C25K NSV
I've been doing the C25K program off and on while doing regular dvd workouts. We just moved to a neighborhood a couple weeks ago where I can really do the running regularly. I've been stuck on week 4 doing the jog 5 mins and jog 3 min intervals. I couldn't do the 5 minute ones usually. Well I decided to move on to week 5…

Need encouragement...feeling discouraged...hypothyroid
I was recently started on a low dose of thyroid meds (hypothyroid). I've been experiencing symptoms for about a year or so, but when they got worse a couple months ago I finally decided to go back to the doctor 2-3 weeks ago and that's when I started meds. I've been so fatigued that just getting through the day is a…

Took a week off...still hurting.
After many many weeks of painful/tight hamstrings & shins hurting I decided to take a week off from exercising. My hamstrings don't hurt while doing nothing anymore, but they're still very tight and seem to seize up quickly if I use them. My shins now only hurt when I have to run through the house. (I have 3 boys.) I…

Prozac withdrawals anyone???
I started taking Prozac back in March or April to help with fatigue. It did help for awhile, but eventually I got sick of the side effects. Not being able to sleep (I have 3 boys 7, 4 & 21 months...I NEED my sleep!) and some other ones as well, but sleep was the most bothersome. I started taking it about every other day…

NEED OPINIONS PLEASE! Where to go from here??
I started my journey May 1st. Actually wayyyy before that. I had been at 1200-1300 calories for months with no loss at all. May 1st I went to 1530 and for the whole month of May I lost 2-3 pounds a week. In June it tapered off so I bumped to 1600 and I've stayed there. The losses have been verrrry slow in the last couple…

Which calorie needs calculator to go by??
I'm thinking I either need to lower my calories or up my calories, MFP lowered my calories a little bit, but I used google and found a few calorie needs calculators to determine how many calories I need to lose 1 pound per week. All the other calculators say right around 1800, but MFP says 1590. My weight loss has been…

Should I: Up/Lower Calories or Keep Doing What I'm Doing?
I would love some advice/feedback. I have lost 11 pounds so far which I know is great, but I keep having these weeks that I "gain" instead of lose. For instance when I started doing this seriously I was at 1200 cals for a while and exercised 3-4 times a week for 30-45 mins. I didn't lose anything. Was tired all the time…

I'm confused...why eat back burned calories???
I have never heard of eating back your calories burned until MFP. I don't understand why you would do that if you're wanting to lose weight? If you do that then what's the point of working out? Don't they cancel eachother out basically?
