Help for Stress Eating Needed
I just lost my job because the company I work for can't afford to pay us, plus I will probably have to put my dog of 15 years, who has been my best friend and has followed me around my house since she was a puppy, to sleep this week. I am a big time stress eater and can really use some suggestions, ideas and words of…

Workout class logging question
I'm taking an hour long class that incorporates a warmup, then a mixture of aerobic moves such as jumping rope together with lunges, squats, bicep curls, shoulder exercises, and some floor ab work, followed by a cooldown of stretching. I don't have a heart monitor but would like a guess or estimate of calories burned. Do…

Please Help - Slowly Sinking
I need help desperately. My eating has become so out of control. I really don't know how it happened (well, I guess I do know - I just lost a handle on my eating habits), but now I can't stop it. It seems like I no longer have any willpower or self-control anymore. I was doing so well for a long time, and then had knee…

Water exercise suggestions???
Hello all. I had meniscus surgery about 1 1/2 weeks ago and my physical therapist said I could use a boogie board in a pool and do some paddling. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for any websites for doing full/upper body exercises in the pool? He said I can try some upper body things as long as I don't…

Feeling Like a Big Fat Blob of Blubber
I had knee surgery on Tues for a torn meniscus and haven't been able to exercise yet since then. I feel like a big blob of blubber. I can feel my butt growing as I sit on the sofa with my ice packs. I see the doctor on Mon, and also start physical therapy on Mon. Hopefully I will be able to start doing something, even if…

Keep You Fingers Crossed
Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm having arthroscopic surgery on my knee today for a torn meniscus. I'm hoping it goes ok and the recovery won't be too long.

Need your opinion
I would really need some input from everyone. I was having a lot of swelling and stiffness in my knee that would come and go. Sometimes it would get pretty swollen and I couldn't bend my knee all the way, but I never really had any pain. I am able to run on it and also do lunges and squats pretty much pain free, except for…

Need some serious butt kicking
I have been so bad with eating the last few days. The bad thing is that I've been good for almost a year and I know better. I have been eating a lot of junk and feel like I'm losing control. I'll even tell myself I shouldn't be eating a certain food and I go ahead and eat it anyway. I have been keeping up ok with…

Liquid Diet Today
I have to be on a liquid diet today (broth, soda, tea, jello, etc.) because I'm prepping for a test tomorrow, and I'm starving. The jello and broth, along with the water, is just not cutting it. The day will get worse, too, I have to go for a colonoscopy and have to take a bunch of cleansing medicine (dulcolax and miralax)…

QUESTION ABOUT CARBS
I've been on MFP for a while and have had success, thanks to all the support from everyone here. I have a question about carbs. Lately I've been craving carbs - bread, bagels, cookies, etc. and seem to be hungry a lot more. I don't deprive myself of carbs and do eat whole wheat bread, oatmeal, and good carbs, so I don't…

I did my first 5K today!!
I'm so excited. I did my first 5K today. I was so nervous going into it because I had sprained my ankle two weeks ago and wasn't able to do any running until Weds. of this week and I hadn't trained that much. Also, I'm no spring chicken at the ripe old age of 54. My goal was to finish the race without walking and I DID IT.…

Question for the runners out there
Hi all - I sprained my ankle on Oct. 15 at the gym. I was jumping rope when it happened. Boy did I feel foolish. But anyway, I have a question for your runners. I can walk without a limp, and have been able to do some rehab stretching exercises on the ankle (circling the alphabet, toe raises, ankle raises). I was able to…

Sprained Ankle
I sprained my ankle at the gym last night. I've never really been hurt before so this really stinks. I'm afraid that I'm going to put on some weight not being able to exercise for a few days. I also am scheduled to do my first 5K on Oct. 31 and not sure if that will happen now. Anybody have any suggestions on the best way…

Stupid Question

Too much fruit???
I think I ate too much fruit today throughout the day. I had 1/2 grapefruit for breakfast, a medium banana for a snack, some blueberries and strawberries with lunch and a medium gala apple for another snack. I also ate other proteins ( egg, egg whites, chicken breast). I'm still within my calories for the day and have…

VENTING ABOUT EATING .......
I went to Subway for lunch today, and there I was, eating my Subway salad with lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, peppers, ham and turkey. At a table across from me was someone, who looked like they weighed about 100 pounds, eating a foot long meatball sub, bag of regular chips and a botttle of coca cola (not even diet!!!). I…

REACHED MY GOAL
I reached my goal last week. I didn't want to post it yet because I wanted to wait a few days to make sure I really did reach it! I know it's not a huge amount of weight lost compared to some of the big weight losses some others have achieved. We all work so hard to lose the weight. I'm excited about it, but I'm also…

Pilates
How do yu enter pilates in the exercise section? I can't seem to find it. I took an hour pilates class today. Is that something that I can enter or should I not count those calories burned?

Can someone please help me - I don't know how accurate it can be, but can someone help me with at least an estimate of how many calories 4 ounces of meatloaf (made with 93% lean beef, oatmeal, egg whites and salsa all mixed together - don't know exact mixture measurements because it was made by someone else) might possible…

I'm So Mad at Myself
I'm so mad at myself. My husband brought me lunch today - a Wendy's Broiled Chicken sandwich and fries. I ate the chicken sandwich, which is not the greatest calorie wise, but I also ended up eating the fries - every single one of them. I haven't had fast food in a real long time, especially fries. Once I had one,…

Exercising and Sweating
Sorry if this is a gross subject - but does anyone else notice that they sweat more now that they've lost weight? It seems like the more weight that I lose, the more I sweat when I work out. You would think it would be just the opposite, since your body is carrying less weight during your workouts. Maybe it's just me, but…

Maintenance Fears
So, I'm about ten pounds away from my goal weight. The closer I get to my goal, the more nervous I get. So far, I've been able to deal with the dieting part. It's almost like getting into a set routine and following it. What scares me is how to handle things when I reach my goal and no longer have to diet. I know that I…

Need Food Suggestions
I need some soft, not much to chew, low fat food ideas. I had dental surgery and have to be on a really soft, not much to chew diet for a few days. I had the surgery yesterday all I had to eat was some peanut butter, Cream of Wheat and yogurt. I wasn't much in the mood to eat and only ate about 700 calories, which I know…

Calories Burned - Daily Goal Question
Pardon the stupidity - but according to MFP my calories burned each day is 1580. My goal is 1200 calories. Just say I work out and burn 500 calories. This would give me 1700 calories to eat. If i did this every day, wouldn't I gain weight instead of losing weight because I would be going over my daily calorie burned…

Hungry today
Does anyone every get a bad case of the hungries? I ate a breakfast with protein (two eggs) and fiber (100% whole wheat bread) and am starving. I've also eaten one-half grapefruit and a banana. I've also had four glasses of water so far. How do you stave off the hungries??? I'm at work, so exercise is not the answer. Why…

Sugar Question
I ate four small strawberries and a medium banana with breakfast today and only have two grams or whatever of sugar left for the entire day. I usually eat an apple for an afternoon snack, which definitely will put me over my sugar limit. How bad is the sugar from fruit? How bad is it to go over the sugar limit when eating…
