exercising too soon after calf strain?
Last week I was overzealous with the weighted calf raises. They were sore on Friday, then I landed on a jump the wrong way and pulled my left calf. I stupidly ignored it on Saturday and exercised on it, without icing it or bandaging it. I finally googled calf injuries and took a break this week, but I felt like such a slob…

completed level 1! 30DS has changed my attitude
Hi guys! I started a little earlier before the group, so I just completed day 10. I went for a run outside and noticed that my endurance level has improved tenfold. I went on the same run a month ago and my boyfriend practically had to drag me along. 30DS has changed my entire attitude towards fitness and taught me how to…

Any petite skinny fat girls in this group?
Any fellow "skinny fat" ladies in this group trying to use the 30DS to tone up--not necessarily lose weight? I'm 5'4", about 117 lbs, NO muscle, and an "apple" body shape (belly fat with skinny legs & arms no matter what). My boyfriend always told me that I needed to work extra hard since I'm already so small. When I first…

caloric deficit necessary for "skinny fat" girl?
Is a caloric deficit necessary for a "skinny fat" girl? I'm 120lb at 5'4" (originally 105lbs). A lot that weight is fat, exampled by my pictures. MFP calculated that I should net 1200 calories a day, but it's SO HARD. I try to burn 300 calories a day, but obviously I eat that back + more. Also, I've only been doing cardio…

Does Whey or Fructose make you nauseous? Switch to soy?
I'm trying to figure out which ingredient causes immediate nausea/headache for me. I've drank Muscle Milk and TJ's chocolate whey powder, and they all make me ill. A friend suggested protein bars instead. I just ate half a Power Crunch and it made me feel exactly the same. It has Proto Whey protein blend and fructose in…

TDEE vs Net Calories?
Sorry of this may be a DUH question, but according to http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ my TDEE + BMR is 1861 CALORIES/DAY. (According to Scooby, TDEE is 2077 calories/day.) I included minutes for exercise/activity in my TDEE calculation on IIFYM, so I'm going with 1861 calories/day for TDEE. My question is: should I be…

Lost weight but not inches??? Help!
Hi everyone, I began using MFP somewhat regularly about two weeks ago. Thank you for all the helpful advice along the way! I had another checkup with my doctor yesterday, after a month. Apparently, in the span of a month, I went from 124 to 118.5 lbs. Both the nurse and I were surprised. Granted, the checkup was first…

newcomer to healthy diet and exercise
Hi everyone, I just started counting calories and exercising regularly for the first time in my life. I always weighed between 105-110 lbs my entire adult life, but a sedating medication made me gain 15 lbs. With my doctor's advice, I've weaned myself off medication and adopted regular exercise to tackle insomnia. But how…
