Starting Again After Surgery
Hi All! I'm re-introducing myself. I've used MFP a couple of times in the past with great success. However, after an injury in November 2012, I underwent hip surgery in April (about 4 weeks ago). I've not be able to do much since my injury, and still be on crutches post-op has limited me even more! Exercise has always been…

Exercising with Injury: Need Some Help!
Hi have a lovely hip injury at the moment (suspected labral tear- ouch!), but I am CRAVING exercise. Specifically, I NEED some cardio. I count on those exercise calories to be able to eat back because I have a really hard time sticking to my 1500 per day (and I lose well by exercising more and eating more). Lately I…

Sugar Addict
I can stay away from the fat, the grease, whatever, but dangle a piece of chocolate in front of me and I just can't help myself! I would ALWAYS do amazing on my food diary if I didn't add 300 cals in ice cream at the end of the day (today they happened to fit in, but not always). Give me your tips and tricks. I live with a…

Mini Skirt NSV!
I have a short AE denim skirt that I've had for 3+ years. Last year I was so close to getting rid of it so many times because I could barely squeeze into it! Well yesterday... there was no dance to get it on, no sucking in to get it button, and no walking funny because it's too tight. It FITS! 145 never felt so good! It's…

In such a rut!
I find that the longer I continue my lifestyle change the HUNGRIER and HUNGRIER I get! I way over-ate yesterday, but actually felt full and fully satisfied (and extremely guilty) for the first time in 6 weeks! Most of this week has just been off for some reason or another. Thank goodness for exercise or I'd be waaay over…

Should I switch my weight loss per week?
I started with and currently have a healthy BMI. I've lost about 5 pounds in 5 weeks (yay!), and have about 8lbs to go before maintenance (give or take). Is 1 pound per week an okay pattern for me to continue? Or should I bump it down to 1/2 a pound per week? Or is it fine as long as it's working? I saw it written…

Runners: Calories Before a Race?
I'm running my first 10k race on Sunday (only 2 days to go!), and I was wondering about caloric intake for the last couple of days before hand. For reference, me in a 10k is over an hour of running. Should I eat more of a maintenance level for these last couple of days? I'm in my taper week and not really running which has…

Lots of Questions in One: Activity Level and Hunger
Hi everyone! I'm new to MFP (about 2 weeks) and I'm really enjoying it. I've really enjoyed being accountable for what I eat. I don't have a lot to lose (just those last darn 10 pounds!) But here are my questions. One: Activity level. I consider myself to have an overall active lifestyle. I walk to the grocery store, work,…
