Powder supplements?
Hi all, I am just a mum of a 19yo boy who is into weight training. He has had protein powders and pre workout mixes before. I just want to know that they are safe. Can anyone give me some real information or where to start looking - I google search these items and get taken to sites that sell. I am just wanting…

Public MFP Apology
I offended an MFP friend and she deleted me. To her and everyone else that I may have missed replying to either privately or on the pages while I have been away on a recent holiday or at work. It is hard working full time and have a house to run with 4 other adults who still think they need everything done for them. I come…

Anyone from Australia?
Hi I am a newbie to this website. I love it and it was brought to my attention by a facebook pal who is doing a great job at losing her weight. I notice it is USA based and that is ok. I am able to change from pounds to kilos and calories to kilojoules - helps my math skills and lose weight at the same time!!! I am…

What is the best exercise for ....
I want to lose my butt, hips and mid section. Currently I work out at the gym but I only go on the treadmill (jogging and walking on an incline) as well as the elliptical trainer and the stationary bike. I mix and match, depends on how I feel, but always for about 60 minutes total. I like to go around 3x per week. I tried…

Get off that plateau!
Ok I plateued a a month or so back. Was not really happy with myself either. I tried eating my exercise calories, not eating my exercise calories, eating below my calorie count and over. I would lose weight one week only to put weight back on for the next 2 weeks. I changed only a few things and have lost every week since.…

I am all hot and sweaty ...
Hi, It doesn't matter what I do at the gym - C25K, bike riding, cross trainer, or just treadmill walking (fast pace) or a bit of all of the above, but I work up a huge sweat and am very red in the face. Ok I understand I have to sweat, but really (my t-shirt and track pants are saturated) - to the point that I get asked…

I fit into my clothes ....
YAAAAY. I recently had a big cleanout of my wardrobe. Donated a lot of clothing and kept hold of a few items which I thought one day I might fit back into them, as I had only worn them once or twice. We are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks, so I was in the mindset that I will go shopping and get a whole new wardrobe…

HRM in a spa?
Just wondering. I have a Polar FT7 and don't know where I have put the instruction booklet. Can anyone tell me if it is ok to use in a spa (hot tub). I have sore knees and now a sore shoulder/elbow and plan on going in the spa to do some exercises. Because its winter here in Aus. I have the temperature up to 38 C - nice nd…

Success at the expense of others ....
Well what a day. After working all day with only a 15 min lunch break I arrive home to my waiting family at 6 pm. No "how was your day?" or "Welcome home" . All I got was "What's for tea?" Now before I started MFP the answer would have been KFC or Hungry Jack's or similar takeaway meals (whatever one we hadn't had…

Hogs Breath Cafe
Does anyone know of a site that tells you how many calories/kilojoules are in their meals? Planning on going out for tea and don't know what to have. If all else fails will have a salt and pepper calamari salad or just steak and salad.

Measure yourself .....
The best thing I found out today was although I gained 1.2kg since last week I have lost centimetres off my boobs, waist, hips and thighs. Since starting in March 2010: Boobs down 2cm (probably more because I didn't start measuring them until May 2010) Waist down 4.5cm Hips down 8cm Thighs down 3cm If you haven't measured…

Please explain kcal ....
Just started using my new HRM (Polar FT7). Previously I have just been using the data on my treadmill and I have been thinking for a while that it is not accurate (heart rate and calories) :ohwell: . A lot of my MFP pals record such big calorie losses with exercise and I only ever burn a dingy 100 or 200 cals while busting…

Will I ever make it to the end ....
I have just started Week 3 of C25K and its a killer. That 3 min jog, my calf muscles are burning so much and I feel my knees packing up. I warm up beforehand and I push through it but I honestly can't see myself working up to that 9 week jog for 5km! Perhaps my pace is too fast. What speed does everyone usually do? I find…

Not eating enough calories
Not me.... my husband. I do his diary for him, he is so busy with his own business. He is not eating enough calories through the day, and although I tell him so, he doesn't eat more. What are some things you guys eat/do to boost your calorie intake apart from the obvious of eating more. At the end of the day he is quite…

Ab Circle Pro
Does anyone have or has used one of these? My husband and teenage kids want to get one - but I am always a bit wary about some of the claims on tv ads.

Didn't do well over Easter :-(
I feel totally upset with myself. Didn't have any chocolate, but I still over ate. Too much food, too much wine and not enough exercise. Back to it today but after a big weight loss last week I am definately not looking forward to Friday this week. I am so disappointed with myself for giving in to the pleas from family and…

Exercising in 15 minute blocks
Living in Australia the weather today is expected to be 38C and really too hot to do much exercise outside. When I am on the treadmill I have the air conditioner on and also a portable fan to keep cool. Been on the treadmill 3rd day in a row today. Its easier (and I don't pass out from heat exhaustion) to exercise in 15…
