Going Out to Eat
I'm a college student and I am home for the Summer. I was wondering if any of you had any advice to survive going out to dinner on the weekends? My family goes out at least twice a week to various restaurants. NY lists calories of meals and a lot of the time they are 1000+ calories! I'm good on the weekdays with calorie…

Looking for some friends!
Hi everyone! I am back after a hiatus from MFP. Most of my friends seem to have been inactive for months. So, feel free to add me! :smile:

Am I Hungry?
Ugh, a lot of the time I'll eat a meal and then 2 hours later or so I'll feel hungry. It's a feeling in my stomach and I just start to really want to go downstairs and have snacks! I'm starting to think it's like a boredom hunger or something? I had some tea and the feeling is still there. I just want to eat all the food.…

Pain while power-walking/jogging
Every time I do my routine my shins hurt and my ankle goes numb. It feels weird when I try and wiggle it side to side. I'm not sure if this means I am pushing myself too hard or if my shoes aren't the right kinds? My shoes are walking/running shoes that I got from a proper store. Any ideas? :huh:

Weekends Are Rough
On weekdays things are easier to monitor and know the calories because I eat at home. On the weekends it gets very difficult because my family and I go out to dinner. (2-3 times a week) I do my best to be careful with what I eat and order and I only drink water as a beverage. Going out on the weekends means that I have to…

Some before pics!
Dirty mirror! Well, a super old mirror. All of those marks are behind the glass! :O My belly that I am trying to get flat. -_-

Just seeing if I am posting photos correctly! :)

Not really sure what I'm doing.
I joined MFP after a long hiatus (went back to school) I actually went from about 175 down to around 165 pounds or so while being at college. Since I have come home I have decided to take up power walking, since I really don't think I am capable (in shape for) of running/jogging. I really haven't done any actual exercising…

Belly Fat?
Hello! For a long long time I have had this belly fat that seems to not budge. I've lost 10 pounds since starting college and it still looks the same! I'm 6'2" and weight 162 pounds now. I've started to go power-walking again since I am home for the summer and it is too nice out to not enjoy the weather. Plus, sleeping all…

Getting back on track.
Well, I had lost about 8 pounds. Then I went on a 12 day cruise and I pretty much gained it all back and then some. I was around 170 when I left and now I weight 180 or so. It's made it so hard to want to get back on track. Also, it's summer now and it's hot out. I am kind of paranoid power walking in 90 degree weather. :(

Recumbent Bike Knee Pain?
I was recently given a recumbent bike and I find when I use it my knees start to ache when pedaling. I'm usually okay the first time I use it but the days after my knees ache too much to use it. I've tried messing with the adjustment of the length and stuff but it didn't really help. Any ideas?

New to the group!
Hey everyone! I just figured out about the whole MFP group thing like 10 minutes ago. I just joined this one 5 minutes ago. Looking for some more friends and stuff on MFP! Feel free to add me! :) :flowerforyou:

Jogging Issues.
I've been power-walking 2 miles 5 days a week for the past 3-4 weeks or so. I have tried throwing in some periods of jogging but I really struggle with it. I almost get a sick feeling if I jog for longer then 30 seconds. My lungs burn, my legs go crooked and it's just not a pleasant experience. I figured my lungs would…

Same cramp in the same place.....every time.
I'm not really sure where to categorize this but.....90% of the time I go out walking, I find I get a cramp under my lowest rib on my right side. I've tried different breathing patterns and drinking some water before I go out for my power walk-jog. I've cut out the jogging intervals because I found that it was making the…

I gained weight! :/
I've been exercising strictly for nearly 2 weeks now and have been counting my calories for even longer. I went to weight myself just today, just to see if anything had changed and my scale said I had gained nearly 3 pounds. I don't know if the fact that I had just eaten dinner, drank water and had my clothes on had a huge…

Is this enough exercise?
Hey everyone, I am currently doing around 30 minutes of power walking with some jogging five times a week.(M-F) I've been pretty good about tracking and staying under my calories too. I am just worried that I won't lose any weight because I am not doing enough exercise. What do you think?

Looking for more friends!!!
Hey everyone! I'm 19 years old and was wondering if there were more people out there who are similar in age to me? You don't have to be similar to my age to friend me though! Everyone is welcome! :)

Cramps
I've been doing a mix of power walking and jogging for the past few weeks or so. I try to jog for a little but, but I seem to get a bad cramp in the same spot all the time. I get it under my bottom rib on my right side. I usually pinch the skin hard and that seems to relieve the pain a bit, but it's kind of impractical.…

Ouch...my legs.
Ok, so I have been power walking/jogging on and off for the past few weeks or so. I find that after every time I go my ankles and calves burn and go numb. Is this just because my body isn't use to the exercise or is it my shoes? I don't think I'm pushing myself too hard because I only go around 20 minutes at a time.

Getting Into A Routine.
My biggest issue is the exercise part of weight loss. I have been very good about keeping my calories under my daily limit. I find when it comes to the exercise part I have difficulty wanting to do it. I think the fact that it's cold still is a big turn off. I also don't really know how I should start exercising. Should I…

I did it :)
I actually went for a power walk around the neighborhood. I tried to throw some interval jogging into it too just because when I started I felt like what I was doing wasn't hard enough. I didn't go for that long (I'd say about 20 min) I power walked for about 15 minutes and threw three 1 minute jogging intervals into it.…

Getting Hungry at Night & Water.
Hey everyone, I was wondering. What do you do when you get hungry later in the night? I find myself snacking sometimes at like 10pm or later. I try my best to snack responsibly though. Also, I find it hard to drink 8 cups of water a day. That is like 4 Poland Spring bottles. Do other things count towards your 8 cups a day?…

Today Was Awful.
I decided to start the couch to 5k program today. This is going to sound super lame but....I did the 5 min walk and then I started running for like 30 seconds. I reach my backyard and just decided to give up and ran up my backyard and completely gave up. I don't own a treadmill and I think the fact that I was outside in…
