Suspect Hip Bursitis - what's the best way to keep weight off?
So I'm going to a physio today to try and find the actual cause but from everything I've read, this seems to be the most likely cause of my pain. I'm in constant pain on the left side of my hip, with restricted movement when raising my knee beyond a certain point. Interestingly, if I push through the pain point, it…

What can I log my indo board as?
Hi, I have an indo (balance) board and am spending about 30 mins on it everyday, working on my core muscles but doing stretches and hang ten, but I'm not sure what to log it as (I've been logging it as surfing so far!) Anyone have any idea? Thanks :-)

Got over my mental block (with a little help!)
Hey all, I just wanted to share this with anyone who shares my kind of mentality about things/life as it's really helped me out of a mental rut. Basically I'm all up for losing weight, and have made some progress so far by myself and have been happily trundling along on my journey. But I love my evening glass of wine and I…

Inspire me!
Hi everyone, Just looking for some new ideas - I think I'm in kind of some in-between stage where my weight loss is slowing down a bit and it's frustrating. I weighed myself this morning and it was pretty much the same as last week; usually I'm a steady 1lb or more down. Currently I do 30DS mon-fri everyday at 6am before…

January goal advice
Hey all, I've been on MFP since about Sept last year and through regular gentle exercise and good eating managed to drop 12lbs - put back on 3 over Xmas break :( I have a holiday in Mexico at the end of the month (we fly on 28th) and I really want to set myself a good goal to reach by that point. I'm 5'6'', currently…

30DS plus long walks
Hey all, Hoping someone can advise - last year I started walking 4 miles (nearly) every day to work and over the course of about 4 months, just by doing this (and no other exercise) plus watching what I ate helped me lose 12lbs. (I put 3 back on over Xmas, oops) Just started the new year doing 30DS, which I'm really…

Exercise ideas/advice please?
Hi All, So I'm looking for some exercise ideas that would fit well into my routine, be good for me and generally help the weight loss! I currently have found that instead of getting the bus or tube to work, I can walk it - it's about 4 miles and takes me around 1hr to do. I generally do this 4-5 times a week. It's been…

more exercise = more stretch marks??
Hi all, I can't be absolutely sure, as I've always had a few stretch marks near the top of my thighs but it seems now I'm doing more regular exercise (I walk to work most days - 1 hr long walk at about 4mph) there seem to be a lot more stretch marks all over the top of my thighs....is this right? Is there a way of…

Looking for motivation - restarting the journey!
Hey there, I started using MFP a year ago but wasn't strict at all - it's been a tough year so I was really slack and when I finally came back to restart I found I was 20lbs heavier than a year ago! A lot of my buddies from them have dropped off the radar so looking for new friends to motivate and support. I'm trying my…

Running advice - very bad joints+previous injuries
Hi All, Hoping you can help me - really want to start running again (used to do track and x country when I was younger+bouncier!) but I have a lot of problems with my joints: I had all the cartilage removed from my left knee after two accidents which tore it all up, I have fallen arches in my feet so I severely overpronate…

Wii fitness??
Hi All, Just wondering, what are some good fitness games for Wii? My OH bought me a Wii the other day (was going to get the Playstation move but it's just as expensive as buying a whole Wii system so got that instead!) Just want something that I can do in the living room on one of the days when I'm not playing sports, or…

Ideas for breakfast at work please!
Hi All, Hoping you can help me with some great ideas, as I see some really great recipes out there on the forums, but I'm just a bit stuck in a rut! I eat breakfast at work most days, otherwise I find I get real hungry by 10am and start snacking like crazy. I've been having instant porridge as we have microwaves available,…

Gym makes me bulk up but not lose flab :(
Hi All, I tried going to the gym a while ago (I had some vouchers for sessions - otherwise I can't afford it) and was doing 45-60 min cardio workouts using elliptical, row machine, recline bike and cardiowave. But my vouchers ran out and I had to stop but I felt like my legs (especially my calves) bulked up but I didn't…

Fell off the wagon!
Hi, I've been trying to get fitter again over the last couple of months and lose a few pounds but it's so hard to stay motivated! I absolutely love my food, and a glass of wine of an evening. I would have better self restraint if my man was around but he's never here, and when he is we eat loads because he's a chef and he…

Newbie, looking for advice to keep fit after knee op!
Hi all, I'm so excited to get some support to get motivated to be more active! Basically I was looking for some exercise advice. I am watching what I eat, and eating and snacking really healthy but there's something I can't help - I'm pretty limited as to what I can do to exercise. I work in the inner city (desk job) and…
