Working out and chronic diseases/pain
I have two autoimmune disease, one that attacks my joints and organs, and another that thickens my skin and organs. Because of this I have a lot of pain. I enjoy working out, but my brain always says "Hey! You can work out some more!" But if I do too much then my body goes into a flare and I can't even walk for a couple of…

Exercise Calories
I'm never going to understand this stuff. I walked four miles today and because of that I earned a lot of calories back, so MFP is upset that I have ate less than 1200 calories. (My doctor says I can have 2000, I usually get around 1300-1400.) I'm not hungry. I ate really well today. You can view my food diary. What should…

Skin
I'm really not very confident that anything will help much, but what, if anything, is everyone trying to help with their skin while losing weight? Lotions? Vitamins? Toning? I think I'll do all of those. Since I have about 200 pounds (yeah, you read that right, keep a movin') to lose I'm afraid I will have a bunch of loose…

Milk
I'm REALLY craving chocolate milk. Can I have it? I hope I can without sabotaging my weight loss. Just bought a scale and here I am two weeks into exercising/one week into dieting and I've lost seven pounds! What's best? Soy? Almond? Skim? There are so many choices. I'm taking vitamin D plus calcium and a multivitamin as…

Labor Day Foods
I'm sure it's completely unhealthy to associate holidays with food, but I do. And I associate Labor Day with hot dogs or hamburgers or steaks or something like that. What are you planning on having for Labor Day? I'm thinking maybe apple and chicken sausage (190 calories) on a wheat bun with some fresh, crunchy veggies on…

Keeping on Track While Sick
I'm new to this and I'm not sure what to do. Do you still exercise when you're sick? Full force? Do you push yourself to eat? I have some autoimmune issues and last night I got really sick. (Joints hurt, queasy, fever, tired, just overall BLAH.) I didn't eat dinner and I haven't eaten yet this morning (It's ten in the…

Sick and Need a Last Minute Low-Cal Dinner!
I have an autoimmune disease and after having a great morning and doubling-up on my cardio (go me!), I am really sick. I have a fever and my joints are killing me. I was planning to make grilled chicken on a whole wheat bun with lettuce and tomato, but right now I have no interest in flattening out and grilling the…

Hi!
Hi! I'm Bethany, or Buccinator. I'm new the site, just joined yesterday, (and loving it) and new to exercise and eating right. I've always known what to eat and what to do, I've just never had the motivation to do it. But now I do. I've been sick for three years. None of my doctors could figure out what was wrong until I…
