I had gifted my mom a dress in April for her birthday which she didn't like. She told me the colour would suit me better and I should keep it and not return it. So I tried it on and I couldnt pull it below my shoulders and i tried it again this morning and I could pull it down but it's still tight around my arms!! Yay!!…

Hi I want to walk for atleast 70-90 minutes everday!! I walked for 70 minutes today. Going to gradually increase the time and lose 1 kg by the end of the week and 5 kgs by the end of the month.

I haven't exercised this whole month as I've been ill since 18th September and I rely on exercise to adjust my calorie consumption. The old me would've wrecked my diet with junk food and overeating but I've been good and not really indulged much. I had a pastry on 11 September and after so many days I had a cheat meal for…

This really sucks when it happens! When I experience it I'm like you're not paying for it so easy with the judgement😤

I stopped taking my psych meds a couple of months ago. It didn't affect me much but recently I started feeling the effects. I was confused, disoriented and agitated and it was affecting my exercise and diet. I started taking them again since a week ago and now I have mental clarity and am more upbeat :)

I want my face to look slimmer and younger. That's it!!

I hate cliques at gyms that stand around and laugh at people who are working hard to improve their health. I actually had this experience at an outdoor group class where the cocky guy, leader of the gang wouldn't stop passing snide comments and causing his mostly lady friends to laugh. It was a small group I was new. I…

Wow you're hangry. Go eat something

What you need is support . This is a great community, very friendly and non judgement people here who give damn good advice. Be consistent, connect with like minded people who'll help you in your journey. Unfortunately, the mental health groups here are dead and that's the only part about this community that sucks :( I…

I really want to get into nike/Reebok/(insert a major brand) trackpants. They don't do plus size in nike here in India. It's only from xs to xl. And my big @$$ won't fit into it. Kinda defeats the purpose of selling workout gear when you won't design it for people who need it the most🤔🤦

I can't help but agree with you nothing like fresh air open ground and nature of course!! 🤣🤣

I was very skinny as a young child. I didn't like food. It was boring and I had a busy social life. Playing with my building kids, running with them everywhere, talking till our mouths hurt was my idea of fun and my parents especially my dad kept me away from junk food. I used to cry for a bag of chips and my tears never…

I'm severely mentally ill and that has obviously affected my education, employment opportunities, social life, love life, physical health. I can live with that. No problem. I'm ok with being called a jobless ugly buffalo. But the constant painful flashbacks from the past every minute of the day? That's making everything…

Unprofessional trainers!! Years ago(circa 2009) I had a bad experience at a local gym I was a member of- one trainer wouldn't shut up with the personal comments and catcalling and the targets were usually young women of course. I had a massive showdown with the management coz of his behaviour when he targeted me and…

Superb!! Looking great!!👏👏

The dress that I am wearing today has become a bit of an embarassing nuisance as the sleeve of the dress keeps falling off coz I've lost weight around my shoulders thanks to regular weight lifting. It's slightly infuriating :D

I'm 33 y/o. Wouldn't mind some new friends for motivation and encouragement ☺️☺️

I love strength training. Especially the ones that target arms. Caroline Garvin has awesome strength training videos so I do them. I like to walk and jog too. I have love/ hate relationship with HIIT😂

This app made me fall in love with strength training. Users here made me realise with their progress pics that lifting weights as a woman won't make me bulky. Now I look forward to it more than cardio o:) <3

Wait, I can actually add foods to the database for everyone?? That's incredible!! There are a lot of local vegetables that you don't find in restaurants abroad unavailable in the database! And these are really low on calories and cooked in very little oil atleast in my household!!

I'm waking up rested and fresh in the morning and have started going for morning walks. I love it!! I'm not a morning person and used to wake up really grumpy and angry despite sleeping for 10 hours :| I'm trying to wean off sleeping pills and trying natural methods (sleep inducing foods) like warm milk with nutmeg powder.…

I totally get this!! I love the look and smell of chocolate cakes and pastries but everytime I eat it it kinda gives me a mild headache. Yay me!!

I'm not diabetic but it runs in my family. Actually come to think of it since the past few days my tongue has been feeling really dry and I drink a lot of water so dunno why that's happening? Mumbai is very hot and humid. So basically, someone said if I feel dizzy I should ignore it? I eat healthy and nutrient dense foods…

What do you mean? The thing is I'm Indian and MFP is not familiar with some of the local foods here. Like for breakfast I eat pancakes made of gram flour or lentil flour and the Indian name is cheela or chilla so when I searched the database all the options were some fancy coffee drinks available in US lol. I have not…

You summed up my problem beautifully!! I can't skip a meal because I feel faint or I lose control and binge on anything I see even bloody fox nuts. now how do I find a balance? What strategy shall I use to keep my blood sugar level steady?? P. S. Thank you everyone for your helpful advice.

Your advice is good I'm 5'3" 78-80 kgs and relatively active and I mostly eat home cooked very simple meals but what you said about skipping breakfast if I wanna fit in a high calorie meal? Won't I feel dizzy? I eat a light dinner and have a glass of warm milk with nutmeg powder to induce sleep but I just can't skip meals…

Not today but everyday- my dad's driving. I get a mini heart attack everytime he gets behind the wheels. Thankfully, he has mellowed with age but before that he was very prone to road rage. The way he drives I'm lucky we've not had a serious accident :s

My masseuse. I'm a hefty woman but my skin/bones are delicate and I can't stand too much pressure while being kneaded. So she told me as diplomatically as she could that not all fat people can withstand too much pressure. Well now I have taken it as a challenge to reduce for her :D :p
