Help!
I have been having trouble with my knees. Apparently they didn't approve of the 1 1/2 hr zumba/turbo kick class I did on Friday and one of them has been swollen ever since. Went to the doc today and he tells me I have Osteoarthritis. So I still need to loose weight (about 20 more lbs). What kind of exercises can I do now?…

MIO HRM
I just got a new MIO HRM. Anyone else use this brand? What do you think? I haven't had a chance to really use it yet as I hurt my knee. I'll probably use it sometime this week though. What are some of the things you like or dislike about it?

How many grams is considered "low carb"?
My MFP carb goal is 134 g per day. I'm taking a carb blocker but am wondering if that's just a mute point if I'm eating too many carbs to begin with. Not real interested in a really low carb diet. I don't eat lots of breads but tend to eat either a pasta or a rice dish almost daily. Feel free to check out my diary if you…

Please check my diary
This is what I am planning on eating today. I am looking for suggestions for a high protein food with little to no sodium. I was gonna have a protein shake but it would put me over on the sodium. I'm not sodium sensitive but just thought it would be best to not go over if I can help it. I guess if nothing else, I can cut…

Thoughts?
What's your thought on the treadmill? I heard that if you walk 60 seconds and then run 60 seconds, it burns more fat. Any truth to this? I've been walking at 4 mph then running at 6.4 for about 15-20 minutes. Amounts to about 1 1/2 miles.

MFP Food Database
Is it just me or does the food database on here just drive you crazy? It's no wonder some people have problems with their calories cuz there is so much wrong information in this database. I just got through comparing the Grilled Chicken Sandwich at Sonic to the database and their website. Every single entry in that…

Feeling guilty
I was supposed to have my weigh in today around 545. Therefore I was really eating light during the day. Only got in 491 calories between breakfast and lunch. Got to the gym and couldn't find the trainer doing the weigh in. I went ahead and did my Zumba class and found her afterwards. She said we would do it tomorrow. So…

Would you log his?
I don't normally log exercise calories for cleaning house, BUT......I've been so busy I haven't had time to do my daily cleaning. When I got home, I cleaned up. Picked up kids toys, vacuumed, swept, mopped, did dishes, wiped down counter tops, cleaned out refrigerator, cleaned bathroom....I literally was moving non stop…

Frustrated :(
Getting so frustrated with this whole thing. My weight is not moving hardly at all. I workout 3-5 times a week and eat pretty well I think. Sometimes I slip but not enough to really hurt me that much. I just don't know. I try to stay within my calories and I don't think I do too bad when I do go over considering my…

Should I change my Macros?
I am currently 38 years old at 171 lbs. My goal is to weigh around 130. I have my profile set to lose 2 lbs a week (hasn't happened yet) so my dailey caloric goal is 1200 calories. I typically stay around that goal but sometimes eat between 1200-1400. Currently MFP has my macros set up at 55/15/30. Can I get an opinion on…
