What are you eating for breakfast on the day?
So I'm already thinking about what I'm going to eat on my wedding day.... specifically for breakfast.

pain in elbow
So I've been doing more strength training recently with particular focus on arms/back/shoulders/chest. I've been lifting heavy (well, heavy for me) with low reps and more sets. It has been going really well and I increased the weight the other day but my left elbow hurt so badly during bench press I couldn't finish my sets…

Strange thing happening when I weigh in
So I've noticed a strange thing happening lately. I'm noticing that when I step on the scale after work (so in between lunch and dinner - usually around 6pm) I weigh less than I do in the morning. This goes against pretty much everything I've ever experienced in the past or have heard from others. But for months now I'm…

Step up step height
Hi - quick Q - I'm sure this is in a thread somewhere but I can't find it. Is it better to do a lower (not low but lower) step and have heavier weights for the step ups, or a higher step even if I can't up the weights as much? Thanks!

What to eat at a party??
Hi all - First time poster here and pretty new to MFP. I am going to a party on Saturday and am concerned about eating poorly when I'm there.
