Beginner jogger...C25K
I just started the C25K program on Sunday. I have done 2 sessions so far and my legs are sore constantly. Does this pain ever go away. I can barely get out of bed in the mornings. I have been steadily exercising for the past 2 years, but this is my first attempt at jogging. I never dreamed I would hurt this bad. I've also…

Initial weight gain
Starting this month, I have gotten myself back on track with my diet and exercise. I had stepped away from monitoring both the last few months of 2012. My weight loss had stalled and I wasn't loosing anymore. So, this month, I got back to it. I went back to eating the way I had before and doing cardio 5 nights a week. I've…

Weight loss stalled this week
I have had a couple high sodium days this week and today I weighed 2 pounds heavier than on Monday. Does anyone know how long it will take to lose the water weight from the high sodium days? It was high for probably 3 days in a row. All I drink is water and it's usually 70oz. a day. Before this week, I had been steadily…

Ladies Only--Period weight gain
Last week, I weighed 241. I have continued to eat under my calorie goal and exercised all week, but yesterday, I weighed in at 244. It was very discouraging. However, I think I may be pre-mentrual. I have the Mirena IUD, so I haven't had a period in months, but it seems like I still get the symptoms of a period every…

Weight loss surgery members only ?
I'm starting to get really confused on my calorie intake and what I should be doing. According to the members of a specific weight loss surgery forum, they say you should eat 1000-1200 cals a day after surgery for weight loss. But on here, everyone says I need to eat more (my TDEE for my exercise level is 2887). One of the…

Frustrated with lack of weight loss
I have been consistantly coming in under my calorie goal and working out like mad. I was hoping for a 1 pound weight loss this week. I got on the scale this morning and I gained a pound. So frustrating!!! I'm starting to wonder if I'm not eating enough. I usually eat around 1400 to 1600 cals a day with exercise. MFP sets…

Sodium intake and weight loss
Whenever I have high sodium days, I always gain about 2 pounds of water weight that goes away in a day or two. My question is, during that time, is your body still burning fat if you keep your calories under goal? I showed a 2 pound gain this morning, but I know it's water weight from my sodium intake yesterday. However, I…

Help with TDEE

Here are my stats: Current weight: 246 Height: 5'4" Age: 30 Frame: Large I calculated my BMR to be 1889 My TDEE is where I get confused. Using an online…

Weight higher after a workout?
I was a member at Curves several years ago and I remember them having you weigh in before your workout because the weight is higher after a workout. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, why? I did a few experiments with it and usually, after about an hour workout, my weight is 1-2 pounds higher than when I started.…

Losing 100+ pounds
Of everyone who has lost close to or more than 100 pounds. How long did it take? I just started my weight loss in April of this year and I have lost 28 pounds so far (only 14 on MFP). I have about 150 more pounds to lose and it gets so discouraging. I continue to eat healthy and workout 3-4 times a week, but the progress…

No weight loss in 3 weeks
I have been doing very good on logging my food and accounting for every calorie. I do aerobic exercise M-F for 30 minutes and I go to the gym 3 days a week for elliptical and strength training. I usually try not to eat my exercise calories. I weigh-in once a week and the scale hasn't moved in 3 weeks. I have an IUD so I…
