Chiropractic care
Curious to know what other people think on this. I’m generally a *major* skeptic on anything alternative but found myself yesterday at a first adjustment. Woke up sore and in pain and questioning the legitimacy of any ‘medicine’ that creates more pain-no intention of ever doing that again! I’ve heard great things from some…

Plateau
Hello all, going through what might be a plateau possibly. Stats: 169-170, 5,4. 1530 calories a day. Exercise 3-4 times weekly (each time walking at 3mph for 20 minutes then weights for 10 minutes). I started out losing about 2 pounds a week, even last week it was like 1.6 pounds. Then all of a sudden, nothing. It’s been…

Calories in beef
For dinner I had a 7 oz eye of round steak, it was sssooo good. Only problem is that I’m seeing a huge variance of the estimated calories over the web, including the usda website. I logged it as ~340 calories but not sure if I’m close. Any ideas? How do you calculate when there’s so many different estimates?

Calcium rich foods
Hey all, I’ve noticed that in a day I have been getting anywhere from 40% to 90% of my calcium needs, usually it’s 40-50%. My iron intake is also lowish. I’m not a fan of drinking my calories (milk, almond milk, etc). I do love Greek yogurt but there’s not much calcium in that. Any ideas for calcium rich veggies? Or foods…

One Day Failure
So, yesterday during a social event I accepted a margarita from the host. Of course that led to an excess of snacking of chips, pretzels, grapes and such. I probably consumed an extra 700 calories. In the past this is how I go back to not dieting, one bad day and I’d give up. How do you all stay in a positive mindset and…

Veins?!
I have been barely exercising (walking) 3-4 times per week (30-45 minutes each time) and lightly lifting weights (5-8 pound dumbbells and a weight machine with basically a pull rope/row type thing) about 2X per week. I have placed emphasis on my legs, arms and chest. I noticed today (hours after exercising) that veins are…

Eat Fit Go Calories
Hey all, wondering if anyone has tried Eat Fit Go? I tried it today and my meal was like 340 calories for a large portion of zucchini noodles, around what looked like 6-8 oz of chicken and a pesto sauce with cheese. The calorie count seems off to me by at least 100. Just wondering what you all think if you’ve gone...

Injury or arthritis?
So I’ve been exercising 30 minutes every day by walking on a treadmill at 2 MPH (which is slloooww) and somehow my hips and ankles are hurting. It’s at the point of limping and the feeling that my legs might buckle. I have not done anything atypical or strenuous, I am 50 pounds over weight and 30 years old. Any ideas of…

Step counter
Anyone use the iPhone step counter and sync to mfp? Curious because I just noticed it and wondering if anyone uses it.

How long did it take to lose 50
Question, how long did it take you to lose 50 pounds? I’m wanting to lose 50 in 6-8 months but fear it’s not possible. Stats: 5,4, 181 pounds. 1600 calories per day with ~20-30 minutes exercise every day. Walking and light weight lifting

Weight gain with losing?
Hi! So I have been trying to lose weight for a while now. I got a gym membership a week ago and have been exercising for 45-60 minutes per day. I have been watching what I eat, and calorie counting as well. However, I hopped on the scale yesterday, and I have gained about a pound. Could that be muscle? (I have been working…

Significant Other's and Dieting
Hey all! So, I have just restarted my dieting/light exercise routine again after succeeding (I lost 25 pounds) and then gaining it all back :( Here's the issue: My fiance is overweight, probably by around 70-100 pounds, and he hates veggies. Sometimes with out meaning to, he sabotages my diet, by eating fatty foods and…

Amusement Park Food
Hey everyone. So I'm just getting back to dieting again and really want to succeed. However, it being summer and all my bf and I are going to six flags. We're going to be there the whole day and won't have a car to keep food in. I *know* that 95% of the food is going to be awfully high in calories and cholesterol. So I'm…

Weight Loss: Round Two
Hey everyone! I'm kind of in need of advice and all that. A year ago I managed to lose ~22 pounds in about 6 months. Then, after meeting my bf (and lot's of eating out)...my weight went up. He is also wanting/needing to trim down too at ~280 pounds at 6,2 (I'm making an educated guess on that). So I'm currently ~154 pounds…
