losing steroid weight
I finally got my weight and BMI at healthy levels and was happy with the mirror. Then injury happened. Steroid shots in my shoulder and oral steroids plus lack of activity have caused me to gain 7 pounds in 3 days! Not sure how to combat this type of gain. All I can think to do is stick with my clean eating/low carb…

After a long ride
This may seem silly to some but, after a long ride does anyone else notice the scales going up? I rode all weekend 400 miles Saturday and another 400 Sunday. Yesterday morning I was 4 pounds heavier than I was before we left Saturday. I drank tons of water yesterday and have lost all but 1 pound of it today. Had the same…

If you walk for exercise........
I love to walk. It is my primary source of exercise. Recently I have noticed people talking about how long their walk was (time) not how many miles it was. My goal is usually 3 miles, But If I am pushed for time or because of weather, I will walk 2 miles then get on the elliptical when I get home. Should I be trying to…

16 days with no loss
I have been 16 days without losing an ounce. I have actually gained 1.5 pounds. I don't think it is muscle gain. I don't work out that hard. I walk, do elliptical training, crunches, planks and trying to do the c25k. I have only been over my calories 1 time and that was yesterday. I was only over by 19 calories and didn't…

How do you handle vacation eating?
I have a mini vacation coming up next week for 4 days and not sure how I am going to handle it. I am heading to the beach for Bike Week which usually means lots of seafood, including oysters fried, raw, baked, and steamed, beer, tropical drinks and beer. I'm sure I can locate a salad or something very light for lunch but…

Elliptical or treadmill
Which burns more calories? I have a basic treadmill that I use daily but I see people posting their elliptical workouts and they burn 2-3 times more calories than I am burning for the same amount of time. Would it be beneficial to own both? Maybe alternate daily?

7000 calories deficit
I had a 7000 calorie deficit for the week, walked 5 miles for 5 days of that week, and only lost .5lbs. Whats the problem? I thought with that big of a deficit I would lose 1.5-2 lbs a week. These stats came from my fitbit report for the weekending 2/17. I am using the harder plan, on fitbit site, which says 1000 calorie…

Any bikers on board?
Anyone here like to ride? I love to get out of the house and get my knees in the breeze. Would be nice to have some friends on MFP that love motorcycles like I do. Nothing clears the head like wind therapy. So if you ride add me!

New and looking for support from like minds
I'm new here, but not to the weight loss/diet battle. I have probably tried every diet out there without much success. I have struggled with my weight for the past 21 years, since my youngest child's birth. I am interested in finding friends and support that I have more in common with than just being over weight, so let me…
