How to deal with knee pain while doing 30 Day Shred?
I'm out of shape. I've pretty much always been out of shape. I've over 200 lbs, and I'm only 5 foot 3 inches tall. I'm not used to a lot of physical activity. Generally speaking, I don't have knee pain. And if I do light exercise, like walking, my knee doesn't hurt. But when I do 30 Day Shred, my left knee gets very sore…

I might never eat Chinese takeout again.
I've been losing consistently for the last couple weeks. started 221 at the beginning of February. Last week I was down to 219. A couple days ago, I was down to 217. Yesterday might have been a fluke, but I weighed myself in the morning, and was down to 215. But the last weight that I recorded was 217. So, for valentine's…

MFP's carb and protein settings seem insane to me.
I mainly pay attention to calories, and ignore the other categories. But I have noticed that I'm almost always way above my protein limits, and far from meeting my carb limits. And I'm not on a low carb diet. Crap! Today, I ate a breakfast sandwich on a muffin, then a donut that was offered to me, then went to a Mexican…

Can I change my start weight?
I can't seem to change my start weight, from 3 years ago. Back then, I started at 208. I lost about 30 lbs, then had a baby, and just recently got up to 225 lbs. I just started to use MFP again, and I logged 225 lbs as my current weight. But I've lost 3 lbs. And since I'm still above my start weight in 2012, my ticker says…

More information about "Eating more to lose more?"
Eh, I was okay with 1,500 calories a day, but now my calorie count has gone down to almost 1,300 calories per day. I only have a couple hundred left after lunch time. I admit that I eat a lot of processed foods. I'm kind of in a rut about that. It's just so easy! And sometimes it can be really hard to make it to the…

Question about the Color Run or Color Me Rad.
As I understand it, they are throwing colored cornstarch at people. Could this cause breathing problems? I've accidentally inhaled baby powder made of cornstarch, and I don't think I'd want to feel that while running a 5K. Aside from that factor, it looks really cool.

Will the cellulite get any better?
So I'm 5'3" and 190 lbs and I have some really bad cellulite on my butt and thighs. It's genetic. My mom had it really bad. I'm smaller than my mom was, but I swear when I look at the back of my thighs I see my mom's thighs. That is not a good thing! So I read that a lot of it depends on genes, and that diet and exercise…

If you begin 30 Day Shred or Insanity...
Do you have to continue doing it to keep the results? This is probably a dumb question. I imagine you would need to. But do you have to continue to do it on a daily basis, or is it something that you only do a couple times a year since the programs are 30-60 days long? Or do you just do them every once in awhile? I just…

Calories in Target food court popcorn?
I shared a bag of Target popcorn with my girls today, and I'm guessing how much I ate. Probably about a third to half of the bag. I logged half a bag and MFP says that's 600 calories. Holy moly! That can't be right, can it? A whole bag would be 1,200 cals! I used to think that was a light snack. There wasn't any butter on…

Does "lifelong change" sometimes seem daunting?
That's what I'm shooting for. I want to be healthier for the rest of my life, not just to get to some goal weight. I want to live longer than my mother, who died of a heart disease at the age of 60. I want to have a better quality of life than many of my family members. I want to be active in my old age. So why does it…

Maybe stupid question about pancake mix
So I have some Log Cabin All Natural Pancake Mix, and I'm doctoring it up to be apple cinnamon pancakes. Added some applesauce and some cinnamon, and I also use almond milk instead of regular milk b/c my daughter has issues with dairy. I thought I'd just enter all of the ingredients into my recipes, divide it by how many…

31 years old, 201 lbs, and knee pain
Is there hope that this knee pain will go away once the weight comes off? My knees actually haven't been too bad here lately, but I know that they can be problematic. So I've been trying to be careful. I've been doing low impact exercises, but I decided to try the 30 day shred. I started last week and I was doing great.…

Day 4
I hope no one minds that I start a new thread for Day 4. I haven't done it yet, just because I haven't had the time. But I'm feeling great! I didn't really get sore after Day 3. I don't know if it's because I'm getting used to it, or if it's because I warmed up before beginning by walking 2 miles. I still can't do push ups…

Do you log anything for the 30 Day Shred?
I have the DVD and I want to start it. Do you log anything in on MFP when you do it? If so, what do you log since it's not in the database?
