  • I began my recovery from anorexia/bulimia eight years ago. It is a continuing struggle but you can get through it!

  • I started on MFP trying to lose 1.5-2 lbs a week-placing me at 1280 calories on a "lightly active" lifestyle. Three weeks in, I had lost absolutely no weight at all and was grumpy and feeling deprived. I upped my cals to 1500-1700 per day -AND VOILA! I feel so much better and I've dropped 2 pounds-I think I underestimated…

  • I'm on Mirena as well, coming up on my 3rd anniversary with it. I adore it. No weight gain, I barely have periods, and no side effects that I have noticed. I didn't gain weight from the pill (that I knew about) but I was very hormonal and needed something with less side effects.

  • This. Yes! You just have to fake it till you make it. The more you tell yourself you are (insert whatever), you will be. If you say "I'm not pretty", you will think so. "If you say, yes, I am pretty and forget anyone who doesn't see it"-then guess what...eventually, you do think that way. It's taken me a long time and I…

  • This is EXACTLY what I thought. If I'm going to have to fraction my cupcake down, what am I going to do with it? Also, can't you just imagine trying to do this out in public? "Oh, I'm sorry-Please hold on while I cut this into a sliver of what you gave me then suck crazily at my fake ice cream cone."

  • I teach kindergarten at a pretty affluent school, so most of the kids bring their lunches filled with healthy things (some examples: EDAMAME (I laughed, honestly, the first time I saw it), apples, grapes, blueberries, organic EVERYTHING.) Butbutbut-I'll also say that you can't control that we had a birthday today and the…

  • I am a TOTAL sugar addict. I am trying to do the same thing. What I've found is having a very sweet/tart fruit in the house (green apples, raspberries, strawberries, pineapple, etc.) really helps me. I also have given away/stopped buying so much sweets/candies so that they are not on hand as much. You can also try the…

  • I agree with making yourself happy but at the same time, a good friendship is very hard to find. I'll admit I've let friendships slip because I chose to make my bf happy at the time...and guess who is still around? Hint: It's not him. But like others have said, there's no reason why you should feel guilty about going. Get…

  • Hi! Ultimately, I'd like to lose around 20-30 pounds (depends on how much my body shape changes)...I'm trying to work out at least 4 times a week and stay with a pretty moderate diet. I'd love to be 20 lbs down by April 1st!

  • I have been asked if I was pregnant more than once. I am just a person that carries all of my weight in my stomach but I am really, really tired of that. I'm 23, I shouldn't be like this!
