Am I still burning calories?
So, today I walked 60 minutes on the treadmill about 2.5-2.7 pace. It was what I could handle without jogging, and I have ankle/foot problems. So, is walking at a slow(ish) to moderate pace still effective or should I be doing something else? I did go swimming for 60 minutes too.

Feet and ankles
Hi everyone. Being a big girl (I weigh about 269 right now) I am lucky and have not experienced any weight related aches or pain. Except in my feet/ankles. I know some of you girls power walk/jog, but I am not sure I could ever do that at my weight. My feet and ankles kill me to the point where it literally takes my breath…

Morning Bloodsugars
So, I am having a bit of a problem. My morning blood sugars are always within the 120-130 range in the mornings even without carbs the previous nights. I know this is not ideal. I take 30 units of lantus before bed time and no insulin at meals if my blood sugar is below 150. I have asked my doctor if I should be taking any…

Question for my fellow ladies!
So, I was wondering, If I lose a lot of weight, will I lose my boobs as well? I am already medium sized up top but I am scared I am going to have tiny boobs once the weight is gone. If so, is there anything I can do to help them "stay"?

Cold
Does anybody here get cold when blood sugar is in the normal range and especially when it is low? The thermostat is set to 65 degrees and usually I don't have a problem. It is neither particularly colder out than any other day here, yet here I am freezing my butt off. I am 269 lbs and you'd think being that big I would…

So what do you all do for exercise? What is your favorite?
I have a gym membership and have a love/hate relationship with swimming. I love it, but I don't like that I have to shower (have to, I don't feel good if I don't take a shower right away while I am still wet. I hate being wet outside of swimming so if I get dry and then go home I don't want to shower again, so I have to…

A question about carbs/sugar
So I have a question. When reading the nutrition facts about an food item sometimes it says total carbs: so and so, and then below it it says sugars: so and so. Does the total carbs include the sugar, or is it seperate?

Weight loss and water consumption
Can water consumption really make that significant of an impact on weight loss? I am trying to give up my diet soda addiction but it is proving very difficult. I am also drinking crystal light, but I know that too has to go. But drinking just plain water just seems boring. I know about lemon water, but that sounds boring…

Ankle pain
Is it normal to have a bunch of pain when walking? I am 255 lbs and never did too much walking.I know that I need to take it slow, but at first when I started walking about 80 minutes at at time it was no big deal I didn't have a problem.. About 9 days into this though its starting to hurt. Now that I am walking more I…

MFP calculations
So, MFP says my daily calorie goal is 2,420. For me (I am kind of sedentary, but I do a 20 minute walk and 80 minutes or so of cardio a day) that seems like a HUGE excess. Is there any possible way for MFP to recalculate? if so, how?

Hello everyone!
Hi I'm Staci and I'm new here. I have about 150 lbs to lose to get to a somewhat ok weight (for my height I am supposed to weigh about 130 lbs but I don't think I will ever weigh that little). I am starting my journey because I have T1 diabetes and am very obese. Up until this point (when I have finally reached rock bottom…
