Strength training question
I just started doing a full body workout with a combination of compound and isolation exercises twice a week. (Adding the 3rd day after I get a habit started. Don't want to scare myself off.) Should I be progressively increasing the weight like how others recommend even though my goal isn't mainly strength? And how much to…

Exercise during Ramadan
I kind of need help. Ramadan (the month of fasting) is coming up for me. Fasting pretty much consists of not eating from Sunrise to Sunset which is 16 hours. But I still want to exercise!

Is this a good idea?
I am really dedicated to losing the 70+ pounds but for the life of me I cannot seem to stick with an exercise routine. So I thought to myself what is impeding me from doing this. And the answer I came to was that I get bored extremely easily. Things like T25 and other organized program seem to bore me the minute we redo a…

Need tips on weighing for accuracy
I don't mind weighing my foods and all that but I can't seem to find a straightforward guide to weighing foods. I only know the guidelines for tricky things like condiments and what not.

Strange Craving
Has anyone ever craved water? I woke up in the middle of the night just craving water. I don't really know how to describe the feeling but I was craving water like someone would crave a sweet or their favorite food. I don't think it is dehydration because I used the bathroom shortly after and my urine was pretty clear. And…

I am going to the mall on Wednesday with friends and found out the mall I am going to have one of my favorite burger joints. I am currently 201 and since we plan the occasion have lost 3 pounds. I wanted to get to 200…

Eating 2 times a day.
I am a 20 years old female that has lost 26 of 90 pounds to lose. My main question is how many others eat twice a day? This is how I've always eaten and I have never felt deprived or too full. I'll have a brunch at 11 then dinner at 6. Times may vary but time between meals does not. I'm not doing any fad diet, it's just…

Looking for Friends
I am looking people to friend on MFP that are close to my age (20), female, and have a goal of losing 40+ pounds. I have to lose at least 50, so I want someone near my current state or with similar intense goals. But if you don't have some of these things, I am fine with friending you! :)
