When you can't do cardio because it hurts your boobs so much you feel like they'll rip off! >:(

"Investors"
I am a big fan of Neil Patrick Harris, so of course, I watch How I Met Your Mother. His character Barney goes to gyms and encourages slightly overweight women so that when they hit their peak "hotness" he can say he's been there for them all along... and sleep with them. He calls it "investing". Do you people think guys…

Cracking Eggs
I eat an egg white omelette (with spinach and bacon) almost every morning. Almost every morning I have at least 1 bit of shell in my omelette. How can you crack an egg so a piece of shell is less likely to sneak in? I always check the bowl but I can never find the culprit!

Just A Question
Okay I am REALLY not trying to sound like a mean person here! People are ALWAYS on the forums saying "I've just started MFP and I can't eat 1200 calories a day, it's too much!". Am I the only one that thinks it's a bit odd that these people ended up overweight in the first place? I have to be missing something.

Should You Really Log Housework?
I see a lot of people logging housework as exercise. I'm not exactly sure why but I'd feel very odd logging this. I have worn my HRM during my housework time the last 2-3 days and on average I'd burn about 100cals for an hour of housework. That's pretty significant for me (considering it would take be about 30-40 mins to…

Ideal Weight?
I'm not sure what my ideal weight should be. Last time I remember being happy with my body was at 14 when I was 55kgs. This was before 2 kids and I was obviously shorter! So I'm not sure what weight to shoot for. I am currently 74kgs (started MFP at 86kgs) and I'm 160cms tall. I have been thinking 60kgs but I was 60kgs…

Bite??
Just got bitten in between my toes by what I assume was an ant. My toes were THROBBING now it's pretty much the whole foot and I can barely walk on it. Any ideas as to what it is or what I can do to relieve the pain? :(

Ingrown Toenails
I've had ingrown toenails on both my big toes for over 3 years. For the past 2 years the entire top half of each tow had been swollen and red, even a slight bump and I am in pain for at least 10mins before it dies down. Everyone I know just kept telling me to leave it alone and it'll go away, just soak it in antiseptic and…

Is 1200 really enough?
I am 75kgs, 160cm tall and 18. I am fairly inactive if I don't intentionally exercise. Is 1200 cals a day enough for me?

What to do at xmas?
I am having christmas with my partners family, and as with most families, there will be a lot of food. My partner has informed me that it would be very rude to weigh my food, or to even log it in public. I have no idea what he expects me to do. I either weigh and log my food, or I pass. I can't not eat for a week!!…

Leftovers
Just a question that I probably already know the answer too... Yesterday I was over 600cals under (was busy most of the afternoon so didn't end up eating much), today I am going out with friends and will probably end up indulging in some fast food/alcohol. What are peoples opinions on eating an extra 600 today as I "missed…

Still have no idea!
Been on here for a little while now, and although I have lost a little bit of weight, I have NO idea what to eat. It's so irritating!! Wouldn't it be lovely if there was one certain way to eat that was easy and didn't cost a months rent? I can't be the only one that is eating less, but still eating crap?!

How To Stop Zig-Zagging?
How can I stop my hunger form zig-zagging all the time? Some days I will not be hungry all day, more or less force myself to eat and be under 400+ cals under. Then other days I will be super hungry and go over (although I try not to go too far over). Keep in mind I almost always net 1200 on days I am not hungry anyway, but…

Sodium
Other than water retention, which makes for a possible temporary gain/stall in the scales, what is so bad about sodium? If you drink enough water and you don't care about water retention, should you really worry about sodium levels?

Lunch Time
I find lunch the hardest meal of the day. I have already had breakfast and morning tea... but dinner is still looming overhead. I am too paranoid to eat lunch because I am afraid I won't have enough calories left for dinner. I have my meals calorie allowances planned out so I don't go over, but I still worry "What if I'm…

New Years Resolution.
Is it a far fetched goal to lose 25kgs in one year? I'd like to make my "resolution" for 2012 to hit 50kgs before Christmas. I'm currently 75kgs. I'd also like to hear what other people's resolutions are for the new year :)

How Can I Get Max Calorie Burn?
Okay so each day I don't get a whole lot of time to myself to exercise. Things like cleaning, laundry, changing my kids bums, feeding them, cleaning them and making them laugh and giggle are far higher up my priorities. I do walk most mornings for about an hour with the double pram, but I don't want to consider this…

Christmas - Maintenance?
So over Christmas week I will be with family. There will be lots of food. I'm thinking of switching to maintenance calories for that week so I'm not stressing as much about food, but I don't gain much if any weight. Thoughts?

Not Weight Related - To Any Mothers
I am not sure how to cope anymore. I can't believe the lies I used to tell myself to get through the day, so every day is getting harder. First I'll give you a little back story, please read and give me some advise, I need it. When I was 14 I was young, in love, and stupid. I got pregnant to my 19 year old boyfriend who…

Can't Get My Eating Habits Consistent
My eating habits are all over the place. I will usually go a few days a few calories under my limit, but then one day I'll just want to eat everything in sight (like today). It is really annoying and stalling my weight loss dramatically. Any hints on how to stabilize my eating?

Abdominal Muscles
Okay so when I do my workouts and get the the ab workouts I can't do them. I can't feel or work my ab muscles at all! When I do crunches ect it KILLS my neck no matter how hard I try to engage my core. I used to be able to do them properly and knew how it felt, but I just can't "find" the muscle! I am 9 weeks post delivery…

Is There A Way...
I do not have full length mirrors in my house (THANK GOODNESS!) but I can't really avoid looking at my body when I shower. It makes me very upset and I cry a lot. This has only started since starting to lose weight. Is there any way I can stop myself from doing this? I have tried just not looking down but as I said, it's…

Push Ups and 30DS
Okay so I'm still on level 1 of 30DS and I simply cannot do push ups, not even on my knees. I can't keep my back straight, and if I go down, I can't get back up I wobble and my arms give out. During the parts where I am supposed to be doing push ups I just do jumping jacks or run on the spot. Is there any way I can teach…
