Planking
Okay, so my coworkers invited me to come plank with them in the conference room at noon every day, and they go for about 1:30 to 2 minutes at a time. I've never done this before; I broke the trunk lift record in high school gym, I can go at 6mph on an elliptical for 30 minutes at a time (a big accomplishment for me because…

What am I doing wrong?
Okay, so I've always had weight problems since I was a kid; I could never burn it off no matter what diet/exercise combo I did. Recently I found out that there was a sharp uptake in my cholesterol and hormones, so my doctor put me on Metformin to try to bring down both. My hormones have gone down, sure, but my cholesterol…

Morning or Night?
It's been a week since I weighed myself. I got one weight last night and another weight this morning. Trust me when I say these weights were very different. Like, 3lbs different. Which weigh-in do I trust?

My skin is cracked and bleeding!
It's really freaking me out, this has never happened before I started dieting. During the first two weeks, it was just really red and sore on my right fingertips, mainly my thumb. On the third week, the skin started to peel off the tip of the thumb, then the index finger, (it skipped the middle finger) but after another…

Am I doing this wrong?
Lately I've been trying to do crunches and reverse crunches, things I've never done before. In P.E. we did jumping jacks, which just hurts my boobs and toe touches. I can do 3 sets of 20 crunches and 2 sets of 20 reverse crunches.... In five minutes. Am I doing this wrong?

I'm back at my starting point!!
Okay, there's gotta be an explanation for this. I don't work out for a few days because I'm in college and I've been doing outlines, I stay under my calorie limit, yet my weight bounces right back up to my starting point, which took me a whole month to get down to where I was. How did it go up three pounds in two days if…

What to list Just Dance as?
I use the video game Just Dance to work out. I've been listing it as "modern dance" but it seems to burn almost no calories, even though I start sweating after the first song. Am I listing it right?

How to track this?
I just had four pieces of breaded eggplant cutlets for dinner, which was really good, but when I go to track it, there's no definite way to track it. I don't know how to know how many ounces I ate just by looking? I ate two bigger cutlets, a large coin sized cutlet, and half of a third big cutlet because it tasted really…

Donating Blood
I donated blood for the third or fourth time today. I know when you do that, you're not supposed to exercise, but what about food? Do you eat extra food to make up for everything you've lost?

double my calories yesterday, fasting today
Okay so last night, my mom and stepdad decided to have a mini hurricane party since we're in the Keys. My dad decided to Panko-fry fish and hush puppies. I ended up eating double my limit by 2AM I felt so disgusted with myself when I logged it all in that I decided that if I just didn't eat today, it would balance out. Was…

Is this okay?
You must live under a rock if you don't know about the hurricane coming this way yet. Guess who lives smack in the middle of it's trajectory? Since all my exercise equipment is stranded in the garage, and I can't go outside, I'm stuck with no way to workout. (I'm not doing pushups, that's just a thing I've never been able…

Any college kids here?
I noticed that a lot of people on this site are usually a lot older than me. Where are all the college kids at? You just got your Freshman 15, you'd want to lose it, right? (freshman 15 more like freshman 100) C'mon, where are you at and what's your major so far?

How fast am I walking?
Walking pace is pretty easy to measure when you're on a treadmill, but not when you're walking around your complex in flats. How do I know how fast I was going so I can log it?

Silly question about water
I know breakfast literally means to break the fast your body starts when you sleep, but it's only done when you eat or drink something of nutritional value. What about water? Would that break the fast and make me hungry again later?

Good Morning!
It's Wednesday, and school is starting for a lot of people. Not me though! I start in five days. How is everyone? :)

Darn coffee creamer!
Hey guys, I live in the city, and I, like 95% of adults, am on a coffee regimen. The problem is, my dad is CONSTANTLY making the coffee super strong. Today I tried to count how much creamer I put into my coffee. I buy the regular, generic brand, (no real cream in it even though the label claims it does) creamer from…

How to Keep Measuring
I'm still new at this, but I'm a little bad at this. I just ate a big plate of homemade chicken and pasta and forgot to measure it out for MFP. How do you guys measure things like this? Especially when you mix in sauce or have to make big quantities for your whole family.
