Please don't feel bad you are definitely not alone! In 2009, I used MFP and lost about 23 pounds the healthy way. I felt more amazing about myself than I ever had. In 2011, I got married and shortly thereafter had a complication from shingles known as Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. It was very scary and my weight dipped even more.…

if you're interested in purchasing additional equipment, i'd highly suggest trx. it can be installed anywhere, stored easily, and is relatively inexpensive. it's also a fun workout that involves your entire body, but is very good for the core in particular. there are a ton of exercises you can do with it, and you don't…

thank you so much for all of your support. i've been doing kettlebell training and trx 1x or 2x a week so i really think it could be some muscle. i'm usually pretty much 100% cardio. i really appreciate the kindness. my friends don't get it, especially because they think i'm small already and just being ridiculous. but…

is 10 lb a good starting weight for kettlebell, i have no idea where to begin!

where did you get the work out from? i'm looking to start doing kettlebells. i read in Shape magazine this month that a person doing a kettlebell workout can burn 20 calories a minute!

i hear you! i leave my house at 6:45 am to go to work and don't get home until around 8:00 pm. i alternate going mornings and at night. i feel like when i go too much in the morning (aka get up at 4:45 so I can be at the gym 5:30-6:15 am), i start to drag by the end of the week, but when i work out until 10:00 pm, i have…

i usually eat around 300-400 calories for breakfast (i should be eating 1460 i think). usually that comes down to an eggwhite turkey sausage flat bread sandwich from dunkin donuts + medium coffee with cream from dunkin donuts (if i'm on the run), or a breakfast sandwich (100 calorie fiber one english muffin with a half of…

i HATE maintaining! i went from 152 pounds last year to 127 (at my lowest, which was a little skinny for me), and i try to stay about 130. i've kept following my 1/2 pound a week target, instead of maintaining, because i usually cheat at least twice a week. i feel like if i let myself more calories for "maintenance," i…

this is so dumb, but it really helps me. sometimes i think the comfort thing about stress eating is the eating itself, instead of the actual food. on days that i absolutely feel crazy and need to binge (i'm studying for two bar exams, so that's often) i just pig out on healthy food, like eat three nutri-grain bars or a…

no problem, it's a TOTAL pain in the *kitten*

hi, there's no database, but everyone's myfitnesspal page is viewable as www.myfitnesspal.com/username. so if you know your friend's username, you can type it in, view their profile, and click add as a friend! (it took me forever to figure out and it bugged me!)

i love stoli vanil and diet.. it's a no fail

hey guys, i'm in an ipod rut... anyone care to share some pumping gym tunes? TIA Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Food Diary

if you can read while exercising, do it! i literally sometimes stop working out mid-elliptical session to find a new magazine when i finish the one i'm on! i love trashy magazines, so i try to only read them when i'm at the gym. i buy a decent amount and leave them in my locker so i can't peek early.

thomas whole wheat mini bagels - only 110 calories... i usually toast it and put some reduced fat pb on it or can't believe it's not butter spray (0 calories!)

don't feel bad smagnan, i had texas roadhouse last night. it was phenomenal though :) those rolls are to die for.

Hey Guys, I know we were recently talking about nutrition at restaurants and I found this link for Cheesecake Factory (they don't post their information online). Just FYI if you're interested http://calorielab.com/news/2007/07/28/calorie-pusher-comes-to-town-the-cheesecake-factory-hits-rochester/

:) the under armour one is awesome. plus the cross back is super cute.

these aren't super cheap, but i bought them both after finally deciding to give in and buy good ones i desperately needed! i'm a size D so it's hard for me to find a bra that doesn't crush me but still supports me enough. these are the best i've ever owned :) Under Armour, $44.99…

chili's has a great guiltless grill menu, and it has all of its nutrition facts online. a lot of restaurants do post information on line, so sometimes i check and figure out what i will eat before i go in order to keep myself in check.

the biggest loser cookbook is amazing! it's cooking regular meals using healthier foods. also try biggest loser family cookbook - both cheap from amazon!

hi! if you haven't gotten a crock pot, i suggest it highly. i never cooked much, and with my resolution to not eat out all of the time and to cook healthy satisfying meals, i thought i'd give it a whirl! there's an awesome cook book for healthy meals in a crock pot i bought off amazon - "fix-it and forget-it lightly" by…
