Scales gone up but inches gone down?
Does this mean I've put on muscle? I thought it was near impossible to put on muscle in a caloric deficit but I don't know what other explanation there is?

How do you get your daily fibre?
At risk of giving TMI, I've been "blocked up" for a few weeks and my doctor has suggested I need more fibre in my diet. I don't usually log fibre on MFP and was shocked to see how low mine has been, so this probably is the culprit. I went to the supermarket on the look out for some fibre bars but the ones I used to get…

Too fat? Bloating? Something else?
I posted a topic about a week ago about how much my belly swells after I eat or drink ANYTHING and the general response was that without pics you can't really offer much assistance. Well, I finally did the deed. I know I have more fat to lose but I think you'll get the general idea of my problem. I can "hold myself in"…

Ephedrine?
Ok I already know this isn't going to make me popular, but has anyone had any experience of taking ephedrine or an EC stack? I'm hoping to start tomorrow and am wondering what I should expect? I've read a lot on the web but would be great if I could get some "real" accounts. :smile:

Myth or fact?
I heard something a while back along the lines of "every pound of muscle burns X amount of extra calories a day" Is this true or am I getting my hopes up? If it is true how many calories is it?

Apologies for the same annoying question but...
when people say you need to eat MORE calories to lose weight, are they just checking you're eating over your bmr? My stats: Age: 20 Height: 5"4' (64 inches) Weight: 113 pounds BF%: 19.6% BMR: 1263 Target cals per day: 1560 (not including exercise cals... I never log them as I don't trust my HRM) Lifestyle: Usually…

Broken HRM?
I have a Beurer PM25 heart rate monitor - never had any problems with it apart from it take a little while to warm up enough to pick up my heart rate...but when it gets going it's fine. Today I started training - HIIT interval training, 20sec running on 10 incline at 12km 10 secs off, and repeat. Usually do that for about…

Eating out of boredom? How do you control this?
I have a SERIOUS problem controlling nibbling on stuff just because i'm bored. It used to be sweets and chocolate but I got rid of the lot, so now its whatever I can lay my hands on, usually gum. My mouth just has to be permanently occupied or I get all antsy and feel like I'm really hungry (when I know I'm not) How do you…

Bloating/too much fat/too little muscle?
Hi guys, hoping you can give me some advice here. I'm 112 pounds and 5 foot 4, exercise 5 days a week both weights and cardio. My problem is that the belly I have (or lack of it!) when I wake up in the morning doesn't last! I'm really happy with how I look first thing in the morning, but about 5 mins after eating or…

Hi MFP!

Currently a university student (not your typical one might I add! Hate getting drunk and sleeping in late and actually want to get a first!) hoping to become a primary school teacher…
