Shin Splints
Yesterday, I began walking. I took a shorter walk of approximately 25 minutes with medium hills. My pace has been fairly slow (around 25 minutes for 1.5 miles). Today, my shins have begun hurting. Shin splints are fairly common for me. Any recommendations for recovery? Should I a) decrease my time, b) decrease my speed, c)…

What do you do......
What do you do on those days that you awaken and your brain is yelling that you can't do this, it's not worth it, this is stupid, and you should just quit now rather than being disappointed later?

Hi! This past weekend, I have been eating my meals 100% from scratch. How do I go about putting the calories into MFP? I know it is super easy when I am eating processed food. Thanks in advance.

Lost on the BMR!
I've been checking my BMR on various websites. On websites such as Healthy Living, Livestrong, Mayo, etc., my BMR is 2000. Therefore, if I want to lose 1.5 per week, I need to have approximately 1250 per day. On My Fitness Pal, my BMR is 2500 with a net intake of 1780. That's a HUGE difference over the course of a…

Eat Your Exercise Calories?
Hi everyone! I just started using this website on Friday. Today, I logged my exercise and it added the "burned" calories to my net calories for the day. Should I eat those calories? Also, I find that I am typically coming in about 500 calories less than stated. For example, my net calories is suggested 1780. For the past…
