^THIS!! No one is expecting you to stay in a posture as long as an expert or be able to bend yourself into a suitcase on the first day. It is your practice, take it to the places you feel comfortable with.

I would suggest you talk to a professional. I'm not an expert but to me it sounds like you are on the start of a very slippery slope of an eating disorder. You acknowledge that you know only eating 800 calories and working out a lot if not healthy, yet you do not know why you are continuing to behave this way. Please speak…

They are pricy, but worth it. I can actually run without getting slapped in the face with my boobs. (38DD) I can't do any high impact workouts without my Armour Bra!

I have never heard of anything bad about drinking lemon water, quite the opposite actually.

Agreed! Finding a teacher you like can make all the difference. The different styles of yoga can make a difference too. I prefer slow flow much better, a fast Vinyasa makes me feel rushed. I LOVE Yin. Being able to sit in a good stretch for several minutes feels wonderful.

There are many uses for yoga straps. http://youtu.be/k7ocWNpZvhg

YES! If you are going to do yoga at home you will need to invest in some basic equipment. Blocks, Mat, Straps, etc. Blocks really help with modifying some poses if you are having trouble with the full pose.

http://www.yogafinder.com/yoga.cfm?yogastate=PA&yogacountry=USA&yogacity=Philadelphia Free classes might be hard to find, unless it is at a gym you already have a membership to. My gym has many classes for different levels. If you can't find a class, if you have a friend with is experienced they may be able to help. Yoga…

I am a believer in taking classes with a trained yogi. If you are still a beginner you need the guidance and adjustments to make sure you are doing the postures correctly.

RS100 is not meant for all day use, it is for high impact workouts. The calculations to calculate total burn in day to day activities is different. You want FA20 for that http://www.polarusa.com/us-en/products/improve_fitness/fitness_crosstraining/FA20

At that weight moving around can be a struggle for some, joint pain, shortness of breath, etc. If able, walking is probably the best option. Slowly increasing his speed until he is at a fast walk. I wouldn't recommend he move to a jog or run until he brings his weight down significantly. The amount of impact on his joints…

I have this HRM for over a year. It works great for my purposes. My only compliant is that it only has 1 training file. I never have cross talk issues with the watch and it connects with all the gym equipment. I have used it for running, walking, plyometric cardio and swimming. If you are looking for a basic HRM with…

Focus on consistently meeting your calorie goal, once you have that down begin to worry about hitting the macros. If you aren't sure what ratio you should be at to meet your overall fitness and health goals, chat with a nutritionist or dietitian. You will get many options from others on here, but most of us aren't educated…

I still workout between my runs (I'm loosely following C25K). I go with lower impact workouts such as swimming or yoga. Also can make them Arms day for strength. I try not to do a legs day on a running rest day so that my legs can recover.

Fashion accessory, I'm not liking this new fashion of sexy hose in the workplace though. Stick with nude or black please.

Very good point. We are all different, some are lucky and fit nicely into the "Average" some of us aren't so lucky. I like to use Scooby's calculator since it offers a calibration factor. http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/

There are almonds without salt added, you can try that along with other no salt nuts. Be careful on the portions though, eating too much of healthy foods is still eating too much. I like veggies so my desk top favs are: Carrots with Hummus Celery with Peanut Butter Bananas Grapes Trail Mix (divided into appropriate…

My suggestion is to figure your TDEE using only your day to day activities not your workouts. Things such as you job, cleaning the house, caring for the kids, etc. Then use HRM and enter your calories burned to get added back to your net calories. Adding in your workouts to your activity level is a far rougher estimation…

The color of ones skin does not make them any more or less attractive. I don't think anyone on this planet can claim 100% ethnicity. You are a good person by your thoughts and deeds, that doesn't change if you skin is black, brown, yellow, white or purple for that matter.

Both. Net Calories = Total Consumed - Exercise Burned Remaining = Calorie Goal - (Total Consumed - Exercise Burned)

If you are working in the US, not getting a break is against the law. Every state is a little different, but all require some type of break 15 or 30 minutes if you work 4,6,8 or so hours.

MFP doesn't do the work, YOU DO! Its not about MFP working its about you being serious about eating healthy and exercising. MFP is just a tool to help you track your food and exercise. It is not a diet plan. If you don't measure your food accurately, enter ALL the food you eat and do some form of activity regularly. You…

It really all depends on the amount of effort you want to put into tracking exercises. If you want to simplify things and you have a very regular work out schedule and rarely miss your planned workouts, counting it into your TDEE may work for you. I myself only count my day to day activities and enter my exercise…

There is this new cleanse, all the celebs are doing it. It can be hard to do though. First, you need a big glass Then you have to fill it to the top with water The worst part is you need to drink the glass and repeat several times a day.

Looked at your diary and your sodium levels seem ok, but you could still use to get more water intake. It takes alot of trial and error to find what works for each person. What works for me may not for you, or anyone else. Our bodies are all different. I would suggest eating more, I know it sounds crazy, but it is common…

http://www.vegetariantimes.com/ Knock yourself out!

To be honest, I DO NOT want guys hitting on me while I am working out. I am there to get my sweat on, that is the bottom line. Leave me alone and let me do that.

I prefer the Katch-McArdle forumla, but it requires you to know your body fat percentage. The Katch-McArdle Formula (BMR): P = 370 + \left( {21.6 \cdot LBM} \right), where LBM is the lean body mass in kg. Each formula will give you a slightly different answer. Best bet is pick one and stick with it. You should be eating…

I'd like to be a size 6 tomorrow, but it ain't going to happen. Just stick with it. Eat right, workout regularly and the changes will come. Stepping on the scale and getting out the measuring tape everyday isn't going to make it happen faster. Also, faster is not the best route. Slower weight loss if healthier and if you…

1. Try to reduce your sodium intake (its a hard point for me too sometimes) 2. Drink more water 3. Clean diet (as mentioned, less packaged foods, more fresh ingredients)
