Failing to exercise
I had a 6 week gym membership over the summer and love love loved it. When that ran out I continued to exercise at home with DVDs.

Your favourite veggie dinner recipes
I have recently become vegetarian. I love meat, but I am doing this for my peace of mind, my morals, and for the protection of animals. Nothing to do with my diet. It is totally by choice.

Body Fat % issues
Apparently I am 25.4% body fat..... That's a 1/4 of my entire body is fat. Really?? Apparently it's because I have scales that measure body fat through your feet and most women carry the majority of their fat on their bums and thighs. Anyone know where can I get my body fat measured accurately?

What do you do to WARM UP?
I always end up getting a stitch in my left side after about 20 mins on the elliptical. I figure its because I don't warm up properly beforehand. I just wondered what you do to warm up, and how long for, before you exercise?

Help...
When I started using MFP it told me to eat 1200 calories... So I did. At first it was difficult, then it got easier. Now, 27lbs down, I've hit a plateau, and people have been telling me it's because I need to eat more. So, I changed my weight loss goals to losing 1 pound a week instead of 2 pounds. In turn this has upped…
