Im trying to put together where to start, I am doing this alone. Can you go to a gym and hire a personal trainer with out…

Nearly 600lbs and I don't want to die..
Hi All! My name is Marie, I'm 30, 5'3", and pretty damn close to 600lbs. I bought a 550lb capacity scale off of this website called livingxl.com and the last time I weighed myself was about 3 months ago. At the time I weighed in at 530lbs, but I KNOW I've gained weight since then. I can FEEL it. I've just been too scared…

Cannot Stop Bingeing; Need Motivation
I have several bad eating habits that I feel almost powerless to stop. For one, for most of my life, I have been a constant grazer. Absent-mindedly walking back to the fridge and pantry constantly throughout the day. I cannot simply have clearly-defined meals and snacks and then move on to activities other than eating. I…

Calorie expenditure in a hot environment

Do you feel like a huge @$$ when you treat yourself?
I'm not on a hugely strict healthy diet. I make sure to follow the guidelines I have set here on MFP and exercise when I can. Sometimes I'll treat myself with my favourite candy (sticking to the serving sizes and tracking it) but whenever I eat sweets or other treats (like pizza) I feel like a total @$$. I make sure I…

So a little about me. I am a new RN so I am pretty much constantly on my feet while at work. I have been logging how many steps a normal…

Needing Help! Can't loose even a pound!

I have not eaten over 1200 calories in the 5 weeks, and finally, the last 3 days have started tracking my food intake to…

Are Activity Trackers worth the money?
Are activity trackers worth the money or is the better question, How useful is the information? It seems that manually logging your workouts or activity coupled with the nutrition tracking provided my MFP would be enough. Am I just being a Negative Nelly? Just curious before I drop $100+
