How can I listen to music while biking?
I love biking and listening to music at the same time. However, I always have to wear a jacket with pockets to hold my iPod (it's an iPod Touch 4g so it's pretty big). And none of my pants have pockets either (unless I wear jeans, which I don't particularly favor while riding). Any ideas on where I can put it without…

Big Appetite Vs. Low Calorie Intake?
Hi everyone. MFP recommended that I eat 1200 calories a day. I have a small physique so I can't eat very much anyways. However, I've got a huge appetite and even with drinking a lot of water, I still feel hungry and crave food a lot of the time. I take appetite suppressants as well but those don't seem to help that much.…

How do I keep myself motivated?
Lately I've been really slow with my weight loss progress. I have barely seen any change on the scale lately. I used to eat very healthy but now, not so much. Some days I don't even go running/working out anymore. I want to lose the weight but I always feel like giving up? How do I keep myself motivated? Thanks!

How to clear a stuffy nose?
Allergy season has hit me. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE NORMALLY AGAIN ): I've already tried holding my breath and then breathing through my nose slowly, but that only provides temporary relief. I don't have a neti pot/saline spray :(

I've been losing weight really slowly?
My recommended intake each day is 1200 cals (I'm a short person with a relatively small frame.) But usually I eat a little less than that because I'm never too hungry. With the 1200 cals a day, I'm supposed to lose 0.9 lbs a week but since I usually have 100-200 cals left it should be near 1 lb a week. However I've barely…

Sharp pain on the outside of my foot?
I randomly felt a sharp pain on the side of my left foot (the side closest to the pinky toe) while walking around my house. It hurts to walk now, and I don't really want to miss a workout because I skipped yesterday's. If this pain persists I'll probably just go biking. Anyone experience this kind of pain before?

How should I track my weight?
My weight in the mornings is about 113.6-114.2. However, during the day, I am about 115-117 due to food, water, etc. Should I just put my weight in between 115 and 117? Because that's what I am the majority of the day and when I complete my food diary entry the weight given in 5 weeks is a little bit off. I don't have a…

What really annoys me about some people on this site.
A lot of people are like, "YAY!!!! I only ate 400 calories today! Can't wait to see results" And I'm like, ugh, no stop it please. You're only doing harm to yourself and you'll gain it all back when you eat again. Anyone else feel the same way?

Hard time going to the bathroom?
This is kind of an embarrassing topic to post, but oh well. The past week it's been kind of hard going to the bathroom. I haven't gone in about 2-3 days now. I drink 8 glasses of water everyday and I don't eat a bunch of junk. (I sometimes have a bag of chips here and there though). Any help is appreciated! Feel free to…

How come I'm not losing weight anymore?
I'm 4"11 (Yes I'm short :laugh:) and my starting weight was 118.6. The first week I went down to 114.6, so 4 pounds. Now these past 2 weeks I've only lost one pound! It's kind of frustrating. I usually never go over my calorie goal, I exercise and burn 300-400 cals a day. I usually don't go past my calorie goal because I…

Do you think I actually burned these many calories?
My friends and I went biking for an hour and a half, but not like leisurely biking. It was pretty moderate-vigorous biking. But do you actually think I burned 671 calories? Seems a little bit off...

Questions about eating food for weight loss?
Even if I don't eat the healthiest but I exercise and am not going over my calorie goal, will it slow down my weight loss? I'm not saying I eat junk every day but I don't eat salads or super healthy foods. (If you need an idea of what I'm talking about feel free to look at my food diary). If I eat really healthy will I…

water weight loss and fat loss?
Is there a way to tell the difference between whether you lost water weight or lost fat/weight in general? Thank you! :)

Is my body being weird or is this normal?
Well, in 6 days, I lost about 3 pounds. I usually hear that it's very hard to lose these even 1 a week, but for me it wasn't that hard. I just ran for 25 minutes a day and either kick boxed or biked (moderate pace) for another 30, which burns around 300-400 calories in total. I'm only eat about 1200 calories a day and am…

Should you eat back the calories that you burned?
Kind of confused whether it will help you lose weight or not. Also if you don't eat them back shouldn't your body use the stored fat to keep your body going?

Why am I gaining weight after working out?
Hi everyone, I just started a new lifestyle of eating healthy and trying to lose weight about a week ago. I noticed that I have actually gained 1 or 2 pounds over the course of the week. I run for 25 minutes a day and either bike for another 30 minutes or kickbox for another 25 or 30. I never eat more than 1200 calories a…
