Girls: breast/pecs soreness in/behind one boob?
Hi ladies, I've had soreness in one boob for about a month now. First I put it down to hormones as it did start at TOM. And now I'm thinking its because of doing a lot more chest resistance exercises with P90X which I started 6 weeks ago. There's no lump or indentation or anything. It's kind of at the top of breast, where…

Caffeine in Green tea v Black Tea
Hi everyone, Does anyone know if green tea has more caffeine than normal black tea? (PGTips) I figured a few years back that caffeine interfered with my sleep so I dont usually drink it after 6pm. But for the last few days I've upped my green tea and am drinking the last one around 6pm rather than normal tea. And I just…

To P90Xers!
Dear P90X ers This is my second week doing the lean P90X. After doing step aerobics for about 1 year, the new regime is kickin my butt! I am totally spent after each routine, using muscles I never thought existed and sweating like I just had a sauna! Obviously I can't keep up with the whole class yet, but I passed the fit…

Pull ups - advice please :)
Hiya! I've been struggling to do pull ups for a year now. But I am seeing some progress. Whereas I used to struggle to get half way up, I am now over half way x 5. However, I am thinking I dont have the muscle power to pull up any further as perhaps my biceps aren't strong enough?? I do (full) push ups, so I think most of…

Does green tea/caffeine boost your exercise efficiency?
I'm sure I've read this before?? But perhaps I'm dreaming...........cant really remember. However, unintentionally, before my workout this morning I drank a cup of green tea. I usually drink my normal black tea with milk and xylitol sugar. But today I drank green tea, no additions. I dont want to get too excited, but I…

HRM v MFP calorie burn!
Hi everyone I bought a HRM - Polar F7 - and I used it for the first time today. I used it for the exact same step aerobics dvd that I've been doing for the last 2 months. MFP estimated my burn at 522 cals My HRM says I burn 332 cals! I was just wondering if anyone else who has an HRM has compared their stats and if they…

HRM-anyone know the difference between Male & female HRM's?
Hi all I'm just about to purchase a Polar F7 on ebay. But it states 'men's'. I'm just wondering if the male and female versions are simply to do with watch dial size or if it might be something else like chest strap size, calorie calculations etc. Anyone know the difference?? I LIKE male watches - so prefer the big dial,…

Fish - how do you count the calories?
Hi all, I seem to be having a bit of a problem establishing if the calories for fish per weight includes the skin, or not? I've looked outside MFP database and still can't figure if the weights they give you are with or without skin! So, I had a 280g of trout fillet, WITH skin. I dont eat the skin, so the weight of what…

Anyone zig-zaggin calories?
Hi there Just wondered if anyone out there could tell me how to zig zag calories. I mean, is there a daily method? over a week? or is it just random? Do you stick within your daily allowance? IE if your lowest is 1200 and then you burn 400 exercising, do you stick within 1200 and 1600?? Or do you go lower than 1200 and/or…

10 things I've learned in 10 days at MFP
ok, have logged on for 10 full days now so thought I'd share some things I've learnt from being here: 1. The more you exercise, the more you can eat! :love: 2. When you are restricted to 1200 calories, an extra 300 - 500 calorie burn makes a BIG difference! That's like an extra 40% differnce!! So basically, whereas I used…

Is it true that MFP doesnt adjust your calories down with yo
Hi all I've only been here a week so just checking, but have just come across a comment that says that your calorie allowance is NOT adjusted down when you lose pounds?? I know that as you lose weight, you require less calories per day. So do we have to manually adjust this then? Thanks Anna :huh:

How much water when exercising?
I know this may seem like a silly question, but I've never thought about it before. The 8 glasses of water recommended per day, is that with exercise, without exercise, or doesnt it matter?? And by exercise, that could mean walking or running a marathon, swimming or step. I automatically drink more when I'm exercising to a…

I've set a goal weight of 27lbs to lose (have lost 5lbs already) but my ideal weight is about 14lbs more! I don't usually…
