Injury advice please?
Hi, About 3 weeks ago, I caused myself an injury in the chest area, (about half way up my ribs). It hurts to press near my sternum and is sore if I press on a couple of ribs. I did it while doing pole fitness (a particularly core intensive move), at first it felt like I needed to 'pop' something back in place (like you get…

Confused about weight lifting!
I have seen some great result on MFP of some women lifting (the recent "Women lifting heavy - with pics" thread) and I want in! I have 2x 2.2lbs dumbbells and 2x 13lbs dumbbells at home. I use the 2.2lb ones for the 30DS (and it's hard work!) and the 13lbs ones for bicep curls and triceps extensions. I don't have space at…

How does Race for Life work with both 5k and 10k?
Hi! The title pretty much says it. I'm doing the Race for Life 10k tomorrow. There is a 5k with the same start time. Is there 2 courses or just one? How does it work? I get very anxious about these sorts of things and am worried I'll accidentally only do 5k!

What to snack on when stressed?
I've been really struggling to keep my snacking under control at work. My colleagues have commented on it and I've just said: I track all my calories so its fine. But truth is, I haven't tracked for a couple of weeks and I know i've eaten loads. The trigger to my snacking has been stress, and it's not going to ease up any…

Hi All, I'm off on holiday to New York on Saturday (I'm in the UK). I wondered if anyone knew any good places to eat? Anything particularly American we should try?

I don't know if I'm doing too much or not enough
I don't know if this is just me having a 'down' day, but I could really use some advice. I don't feel like I'm on the right track somehow. I have been keeping track of my measurements and weight. My PT, who I see monthly, is tracking my BF %. Since February 4th, my BF% is down 5.2% and I've lost 1 inch from each leg and 1…

Well I failed today
I got stressed with work and comfort ate. I under ate by 800 calories yesterday. Today I ate all that back plus more :-( When I went to the gym, I was too full for a proper workout. Very disappointed in myself.

Body fat down to normal range!

Running in wings?
Hi There! I'm thinking of doing a 10k for the race for life this year (I've been doing the 5k for about 6 years now) and I've always wanted to dress up as a bumble bee for it (not quite sure why just think it'll be fun!). I think this is bumble bee year! But my question is; should I go with wings or will they slow me down…

Exercising with a cold
Hey, I have had a cold for 8 days. I feel fairly rotten but it hasn't kept me away from work (I'm working from home today). What level of exercise should I be doing? I went to my BoxFit class on Monday and found it really hard work. I went to Pilates on Wednesday and found that to be OK. My cold seems to have gotten worse…

I don't think I can actually do this
I'm having quite a low day today and I just need some motivation and guidance. I know I'm not overweight and don't 'need' to loose weight. I'm 5'6" and currently weigh 140 lbs. My body fat % is 34.2, which I know is high. But I've always wanted to be thinner and better looking. I've recently joined a gym. And I go whenever…

How can sensibly up my protein and fat?
After looking on a few posts about eating your daily calorie limit and still feeling hungry, it seems upping proteins and fats helps keep you fuller. Looking at my diary today, that could explain why I'm so hungry still! So How can I up my protein and fats sensibly? I'm especially thinking of work, when I usually have to…

When do you fill in your food diary?
I used to fill in my food diary at lunch time and in the evening, but if I went over, it was too late. Now I'm starting to fill in my food diary in the morning for the whole day so I can be more strict with myself and hopefully won't stray from it and snack. I can't keep filling it in at work every time I eat something!…

How can I stop comfort eating?
Hi There! I've been doing really well on my diet. Really noticing a change in my eating habits. But there's one thing I am still to master and I just not sure how. And that's my emotional eating. I find it far too easy, after a long hard day to allow myself a bag of sweets or some other unnecessary, unhealthy snack, and…

Hi Everyone!
Hi! So... First off my name is Sarah I am 25. I have tried to loose weight before, with limited success. I did manage to loose 10kg through illness, not the way to get thin!. But I did love the complements I got, especially from people who hasn't seen me in a while. Since I recovered, I have steadily been putting weight…
