So Much For the Calories In - Calories Out Thing
Well. I did an experiment this week. I wanted to see if I truly stuck by the numbers and did the math...would I lose weight based on the calories in/calories out methodology. I weighed and counted all of my food this week...counting out almonds...weighing apples..etc. I wanted to be as accurate as I could. I wear a…

Now What! - Achilles Tendonitis
I am truly bummed and confused. Just when I start to get into a habit of exercising...I was doing run/walk intervals...I get tendonitis. I went and seen my doctor and she wasn't much help. Told me to take some advil for the inflammation. Well it has been two weeks and I still have to walk down my stairs backwards! It is…

I have been trying to switch it up and I have noticed this: When I am on the treadmill doing intervals (walk one minute...sprint as fast as I can 1 minute) I feel as though I am working hard and I burn the expected calories (per my Bodybugg).

C25K - Feel Like I am cheating
Hi All! I just finished week 1 - Day 2 of the C25K. The first day I ran outside and maaaann was that tough. Today I did Day 2 on the treadmill and found it so much easier. I set the treadmill to a slight incline. I feel like I am cheating...but I guess something is better than nothing. :smile: ~Lee

Ughhh...this is sooo frustrating!
Wow! I am sooo tired of this struggle. This is my second week "on program". I counted calories and added exercise...ONLY to see a 1.2 lb gain. I know that when I begin to exercise, I retain water...I thought I would counter that by drinking tons of water....still a dreaded gain. This is so mental. I know if I stick it…

Get me off of this rollercoaster!
Hi my new MFP family, Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I have been a member for awhile now...but never really committed. But my weight has just gotten ridiculous! Somebody stop me! lol.
