Breast Weight Making me overweight?
I have been wondering this for a while, but I just recently heard that the average D cup set can weight about 20 lbs. I myself am a DD. I've been wanting to lose about 20lbs too, but if i had smaller breasts i'd be my goal weight. Should I still be worried about my weight?? Maybe i'm just making an excuse to be lazy hahaha

If you can't gain muscle on a calorie deficit then...
What happens when you get sore from strength exercises? I know you need to be on a calorie surplus to gain muscle and that you lose muscle while on a calorie deficit. Also that it is important to do strength exercise while on a deficit so you don't lose muscle mass.. But if you prevent the loss doesn't that kinda mean you…

Should I be eating more calories?

Do you follow the burnt calories on MFP
Hey guys~ Just a quick question. I read many places that MFP overshoots the amount of calories burnt for exercise, but i have no heart monitor or anything to keep track of the "real" calories i burn.

Should I be under 1200 calories?

Or am I just not understanding the math correctly? I have been on MFP for a pretty long time counting calories and all i ever lost…
