Anyone had swollen bursa on knee?
I fell walking down a hill a little over 3 weeks ago. Landed directly on my knee and then caught my wrist. Mostly healed, but my knee still has a bump right on the top. It's soft and squishy. I have full range of motion and can walk, swim, bike, etc just fine. Just can't sit on my knees. No, I haven't been to the dr, but…

Letting bum knee heal - need some exercise ideas
Fell 10 days ago on my knee. It's healing up (mostly) and I'm trying very hard to let it rest to see if it heals the rest of the way before exercising my high deductible dr's visit. In the meantime, it's killing me not be able to walk/bike ride/jog etc. Any suggestions for burning a few calories/stress relief that don't…

New MapMyRun link and calories different than MyFitnessPal
I've used MapMyRun in combination with MyFitnessPal for the last year+ with great success. I walk/run with the GPS on mapmyrun and then use the time and average pace (as close as I could find in myfitnesspal) to log my calories. Today I saw that they have the 2 apps linked and thought - wonderful! But, when I importated my…

My FB is flooded with the latest miracle shake ...
In January I started MFP. Tracked my calories, changed my diet to get more bang for my calorie, gave up pop, added lots of water, got a little more exercise (walking around the block or during my kids practices) and lost 40 lbs over 6 months. Raised my calories a little, kept up the exercise, still track my calories and…

phone app for basic strength training?
I'm at goal, walk regularly, maintained for a couple of months. I'd like to add some strength training in to give myself some new goals. Just things I can do at home. I have a small kettlebell, a basic "all in one" exercise machine that I could do some basic things with, and of course push up, plank, situp, squat, etc type…

People are starting to ask me how to get healthier
You know you have had some success when people start asking how you did it and really listening when you explain that it isn't a gimmick, doesn't cost a lot, just tracking and making better choices ... nice to feel like you not only helped yourself, but maybe can help someone else be healthier too!

Gave in and went jeans shopping this weekend
Broke down and bought new jeans this weekend now that I'm at goal and mine were falling off - size 3/4 and 1/2 - wow! I KNOW sizes have changed because I never wore a size 1/2 note even since junior high and I was an athlete. But - in comparison to recent years I'm down 2-3 sizes. Even found a pair of XS capri dress pants…

leg aches/cramps ...
So I am happily where I want to be weight wise. I'm balancing +/- (usually a little plus) on my calories and still trying to find the right balance of calories for maintaining. The last week has been really crazy so I haven't done as good a job as I should (school starting, etc) - so if you look at my food go back a week…

So now that I'm maintaining and still logging and still working to get all the nutrients I need in - I am still coming up short on my potassium, vitamins, calcium and iron. Should I add a vitamin supplement? Any suggestions? Obviously I want to get as much through my food as possible, but when I look at my weekly averages…

My 7 year old learned to ride her bike
so she and her older brothers have been joining me for my walks (I walk fast and she can't keep up otherwise) the past week or so. Came home after a long night of Vacation Bible School last week and out she comes in shorts, tennis shoes, and with her helmet ready to go ride - so we did. I posted a picture on facebook and…

and 20 years later ...
A little over 6 months ago a friend showed me myfitnesspal - figured if she could do it with her schedule as crazy as mine I could to. So I started - no big declaration, just decided to eat healthier and be healthier. Set my goal of our 20th wedding anniversary and the weight I was when we got married. Today is our…

Almost at goal- what do I do now?
I'm 5'7" and have lost 32.5 lbs (average 1-1.5 per week) since January 7 to put me 1/2 a pound from my goal weight of 125 (which also puts me at a healthy bmi). I've been on a 1200 calorie diet - eating back my exercise calories (mostly lots and lots of fast walking). I absolutely will continue the healthier eating, lots…
