Tracking Physical Therapy? Upper body exercise suggestions?
I'm recovering from a severe ankle sprain/partial ligament tear and I started physical therapy last week. I'm not sure if I should try to include this is in my exercise log or leave it out? Also, as I'm very limited with the amount of walking (my main form of exercise) that I can do right now, any suggestions for upper…

Feeling beaten down and family is no help ...
Anyone else feeling down about their weight? Mine had always fluxuated about 10 pounds and then about 6 years ago, I lost 20 pounds and managed to keep it off for approximately 2 years by calorie counting and walking. Then came what I call the tonsillitis epidemic ... I had tonsillitis for 6 months straight,and was on so…

"Melted" Chicken
Dubbed "Melted" Chicken by my brother, this is a healthy, 300-350 calorie meal that my family makes all the time, and its super easy. For myself, I use 4 chicken thighs, 2 red potatoes that are about the size of apples, 6-8 carrots depending on thickness, half an onion, 2 garlic cloves. Rinse and season chicken with pepper…

Starting again!
Hello all, So last year, I had what I like to call my "tonsillitis epidemic" - close to 5 months long of agonizing pain and many rounds of steroids. Which of course made me gain about 20 pounds. Now that the steroids have finally left my system (I was left with bloating, and strange leg tingling for several months after),…

back ... again ... frustrated!
I recently put on about 15 pounds from being sick - chronic tonsillitis ... the weight gain is a combo of being basically bed ridden every night after work for months + multiple steroid rounds. so frustrated, I was losing weight before I got sick, and now I'm at my highest weight in years. oddly, it all went into my thighs…

feeling seriously fat today ...
so, I've been on and off this site for the past 2 years or so, and now I'm back to the weight I was when I started (about 10 pounds higher than I want to be). my latest motivation/humiliation is an upcoming wedding - I am a bridesmaid, and got measured last night for the dress. now, I know that bridal sizing is different…

does anyone here have hypothyroidism?
recently my mother, my aunt, and my grandmother have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and I will be getting tested for it soon. I was wondering if anyone here has it, and if they'd be willing to discuss it? thanks!

Do you consider your job (i.e. desk job) as "exercise"?
So I've been wondering about this for awhile, how many of you put your job as "exercise" on here? I have a desk job with probably 30 minutes total daily of actual exercise (walking around, up and downstairs). But obviously when I'm working at my desk I must be burning some calories. I guess my ultimate question is, will…

question for those who work desk jobs
hey all, so I've been working at this job for about 2 months, and I like it, but its mainly me sitting in front of a computer for most of the day. I am really slacking on the exercise, and I was wondering if any of you out there who are in the same position have some suggestions? I get an hour lunch so I try to take a 30…

I need to get back in the game!
I first joined MFP back in March, about a month before I moved to a different state. Prior to joining MFP, I lost 4 pounds on my own, and then after joining MFP, I had gotten down to my goal weight by the middle of June. I was so motivated before, I watched everything I ate, exercised every day for 30 minutes. Then in the…

my first pound gone!
woohooo! I lost my first pound! I'm going into my third week on here, and I've already lost inches, but stepping on that mean scale and seeing a pound gone is such a great feeling! Take that scale! haha. good luck to everyone this week, we can do it!
-
progress!
Well, I've been on here for about two weeks, weight has stayed the same, but I'm losing inches! I lost a half an inch off my waist, and an entire inch off my right thigh (my left thigh has muscle atrophy, so I doubt I will lose much there)! It feels great to know that this is working and its more motivation to keep going.

1 week down!
Well, I've made it through my first week on here, and its been great! No noticeable weight loss so far (though I am considering investing in a new scale, since the one I have is quite old), but I'm just really happy that I not only stuck to my calories and exercise goals, but I got in exercise every day this past week…

hello out there ...
well, I'm new! haha, obviously, hence the forum topic. Anyways ... I've always been one of those girls that has an average/athletic body, which was fine when I was still playing sports. but now that I've graduated college, I haven't been as active, and I'm actually horrible at sticking to exercise, despite all of the…
