I will be the first to tell you this
As you know, weight loss is not an easy task. Any type of support, motivation or encouragement will keep you going to succeed. I have one simple encouragement phrase that I feel is not said enough to anyone and it's a very powerful phrase. It was said to me a very long time ago and it still holds within in me. That phrase…

I feel your frustration
I feel your frustration about why your not losing weight. Weight loss takes time, A LOT of time. It's not something that happens overnight, that is wishful thinking. If this was true, then nobody would be overweight. I wish I could tell you that it's easy but the reality is, it's not. For females, it's much harder to lose…

fresh start -- a few friends would be nice
At first, when I re-joined, I didn't want friends. I told myself that keeping track of my own business is what I need to do. I didn't need to hear about anyone else, or be told to keep my chin up when things go poorly, or be told what a great job I'm doing when things go well. But I think I may have been wrong. I rarely…

It was originally written in May 2005 by David Greenwalt and posted at Bodybuilding.com and the information is still as relevant today as it was then. I hope by posting this information there will be at least 1 or 2 new…

Getting healthy / toning up with a very sedentary lifestyle?
Hello everyone, (this is my first ever post, so bear with me!) I'm 5 foot 4 inches, and about 110lb - so not overweight, but I have excess fat on my stomach and legs that I want to get rid of. My aim isn't to lose a certain amount of pounds - if I add muscle, the number on the scale won't represent fat I've lost. Instead,…

Growing up i was always fairly skinny. 160 in high school and i was very active....which led to bad eating habits being developed because i always burned it off.

Is there a way to vary daily calorie goals with MFP?
Hello, I'm newer to MFP tools and I'm trying to figure out how to best set this up to allow for daily variations in calories (high/low days). I've had success with programs like WW where you always had "flex points" and could have a higher calorie day regardless of it was a rest day or a long workout day. For some training…

The importance of having friends here.
The first few days that I started here it was pretty lonely. I didn't have any friends on here. And I didn't want to add any of my real life friends either. I didn't want them to know what I was up to. I was afraid they would put too much pressure on me and monitor every little thing I was doing. But I also didn't want to…
