Should You Eat At Your BMR?
At the moment my cals are set to 1400. I am 77kgs and 160cms tall. My BMR is 1600. I've heard a few people say you should eat at your BMR and others say you should eat below it. Opinions?

30DS without weights?
I love the 30DS workouts, but I feel awful silly in most of the strength sections as I don't have any hand weights. I have tried using cans, water bottles, ect but I don't get any kind of burn out of them. I still burn a decent amount of calories during and can feel the burn in my legs and abs from the cardio and abs…

Does Anyone Get Annoyed...
Does anyone get annoyed when you see really skinny people on here? I am NOT talking about people that are completing their weight loss journey (kudos to you!).

NSF - Non Scale FAIL! (Anti NSV)
I haven't told anyone in my family about my trying to lose weight. In the last month I've lost about 8kgs (don't worry it's because my baby weight is still falling off, I haven't been starving myself or pushing myself with exercise). I *thought* maybe it would be a *little* noticeable. So my father called me and asked what…

Weight Fluctuation
My weight never really knows what it's doing. I had been weighing myself once a week for a while but noticed how it kept going up and down, even though my diet/exercise hadn't changed. For the past week I've stepped on the scales several times each day and I've noticed that my weight fluctuates a lot. During a day it will…

V8 Fruit Juices
Okay so before you say to just drink water, I KNOW I SHOULD JUST DRINK WATER. But I have always been a juice junkie so now I'm slowly phasing it out by mixing in with water with more and more water and less and less juice every time. Now, to my question. V8 has the same amount of carbs, sugar, sodium and very close in…

How Do You Burn So Many Calories?
It seems that all my friends on here burn SO many more calories than I do. I will bust my *kitten* pushing myself for 30mins on my stationary bike for example, and only burn 200cals. Whereas other people will burn double or more than that. I am getting this number from the bike itself so that may be the problem, but I…

Should I Eat More Than 1200?
You can look at my diary (PLEASE disregard today - completely a fail day!) I am fairly good at keeping my cals under 1200net, but this is only because some days I force myself to exercise because I'm SO hungry and have already eaten all my cals! If I go up to say 1500 will it have a good/bad impact on my weight loss? I…

Getting New Clothes
Okay so I'm losing weight. All of my clothes are fairly big (size 18) winter clothes. It's coming into summer but I REALLY hate the the thought of buying new clothes as (hopefully) I won't fit into them next season. Even op shops ect cost at least $8+ per item and it just seems like a lot to me. I'm just not sure what…

Partner Doesn't Eat The Same
My partner doesn't need to lose weight, so I have to cook 2 different dinners every night. Even if he'll eat some of what I'm eating, they'll always be something he wants with it that I don't want. For instance I switched to brown rice but he refuses and still has white (I hate the taste of brown rice but it's so much…

Gaming Consoles?
Does anyone use gaming consoles for a partial workout? If so what platform do you use and what games? I realise that 99% of these games won't give you an ACTUAL workout, but at least it's moving and having fun! My partner and I are looking into buying an XBOX 360 Kinect for a family christmas present. I've looked at some…

Loose Tooth
My mother has a very loose front tooth which isn't far from falling out. She is seeing a specialist in 2 weeks but has been told that she should avoid it falling out if she can. Not to mention she REALLY doesn't want to be left with one front tooth! What are some soft foods she'd be able to eat in the mean time? TIA!

Would Love Some More Friends!
There's nothing like logging an exercise session or your food dairy at the end of the day and seeing someone supporting you, even by just commenting "Good work!" ect. I'm sure we've all seen a comment like that on a day that we REALLY needed it! I would love to have some more friends so I can give you this support, and…

Tired and Weak
Since doing the 1200 calorie a day plan with MFP I'm finding myself very, very tired and weak by 3pm and I usually eat those 1200 by lunch then have to work my butt off so that I can eat dinner. By night time I am so tired and weak which is dangerous because I have a 6 week old baby I have to get up to feed every 2 hours…

Soreness on right side
Whenever I exercise (be it walking, running, cycling or cardio dvds) my right leg really, really hurts. It doesn't feel like the muscle but the bone itself. It's usually localised lower but above the ankle. I don't know what to do about it. I always stretch before and after exercise but it always happens. Suggestions? FYI:…
