Handstand push ups
Getting ready to go to the gym. The plan for today involves a handstand push up. I'm pretty sure I can't even do a handstand, let alone do a pushup.:noway: So how do I modify this? I want to build enough strength to be able to do this. I know a lot will say just do a handstand as the modified version. If so how long do I…

At the gym tonight.
You all have seen a girl like this. Just admit it you have. She's the one in the super short shorts doing head stands and stretches that leaves NOTHING to the imagination. This girl is as my gym. I've seen her quite a few times ALWAYS doing these stretches. NEVER have I seen her break a sweat. My husband has even said he…

Old injury
Had a hip flexor injury in March. Been fully recovered for a couple of months. Recently I've bumped up my exercise routine. Been running but have added in weight training. The last couple of days I've felt my injury. It doesn't hurt. Just feels sore. I really don't want to back off what I've been doing. But also don't want…

Men is this really true?!
Talking to my husband and his friend tonight. We got on the topic that I would like to get Breast Implants and a tummy tuck. My husbands friend says "What's the point?" Basically my husband is stuck with me. Although he would like to have a different girl every night. Preferably young with NO kids. Since he can't... He…

Targeting certain areas
I've been told you can't target a certain body part to lose weight. The problem with this is, my chest is starting to show bones and you can see my ribs (not what I'm going for). Yet, I still have a little pooch and love handles. Plus my BIGGEST problem area saddle bags. Any suggestions on how to lose these without losing…

What you doing?
I'm just sitting here shocking my @$$. Plus writing weird crazy stuff to friends on Facebook. Didn't want my MFPeeps to feel left out. My last facebook status "In a weird mood tonight. Wish someone was here to bask in my hilariousness. LOL!" So what you doing? I must be bored. Entertain me please.. :flowerforyou:

Running injury
So I need advice.. Or maybe just support. Basically, I got a running injury about 3 weeks ago. Waited a few days, thinking I was better and reinjured it. Went to the Dr. on March 22nd. The Dr. told me I injured my hip flexor. I was to take 600 mg Ibuprofen 3 times a day. Ice pack it 3 times a day for 15 minutes. The first…

30 Day Shred/Ripped in 30 or P90X
So I've been doing the 30 Day shred and Ripped in 30. Since I haven't been able to run. There is a Family Reunion coming up at the end of June. It's a Pool Party. So I have about a month to look good. I was talking to my husband about it today. He says I should do P90. I think doing the Shred and Ripped will do just as…

Those who run after injury
Whatever kind of injury it was. Be it a IT band injury, ankle, calf, hip fexor. When you started running again did it bother you? Did you feel it? Did you just run through it or did you stop? Not sure how to ask my question. Basically, I'm thinking of starting running again after I strained my hip flexor the end of March.…

When to start running after injury
Injured my hip flexor, the end of March. Been going to a physical therapist for a few weeks. The PT said that if everything went perfect I could start running in 6-8 weeks :noway: . Seriously? After taking off 5 weeks... I can't keep paying to go 2-3 times a weeks for 6-8 weeks. Each visit is $65 after what insurance pays.…

Ladies question about bra's
Just weaned my baby a couple of weeks ago. My boobs have shrunk a TON! Not even sure what size I am now. But guessing a large A to a small B cup. I REALLY want a boob job but won't be able to afford one for a few years (hoping sooner). So, for those of you with small breasts. What bra do you LOVE? What bra's give you the…

They are losing weight, exercising. Dressing nicer, ect. Just taking better care of themselves. I brought up the point. That I wouldn't want to…

How can I "look" thinner
Just got a call from an old friend. A bunch of girls that I grew up with are getting together on the 29th. Yes, only 8 days away. I'm wanting to look as trim as I can. I've lost 20lbs since April. I still have 15 lbs or more to lose. I'm starting the 30DS again. Hoping to cut a few inches before the lunch. Any other ideas…

pushup frustrations
Did the Insanity fit test today. I was SO frustrated by the pushup jacks (not sure the exact name). I just got done doing the 30 Day Shred.Which I thought would help me with doing them. I can do girl pushups NO problem. But doing the regular pushups. I can do only a couple correctly. My upper body is really weak. How can I…

Eating the same thing
I tend to eat the same thing for breakfast. I'd even prefer to eat the same thing for lunch every day. My dinners are usually different. Question: Is it "bad" to eat close to the same thing every day? If the food is "healthy", is it still not good to eat every day? When I eat the same things it helps me to stay on track.…

Does anybody else feel like this??
Wondering if I'm alone in feeling like this. I weighed myself today. I have lost 6 lbs since starting MFP. I should be proud. Any weight loss is great. But I don't FEEL skinnier. My clothes still fit the same. :grumble: I'm getting so impatient. I want the results now!! LOL. I am kinda depressed about my body. I don't have…

Is this a workout??
I normally don't consider doing house work or yard work as part of my exercise. I figure that is part of the 1200 I get every day.It's just part of life. But today I helped a friend pull up ALL her flooring: carpet and pad, hard wood (that was glued to the floor) subfloor, base boards. I did all of this for about 5 hours.…

Should I workout or not?
Do you exercise when your sick? Trying to sweat the cold away. Or do you take it easy until the cold is over? Thinking rest will make it go away quicker. I just got a nasty head cold. I went running on Sunday but Monday after a night of little to no sleep. I was too exhausted. Today it's moved into my chest. Not sure how…

Carbs Question
Sorry if this has been asked. I'm new to this. Entered in my food for breakfast and lunch into my food diary. And I'm already WAY over on my carbs. Aren't carbs in EVERYTHING? What should I eat for dinner? Should I just skip dinner? My huband made a run to Great Harvest this morning. That's why I ate so much bread. I…

How often should I weigh myself? I usually weigh myself every day. But I'm wondering if that's wrong. How often do you all weigh yourselves?

Question about daily calorie intake
Not sure where to post this. Sorry if this is in the wrong place. My question is: How many calories should I allow for breast feeding? I've heard you can burn up to 600 calories. I'm also exercising. I'm thinking a 1200 calorie diet while BFing is not gonna work. I tried to today and ended up bingeing by late afternoon cuz…
