What kind of apps do folks use to help with weight loss?
What kind of apps do folks use to help with weight loss? I think I'm going to break down and get an iPhone (an older one, not the newest and shiniest), and I'm trying to justify it by being able to aid my weight loss! :)

Frustrated by shoulder pain
I've been having terrible pain in my left shoulder when I lift my arm. For example, when I tried to do jumping jacks today and it hurt so much that I couldn't continue. At my doctor visit last week, she said it's most likely tendonitis and gave me a shot in the shoulder. She said to take it easy on moving it for a few…

NSV - Doctor's appointment
I have to start out with saying I have the best doctor ever (at least in my opinion!). She's been very supportive with my desire to lose weight and get more healthy. For the last few years, I've been going to my appointments and discussing my weight. She's tried to help and guide me. And for the last few years I'd be…

C25K question
I'm sure this is going to sound like a really dumb question! But is there a big difference between running and jogging? I was looking over the C25K program for use on a treadmill. In reference to speek, the page I was looking at said run as slowly as possible. It says that if you can run more slowly, you're running too…

I felt sort of smug at the grocery store this evening...
I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it. We (my husband and I) were checking out. This is what we bought: diet soda (I drink 1/day, max), veggie bacon, coffee creamer (okay, not so good for you), asparagus, mushrooms, whole wheat English muffins and egg beaters. The guy behind me plopped down two boxes of hostess cakes and…

What held you back?
I have a long way to go in my weight loss journey, but I've made a solid start. Just today I was wondering why I've never been successful in my weight loss and what has changed that I'm doing so much better this time. For me, it's several things. Watching my mother having circulations issues in her leg (and she's really…

Knee pain after bike riding...
We rode 14 miles today. I know that's a warm up for some folks, but for us it was the longest distance we've ever gone. My knees started hurting a bit during the last two miles, but not too bad. Now, after a few hours, and half a pain pill, they are still making themselves known. I was just going to slap on some Ben Gay.…

This is a silly thing to obsess over...
For those of you who lost some weight prior to joining this site, did you log in your original weight, or only enter your weight as of the date you started here? I ask because I did the latter, so it's just showing the few pounds I've lost since being here. But it's really bugging me to only see those few pound when I…

What do you consider cheating?
I've seen people talking about having a cheat day, or a cheat meal. What you consider cheating? A day or a meal that puts you over your calorie limit for the day? Something that puts any of your numbers in red? Or you feel it's cheating if you eat a food that you know isn't good for you even if you stay within your calorie…

Stressing!
Stressing! How do you handle stressful eating? I was offered a position doing the same job I currently do only in another county. The main pro of the move would be that if I accept, I’d be MUCH more likely to eventually get into the office where I really want to work (less than 10 minutes from home). The cons are that I’m…

Feeling a bit low...
Feeling a bit low. Jumped on the scale this morning to sneak a peek at my weight before my official weigh-in tomorrow. I’m up a few pounds from when I weighed myself earlier this week. I’m just ending my TOM, so I’m hoping it’s water gain from that. Of course I’ve been eating more due to TOM as well. But I thought I made…

Knee pain
I was trying to do the 30 Day Shred. This was supposed to be day 4 for me. But as soon as I did the first jumping jack, I felt pain in my knee. It was a sort of sharp pain, but not a pain that said something went snap. Not sure if I'm describing it right at all. I tried to keep going, sort of favoring that leg when I'd…

Just a tiny thing...
I've lost a total of around 21 pounds so far (14 before MFP and 7 more since I started here). A co-worker called me over as we were heating our lunches in the kitchen at work and asked if I was losing weight. I told him I was trying to. He said, "I can tell." I still can't see it yet, but apparently others can. :smile:

Can someone suggest a good sports bra?
Since I've lost a little weight (7 pounds since starting here and 14 before discovering MFP), my bras aren't fitting as well as they used to. I'm doing jumping jacks for the first time in 20 years and...well...you get the idea. I'm a big gal, but not particularly large on top...but still....yikes! Can anyone suggest a…

I'm afraid to update my weight!
I've been working at losing weight and being more healthy for a while now. I'd lost around 20 pounds before joining MFP not even a week ago. I'd be really good all during the work week and relax my eating on the weekend. It seemed like I gained back in those two days all the weight I'd lost during the week. I was not binge…
