Breathing Problems
I'm 99% certain that it's not caused by my diet and exercise, but I want opinions & suggestions anyways. Recently, since the last week of October, I've been having problems breathing. I mean I can breathe normally, but when I do, it still feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen, so I have to take deep breaths in.…

Feeling extremely guilty!
Uni is coming to a close for this year, that means I'll be going back home for the summer. Which means not seeing most of my friends and my boyfriend for 3 months. Because of that, we've been eating out a lot, which means a lot of calories. I gave up calorie logging on Sunday because I know I went over 3000 calories (the…

Yo-yoing between "diets"
Hey guys, I'd like to ask your opinion on something. My friend (not on MFP) is currently working on toning down the fat on her stomach and thighs. She doesn't need to lose a lot of fat though, just toning down by probably 2 kgs (4-6 lbs-ish). The problem is, recently she's been going on a vegetarian week so that she can…

Not my goal weight yet, but closer!
I started 50 days ago (nearly two months!) and have shaved off around 4-5 (9-11 lbs) kgs worth of fat! I'm pretty sure at least 3-5 lbs of that is water weight, but the rest I've done with great effort! I don't weigh myself often (probably once a week or once per two weeks) and I was so surprised when I weighed myself and…

Oatmeal diet!
Hey! I was thinking of doing an oatmeal diet, nothing too restrictive, just eating oatmeal for both breakfast and lunch while eating a normal meal at dinner. It's mostly because I love oatmeal and I find it much more filling than other low-calorie options while still being low-calorie-ish. However, I know just oatmeal…

Very small achievement, but...
I'm so proud of myself! I've just started running recently and I initially wanted to go for 20 minutes today, but the numbers on the treadmill helped me a lot. My distance was 2.8km during the 20 mins, decided to go for 3km, ran another 5 mins to get to 250 calories, then went another to get to 4km, then another to get to…

Small Victories!
Today I realised that my jeans were a bit looser than usual, it's not that tight on me and I could see a small gap as well. I know it's small but it's small things like these that keeps me going :) What small victories do you have that remind you that yes, you are getting there?

Exercising Before or After Eating?
Hey guys! Tomorrow I was going to wake up early and go to the gym and decided that I would work out before eating, since I heard it would burn off my fat rather than burning off newly-eaten food, and it would increase my metabolism after exercising. But I wasn't sure if it actually worked or not. What do you guys do? And…

Cheat Days
Just wondering what everyone thinks of cheat days, and if anyone does them. I've done 7 days in a row of gym today (so proud of myself!) so I'm taking a rest tomorrow, but would also love to treat myself to ice cream as well and call it my cheat day. I've been doing well so far to avoid sweets and overeating, but my…

Improving Endurance?
I've recently become really into shedding weight and exercising, but my endurance has been terrible all throughout my life. I've been trying to run for 30 minutes a day, but find myself unable to keep up and needing to take breaks and just walk for 2-3 mins, then I run for another 3-4 mins. I know I just need to run…

How much do you lose in a month?
Hey guys! I'm trying to figure out how much people usually lose in a month so that I can set a goal for myself. It's also because I want to make sure I'm doing the right amount of progress and that I'm not doing a drastic change in terms of weight. Plus, if a month later I make the same progress as a lot of people here, no…
