Awesome weight loss simulator site!
Hey all! I found an awesome site where you can simulate your weight loss. Upload your current full body picture, adjust your weight/height, and play with the sliding scale. It's just a simulation, but fun to play with :) http://makeovr.com/weightmirror/liftupload.php

The NSV I've been waiting for!!!
Usually when I get to the recumbent bike at the gym I have to raise up the arm rests to be comfortable. The past couple of times I've been comfortable with them down, but my side fat pockets would still inch them up as I started riding. Today....the arm rests stayed in place through my whole 8 mile ride!!!! It's a good day…

Do I make myself eat?
I know I'm supposed to eat throughout the day to keep my metabolism going. I'm trying to eat 3 decent sized meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with 2 smaller snacks. Right now it's been 3 hours since my breakfast and about 3 hours until lunch, but I'm not hungry. Was planning on having an orange and protein shake. Do I…

800+ Calories left, but already over on sugar and sodium
So...I have a battle brewing here. I have over 800 calories left for the day, but have gone over on my sodium, sugar, and protein. I can't figure out how to eat enough calories, but also stay under these other goals! Feel free to take a look at my diary and offer any suggestions. Thank you!

Insulin Resistance
Hello all! I just received my lab results from a recent doctor appointment. These are the worst results I've ever had..never really been high in glucose or cholesterol before. Now I'm high in both, but also high in insulin. My doctor has referred me to the endocrinologist to talk about Insulin resistance. I'm so scared…

How accurate is calorie out count?
I feel like MFP overestimates the number of calories I burn during my work out. Granted, it takes more calories for my body to do work than others...but today I spent 15 min on the elliptical and 22 minutes biking and it states I burned over 800 calories. The machines at the gym came in at about 400 calories. Who do I…

Feet problems while doing cardio
So lately I've been starting my workout on the elliptical and around the 10 minute mark my feet start to get a little tingly or just feeling week. I push through to hit the 15 min mark, but would eventually like to go further. Then I typically lift weights for 15-30 min depending on the day, then finish with a 20 min bike…

Need help toning arms with tendinitis
I have pretty severe tendinitis in both my forearms, and this is making it hard for me to exercise my arms. I have been using the chest press, shoulder press, and tricep dip machines. Some days my tendinitis flairs up, but I have a lot of problems with doing bicep curls or push ups. I'm looking for any suggestions to…

Homemade Lean Cusines
I have been very successful making my own lean cuisine inspired dishes. I bought 5 divided glad containers and add 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice, 4 oz of chicken, and a cup of vegetables. To make them different so I'm not eating the same thing every day I change up the veggies and add a different sauce to the rice and…

Newbie needs help meeting calorie goal
HELP!! I am severely obese (6' tall, over 400 lbs). This means I need to eat 2310 calories a day, plus from what I'm reading anything I burn during my work outs. I'm very new to the site so I don't have much to go on yet, but I want to start off with the best chance of seeing some results so I don't get discouraged.…

I'm here!!
Hello everyone :) I joined My Fitness Pal about 6 months ago, but then soon after joined weight watchers thinking I needed a bit more structure. Nothing against weight watchers, but I got sick of paying for something that I could basically do on my own with dedication! I never used the message boards here before, so…
