I assume you mean The Philippines? Amazon.com ships there, although you'd probably have to pay and extra $10-$15 in shipping. Which, for a $10 scale, is still not that expensive.

Not really... everyone's palm sizes are different, serving sizes aren't always exact, etc. Where are you that food scales are "hella expensive"?

I'm going to go against the grain here, and say don't worry about lifting right away. Instead, go into the gym, and do what makes you feel comfortable and excited to come back. You've got 40lbs to lose. At -1 lb a week, that's 10 months; saying nothing of maintaining that weight loss once you've done it. You've got time to…

THIS, so much. Gifts are nice, but they are never EVER expected. I would be heartbroken if my friends didn't come to my wedding because they couldn't afford a gift. I think a card wishing them well sounds lovely.

Pick the one you like the most. The number is going to be inaccurate no matter what, and there is no way to tell by how much, so why not pick a number that you like? But seriously, if you care about the number at all to any accuracy at all, you'll have to cough up the $50 and get a bod pod or DEXA scan done. In the long…

Which one will you do more?

Unfortunately, Heart Rate Monitors calorie counts are only accurate for steady rate cardio, not for things like HIIT and weight lifting. (Take a look here: http://www.sparkpeople.com/community/ask_the_experts.asp?q=75). So while you may have burned that much, its more likely that you burned either much more or much less.…

Why do you want to do yoga if you hate it? I use MyYogaOnline.com , but if you're just starting out you should consider going to a couple classes in your area. Nothing beats having an instructor with you to correct form, give tips, and suggest modifications.

Nonsense. You will build some muscle, but you will also be burning calories. Burning calories will help reduce the 'flabbiness' of the arms. Unless you are also taking steroids, it is EXTREMELY unlikely that muscle arm will be anywhere near as large as flabby arm.

There is a huge core component to squats that is lost on the leg press, so in that way it's quite a bit worse.

There is more to free weight training than can easily be explained in a post on an online forum. I'd suggest starting with either a book (Starting Strength or New Rules of Lifting for Women are two of the most common) or with a personal trainer at your gym. Don't go out amd buy weights until you know what kind of program…

... The fact that it's in the database doesn't mean that's it's anywhere NEAR accurate. I love MFP, but its exercise database sucks balls.

Alas, the average "horseback riding" session only burns about 21 calories : http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/01/31/sex-to-burn-calories-authors-expose-obesity-myths/ So no, I don't substitute it for a workout.

Are you going to a gym with a circuit (like curves or planet fitness) or just a regular gym? A gym with a circuit, they will let you know how much to do or for how long - just ask the staff if you have any questions. A "regular" gym, I would suggest starting off with 3 sets of 8 reps (ie, do 8 lifts, rest, do another 8,…

Big calorie deficit, strength training, and HIIT would be my recommendations. Also be aware, 8 lbs in a month is at the high end of what's considered 'healthy' to lose in a month, so you may or may not be overreaching yourself here.

Don't eat right before working out? Try to stop and take a breather if you feel yourself gettting to the point where you'll puke.

How active are you other than working out? What kind of strength training routine are you doing? Honestly, it does sound like you've gained some fat. Assuming you're tracking everything correctly- you're doing everything right by the math, but your body has decided to be stubborn and ignore the math and do it's own damn…

This is a bad idea. You need a cleanse the same way you need to run your car without gas and oil.

Kinder Surprises! 110 calories each, are bought individually so I don't eat more than I intend, and come with a mother****ing TOY. What else could you want?

I'd pick up a book if I were you. New Rules of Lifting for Women if you want weight training, or You Are Your Own Gym if you want body weight exercises would be my suggestion. They both have clear explanations and easy to follow gym routines, which it sounds like you need.

I think you might be confused... Paleo doesn't eat grains. Vegetables are a HUGE part of a paleo diet!

I run in Vibram 5 fingers. It definitely took me a while to sort out proper technique so I wasn't killing my calves (the people who say 'just barefoot and your feet will figure it out' are BIG FAT LIARS :p). But once I did, I like it SO MUCH MORE. - My feet feel stronger and happier. I used to come home begging my…

I love lululemon, and I'm not afraid to admit it. If I could get away with it, I'd live in their yoga pants 24/7. My sports bra is Under Armour, though, and it is also fantastic. Mika Yoga is where I get my stuff for pole and hot yoga.

Regarding those scales: a tape measure and an online calculator are actually much more accurate. And cheaper. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=56830

I may or may not have a stash of cadbury creme eggs in my desk at work... (oh, who am I kidding, of course I do!)

This is generally a bad idea, unless you already have a solid idea of how your handstand is supposed to feel. Take a look at the link I provided - for handstands, having a 'hollow body' position is vital. Having your back to the wall encourages arching your back, which makes it much harder to hold the handstand by…

http://anthonymychal.com/2012/04/how-to-become-a-handstand-beast/ Are you practicing back against the wall or front?

A Heart Rate Monitor isn't accurate for hot yoga, because your heart rate is elevated due to the heat instead of the physical activity. The best way would to use a HRM would be to do the same workout in a normal temperature room, and use that calorie count as an estimation of what you're doing in hot yoga.

What kind of cysts? Ovarian, or? What did the doctor say was the cause of them? Honestly, I suspect it was just a coincidence. Talk to a doctor if you're concerned about your health, but I have never heard of exercise causing cysts before. What's your worst case scenario? You start working out, you lose weight. You start…

Honestly, the people on this website are the only people who believe you can't build muscle on a calorie deficit. The fact is, to build muscle you need: - Resistant Exercise - Excess Energy - Excess Amino Acids By working out, you push your muscles and indicate to your body that it needs a greater muscle base. You have…
