2kg or 5lbs by Valentine's Day Challenge?
So I'm not a big fan of V-Day but it seems like a pretty convenient day to choose and I'm sure a lot of you want to be looking super sexy for it! My goal is to lose 2kg, but I'm metric so I've set the bar a little higher for you guys - 5lbs! You have 16 days to do it, so it'll be a challenge but still safe. Who's in? I'm…

can't get my fat count lower - help?
Hi, Been trying to pay more attention to *what* I eat rather than just the calories. Obviously happy with the carbs as they usually tend to be about right and most of them are fruit or fibre-related (except the odd chocolate treat). What I can't get is the protein and the fat right. My g of fat is usually 10-20g over what…

I need more friends!
Hi, I've noticed that a lot of MFP are quite inactive and have either given up on using it or are taking a break. NGL, I have done this myself and I don't blame them, but for now I need some new ones that can keep me accountable and to like my weight loss. I'll do the same for you! I would prefer someone with similar goals…

Starting "lifting" and weights on the road
Hi, I'm currently travelling (yay) and not really exercising much. I am, however, interested in weight-lifting for fat burn and strengthening. I don't know what to do because I'm travelling and really can't bring "weights" with me. I will be near a gym for a few months next year but I won't speak the language so I'm a bit…

Will body weight exercise and running make my butt bigger?
Hi, I'm about to go travelling and I will not be taking any equipment with me except resistance bands. This will be for about a year, so don't tell me to wait 'til I get back! I will be jogging, maybe a bit of cycling, and doing body weight exercises. I've been unhappy with my bum lately and I want it to be bigger and…

Keeping fit when going TRAVELLING (long-term)
Hi, I'm about to go travel through Europe kinda indefinitely (I work from home!) My accommodation will be a mixture of the caravan I've got (veeeeeery small), other people's houses, shared hostel rooms, individual hostel/hotel rooms (rarely) and workaway houses. I like going jogging which will obviously be fine when I am…

can you build muscle using only bodyweight alone (females)
Hi, I have really gotten into pilates (including squats and other things too). I really like it and I would like to be able to see some muscle definition (biceps firm bum, and toned stomach) but I don't know if this is possible with bodyweight alone. I did have a gym membership to a place with weight machines/free weights…

How do you make yourself get up early?
I have always wanted to be able to get up early, to get my exercise out of the way for the day and other such things. However, every time I set my alarm for early, I end up snoozing it until the last minute and rushing to work. What can I do? Going to bed early doesn't help, I still end up doing the same thing. Help!

Trying to eat MORE and HEALTHIER - help?
Hi, Since Monday I've been making a really conscious effort to eat more (I have been eating very little aka 6-900 calories and then binging at the weekends) and to eat HEALTHIER. My rule this month is to avoid anything I haven't cooked myself - especially for main meals :) Can you take a look at my diary (since Monday) and…

"COULD" care less? What does this mean?
I've noticed that this is (more of) an American saying...but what does it mean? It doesn't make sense to me because here in the UK we say "I couldn't care less" meaning that we already care so little that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to care less (meaning that we don't give a s**t). What does "I could care less" mean? It sounds…

Sore after exercise?
Hello, Just wondering...I've been doing more strength recently and I've got sore muscles! I did a class on Monday which was an hour, still sore today (Wednesday) which was due to be my next gym day (cardio). Should I be working through the pain or leave it until I feel a bit recovered? I mean, technically that means only…

Why aren't I getting fitter? Why isn't it getting easier?
Heya, I've been cycling every day now for about 3 months - I do 25+ minutes a day on fairly flat ground. I also go to the gym maybe once a fortnight. I know this isn't a lot and I don't change my routine much (except to add walking or cycling time) so I'm not expecting to get EXTREMELY FIT, but it's not getting any easier.…

I need help finding a diet plan...
Hi! I need help finding a diet plan to follow. I've tried just calorie restriction but I'd like something that actually tells me what I should be eating, or else I just end up eating something rubbish. I would like something with a meal plan (or a meal/exercise plan) that tells me what I should eat for breakfast lunch and…

phentramine RX diet pill help
Hello, I know diet pills are generally frowned on in the community so I'm not looking for advice. What I *would* like is for everyone that's tried phentramine RX (that's the over the counter "herbal" diet pill, not the prescription phentermine) to please find time to take a picture of the pill and post it here for me. This…

Endomondo?
Does anyone use Endomondo? If anyone does and wants to be friends on there, let me know. Also, do you think MFP or Endomondo is more accurate on calories burnt?

Alcohol?
Does anyone have any suggestions for me concerning alcohol? I drink with my friends 1-3 times a week. Every time I search for 'suggested drinks' it always just tells me vodka and diet coke, but I don't like that and I refuse to drink alcohol I don't like the taste of, because I think that's where it starts getting silly.…
