CHALLENGES
I lost 30 lbs last time I used mfp then gained it all back- AND THEN SOME. I'm committed to this challenge again. I was in a Group that helped a lot with daily/weekly eating and exercising challenges! There were winners that got to pick the next challenges etc. While I doubt I'll find the specific Group that helped me the…

Large breasted
I have DDDs. I have always had larger breasts but since I gained all this weight... They're unbearable. Working out is VERY difficult. So I have 2 inquiries.... 1. How the hell do I do any exercise that involves jumping? No matter what bra I have, it hurts bad. And 2. Any tips on how to prevent or lessen sweat under there…

BIRTHDAY ALCOHOL OPINION
I have been working extremely hard to lose weight. Today is day 26 and I have already lost 14 pounds! Here's the thing... I'm going out for my birthday tonight and I was wondering what I can do to not gain weight from it. Or, at least, not a lot of weight that I can't work off in a few days. I had a good breakfast and will…

eat before or after exercising?
During the week I have a short time frame in which I can workout. It makes most sense for me to come home from work, hop on the treadmill, shower then make/eat dinner. I've heard this actually makes you gain weight??? Is that true? To be honest, I'm not sure I could eat beforehand because then my workout would be too late…

measurements
Can someone please refresh my memory for where I need to take my measurements? I had it all written out and logged my first measurements (about 1 month ago) but my laptop has since died :( So, I guess I'll start over from here! Also, do you think about once a month is an okay time span to measure? Thanks!

HRM
I got the Polar FT4. Just want some clarification on the chest strap. I have larger breasts and I feel like when I'm exercising, it moves the strap down. Are my readings going to be accurate? Also wondering about the maintenance listed. Dish washer every 5 days? That just seems.. i dont know. Im sure I should trust it but…

Macros!
I have no idea what to set my macros at!!! I have a hard time reaching my protein with this setting. So do I change it or does that just mean I need to work harder to reach my goals? I'm 190ish lbs. 5'6 I just want some advice on what my 3 percentages should be. Thanks!

CALCULATING
Ok it's been awhile since I've had a math class. Someone PLEASE help me out because these measuring/conversion sites are confusing! And I feel like its really affecting my diary entries because I'm not sure what to put so its accurate... For example, say I use the scanner to enter my food. One serving = 1/3C. What do I put…

Fitbit Ultra Tracker
Does anyone use the FitBit tracker in the tools tab?? Are there any benefits to it? I am constantly on the go at my full time job. I was wondering if I should track that or if it doesn't matter since its my usual activity.

breakfast foods
I usually start my day with either a 2 egg omelet with diced ham and cheese or a fruit smoothie. Is this enough to start my day with? I need to keep this meal around 30g carbs. Any suggestions?

stupid question..
When I log my fruit, it usually gives me only the option to select my servings in gs. I really only usually measure by tablespoons and cups, etc. So... Like if I have 1/4C fruit (which is usually the case) What's the equivalent in gs? :-/

CALORIES & food
According to MFP, I'm eating too few calories. I keep reading about "starvation mode." But I gotta say... I'm not hungry. Gosh thats an incredible feeling! But I was wondering if MFP is right? Do I need to eat more? Or different types of food? This is my first week doing this and I've COMPLETELY changed my eating habits.…

Low carb and fat

Is there anything I can do about this? This is only my first week and I'm completely changing how I eat and how I view food. I'm…
