just one thing
Ok so I've been thinking alot about "extreme" measures ever since I read the post last week by I think by "Icandoit" . There was a survey recently about what some women would do to be at their ideal weight. Some answers, cut off an arm, lose a toe....blah blah blah. Why is it we would go to such extremes and even consider…

Back in the saddle!
I've been neglecting MFP lately. I've been busy with school (finals) and a couple unscheduled trips. I haven't been eating right or exercising as much as I should because of my "I'll start tomorrow" attitude. Well, it's tomorrow!! I really have no more excuses!

modivation
Hi All! Im trying to lose 15 pounds, but gain muscle mass... (so lose about 5 points but be more fit) but This site tells me a 1200 calorie a day diet. How does one do it? I have a desk job so I find it difficult to eat 1200 calories a day, work out, and lose weight. I find I snack to much at night because I'm starving…

What's the NICEST thing anyone has ever said about your weig
Okay, so GTO's post made me really sad and angry at the mean people in the world, so let's celebrate the nice people in the world too that make all the hard work worth it.

overeaters vs undereaters ...
Am i right in saying there seems to be a big trend here that people are finding it hard to eat all their calories and coming in under their recommended numbers ? I've never been small but after having my daughter 17 months ago the weight just kept coming - despite cutting back my food (and breastfeeding till 15 months) and…

HRM...
I was just wondering if you had to use the chest strap with the Polar HRM? I would love one where I could just wear the watch. Does that exist? If so, is the monitor more accurate when you wear the chest strap or does the watch do just as good a job. I am really ready to buy one, I don't need a fancy one, but I would like…

"Destined" to be overweight?
All of the women in my family are overweight. My grandmother died of a heart attack at age 49 and her weight was a big factor. My aunt has Type 2 diabetes, and is also obese. She tried to tell me that I was going to be overweight no matter how hard I try not to be..that I am genetically predisposed to be fat. Hogwash...I'm…

What Do You Do?
This is out of curiosity but I'm really curious! MFP members represent a spectrum of interesting careers and education paths. Some are full time mothers whereas others are computer engineers.

Welp, it's done.
I just returned from the closing. I am no longer a home owner, and I am a pittance richer (it really is a pittance also, but every bit helps). It's one of the last vestiges of a horrible year and a devestating divorce, and now it's gone. So why am I about to cry? I should be doing my happy dance, but instead I am just…

Things are not always what they seem
Another shocker from Hungry Girl Tsk, tsk, Ruby Tuesday. A turkey burger is supposed to be a GOOD choice when eating out. But that freakish fowl offering of yours is one of the worst items on your menu, nutritionally speaking! Over a thousand calories and more than SIXTY grams of fat?!? Ludicrous! Even scarier? Those stats…
