Is this funny or unfair?
I just saw a friend posted this video to facebook, and while I know it's supposed to just be a joke, I found myself feeling like it was quite offensive. When I'm at the gym 3 times a week at 7am I'm certainly not calling a friend while reading a magazine on the treadmill, I'm sweating a working out testing my limits. Maybe…

Scales question
So I've just moved house this weekend and the scales have been packed away for about 2 weeks. It struck me while unpacking that the bathroom in my new house is carpeted, whereas the bathroom in my old flat was laminate flooring. Will this make a difference on the scale? I have electronic scales which have mobile feet, so I…

What have I got myself into?
I've been at this for 1 year and 2 months now, and shortly after starting counting calories I took up running. In May I did the Manchester 10k race and finished in 1hr 2 minutes, which was just short of my target of 1 hour, but I was proud of myself nonetheless. Over the summer, however, I've been busy (read: lazy) and…

Basically, what do you guys think suits me best? My face shape has changed a lot since losing weight... This is what it's like now -…

Boobs question!
Hi everyone, I've been (seriously) on mfp for about 9 months now, and I've lost almost 25 lbs so far. My boobs have always been on the larger side, and i've gone down from a 34f to a 32dd (in uk sizes). I don't mind losing a few cup sizes, that's natural with weight loss, but what I don't like is how soft/saggy they've…

Bridge to 10k?
I have signed myself up to a 10k for charity in May and I really want to get training! I completed the couch to 5k training program last summer, which really worked for me. Basically what I'm asking is whether the bridge to 10k program is any good? I'm guessing it's similar to c25k. If anybody has a link to a run down of…

Advice on my workout routine please!
I have recently joined a gym in order to get more running in the dry/warm, and previously I had been doing c25k and JM ripped in 30 at home. Ideally, i wanted to emulate this combination of cardio and circuits and add in a bit of weights. My routine at the moment: - 10 mins row machine on 9/10 setting to warm up - Weight…

No More Trouble Zones?
I'm looking for another dvd to do alongside my current workout and was just wondering what No More Trouble Zones is like? I enjoyed Jillian's 30 day shred, and like her circuit 3-2-1 technique. Also, is this a workout with different levels and a certain number of days? Or just one workout? Thanks :)

6 week 6 pack - anybody completed?
I've just finished Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and decided 6 week 6 pack is where I want to go next! I'm looking at the vids on youtube, and I can see that there are 2 levels, but is there a specific number of days you should do each level like in the shred? Anybody want to join me in doing this workout? I'll probably…

Dairy Free replacements?
I absolutely love my mum's beef stroganoff (sp?) recipe which she has perfected over the years, but my boyfriend is allergic to milk. I love cooking for him and would love for him to try this recipe, but it uses creme fraiche (healthier version) or double cream (not so healthy!) My question is, does anybody know of a dairy…

Moving on from 30DS - advice please!
I am coming up to the end of level 3 on the 30 day shred and looking for another workout to continue exercising with! I'm looking for something similar, various exercises working different areas of the body and a relatively short time frame to squeeze in to a busy schedule but with a good burn. I don't feel like I know…

Clothes/money issues...
I'm nowhere near done on my weight loss, but already I have clothes that are too big. I'm living on a pretty tight budget, so splurging on new clothes every few months as the inches come off isn't an option (waist belts will have to do for now!). I'm thinking ahead to my goal weight, and once I reach that weight what I am…

Going to give this a go :)
I've been stalled for about 6 weeks now, eating between 1200-1600 calories, so I've decided to try out the Eat More to Weigh Less idea and up my cals. I'm aiming for at LEAST 1600 a day, but I'm not sure if this is enough of an increase? According to a TDEE calculator, my BMR is 1591 and with a sedentary job mixed with…

In need of advice
Hi, I was hoping someone out there in the MPF universe could help me figure out what is going on with my weight loss, or lack thereof more importantly! I feel like I’m doing everything right, but feel free to tell me if I’m not!! I’m logging completely faithfully – I know that not logging is only cheating myself and serves…

Wrist weights while exercising?
I am very keen to add a bit of weight training to my exercise regime, but I don't have the money to go to a gym to use the weight room. I do cardio on a small stepper machine and in on week 3 of c25k at the moment and I was wondering if anyone here had any thoughts on whether getting some wrist weights to wear during my…

Knee pain
I completed W2D1 last night (Yey!) and even though it was hard going, especially with the incessant rain, I did it! A few hours after my run my knees started to ache a bit and it''s a bit worse today. It's both knees, just below the joint so I don't think it's shin splints. Anybody else getting this? Any advice on how to…

Feeling really demotivated - what am I doing wrong?
I weighed in this morning and I'm back up to only 1kg away from where I started 5 weeks ago. It has totally demotivated me, as I don't really know what I'm doing wrong. I had lost nearly 4kg (8lbs), but now all that effort seems wasted. All that loss seemed to be in the first 3 weeks, and at my last 2 weigh-ins I've lost…

I'm just starting out on the c25k program - my first run will be tonight!! I'm wondering how to log my runs in my exercise diary? As i won't be running for the whole 20 mins I don't want to over estimate my calories burned. I've persuaded my boyfriend to do the program with me with the promise of steak for dinner when we…
