Flaxseed Oil and Breast Growth?
I've read in a few places online about women who took flaxseed oil for an extended period of time and experienced entire cup size increases in their breasts. Anyone else know anything about this? I'm curious to see if it actually worked!

Calories burned at work???
I am a store clerk and stand for around 3.5-4 hours on a normal day and 7 hours on a Saturday. Can I count the calories burned while working? According to WebMD I should burn roughly 400ish for 3 hours.

VERY pear-shaped! Anyway to balance it out?
Hi everyone! I'm an incredibly pear shaped girl...34-26-39. I've got the hips of a 4-6 and a 32B cup...it gets really annoying when I'm shopping. I'm doing the 30DS, walking/jogging, and doing Jillian's Killer Buns and Thighs, but I only seem to really be losing in my upper body (where I really don't want lose anymore!)…

I'M FREAKING OUT! Sodium????
Okay, so on the 30th I was 132lbs. My scale died that day and I didn't get a battery to replace it until tonight. I know you shouldn't weigh yourself at the end of the day, but I was just curious (you know, if it said, say 135, that was a normal days water and food retention). I almost started…

5 lbs from goal with pics!
This time last year I was a 150 lbs, the heaviest I'd ever been. I finally broke 130 before Christmas (now thanks to holiday bloat 132 keeps popping up on the scale... :-( ) Now I'm five pounds from my goal weight and I'm so excited! I feel like me again. I was so unhappy and had no confidence anymore. My BEFORE pic is…

I need motivation, help please!
So, the past two weeks I've had midterms for my last semester of college and I've not worked out AT ALL. I've gone to class, gone to work, come home and studied until I go to sleep. Now, I can't get the motivation to go. I was already frustrated because I've been stuck at a plateau for so long, but now I just can't seem to…

Plateau: Advice needed!
I've been stuck hovering around the same 2 lb margin (132-133.6) for over a month now. Help! Why can't I break this? I'm eating 1200 cal, a day (sometimes, but rarely, it's over), and walking/running at least 30 minutes a day as well as free weights. Some days I walk for over an hour. I have an important event Oct. 15 and…

Opinion on diet aids?
First, let me say that for 7 months I've been doing this the right way...eating right, lots of water, exercising, etc. So, it's not like I'm trying to find help outside the normal path from the start. I'm just having the worst time trying to get off these last ten lbs. Additionally, I'm retaining water weight like crazy…

NSV with Pics!
NSV! I got these shorts about 3 summers ago, and the past two summers they've been tight...pulling at the pockets, across the hips, etc. BUT not only do they fit now, they're too big! SOOOO excited!!!!

How could I calculate this?
If the databases says I burn 120ish calories walking the dog for 30 minutes, and I know that if I walk at a 4.0 mph speed uphill for an hour I burn about 650 calories, then how would I calculate walking uphill for 30 minutes with the dog?

Treadmill Calorie Counts?
I walked at a 4.5 mile an hour pace on a 10 incline (it seems very steep in comparison to the others around me), and ran a 10 minute mile speed for short bursts in that time, with my heart rate staying between 150 and 170. At the end of the hour the treadmill said I had burned 635 calories. Does this seem accurate? I would…

How many calories should I eat back?
Just a little advice needed. I burned a little over 650 calories today...do I have to eat back all of them? I sure hope not because, that leaves me with almost 1000 left to eat today.

Losing all motivation...
I've now been on MFP a little over 3 weeks. In that time period I've lost almost 3 lbs, and then proceeded to gain it all back. Because of that I'm so unmotivated now. It's just taken me so long to lose weight that when I dropped 3 lbs in the first week and a half I was ecstatic! And now I'm just bummed. I don't know what…

New and looking for support!
Hello all MFP users! I'm new...well, 2 weeks in...to MFP and am searching for support! I've got 11 pounds to go to reach my goal weight (already, and only, 10 lbs down since I started in February). I'm hoping MFP gives me the tools and support I need to make it happen! I'll also be an avid, and occasionally comical,…

Used to Undereat...now worried about gaining!
I joined MFP when I found out that the reason I wasn't losing any more weight than I was is due to the fact that I'd been only consuming about 1000 calories a day for about two months. (5'5, 139). Now I'm eating the 1200 calories a day, and on days when I exercise I make sure that I'm still keeping most of that 1200. But,…
