Weird flabby bit on armpit
I know everyone us this weird flabby bit on their armpit (and I think it's worse in wormen, right?)- but what can I do to get rid of it? Since I've started training my biceps and triceps, I think it's gotten worse. Is it just a case of incorporating some chest and shoulder training in too? Has anyone got any good chest and…

Body fat % loss v weight loss
So over the past 3 weeks my body fat % has gone from 28% to 24% and yet I've only lost 2lbs. How does that work? Have been gaining muscle instead of losing or something (I know a lot of you say gaining muscle whilst losing is impossible)? I can only think I've been eating too much so maintaining and instead gaining muscle…

Just to clarify
MFP no longer tells you you've eaten too little when you eat over 1000 no matter how low your net weight is. So as long as I'm consuming around 1200, I shouldn't need to eat back any exercise calories right? Or is this entire 'plateau if you don't eat enough' a myth anyway?

Best exercise for weight loss & toning
Hi guys, I know that obviously I want to be doing cardio in the form of running/bike/rowing in order to burn calories, but what type of workout plan do I want to be following exercise wise? I mostly want to target my bum, thighs and belly - but I also want exercise which speeds up weightloss. If anyone has any programs…

A question about exercise
I'm currently 148lbs and my goal is 133lbs, so I'm not massively off. I also want to tone my body as well as lose. However when it comes to exercise do I want to focus on cardio to burn calories for now or is it best to do other exercises/weights at the same time or leave it until I'm at or closer to the goal? I have no…

Not losing!
MFP suggests to lose 1lb a week I eat 1270cals a day. My activity level is set to sedentary and I add in any exercise I do since it varies day to day rather than saying I'm lightly active or whatever. I eat around 1300 and I'm not loosing! I normally have a cheat day a week where I eat around 2000 so obviously I'm going to…

What's my activity level?
So I walk to uni 4 days a week (30mins there, 30mins back). I walk a 20 minute walk to work 3 days a week too (although I don't walk home due to the extremely late finishes) and I work in fast food place so I'm constantly on my feet and walking about for the 20 hours a week I work. However, I don't do any exercise besides…

Low calorie, high fat.
Is a high fat diet bad, even if you stay within calorie limits? By bad I don't mean particularly healthy as I know it's not. I mean would I not loose weight if my diet is high in fat?

I've stopped loosing!
So I've been dieting using a calorie controlled diet for about 5 and a half weeks now. In the first 3 weeks I lost around 7lbs all together. But since then I've lost nothing. Nothing at all, and I even keep fluctuating back up a couple of pounds and loosing it again. I'm eating the same amount of calories I was in the…
