How to exercise when you're 270
Can anyone recommend how I can get my body moving/start exercising at 270lb? All the workout videos expect me to stretch and be able to do all these different things that my body just can't do, and it's instantly overwhelming and too humiliating to do, so I need someone that's been there that can tell me what's possible…

Good Workout Routines for 250lb-ers?
Does anyone know of any good workouts for someone as heavy as 250? It feels as though everything I try (even those claiming to be for very beginners, with any body type or fitness level) feels impossible. I got the FitOn app, and I ended up getting really down because I just couldn't do anything in it.

How to keep motivated when you're in pain
Sighhhh.... I wish for as long as I've had this account that I'd have seen progress but clearly not. So don't let my decade on this site fool you into thinking I know what I'm doing lol I try and meal plan every week, and stick to that (and go back to recording meals on MFP because that's worked for me in the past) but due…

Flex 2 for a casual swimmer?
I have a Charge 2 that I use for my every day life, but I'm going swimming approximately two of my workout days a week, and was wondering if it was worth buying a Flex 2 for use while I'm in the pool. I've been submitting my pool workouts manually on Fitbit, but I'm not sure how accurate they are (imo they seem a little on…

How does the Fitbit Calorie adjustment work?
Sorry if this has been asked before! But just trying to find out if I still need to add workouts I've done through Fitbit to MFP, or if these calories are recorded in the Fitbit calorie adjustment. I ask because I recorded some swimming the other day, and my previously positive adjustment changed to a negative.…

Restarting!
Hello! I've been a member here on and off for two years now. Lost an AMAZING amount of weight before (the lowest I got to was 199!), but slowly stress and overeating has crept me back up to the 221 mark, and I'm DEVASTATED. So I've decided to pick myself up, brush myself down, and start my goals up all over again :)

Do you record weight gain?
I've had a bad few weeks (but going to fix it starting today!) and I've put on for the last two weeks. I didn't record this on MFP in case seeing my weight climbing instead of going down would dishearten me. I was curious if others have done the same, or if you always record your weigh-ins, regardless of the number?

Foods LOW in protein?
I have a big problem of always going over my limit of protein, and some days, I end up going way under my calorie limit because I'm so concerned with keeping my protein down. For example, today, I've gone over by 16, just by having chicken for dinner, and a soup at lunchtime, and I couldn't have had any less for breakfast,…

4 years ago...
I went to the doctors today, and mentioned to him about my attempting to lose weight, and he wanted to weigh me because the last recorded weight he had for me was in 2007. He told me I weighed a kilogram less than I did 4 years ago! I know that's only about 2lb, but considering I would've put weight on over those 4 years…

How often SHOULD you weigh yourself?
I've been weighing myself once a week, but I've seen most people on here do it more often than that, which made me feel like I'm doing something wrong. Was just wondering how often other people do it, and what they recommend.

My nephew is my new motivation!
I just became an auntie yesterday to a gorgeous little boy. And I've decided that he's yet another motivation to add to the list. I don't want my nephew to know me at this size, or know me as "the fat aunt"...I want to be slim so he never has to remember me the way I am now!

Explain (in simple terms) eating exercise calories
I just looked at the post by banks1850 on why you must eat exercise calories, and it got me more confused than when I started. I always assumed that the more you exercised, the more burnt off, and can't understand why you would eat these back. Can someone explain in non-scientific terms the rationale behind eating these…

Tracking Body Fat Percentage?
I've seen a lot of people on here talking about tracking percentage body fat, and I was wondering how you go about doing that?

Looking slimmer, but no difference in hips?
Has this happened to anyone else? I've been looking and feeling slimmer since I've been losing weight, but for the last 2 or 3 months I've been measuring myself (I do my measurements once a month, but I've left it longer since my last check), my hips are still the same size, despite it being there that the weight looks…

People Noticing!
I'm a glass half empty kind of girl, so I really feel like I can see no difference the 30lb I've lost has done to my body. But, just after Christmas, me and my mum saw a neighbour, and I went to the car while my mum and him were still talking. When my mum got to the car, she told me that he'd asked how I was, and then told…

Tracking Calorie Burn on Fitness Games
With the fitness games I have, I'm told how many calories I've burnt, but given how much burn I feel, and how much I sweat when I play them, I feel like I'm burning more than it claims. Therefore, should I be using their built in calorie counter, or my own HRM?

Calorie Burn of 360 Kinect?
Hi, I am thinking of getting an x Box 360 with Kinect, and I was just wondering if anyone uses it, or if anyone knows the calorie burn of games like DanceMasters, or any other games that can be recommended other than Your Shape.

Question about water retention
I was just wondering on average how many pounds do you put on in water retention before your period? Just curious as mine started yesterday, and with my weekly weigh in today, I've stayed the same, and I suspect this is the reason, but I'd like to be sure?
