Best exercises to help strengthen without inflammation
Suggestions please? Being honest here, I don't exercise. Time factor and family is a big one but also because due to non exercising, my movements are limited. I own a treadmill & elliptical but after 10 minutes I'll get severe discomfort in my lower back. So I've looked at beginner videos - all seem to incorporate lunges.…

Not new to MFP, but looking to add more friends!
I'm looking for support in reaching my healthy goals. But not all about the weight, but people to converse about life, struggles, stress, anxiety, work, family, and all that life has to give!

Not losing fat weight. Eating correctly. Please help.
Doing the 30 day Shred. 1st 10 days level. I can feel muscle coming on, but actual decrease in fat is not happening. I eat my calorie limit of approximately 1200 calories even if I have exercised. However, I have read that in order to lose the fat portion of your weight, you need to decrease your calories and increase…

JM Beginner Shred and d.o.R question
So doing this video and she talks about 10 days level one, ten level two, and ten level three. Sounds great but isn't it mandatory to let your body rest and recover at least one full day? Two if you're really out of shape?

JM Beginner Shred
Just did the 30 min level one. What should I log this under? Aerobics? Cross training? Thoughts? Thanks!

Lots of allowable calories leftover... Food ideas please!

Working out with inflammation.
Inflammation in my back and shoulders. Usually can take 1 Alleve but sometimes just can't move. I'm short with lots of extra weight so that definitely acts as a trigger. Some areas of my body don't get moved to avoid infuriating it. Anyone else with similar symptoms?

Eat a Banana instead of Banana Muffin.
Back again. After an overdue hiatus. I've heard this from many health practitioners. Even though a banana is high in sugar it doesn't contain all the other ingredients a banana muffin does. Natural is better.

Sugar allowance?
Anyone else feel like their sugar allowance in one day seems too low? It's recommended that I have only 48 g of sugar. So I eat an apple and there is 11 grams of sugar already used up. I'm trying to stay at or below my suggested goals so I find this really difficult. I feel like all I am going to be able to eat is salad…

Stretching back of legs
No matter what I do, I cannot sit on my rump, lean over and touch my toes. This has been like this for me even when I was a child. I was a very tiny child too. I just cannot get past that little bit of uncomfortable pain you get. Is this normal? Does anyone else suffer from this? I have attended yoga classes, pilates,…

Legs feel hollow after exercise
I did some Pilates for the first time in years this morning. I didn't over exert myself in the movements and only did about 15 minutes. I am experiencing some hollow feelings in the legs since then the major urge to eat. I have had my breakfast with good proteins and some carbs (well balanced) so I am wondering why I feel…

Job affecting your weight loss?
I used to work at an office. So I was very sedentary. I don't work in an office anymore, but now I work in a retail establishment. Not clothing, not toys, not electronics...but chocolate. And not the cheap kind either! The good kind made from real ingredients. I limit myself to 1-2 treats a shift. The issue is, is that I…

Weight lifting and MFP not counting it as calories burned
Why won't MFP count weight lifting as calories burned. Especially when you do different exercises in cycles and repetition, you are still burning calories doing so, right?

Can you put TDEE into your MFP?
I can't find how to do this and am wondering if anyone has done so can you please tell me?

Please, please, please! Everyone stop "dieting"!
There is no such thing as a "quick fix", or target your hard to lose areas, or cut out carbs and you'll lose weight!! This is all false advertising so you will buy the books! Think about it! If these indeed did work, then there would not be an obesity crisis in North America, AND most of you would not need to join…

What is your craving demise?
Mine is chocolate. Good chocolate. Not the stuff you buy in the grocery store.

What is the ideal workout time in a day?
What is best to achieve your goals? I actually had someone say today that it is not the exercise, but what you eat that will help you to lose the weight. I was a little taken back by this comment as this person is a life member and now employee leader with WW. She has been doing this for 10 years. Everything that I have…

Anyone successful using MyFitnessPal?
I have been using my fitness pal for 24 days straight now and not lost any weight. This is the fourth time I have used this program because I can't afford to use ww or other paid weight loss programs. Has anyone been successful? Do you use this program as a journal for simply tracking your food? Or do you totally rely on…

I saw the post about Hula Hooping
So my question is how do you Hula Hoop? Or, better yet how do you get the memory back to Hula Hoop? I used to be very good in school at Hula Hooping but overtime, this was a skill that I didn't retain. Does weight actually affect your ability to Hula Hoop?

Sore lower back during or after walking
Does anyone else experience a sore back during or after walking? Even a slower pace? I feel like I have to stretch my back after every time I am on my feet for too long. I literally have to sit down and arch my back so that I relieve the discomfort after the walk. I am a small person that is now classified as overweight. I…

I am allowed 1200 calories a day without exercising. However, when I look at the settings of Sodium, Protein, Fat etc. It says I am only allowed 45 grams of protein a day. If I only eat vegetables and lean meats with natural carbs (potatoes) what can I eat?

Losing 10 pounds! Help please!
My goal is to lose another 10 pounds. When I started my weight loss journey a year ago, I weighed at 135 on my frame of 4 ft 11inches. I lost 15 pounds and now am down to 120 pounds. I did this on a different popular weight loss site. Since losing the weight, I have purchased a treadmill, currently working on a bedroom…
