Remedies for broken bones?
Recently I found out that the ball of my foot has been broken for over a year. I've gotten so many mixed messages for how to help it heal and I wish someone would just be plain and forward. As you can imagine I'm kind of "over" having a bum foot that has kept me from freely doing a lot of my favorite activities. I'm not…

8 Months Later and Hakuna Matata
8 months ago I was going good and strong on MFP, but I felt like I was becoming OVER obsessed and I didn't want to be paranoid forever about food. So I took a break. I gained a few back, but plateaued at a reasonable weight. I've recently gained a few more pounds amidst getting a new job and such. Its time to even the…

One day I eat perfectly, the next I can't stop shoveling:(
I eat around 1500 calories a day and usually eat back my exercise calories. Every other day its as easy as heck for me to follow and stay within my calorie goals while feeling full the whole day. But on the off days. . .its a nightmare. I'm a bottomless pit. If you look in my diary you won't notice it because after my…

Getting my body fat % down
I'm currently at 23% body fat. I'm 5'5, 141 lbs. I understand the exercise portion of weightloss (cardio, weight training etc. I'm currently doing boxing) but I heard from a friend of mine that your health is 70% what you eat. So what's the most resonable way I can eat and still lose my body fat at a decent pace? I'm…

Low Carbs Good or Bad?
I'm trying to cut out most of my daily carbs to see what macros will suit me best. But doing so puts my protein goal at 133g and my fat goal around 84g. Is that healthy?

LA Boxing
I got a coupon about a month ago for 12 classes at LA Boxing for cheap. They expire at the end of March. I was planning on going with my sister, but she has been busy and now sick. This morning is the beginner boxing class and, I'm not going to lie, I'm a little nervous. I haven't stepped foot inside a gym for years now…

I have lost my motivation . . . and now I can't find it.
One of my biggest motivators for getting in shape was the idea of going into the Air Force. I buckled down and did it. Last year I slowly lost 25 pounds, but I have managed to keep it off. Since reevalutating some things over the holidays I'm looking at different career opportunities besides the Air Force. Evidently, none…

Shin Splints: rest or push through it?
I have shin splints in my right leg. It hurts a fair amount, but I could probably pull through a run today. Should I just ignore it until it goes away?

Food for getting lean?
So I've been changing my macros trying to find a guideline that will help me get lean. I'm 5'5, down to 21% body fat, 135 pounds, and my macros are set at 45,35,20 (carbs, protein, fat). It's been reasonable but I'm getting bulky (which I don't mind a bit!). I would just like to get leaner first. What should I set my…

Just Donated Blood . . .
Should I increase my calories for the day, or eat the same?

Eating too many carbs?
I have my carbs/protein/fat set to 50/25/25. Any less carbs than that wouldn't be doable for me, and I would want to eat all the time. MFP suggests I eat 190g a day, which is usually fine. But some days, like today, I tend to go a decent way into the 200s. How much is too much?
