What Do You Do When You're Injured?
Hello MFP-ers! I went to the doctor this morning for a sore shoulder and it turns out I've torn the two major muscles surrounding my shoulder. He's told me absolutely no exercise for at least a week, and then gentle walking, water exercises or recumbent cycling for at least two weeks after that. I'm freaking out a little…

Can I Lose 9lb in 4 Weeks?
Hi MFPals! Normally I'm quite content to lose weight the 'slow and steady' way and I'm not too fussed by the scales. However, I recently set myself a goal of being under 85kg by the 1st of October. I've been working really hard but a few set backs have seen me not lose as much as I normally would in the past month. I have…

So Weak!
Hi everyone, I've been slowly building up my fitness and last week I was able to run five minute intervals on the treadmill at the gym. Usually after a PT session I'm raring to go and can't wait to get upstairs and do my running - it's hard work but I love every minute of it. However, this week I've been really struggling.…

MFP tells me…

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Hi Everyone, I need some advice and love! I've just recently broken up with my boyfriend of two years. It was a weird one because it was only because he was moving to a very remote community for work, not because anything was wrong, so I don't even have the luxury of girl-power rage (I'm actually very grateful for this, I…

More Calories without More Processed Foods?
Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to increase my calorie intake from about 600 a day to about 1500, but I'm stuck a 1000. I'm finding it really hard to eat more than this without being stuffed to the point of nausea, or without including more processed foods. It's making me feel really uncomfortable and stressed but I'm…
