Wow, sorry to hear that. It's awesome that you are okay though.

You were my very first friend on myfitnesspal. You have always been a big inspiration to me and not just for workouts and staying healthy, including now - you are volunteering your time to mediate this group. I see how you read everyone's posts and tailor your responses to very different people while trying to stay on top…

I weighed myself on Tuesday again and was 2 pound lighter than on Monday. Which means I still gained 4 ounces compared to last week but that's nothing. Go figure.

@wellnesschaser I haven't always been disciplined and I am an emotional eater, so I have to keep on top of it. Two thing have helped. One is logging everything I eat into myfitnesspal as soon as I can, including my eating binges. Seeing how much I can consume in a short period of time when I stressed or bored has taught me…

I eat everything. I don't believe in having foods that are off-limits. I think I'll just want them more. I believe in keeping calories within 1700-2000 range every day and not having too many "cheat" days. If I want to eat cake, I just try to eat less throughout the day. Or I exercise to get the calories back.

I was unsuccessful last week - I gained a pound instead of losing. There may be several reasons for it.* My cycle is off by 5 days and it's been a hard hormonal ride. * I am…

I live and work in Silicon Valley, which is in Northern California. I work in San Francisco and there are a lot of fit people in the city, particularly bicyclists. Driving is inconvenient and parking can cost $50 a day, so a lot of people don't own cars. Our house is in South Bay, which is quite far from San Francisco.…

Insightful video ^^ I have eating all or a part of my exercise calories and have been steadily losing weight. Some calorie burn rates seem way high and I don't trust them, so I would either not eat them back or eat part of them back after doing some research online.

I see a lot of yoga suggestions in this thread? Why is yoga a good idea? Is flexibility important for riding? I am a bit of a beginner and don't know.

I manage people at work. Their well being is something I care about. It's better to ask *in private* and be wrong than to miss something potentially dangerous that you could have helped with. The private conversation is where "I am doing it for medical reasons" would have come out. That's where I would have dropped it. As…

Invading someone's privacy by questioning their food choices in public is not okay. But if I had a coworker who weighed 200 pounds and opted for 2 oz of tuna for lunch, I would have assumed that they are dangerously starving themselves in order to lose weight. I would have just asked in private.

I gained 36 pounds with my son, starting at 142 pounds and 5.7' tall. It's been 19 months and I am finally at 143 pounds but planning to lose another 13 pounds. It hasn't been an easy journey back and my body is not back to it's pre-baby firmness, for sure. MFP is the first thing that has truly worked. I got stuck at about…

Bodyboarding, swimming, horseback riding, dancing. I am also into Gilad and other old aerobics videos.

Any good books anyone can recommend on the subject? I binge eat sometimes and can't quite figure out what triggers me psychologically. My father was once a binging alcoholic, before he quit, so binge behavior runs in the family. I don't think simple tricks, like keeping the food away, would help me. Once I start binging, I…

Great job! Very inspiring.

Hello All, This group has been quiet but maybe we could bring it back. I am a mother of a toddler, a manager of 8 people, and I have an insane 4-hour a day commute in Silicon Valley. Finding time to exercise has been a big challenge. I don't have that much to lose - 10-15 pounds to be a size 4 - but these last 10 baby…

I use an app called Six Pack from Runtastic. It's a great way to get 10-15 minutes of ab exercises into your busy day. You won't lose all of your baby tummy by exercising though, is my experience. Overall weight loss is key. Which frequently means dieting.
