pain in throat/front neck when doing situps
Hey all, I have real trouble doing any kind of sit ups. I know I must be pulling up with my neck as the front of my neck/throat area really hurts and I can't go on. The thing is I don't know how to not do that. my tummy muscles are obviously so weak that they can't do the job for me. I've heard that if you stick your…

Back...again
Hey all, It's been a long time since I've used MFP. At the start of the year I decided to cut out caffeine from my diet as I suffer from migraines and don't sleep great so i thought I'd give it a shot. As I drank a lot of coca cola, I had to cut that out too. Obviously the sugar in the cola was a big factor too. I went…

Headaches from cutting out caffiene
Hey all, I am trying to cut caffeine out of my diet, mainly to help me sleep better but also I drink a lot of fizzy drinks so it's also a way for me to cut down sugar. I love a good cup of tea so i've switched to decaf teabags so that i can still have my "comfort" cuppa. I think there is nothing quite like curling up on…

Sore neck when doing sit-ups
Hey All, Pretty much every time I try to do sit ups I get a very sore neck, I mean more the front around the throat area, like I'm straining it during the sit ups. I have no idea how to stop this. I have very poor core strength so when i try to pull my abs in to lift me up it doesn't really work very well and that's when I…

How much water is too much?
Hi All, I've been making a real effort to drink more water and I'm starting to find it easier to get to my 8 glasses a day. I've seen the food diaries of other people and they seen to regularly drink up to 16 glasses a day! Is this healthy? I sometimes feel like 8 glasses is too much and I thought it might be dangerous to…

Recording weights with walking
hi all I am training for jog the women's 5k and I thought I could tackle my flabby arms at the same time by using small (0.5kg) weights in each hand if I walk or power-walk. How should I record this in my exercise. I can see the entry for walking but I'm not sure how to add the extra weights into the exercise. I guess if…

Snacking too much
Hi everyone, I need some advice. I believe my food diary is set to public. As you can see I struggle with snacking, I always have. I believe that I have done well in that I used to snack on cola, crisps (like big eat bags etc) and bars of chocolate. I have swapped these for what, I hope, are healthier snacks. The problem…

Worried about Easter
I know it's probably a bit early, but yesterday was a bit of a hard day, lots of cravings which I haven't really had since I started 3-4 weeks ago. I was watching TV and an advert about Easter came on the tv. As a frequent 4-5 Easter Egg muncher, I've started to panic about how to copy when it does come around. I am…

Diluting Juice
Hey All, I used to drink Coca Cola by the bucket load, could easily go through a 2 litres bottle in a day. 3 weeks ago I decided enough was enough when my scales hit 11 stone (I am only 5ft 2"). I have swapped the coca cola for robinsons diluting juice and the odd diet irn-bru. Should I be counting a glass of this as my…
