Push-ups incorrectly?
A few nights ago at taekwondo training, my instructor told me I was doing my push-ups wrong. I did a quick search of youtube and found the first woman who fit the example of how I do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ji-Liftbfo My instructor says that my elbows need to be in by my rib cage. I used to only be able to do…

Almost at goal weight but have to reconsider :(
I am so frustrated... I have lost so much weight (and yes, I'm very proud of myself), but just saw a bunch of pictures of myself from last weekend and realized that I have a long ways to go yet. We don't have any full length mirrors in the house, and I guess since I was losing pounds and inches, I thought I was almost…

How much is too much?
I am a mother of three children, 10, 7, and 5 months. I recently upped my tak-kwon-do classes from 2x a week to 3. My two oldest also take class, so they come with, and we're together for the evening. I am also considering adding crossfit to my regimen. Here is my problem: the closest gym that does Crossfit is 40 minutes…

Newbie to weights
I'm entering in the repetitions and weights that I'm doing, but it doesn't look like MFP is figuring in calories like it does cardio (example: if I enter in that I did 50 minutes of tae-kwon-do, it instantly figures that I've burned 700+ calories). Is there a reason for this? I would assume that strength training burns…

Breastfeeding and calories
Can anyone tell me what the right amount of caloric intake would be while breastfeeding? I've seen a lot of different numbers on the internet. I don't think any of them are aimed at the mother who is trying to lose weight while breastfeeding. I know that I can't be too low on calories or my milk supply will suffer, but I…

New girl
Hey all! I just started on here about a week ago, and I have no idea if I'm doing this message board thing right! :) I love instant messaging and email, etc., but I just realized I've never done this sort of thing before. My goal is to lose about 50 pounds. That's roughly my pre-pregnancy weight, and I was really healthy…
