I deal with very severe hip and knee arthritis. I used to run about 3 miles a day and the cartilage damage became so bad that my doctor told me I couldn't, or rather shouldn't, run anymore. I was heart broken because I was told that when I was in my early 20's! I had to switch from running to the elliptical and now I'm…

I use them to replace my dinner for the most part. I have to go to bed so early that I don't want to have a full meal before I go to sleep. I do make sure to eat breakfast, lunch and some snacks as well to get all my calories in for the day. It thankfully fills me up after my workout and keeps me full for the couple of…

Wow! Just wwooww! At first I was like, Oh snap he is sooo gonna ask her out. And then when I read how he actually did ask you out, I was like "WTF?!" Your feelings are completely in the right!

I was a band kid back in High School. Marching Band was what actually helped my lose about 20 pounds when I was a Sophomore.

My goal is to lose 40 pounds and I've lost a little over 16 pounds in a month and a half. I do cardio 4-5 times a week as well as lifting heavy right after cardio. I'm hoping to avoid the dreaded plateau by changing up my cardio routine and switching up my muscle groupings.

I don't have a child to take care of but I am on a journey to lose 40 pounds.

I usually love going in the mornings but with my work schedule, it doesn't allow for that. I fight for treadmills and dumbells with the rest of the 6pm crowd on the weekdays. But on the weekends I try to hit up the gym around 8am.

Hey Tanner! Congrats on all the hard work you've been putting into your studies! Igained a lot of weight while in collage and a lot had to do with my insomnia and severe anxiety. Plus the fact I love to eat food late at night. Oops! I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey!

Hi and welcome to MFP! I'm right there will you wanting to lose 40 pounds. I haven't put a time limit on it myself because whenever I do that I get discouraged but hopefully that gives you that extra determination! Good luck to you on your weight loss goals!

I feel you on the medication issue. My health problems aren't that serious with just Insomnia and Anxiety but while on my medication I've put on a lot of weight.

Best of luck to you and the rest of us!

My goal is to lose somewhere between 35-45 pounds. The medication I'm on for my Insomnia and Anxiety has helped me pack on the pounds but I've lost a chunk of weight before and I will do it again. Good luck to us all!

I'm hoping to lose 35-45 pounds but I get scared thinking about it like that so i'm taking it one pound at a time. Best of luck to the both of us!

Welcome back to the both of you and congrats on losing the weight once before! A few years back I lost about 20 pounds and put on tons of muscle and loved the way I looked. I definitely gained it all back and about 15 pounds in addition. I was hoping this account would help me stay on track and so far so good. I'm trying…
