This weekend I was around family that I only see occasionally. Everyone commented on the fact that I'm getting slimmer. But, like everyone else, I reached for a small slice of cake ( strawberry shortcake homemade!!!) My aunt looked at me with basically disgust and said "that is not on your diet." I looked back at her and…

I have anxiety and panic attacks. Right before I started MFP my doctor put me on a low dose medication to help me. A week later, I was back to dancing in my living room. ( i hadn't done it in over 5 years). A week after that I started MFP and I work out every day. At my last check up, my doctor was ecstatic that I was…

Salt and Pepper all the way!!!!! Thats sooo sexy!!!

I'm totally in!!!!!

most vegetables have little to no calories. When I'm in snack mode, I have 3 servings of carrots, which is only 15 calories. But if you're constantly hungry, you may want to actually consider upping your protein and fiber intake. Both of these keep you fuller for longer and helps me curve my snack mode.

I couldn't tell by looking at myself that I was loosing weight. Then I realized that my boobs were shrinking in direct proportion to my waist. Bummer. There's not much there to shrink :-(

Squats and steps!!! I swear I was in the same boat as you!!! I started doing my squats and then added in steps, and just yesterday my friends said that I'm gaining my butt back!!! Plus, the steps are a great workout! I love it! :-D

Ok seriously.... More words on WHY would be helpful.... I have noticed that when I don't do that, I maintain and not loose weight. Also, even within my goals MFP says i should be -490 calories a day. Any doctor or fitness trainer ( i have asked both...) and basically ANYONE always says to lose weight you need to burn more…

How is that inaccurate and scary??? You have to burn more calories than you take in to loose weight. I eat 1200 calories a day, and I burn 1400-1500... Perfectly healthy...

The meal plans are a great suggestion, I'd definitely do it!! Give yourself 1 cheat day a week, if needed, do 2, and then try and work it down. Do ANY exercise that you enjoy, even if you start out small with it. If you notice you tend to eat more at night, give yourself some extra calories to save for the evening, and try…

I'm not that much into pop/ hip hop although there are a few great songs in that genre that I love... However, for me personally, I love the irish/ punk like DropKick Murphys for aerobics, and stuff like boxing and weight lifting I love All that Remains and Hatebreed ( metal).

I plateaued after my first 10 lbs lost... I think i'm getting out of it as we speak. I never eat my calories back that I lost through exercise for that day, I just make sure I eat between 1200-1300 calories a day. If you go under that, your body goes into starvation mode ( i accidentally did that which is what I believe…

I'm 5'6 and its like we're the red headed step child everyone forgot about on christmas!!!

oh my god! I think this is the best thread that I've seen so far!!! THANK YOU for starting this!! I'm sooo ready to begin my workouts today!!!

I'm new too! I have been on MFP for about 3 weeks now and always looking for more friends. :-D

I'm in need of more friends! Please add me! I'm a 30 year old single female, trying to loose 60 lbs, and I need encouragement!!

Boxing, or just walking around. Walking will help stretch out your knee and hopefully heal it quicker, but if its too painful, do some boxing. Even some upper body weight training with you sitting down will help burn off the calories. MFP doesn't calculate weight training as calorie burning, but its still a fact that it…

Single here too. Happily most days, but if someone came into my life, that would be great too!

I just joined 10 days ago, I have already lost 5 lbs, but I have a lot more to go! I am 30 years old and would like to get back down to the weight I was in high school... More friends would be much appreciated!!!

i tried the ticker thing, but I can't get it on here for some reason. I'm totally in! This was my very first week with MFP, and ... I worked out for 290 minutes this week! :-D I've already lost 5 lbs. ( much more to go, but I think it's a good start! )

I'm 5 ft 6 inches. My goal is anywhere between 130 and 150 lbs. I used to be about 120 ( ten years ago) and that is definitely too tiny for my height and body structure. My advice is to figure out what your range is for your height specifically. It's okay to be at the top of that range, or even a bit above it, if its a…
