Need basic workout help
Looking for advice on basic workout setups for a 50+ year old man. What I've been doing is about 30 minutes on the WII with boxing for cardio followed by the strength training below. I know soreness is to be expected but I'm wondering if this should be a daily routine or if I need to switch days. Fairly sore right now, not…

Lifetime relapser.
Hello everyone. My name is Jim and I've been on this rollercoaster all my life and am looking to end the ride before it ends me. Been diabetic for a few years now and recently had to switch to new meds due to stomach issues. New meds aren't as effective but realistically, its on me not the meds. I just retired the end of…

Needing some support
Not new to MFP as I've been doing it this time for coming up on a year. I am, however, new to the social aspect of this. Before, I never even considered using the message boards or having online friends to help hold me accountable. The problem this time is that over the last few months I've just had trouble caring (not…

Stretches.
Saw the doctor yesterday for a follow up on my knee. So far so good, everything seems to be going ok. I'm supposed to keep up what I'm doing with one exception. I seriously need to start a stretching regimen. I've never been terribly flexible and the older I get, the worse it gets. So I will be doing some research this…

Need a new morning cardio exercise
Long story short, I injured my knee about three months ago. At this point there are no problems using any exercise equipment in the gym as long as common sense is exercised. The problem is my morning workout. I tried to get back on our elliptical at home and even though using the ones at the gym cause no discomfort, using…

How long DOES it take (roughly) to gain a pound of muscle?
This has probably been asked before and if so, my apologies. I'm curious though. I started using MFP again back in January along with walking and the elliptical but in the last month started weight training. I understand the concept of muscle being denser than fat and requiring more calories to maintain so no need to go…

Needing some advice.
A week and a half ago I inured my knee. Nothing serious, just enough to slow me down but not bad enough to justify a trip to the doctor. Not my first time dealing with knee issues. My current issue is that my daily walk at work is hindering my knee in healing. Its uneven concrete and I have no other options on where to…

Fitbit almost doubling my calorie intake
I know this has probably been brought up before but I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my Fitbit Charge 2. At the end of the night last night, it told me that I was getting almost 1800 calories from exercise. This is almost double what my normal, no exercise allowance is. I tried going by what it said for almost…

How fast is too fast?
Weighed in this morning and I've lost 3.5 pounds since Sunday. Granted, this was also after having gained a pound or so after a "relaxation day". Half a pound to go to hit the 20 pounds down mark and I started back on the journey as of January 20th. I'm maintaining a decent weekly net calorie average, between 1600 to 1800…

Odd question
Last night, I was sitting there and realizing that, due to exercise, I still had over 800 calories left for the day. Thing is, I wasn't particularly hungry. Went ahead and fixed about a 300 calorie snack and ate it. A few minutes later I found myself actually getting a bit hungry. I was actively drinking water at the time.…

Roughly how long does it take for a binge to register as a weight gain?
Yes, I know that there is a lot that goes into this question but was curious if anyone knew a way to get a rough guess on it. Basically, through the week I do fine tracking and staying at or under my calorie count. The weekends are another creature entirely. This weekend wasn't bad but in the last month or two, I've had…
