Is it possible to run with large breasts?
I am about a 38 DD or DDD depending, not absolutely huge but big enough where most sports bras don't come in my size in stores and the rare bra I find I have to double with another bra and it ends up being so tight that I am in pain and can't breath. I have gotten so I will leave everything unhooked and then right before…

Weight loss causing more oil/acne?
Sorry this is a little bit gross, but is it normal for the body to produce more oil or acne, especially while sleeping when one is losing a lot of weight? I kind of remember hearing this somewhere, like the body just has to get rid of bad stuff with all the fat. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Macros: Is the percentage what I should be looking at or the actual number of grams?
I am pretty new to LCHF diet, about 3 weeks so far and I slipped up during the Superbowl so I had to start over. I am confused on something and that is, MFP will tell me and the books will tell me that I should be at a certain number of carbs and fat and protein per day. I used the keto calculators too and get similar…

Is this normal soreness from elliptical machine?
I have been doing elliptical machine 20 min's a day and treadmill 30-60 min's 3 or 4 days a week for the last month or so. Only recently I have started using any sort of resistance on the elliptical. I just do level 5 on one machine and 15 on the other which seem to be similar. It's just enough to feel a little bit of…

27 yr old 5'6'' 206 lbs. Looking for someone to be accountable with.
Hey! I'm 27 and 205.8 lbs as of now. I've lost 34 pounds in the past 3 and a half months and have to lose 66 more for a total of 100 (140 lbs.)

Meal Replacements
While I know it's probably better to just eat real food, there are some days where nothing solid appeals to me. This always happens when I diet. I still want to put something in my body in these instances, just so I'm not starving myself. Does anyone know of some good meal replacement shakes that I can just pull out of the…

How much water do you drink? And is it easy to overdose on water?
I have been craving, I mean really craving water lately, all the time. Sometimes I'm drinking a couple bottles an hour during the day. I have read that the body can handle about a liter of water per hour and then one could get water intoxication. I'm wondering if I should ever slow down my water on those days I'm craving…

Back and Abdominal pain + Looking at support devices for chair and to wear.
I have problems with my lower back hurting all the time ever since I gained a lot of weight. It is especially bad at the computer and when eating at a table.

Dieting and exercising hard everyday. Gained 5 pounds and still gaining!
Yes. So I am stressing out because I have been dieting much harder this past week and for some reason I have suddenly gone from 227.6 to 232.8! >_< I am, needless to say, not happy about this and am very curious as to why this is happening. I am eating 1000-1500 per day, some days maybe slightly less. I do 2-3 hours of…

Why I am binging? Walking myself through.
I've been working hard to stay on track. Last night I had my first binge in over a week. I just went off an SSRI med and I'm feeling incredibly emotional and self aware. I am worried that my teacher is mad at me because I am behind in class, I sent my adviser an email telling her about how I am having trouble focusing in…

Injuries just from being too heavy?
This is a little bit embarrassing, but after I started doing things again earlier this year, I noticed that first of all my balance sucks. I'm 100 pounds heavier and having to adapt to the new body.

Excersise while at a computer? (Under desk stationary bike pedals)
So I spend hours and hours a day at my computer. I remember hearing someone mention that they had an under desk stationary "bike" for work. I think that would be a great idea. Does anyone do this or know what kind of machine would be good? I just want to be doing something physical instead of just sitting on my butt…

Wondering how much is too little?
So I'm eating healthy stuff throughout the day, but it's low cal. If I get to the end of the day and I'm under 1200 is that going to hurt me or will I actually just lose weight the less calories I eat no matter what. I figure as long as my activity stays the same shouldn't I be able to eat around 800 and lose weight at a…

Can't sleep at night so I eat.
I get really anxious at night. I struggle with ruminating thoughts about whatever people I've talked to during the day or what I have to do the next day. I will just lay there for an hour and then give up, get up and watch tv. My core feels so electric with anxiety, I wish I could just take a pill to make it stop, but the…

I am not sleeping and worried it will affect my weight loss.
I am up every night sleepless. I usually have to catch a nap for 2 to 3 hours during the day. Then night comes and I do not sleep. It has been extra bad this past week where I am getting the 2 to 3 hours of sleep each day and that is it. My dad told me that if I don't sleep I will not lose weight. Is this true? And also I…

Can I look at any of my friends profile besides their newsfeed?
I just want to see people's diaries or their goals and so forth. But all I seem to be able to access on my phone's MFP app is the person's newsfeed, like comments and stuff whenever I click on their name. Is there something I am not doing?

What is a good phone app for tracking one's walking or other activity?
Sorry if other people have asked the same thing. (I don't understand a lot of the terminology people use on here.) I'm trying to find a free phone app that will tell me how fast and how far I walk and also track my distance on a map. I've tried Runtastic so far, but it doesn't seem to be reliable. I can try the list of…

I don't know how to keep my wraps from falling apart. :(
So I use the big tortilla wraps to make lunches, adding veggies, cheese sometimes, maybe a little meat and then some sauce like sour cream or avocado mixed with light miracle whip. I have folded the sides in then roll it up like they show on the package. I have tried having it cold, preheating the wrap on the skillet, and…

Help with depression.
So things were rough the last few years. I've made a lot of progress, but it's like now I just feel like my body is holding me back. Doing one little thing takes all of my energy. My balance sucks. Getting out of a chair takes such effort. In y'all's experience, when you lose weight does it make things a lot easier…

Is there a secret to make tofu absorb any flavor??
I have recently started using tofu in things like spaghetti and chili partly because it's healthy and partly because my boyfriend is used to chinese cooking and thinks ground meats are too hard. So I last used it in the spaghetti. I tried my hardest to season it, adding spices like I would ground meat. I also added…

Where do you get your exercise music?
I have a Windows 8.1 smartphone (Nokia Lumia 521). It works pretty well with most apps. I'm just wondering what the best place to get music from so I can listen to something while I work out. I mean I've tried mixradio and spotify, but after a set up my few singers I want the playlist based on, they play one or two songs I…

Got sick last year and gained 100 pounds. Horrified and looking for support.
Hey I'm Caitlin. I'm 27 and recently went from 140 to 240 pounds. As in since last year. I wasn't able to move around for a while and I got depressed and bored and all I had to do was eat, eat, eat. All of a sudden, within a few months, I felt as though some mean person had come over while I was sleeping and sewn me into a…
