@jam...prof pic running!

Mine usually went away for about 4-9 months at a time.

it means, "Way to go"

also..."I know, right?!"

Philadelphia!

Deffinitely see a nutritionist. Doctors(most times unfortunately) do not know crap about the actually aspect of good clean nutrition. Second opinion needed!

Focus on the nutrition aspect. Eat WHOLE foods, clean foods. Nothig processed or trans fatty. 1000calories is extremely low. What is the actual purpose of having your calorie intake so low? Instead of focusing on calories, you should be focusing on GOOD foods, eating them when you are hungry, smaller portions throughout…

It depends. If I know them from Tumblr, or from actual real life, then yes I will accept them without a message. But if I do not know who they are and they send me a friend request, I will check into them. Look up their profile, see if they were on a forum I recently commented on...and then message them and ask why?! Haha.…

Congratulations :) You must be sooo proud! You look amazing!

Check out Lecrae and Trip Lee! They are off the hook, and totally clean

Amen! ^ Thank you!

Totally cool with it! I have so many family members who are married to another nationality. :) Not yet at that point for me yet though. Only 18.

I'm 5' 8"...haha maybe not as tall as you were hoping..but still considered taller.

AMEN!

Meat! Meat has iron, it has nutrients. I need that iron very badly. So I am a MEAT EATER.

Praise the Lord!!!! I feel the pain that you had, unfortunately. It is not something to desire at all. But He saw you through this storm. :) Oh I am so happy for you!! AMEN! Keep praising Him sister! Congratulations on your journey.

I use my own way to check for calories burned, fat burned, heart rate. Either the machine I am working on in my home gym is set according to my height, weight, gender, or a HRM. I rarely ever trust MFP, unless I'm in a hurry and did a quick jog, something like that.

Absolutely try it out for 6 weeks. When changing something in your diet you should always try to do it for at least 4-6 weeks so your body can flush out everything else and get into the new way of things. I am gluten free by medical necessity and I do not have migraines, stomach pains, cramps(non PMS related), or other…

Organic, healthy, natural, like good clean foods from the earth, food that is FOOD and not processed, filled with fillers, preservatives, hormones, or artificial colors/flavors. Foods with no added sugar, or sugar substitutes. :happy:

Hi, due to medical needs I eat completely gluten-free, wheat-free, processed food free, raw dairy only, and sugar free. This means nothing with added sugar, including artificial sugars. My sugar that I use is raw honey. And sometimes agave nector. Although I found that agave makes me sick to my stomach. So tons of veggies,…

Yes, especially on the days I could not get out of the house to run, walk, and get in my much needed cardio. Even just 10 minutes of real zumba will get you a good burn, but go for as long as you can! If you can get up to 30 minutes of zumba, woohoo!! It is a great burn, a great way to kick start your day, and it tones…

This is from a person who knew I was hospitalized for severe anorexia, "Oh wow, you are trimming up nicely. I think you will look even better at your goal weight." *Wowzers.* :explode:

Here is the thing with "diet" pills. You can go to GNC and pay out the butt for every magic pill that says it will cut out your fat, boost your metabolism, and make you thin. But you have to understand, in order for these pills to even do any little bit of work in your body, you need to give 110% in your workouts, and 150%…

YES! I completely understand. My body is fit-ish, and I am an athlete. But I feel like if anyone saw me naked they would be running for the hills. I actually have never ever had boobs(way back when I was severely anorexic, it gave me no chance to grow a pair), but I know what you mean. My stomach is firm, but I have skin…

Thank you for posting this :) I can see that your heart is as beautiful as you are! It truly is how we feel about ourselves that matters. Give yourselves a loving boost every once in awhile. We are beautiful, inside and out.

I have friends just like that. For about 6 years I was severely anorexic. So when I gained recovery weight it was as if my friends were almost relieved that I was not a "threat" anymore. As upsetting as that is, through that, and now through my healthy weight loss and fitness journey, I know who my real friends are.

Isn't that such a great feeling?? Congratulations on your success story, and the 42 pounds lost. You are an inspiration! As the months go by...as the years go by, you will see sooooo much change. Keep that smile :)

Right now our towns average temp is about 104, with massive humidity, it would kill anyone to go running outside in this weather.In order to workout properly where I live, you need to drive to get to a decent park. I prefer to be outside, but when I can't then I make do with inside activities. Pretty sure that's what most…

Feel free to add me, :) Support is something that MFP people know how to do. I hope your healthy lifestyle changes make you a new better YOU! -kaitlyn

You're right! It should be a place for people to feel comfortable to ask their question and not be bombarded with "hate". Some people are on a high pedestal of health guru. They need to bring it down a few notches...mfp should be a place that is welcoming to everyone who is at any place in their weight loss/fitness/health…
