, but I'm ok with a slow steady loss.

It does sound like you are not getting enough calories, can you open your diary so we can take a look? How many calories does MFP want you to eat?

The boob shrinkage.

I agree with the adding healthy fat options, plus.....get a facial! Relaxing, pampering, and good for your skin.
