So Here We Go Again
I'm not new to MFP. I've been a member since 2015 and since then I've been on & off the platform so many times that you can definitely track my weight/health over the years based and major problems over the years based on when I was active/inactive over here. I'm 36, female, European. Whenever I've stuck with MFP I've seen…

TMI - hemorrhoids & working out
Hi all, First of all, sorry for the TMI and the topic of hemorrhoids, I searched through the forums (and not only here), I've read so many articles that now I'm a bit confused, so I'd like to hear from people who have experience with that. I will be visiting a doctor, but as we are in the week after Easter, followed by a…

A story of CICO, Math and Scale (Month #1)
I’ve been struggling with weight since my early teen years. I went from a rather active kid to a completely inactive teen rather rapidly and this along with the increased pocket money, first signs of anxiety and some home issues quickly led me to a world of emotional eating and diet yo-yo-ing. When I was 20 I reached…

Anyone else Post Injury / Surgery? Seeking for friends for the recovery trip!
A few months ago I tore my ACL, and almost 4 weeks ago I had my surgery to reconstruct it using hamstring. I'm recovering, already doing physical therapy, looking towards being okay-ed to start using the stationary bike. And to further help my recover I've once again restarted my MFP journey. I was wondering if there are…

Meniscus - possible tear :[
So nearly two weeks ago I sprained my knee. After initial ER visit I was told to wear a knee immobilizer and that there is nothing else - no tears, no ligaments, no bones, nothing wrong other than the sprain. I had the immobilizer for 8 days, followed by two days of a knee sleeve. I started moving around more freely,…

Knee Injury & Self Rehab & Biking
Well, exactly when I was done rehabing my ankle (yay for December ankle injury) and I was about to start working out once again, I got my knee sprained. Thankfully, it's a mild sprain, no tears, no breaks, nothing too horrible. There was hardly any swelling and the non stop pain was gone in the first 24 hrs. It's been a…

Pre-planning meals: Freeze vs Chill
Hello all, I'm currently on a sick leave/vacation, so cooking on the fly is not a problem (even if cooking all in itself is a challenge to me xD). However, I'm returning to work on 4th January and I'd love to pre-plan my meals and bring lunch from home. I did it before and it was the biggest factor that brought me to a…

Rowing to rehab sprained ankle? If not - what?
Hello all, My google-fu and my search-fu are failing me tonight. So, excuse me if this has already been discussed and explained somewhere, but so far all that I've found was from "this is the best way to rehab" to "absolutely no!!" So a thread of mine. Last Saturday I very gracefully tripped and sprained my ankle. No…

In Search For Friends (A Fresh Start)
Hello all! It's been a few months since I've been on MFP, so I decided to start from scratch - new account, new goals, new friends. I've used MFP on and off for two years now, the first big use got me almost to my goal before I tripped and failed. But now I think about sticking it to for good. Sick of only excusing myself…

Losing by eating without exercise?
I'm in a cast, so working out will be out of the question for about 2 months. I've decided to tackle my eating habits first by following TDEE-20%; But honestly, I'm worried about losing by only cutting food. I've done it before, and I've always got it all back and some. So I'm wondering if others have made it or at least…
