Too hot. Overheated.
I had to be outside today. It was 99 in the shade. That is a bit more than 37 C for the rest of the world. Basically, hot and humid. The air went out in my truck so I started off too hot. Ran out of cold water. Then the air conditioning wasn't working well if at all. So got way too hot in a hot dark green truck. I am…

Sedentary vs lightly active
Trying to decide which I should pick. Starting today, I am watching my 2 great nephews ages 6 weeks and 2 years during the week. I would not call myself active but i am up and down getting bottles. cups, toys, food, and sometimes carrying one or the other, either 30 something or about 12 lbs. but much of the day I am…

Sedentary vs Lightly Active Question
I would normally classify myself as sedentary but as of today I will be watching my 2 great nephews ages 6 weeks and 2 years old. I think I may need to change my lifestyle to lightly active but am not sure. I will still be able to be sitting much of the time but I'll also be wrangling an active toddler and carrying a baby…

I hate sagging pants
I restarted using MFP to lose weight about a month ago on doctor's orders based on some intestinal issues that may clear up with weight loss. I am no down 17 lbs which is good but my clothes are getting loose. With the stores closing, Amazon limited to essentials, and not wanting to venture to Walmart while Covid 19 is…

What to eat when feeling sick
I am not feeling well and just don't feel like eating much. So far, I am going to be way under calories for today. I am not throwing up just don't feel like eating. I think I may have a sinus infection and getting an ear infection. I will be seeing the doctor but haven't yet. I also don't feel like any exercise. Ideas on…

Fat!?
Anyone have any ideas on how to get more fat into my diet? My diary is open but the last week isn't representative of my eating (car trip with food not completely in my control.) I can meet my other macros most of the time but fairly consistently don't eat my fat. I can not eat raw or roasted nuts because they tear up my…

measurement question
I have been losing weight and finally started tracking my measurements about every 2 weeks since November. I have lost inches or fractions of inches everywhere but in my calves. I only just started walking yesterday otherwise have not done any regular exercise aside from normal household chores and chopping more…

Too little fat?
I have my goals set at the defaults. I am almost daily under by 25-50% the goal for fat consumption. I hate goopy sauces and spreads which means I have never eaten them. My main fats other than olive oil or canola oil to cook with come from dairy products. I can't eat nuts as they tear up my intestines. Does not eating…

Treadmills
Hi everybody, I need to buy a treadmill because I need to be able to walk and maybe run eventually. My doctor has suggested a treadmill as opposed to outside walking because of some health and related safety issues. I am up to walking a mile at a time now and could probably go farther. I need suggestions on features that I…

First Walk
It seems kind of silly to post this but I need encouragement. I talked hubby into walking with me around the block last night. When I mapped it, it was only .4 of a mile. I was scared to do it alone. I am over 100 lbs overweight and have knee problems. I was afraid I wouldn't make it. As it was, it wasn't my knee that gave…

What do you do when sick?
Hi everyone, I am fairly new and started getting sick. I really do not feel like eating anything and only drinking tea. Do I really need to eat when I can't keep food down? That just seems silly to me but I don't want to go into starvation mode by not eating. I also don't think straight when I don't feel well so someone…
