Wont be able to work out as frequently
I just started exercising regularly in June. I was hitting the gym for 1.5-2 hours daily every day. I work at a school, so over the summer I have tons of free time. We are back in school now and I am so worried about gaining back everything I've lost so far (22lb since june) because I wont have the time I previously had.…

Exercising during heat wave?
Currently 115 degrees where I am. I'm delivering for postmates during the day, so I am in and out of the heat a lot. Keeping myself hydrated and well nourished but I'm definitely feeling the effects of the heat. My body is exhausted. I usually go to my gym in the afternoon but I'm wondering if there's any reason to take it…

How do I enter my workouts in MFP?
Recently started working with a personal trainer once a week. It is hard and I am drenched in sweat by end of the time. Not machine work tho, it's various movements and stretches. Last time I entered it as stretching but I don't think that will give me accurate # if calories burned because it said I had burned like 50…

Just starting to exercise, horrible cramps and pain
I weigh 405lb, just getting started on following diet and exercising daily. My goal was to go for half hour walk each day. Every day I walk I stretch before, and have a nice walk.

Obese, just starting and losing too fast
Starting weight is....423. I started 1800 calorie diet and only eating between 12-8pm, as of Sunday. As in, 72 hours ago. I've lost 8 pounds already. First, are there dangers in losing too fast? Second, I have been on and off the weight loss bandwagon a thousand times before but never seen results this fast, ever. I…

Plateauing already?!??

Starting at morbidly obese--what made you finally stick with it?
I have been heavy my whole life but lately worse than ever and gaining 30-40 pounds a year. I will try to start on a plan to get healthy just to give up. If I try baby steps so I don't get discouraged, then after I don't see results I give up. If I try something drastic, I get too deprived and give it up completely. I have…

Where can I buy professional plus sized clothes CHEAP?
I'm a size 26/28 and starting a new job Monday where I need to wear full suit every day. I have one nice black blazer and 2 pairs of nice black slacks but that's basically it. I don't want to spend a lot of money because first of all I don't have a lot! Also, I don't want to be in this size for long, hopefully! Actually…

Besides calories, what else do I need to worry about?
Sorry if this is a dumb question :) I am very new to this, and so used to just stuffing my face with whatever whenever, ugh. So I am trying to stay under a 1800-1900 calories per day. But should i also worry about limiting things like sugar and sodium, and upping protein? Or do you think it's better to maybe focus on one…

Can you recommend a restaurant? 700 cals or less for dinner
I am going out to dinner with my mom tonight and need to stay under 700 calories for dinner to stay on track for today. We live in a major area and have pretty much any chain restaurant within ten miles. Where should we go and what should I get? Would like to get something tasty and filling, if possible :) Thanks!!

Anybody here severely obese?
I am close to 400 pounds...ugh. Latest is 385, I am 5'10". I so badly want to lose weight and need to. I feel overwhelmed to even start.
