Help: 3 years of plantar fasciitis & heel spurs
Had anyone else had chronic plantar fasciitis & heel spurs? How did you get rid of it? I’m so exasperated by this. 3+ years now. I have moulded orthotics, have updated them again 3 months ago as well. After 6 months of only light exercise, my spurs were no longer sore in the mornings. Yesterday, I went to an f45 gym class…

F45 Challenge
Wondering if anyone else here is doing the F45 Challenge? It is one that is associated with the F45 gyms. Next one starts in a couple weeks and I can’t wait for it!

Eating (or lack of) while sick
So, if you haven't kept food down all day, then get an amazing tablet from the doc which helps prevent vomiting, would you eat hot chips and chicken for dinner? First meal of the day at 8pm.

Help with exercising on low carb lifestyle
Hi everyone! I am one week into low carb lifestyle change. I am actually just trying to focus on no refined carbs. Good carbs like fruit and carrots are fine. I have been riding to work each day this week (30min each way) and have had no real problem with energy or feeling unwell. Today I have eaten 1200 calories and just…

Accountability Post
So, Im back on track. Starting back at the beginning weighing 106kg, but on day 4 now and going strong. I’ve decided to use MyFitnessPal as a bit more of a journal. Not focusing on logging food so much but trying to maintain my goal of no refined carbs. I know it works as I have done it before. So far it is going well. As…

What are your non-food, non-$$$ rewards/substitutions?
I have been trying to find options for non-food and non-$$$ rewards/substitutions when I want something unheathly while at work. Basically, we have a big open staff kitchen, and regularly people will leave lots of unhealthy goodies for others to enjoy. Also, when I am stressed or struggling with something, I have found a…

Challenges at work
Day 1 back at work and I have to deal with loads of free junk food in the staff kitchen and a friend gave me chocolate as a present. I’m going to be strong and not have any. No recking day 1 for me!!!

Twitching Eyelid? What-the?
So yea, sometimes my eyelid starts twitching. I'm not sure if its visible twitching, but I can feel it. Any 'eye'deas (sorry, had to go there). It hasn't done it for a while, but started again this morning about 5 min ago. I did just do a group fitness boxing class, but that's not out of the norm. I know it will go away…

Lightest I have ever been in my memory... EVER!
So, I was just updating my profile, and got excited again about the fact that I am the lightest I have ever been in my memory (excluding preteen, although I don't know what I weighed back then either). I have no memory of ever being 85kg. On the last weigh-in before 2012 Christmas, I hit that sweet, sweet number. Over…

Help with a decision please.
So, this Friday is what's called "Industry Night" for my uni. It is where those of us who have just finished our degrees get to show our stuff to industry people. We also get to drink. The issue I am struggling with, is that there is an after-party at my friends house. Lots of my year have been invited and it would be fun.…

What have people found when increasing calories
So we hear time and time again how increasing your calories can lead to better weight loss (rather than doing only 1200 cal a day). I was wondering if people who have increased their intake from 1200 could tell me what they found weight wise over the course of increasing. Did you find you gained weight over the first few…

No loss this week :'(
Well, after loosing consistently for a month, I have had my first week where I didn't lose. I deliberately upped my calorie intake this week, as I was struggling to reach 1200. I was just always full. So it seems like that is what works for me (or at least for now). Another point to note is that I deliberately got 8 hours…

Saturday at 6am... hmm
So it's a saturday and I woke up at 6am. I think my sleeping patterns during the week are starting to take effect. Which is a good thing, but what do I do at 6am on a Saturday, when I don't have my PT session at the gym until 8:30... I know, go on MFP and tell everyone :P
-
8 hours sleep and still tired.... why?
Sigh, I deliberately got 8 hours sleep last night and the night before and Im still waking up tired. I don't have any sleeping problems like snoring or what-not. I think the fact I'm in the last two weeks of uni is making me more tired. Plus, I stayed up really late on Saturday night. I just want to wake up feeling…

Needing to pee a lot makes me happy...
That's right, I said it. Since I started drinking about 3L of water day, I need to pee A LOT more. Each time I need to go, it reminds me about how good I'm being and that all the extra water will be helping my body get to where I want it to be.

NSV - I said no to FREE Brownies
... that's right! I actually didn't have one brownie at work today even though they smelt quite nice and were FREE! Increasing my protein intake has made me feel fuller for much longer and is helping me say no to the junk food.

Cold after exercise?
Once my heart rate has properly settled after exersize, I sometimes get quite cold. Can anyone explain why?

should I start my MFP weight loss counter again?
So I'm back on MFP properly again, after a bit of a break. I found out today I weigh 95kg - this is less than what a started out at when I began MFP earlier in the year. I'm wondering if I should change the settings so it shows my weightloss from now onwards (eg. if I lose 1kg next week, MFP will say I have only lost 1kg).…

Mini Goal for today - COMPLETED!!!
Today my main goal was to force myself to get up and go to the early morning group fitness session with my new gym - AND I DID IT!!! Now my aim is to eat to not go above my calorie count (and not too far below - but that is easily done). I would also like to aim to drink 2L of water, but I feel like I should have only one…

I have never had Turkish before and was wondering what the healthier and tasty options are. On average, how many calories is a dish (if you could give me an idea of what…

sigh.... winge or cry for help, I'm not sure anymore...
Motivation, money, time, diet, exercise... sleep - oh, please let me have more sleep, let alone find any sort of time to actually do exercise. If there is not enough time to exercise, how is there enough time to use mfp effeciently? I am a uni student in my final two trimesters and there is just not enough time in the day…

I need to stick with it!
ok guys. I am writing this for motivation from you guys, but also to try and clear it out in my own head. It also makes me accountable to more than just my own conscious. Summing up the following rambling: 1. I need to eat better again, but am sick of the foods I am able to pack for uni 2. I need to exercise a little each…

Is it true: Caffeine makes you burn fat befoe your sugars?
A friend told me yesterday that cafeine changes the way your system burns energy. When exercising, if you have caffeine, the caffeine will make your body burn fat stores first, rather than sugars.
