Exercising with an injury success stories
16 months ago I was involved in a car accident. I have a neck injury and post concussion symptoms (dizziness and balance issues). Needless to say it has derailed me from my workout routine. My pre-accident routine was circuit training 2-3x a week and running 1-2x a week. I have made several failed attempts to get back at…

Juicing
I watched Joe Cross's documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. He did a 60 day juicing fast. I need to get more veggies in my diet and am struggling all over the board with my weightloss journey (a neck injury from a car accident has set me back a lot!). I'm not planning on doing a juicing fast, just incorporating more…

Exercising with a neck and shoulder injury
10 weeks ago I was in a car accident and injured my neck and shoulders/upper back (whiplash). Been going to physio and massage. Slowly but surely getting better. Am anxious to be 100% again though! Have moments of frustration! I've slipped with my diet and unable to do my regular exercise routine, which was circuit…

High Fiber Muffin Recipe
I'm looking for a good breakfast muffin recipe that is high in fiber and protein. Anyone have one they could share?

Damn scale!!
I'm feeling frustrated lately. I know success isn't all measured by the scale. However, I think its a bit ridiculous that it hasn't moved since late December (the week before Christmas to be exact)!! I have been keeping my carbs at or below 100g a day, increasing my fibre (25g) and protein (can't recall now, want to say…

New Balance Duo Sport Watch/Heart Rate Monitor
I got a New Balance duo sport watch/heart rate monitor as a gift. Can't seem to figure out how to use it! It says it will calculate calories burned... Anyone know how to work this thing!? I'm seriously frustrated! Wondering if it's not the watch for me. I really don't care about my heart rate when working out as I don't…

What is working for you?
Hello, New here. :smile: I'm curious if anyone else here has found they need to limit the amount of carbs they eat in order to lose the belly? I've been trying to stick to 100g of carbs a day, with my protein at 100-125g. I'm trying to incorporate more fibre as well. Aiming for 25g a day but am lucky when I get close to…

Headphones
Wasn't sure where else to post this question. I'm looking for recommendations on headphones or ear buds (not sure what to call them). I have trouble with them always falling out while I'm walking or running (really bad when I'm running!). My husband got me a new pair for Christmas, JVC ones, and they are falling out too!…

Post Holiday Chat and Goals for 2013
I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!! :) I have a headcold. :( Boo!! After having a stomach bug last week I had hoped I was in the clear. I was bad, and ate some ice cream this morning to soothe my throat. That was my excuse anyhow. Still plan on getting a workout in later this morning. Maybe some treadmill walking…

Hello :)
It's gotten very quiet around here. I'm assuming everyone is busy getting ready for the Holidays! Just wanted to drop by and wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and for those who don't celebrate Christmas I wish you all the best of the Holiday Season you celebrate! Was struck by the stomach flu a few days ago, feeling much…

Tilapia Recipes
How do you flavour and cook Tilapia? I'd appreciate any suggestions and recipes! :happy:

My NSV! :)
I have found that I need to rely on my NSV's more than anything through this journey. The scale doesn't move much for me, which can be very frustrating at times! However, I always just keep plugging along, slow and steady. :wink: I was out this past weekend in need of a pair of dress pants and was shocked to discover I fit…

No Challenge...?
Is there no challenge this week?

Spreadsheet Problems
I can't seem to find where to log in for this weeks challenge on the spreadsheet. I logged in on Sunday and it said that I needed to upgrade to googlechrome in order to continue using the spreadsheet. I did that, and still can't find this week on the spreadsheet. Am I the only one who can't log in this week?

Need a plan to stay on track over the holidays...
So we just celebrated Thanksgiving this past weekend. My husband and I went away and ate out for 2 days, and on the third day had a big Thanksgiving dinner at my parents place. Thank goodness for all the walking we did when we were away! Threw me right off track for diet though! I feel like for the most part I made good…

Sports Bra
Hi ladies! I'm wondering if you have any recommendations for a good sports bra? I'm having some trouble while I'm running and so far have only found wearing two bras as helped. I am actually small chested but due to hormones I take they are a bit sensitive (sorry that may be tmi) and I need some extra support.

Logging in question
Hello! :) I know the challenge begins tomorrow and the first week we are to drink at least 8 glasses of water. Do we have to log in on the spreadsheet each day? The reason I ask is because we are going away camping this weekend. We leave tonight and will return on Monday. I have access through an app on my cell phone to…

Blackberry Apps...
I've started interval training to run a 5k in September. Does anyone know of a free app I can use on my blackberry? I need it to be user friendly as I'm not very technical. I want something that I can program my intervals and will tell me when to walk and run etc. If it calculated my calories burned that would be even…

Tuna
I usually mix mayo in with my tuna. In an attempt to reduce the amount of mayo I've been adding lemon juice. I'd like to get rid of mayonaise completely. What do you mix your tuna with??

Dang scale!!
The scale hasn't budged for me in 3 weeks!! I'm confused by my results. Can you not still lose weight even when you go over your calories some days when you've gone under on other days? Shouldn't it still work out in the end? I don't eat back all my workout calories but figure they'd come in handy if I go out or have a…

Net Calories
What is the absolute lowest you can have for your net calories? I am allowed 1,420 calories a day. Today I have eaten 1,466 calories and burned 556 calories from exercise. MFP is saying my net calories is 910. I don't usually eat back all of my exercise calories, just some of them. Today I'm not feeling very hungry and am…
-
Sugar
I decided to change my settings to check how much sugar I'm consuming and was shocked to see I'm over most days by about 30g (I'm guessing the settings are in grams)!! I looked through my food diary and the sugar is coming mostly from fruit. I'm not a big fan of juice, but I do drink about 4oz each morning to chug down my…

Couple of questions
It's been 4 weeks (this is my 5th week) since I've been on MFP and I have noticed I only lose every other week. My first week I lost 2lbs, second week nothing, third week 2lbs and last week nothing again. I'm really hoping to see a loss this week! Is this normal? I weigh-in every Friday morning. Also, how often is it…

How do I figure out calories/nutrients per serving?
I'm making a homemade soup for dinner tonight. I'm curious how I figure out the calories and nutrient content for each serving? Is there a site that I can use to input the ingredients and it will break it down for me? I have to admit this is one of the reasons I find calorie counting frustrating as I try to make most of my…

I am new here and wondering how to edit my signature? I'd like to add my weightloss ticker.
