Thanks Vaugirard15! Do you like the Walk app? I haven't tried that one yet.

Hi! I'm starting my second year in a doctoral program in the humanities - looking for friends losing weight in grad school :) Feel free to add me (anyone)!

Hey all, I'm a doctoral student in my mid-20s, joined MFP to lose weight and find healthier ways to handle stress and anxiety. Really looking forward to the squat challenge this month - looks fun!!

When I'm out I usually stick with a Gin & Tonic or a Skinny Vodka & Tonic, right around 80 calories per drink depending on the liquor.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone! When I run it is usually somewhere between 3 and 5 miles (primary goal is weight loss, getting into a pattern to become a "runner"), so it sounds like all of your advice should fit my situation really well. Thanks for all of the help!

I have minigoals to keep myself motivated and to remember to give myself (nonfood) rewards for making progress! I was told it's best to have different kinds of minigoals so that if you stall in one area you are still seeing progress in another - so I have lbs lost goals, pant sizes, running times, yoga stances (the arm…

Thanks everyone! I've been cleared for exercise and body-weight training explicitly from my PT, but I will be sure to talk to him about weight training in particular next time and bring in your suggestions.

If you have a Trader Joe's close by it has really changed how I eat - I opt for simple high protein and fiber meals, something like yogurt or oatmeal for breakfast, a sandwich or salad for lunch, and then I throw in something from Trader Joe's frozen foods section for dinner. Unlike most packaged stuff a lot of TJ options…

Be proud and do whatever you feel most comfortable doing!

I'm starting C25K this week and would love some friends! I've started the program (using the Zombies Run app) a few times now, I always make it to the end of week 3 before I get caught up in other things and, before I know it, a month or more has gone by without me running. Would love to have accountability friends! Feel…

One more thing, are you hitting your fiber goals for the day? Once I really started focusing on high fiber/high protein throughout the day my cravings have gone down dramatically. Good luck!

I know exactly how you feel! I've started having hot tea in the late evening and that seems to really work for me, as well as lots and lots of water. If I get really bad cravings I go for something with protein but as little calories as I can manage - something like an apple with a TBSP of peanut butter or a slice of…

I love it! I play zumba core on wii at home, I get too bored with the DVDs but the game element keeps it spontaneous and fun.

I have found that almost anything from AC/DC picks up my speed :)

I'm a big fan of coffee and water, then I usually make a small plate of either fruit mix or veggie/hummus mix and snack on that while I am working. I do a little bit of dark chocolate as a pick me up in the afternoon, or one of those chobani bite greek yogurts (I like to freeze them until they get an ice cream sort of…

Hi all, I've just finished my first year in a PhD program in the humanities. With the stress of school and a fairly bad back injury last year I've gained 60ish pounds over the past few years. I'd love to share tips and motivations with y'all, I know my biggest struggle is eating junk to try and steam through stress and…
