All you Brits out there
I may be heading across the pond for a couple of days this summer for work and they usually book me to fly home on sunday because it's cheaper, so I'll have a friday and saturday night to play with.

Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat....
5 lbs. of fat is much bulkier than 5 lbs. of muscle, but five pounds is still five pounds. Muscle does not weigh more than fat. Fat is bulky and lumpy so if you carry an extra five pounds of fat, you'll be lumpier than with five pounds more muscle. A five pound pile of fat will take up more space (volume) than a five pound…

Portion Sizes
Hey ya'll, So a little tip I learned from my young adults with eating disorders support group the other day.... Because I've been restricting myself for so long and the disease has taken away my ability to know when I'm hungry and when I'm full, I never know how much food is the right amount of food. One of the girls…

It's such a sad day!

Again with the water
I have to tell you... I was drinking 9 glasses of water a day for about 3 weeks(that's hard to do) to get rid of acne. I was on my usual calorie counting diet. I didn't drop a single pound. Once my acne was fully clear I went back to drinking 7 glasses of water a day. Two days after i went back to normal, I dropped 4…

Already discouraged...
Would you believe after only a week (and two days, here, on MFP!), I already feel "defeated"!? Well... I do. I would have thought I'd see SOME loss, by now. Instead, I'm no different.
