Returning finally
My name is Cara-Renee, I used my fitness pal very successfully a year or so ago. I am ready to try again. Excuses only go so far and then one has to get serious again. I am nearing 50 and really need to take control of my health and fitness. Looking forward to engaging here once again :smile:

net 1200 calories
I am netting out at 1200 calories for my food each day after exercise...does it take some time to see the results? I want to make sure I am doing this right. Eating well and working out 6 days a week and making sure my calorie intake at the end of the day is right around 1200. Any feedback appreciated.

I am working out between 60-75 minutes a day and for life of me cant figure out what Im supposed to be eating. It seems no matter what i do, the scale doesnt move. I keep adjusting my…

so confused- BMR
so I have been concerned am I eating enough. Working out 6 days a week- 30-45 minutes (more each day) eating 1200-1300 calories (and struggling to eat those) I am not hungry. I have a lot of energy. I am losing inches like crazy but gained this week. I looked up on another site what my BMR was and based on their…

strange and funny NSV
Went for a 2 hr hike with my husband today. Walked the sole right off my hiking boot! The NSV part...laughing my head off that the whole sole of my boot came off (after falling and trippinIg over tree limbs) but also I have always HATED hiking. Hated doing it, miserable doing it but today I had a blast. It was good to…

NON scale victory :-)
August 3- 188.4 was my last weigh-in. I am now weighing in at 190 again but....I don't care! I have an awesome NSV! I am wearing slacks and a blouse that I might have been able to wear 5 years ago. Size 16 slacks and a lovely classy blouse. Feeling good. Maybe because I am working out everyday, I am not seeing the scale…

low sodium choices-unprocessed foods
Ok so I am looking to really watch my sodium and do away with as much processed food as possible. I dont eat a lot of it but I struggle with lunch choices at work. I usually have a protein shake for breakfast and often for dinner as well. My lunch choices are my main meal. I am struggling to find things to take for lunch…

question- Sodium
If my sodium levels are always under the MFP allowed and I am drinking 140 ounces of water everyday, does that water intake counteract any of the sodium?

mid range HRM ?
I really need to purchase a heart rate monitor but I cannot afford to pay the 150-200 that the good ones cost. Can anyone recommend one that is cheaper but still good enough to work?

moving through the pain...?
So I am gaining some momentum and have moved from normal walking to a 3.5 pace to now about 4.0 pace. Ive been walking this way for a few days but tonight doing the more brisk 15 minutes, my hips and my butt muscles hurt and burn so bad I have to slow down the walk so that I dont quit. I know that we are supposed to listen…
