advice on starting to run
I am an absolute newbie at exercise. I have lost 70lb so far and have another 30lb to go. I'm 58 and my knees and already have both been damaged by carrying so much weight. I have recently bought a fitbit and have increased my activity hugely but I would like to be able to run. I have been running a few yards on occasions…

I've just discovered pesto!
In the supermarket I discovered a low fat pesto. I checked it for sugars and other nasties and thought it would make a good pasta addition. It did! I really liked it so tried it in a salad as a dressing and it was superb! I can recommend it.

Weight Watchers compared with MFP
I went to WW for two and a half years and lost 4st 13lb (69lb) with them. I know that they are successful and wouldn't want to criticise the work they do, but I have now moved over to this site and wanted to give my first impressions and possibly ask a question or two. The reasons I gave up WW were twofold: firstly I felt…

Can varicose veins be healed?
I have now lost 5 stone (70lb) and think my varicose veins look a bit better. I have recently started exercising and wondered if they are improving because of that or because of losing weight or if I'm imagining it.

Multiple calorie values for food items
How do you log? I have just looked up babybel light - now they are standard sizes, and none of the values have stars on so I am guessing that they are not values added by MFP users, so why are there so many options - one standard cheese and it varies from 42-50. I used the higher value, of course, since it was not so much…

My first gain - so what did I do wrong
I'm devastated. I went for a (planned) meal on Saturday and I know I didn't stick to my diet, but I did try to estimate honestly what I ate, I didn't have breakfast beforehand and ate very lightly that evening, but I thought I had been very generous with my estimates. (There are no nutritional values for the independent…

Canadian breakfast bar food
Hi, I went for breakfast as a special treat with my son, we meet up every month in Manchester, but the restaurant has no nutritional values, and it isn't British food so I'm at a loss. Can anyone suggest what potatoes hash might be. I could see onions and bacon and what looked like smoked sausage. The portions were fairly…

Being poorly
I have some sort of virus, I'm not feeling well at all and it's playing havoc with my motivation. I have the sort of sore throat that only chocolate can soothe, so I ate a whole bar of it. What do you do when you feel poorly? Do you just ride it out until you feel better and well enough to exercise and eat properly?

Changing start day
I would love to change the start day for my week to Friday: does anyone know if this is even possible either on the android app or the website (aren't they different, by the way)?

Fifty plus person leaving WW
Hi all I have lost almost 5 stones on WW but want to start on a this site, because I prefer the ability to tailor my diet more. I am looking to use some quantified self app (fitbit flex or jawbone perhaps) and will probably make up at least one spreadsheet! I am also seeking friends to buddy up with. Is there anybody out…
