Yeah the app versions (iPad, phones, etc) shouldn't be bothered by this! They have their own codes. It's just the computer version that was being tinkered with.

Aha somebody must've been tinkering with the style sheet and forgotten to close a bit of code xD

Question - How often are you jumping on that scale? It'll drive you crazy, Lady! If you did the exact same thing/ate the exact same thing/thought the exact same thoughts for a week the odds on that scale will move (and it won't always be in your favor). It's just how your body makes tiny alterations every day. Most people…

The images are slightly too big (you can see the majority of them though). I'll resize to fit better! -- Fixed! And side note: Those spaces on either side of the slash marks (the rows beneath Set 1 & Set 2) are meant to record the weight you used and the number of reps you achieved. So say this is Workout 1 (in workout A)…

I get intimidated very easily in the weight room! But I had the pleasant experience of receiving pointers and general posture tips from 3 different guys this past Monday! They weren't critical at all...I'm sure I looked like a deer in headlights when I saw them coming toward me (I'm not sure why I was convinced that a…

Total strangers should not express more love and concern for you than your own spouse. You should NEVER be afraid to hear what your spouse has to say. These rules go for men and women. I truly wish you the very best. There is no easy solution (but I hope you make the one that's best for you no matter how difficult it is).

To clarify on my statement: I don't think most of the methods in that article qualify as harmful shaming. I was incredibly irked by them using photos of children (and other people without consent such as in the wife scaring ad). I mean...was it necessary? Did those kids specifically volunteer to represent the obese kid (I…

It hurts my heart in a way I can't quite describe. I feel so bad for the people who become a target of that type of thing. I'm cruel to myself and I say terrible things. But if someone other than myself was to say the things my inner voice says... I can't imagine the pain and shame that'd cause. I want extremely overweight…

I wouldn't say that's FOR SURE the solution to your issue but I had a long, extended period of time where I was having a multitude of health issues because my potassium was low. Numbness in my legs, stiffness in my appendages, constipation, frustration/irritation, and headaches to name a few. It wasn't until I started…

It could definitely be a number of things..but let me ask you this: What is your potassium intake like? Chronically low potassium (Hypokalemia) is a large contender toward muscle dysfunction and weakness. ESPECIALLY with periodic -or even prolonged- moments of tingling or numbness. It also wouldn't let your muscles…

Is it muscular pain or more of a numbness pain (like when your legs or feet fall asleep)? When did it start and how rapidly is it worsening? It sounds to me like it would be between mild/temporary nerve damage (like pinching vertebrae) or circulation issues. Do your feet or hands get particularly cold while you're sitting?

Is it pride or frustration (if you can even pin it down)? I don't cry easily but sometimes I just feel so damn proud of myself for pushing through with something that I get emotional. Or on a total opposite day I get that tiny voice in my head that berates me for not having done the workout well enough...like if I had to…

I just started The New Rules of Lifting for Women that was mentioned earlier! I was on the fence about it for about a week...but I've seen SO MUCH positive input from women on this site when they use it that I gave it a shot. I love it! I was smiling when I finished the routine...I neeeever thought I could get a good…

Haha wait a minute I just added you on my friend's list earlier! I memorize actual names so much better than user names xD I LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING YOU AND I PROMISE TO NEVER FORGET WE'RE ALREADY FRIENDS xDD

After I recovered from anorexia I found it extremely hard to say no to people offering me food as well. Partly because I didn't want to worry them (refusing food is a big indicator toward relapse) and partly because I didn't want to hurt their feelings. I always get my feelings a little hurt if I cook something for someone…

I absolutely HATE losing work on my computer...I think I'd handle it better if I hand carved a table and someone smashed it in front of me! Welcome to MFP! So sorry that you're hindered by physical problems! I don't know what sort of limitations you have but there are a number of groups specializing toward your sort of…

SteelySunshine - Don't knock yourself on your picture! 16 pounds is more than most people can manage =D You're doing awesome! I am very, very fortunate that my husband has been with me from the beginning. Even before I got sick (we've been close friends now for 11 years). He was the one who made me get help and who cheered…

Oh man do I know about naturally curly hair! Not because of me (I'm more wavy)..but because of my daughter! Her hair is crazy xD People go gaga for her hair though...I'm pretty sure if I had those kinds of crazy curls people would just assume I was homeless -headdesk- Here's my little stinker (she just turned 3 in March)!…

Yeah you're supposed to eat them. Back in my anorexic days I was given off handed advice to eat toilet paper -around 10-12 sheets daily - to stave off hunger. Thank goodness I had more (barely considering how sick I was) common sense than that. I actually saw a news video a few months ago about how the toilet paper thing…

Than you, Rachtastic =D Having friends for boosting weight loss is also strange to me (anorexia is in particular a lonely sort of disease that leaves no room for social interaction) but I can't see how it'd hurt to try. I'm starting the lifting today while I still have the nerve to xD I'll definitely let you know how it…

AHA I GOT IT TO WORK =D MFP must have some sort of bot filter that choked at the word "c-h-i-n-k". So I made a new photobucket account with this username. Voila! Photo magic! -- I am interested in the cardio, LeahHarris! But I saw that with weight lifting there should be less emphasis on it. I think a small combo might be…

I thought that was the right way to do it! For some reason even though I copy/paste my direct link URL into the post every time I submit my edit it scrambles part of my URL and prohibits that image. Like my "ka_*****" sub name becomes "ka_*****" (it actually is stars) when I reopen to edit. I WILL figure it out -fistshake-…

Haha I can't seem to get these photos right...I keeps automatically changing my URL addresses xD
