Motivation through fatigue
I've had success with MFP before, and it's taught me unbelievable amounts about cooking and nutrition. My current problem is fatigue getting in the way of getting out and about. For example today, I wanted to go to three shops, which I'd have to do separate walking trips for. I went to the market for meat and some veg,…

Quick question for Americans!
This is a silly question, but in the way that jelly is jam and cilantro is coriander, I've been wondering. When you say you put cream in your coffee, is it actually cream?? Or is it milk? In coffee chains it's sometimes an option to put whipped cream on top, but I assumed that was with ice coffees or fancy concoctions, but…

Jump Rope workouts/advice
Hey, I'm gonna start with jump rope while at home, but I find the search button really inefficient for searching threads, so I'm wondering if there's an already-established thread about jump rope workouts? I know the basic method, but wondering if there's anything else I should know to maximise the effectiveness. Thanks!

Lifting 12/24lbs in one hand
I've chosen 12 and 24lbs as guide weights because that's the weight of my instruments in their case. Silly maybe, but I need a guide to focus me into reaching a specific goal. I struggle to carry the 24lb case the 350 metres to college, changing hands about 5 times along the way to stop it being painful. I need to build up…

Weights at home
Hi, this must be a recurring topic but I was wondering if I could be pointed to a tutorial or something to get myself started. I've seen a *lot* of good things about weightlifting and the benefits gotten from it. I spend a lot of time carrying instrument cases around but the new one I have is too heavy to carry for more…

Music instrument = calories?
I recorded my instrument practice for today in exercise but I think it's too much calories being given - it was about 150 calories for an hour of playing woodwind etc. I know that it's a lot of breathing work but I don't think it gets your heart pumping like even walking would. Where did they get the estimations from do…

Feeling completely lost!
Hi everybody, I'm brand new here. I'd like to start eating healthier but I'm feeling lost in the sea of random information. General nutrition and cooking education is really poor in the schools here and my mam is a really basic cook -most dinners for her involve meat + potatoes + carrots. I'm currently at college and I've…
