I'm new here too, and also looking to lose 100+ lbs! I don't have a way to monitor my weight since I'm in a wheelchair, so I use measurements for my weekly weigh-in. So far I'm down 2 inches! Glad to see you here. Be glad to have you "Friend" me so we can encourage each other.

How much experience do you have in public speaking, especially in the area of film/video production? Have you had an experienced producer or production assistant review the video for you? How much time have you spent in front of a public camera (even if it's just your webcam used for a general mass audience)? The reason…

MFP definitely needs a "LIKE" button for posts like this one - to let the community "PROMOTE" the post to the top of the list!

Kudos to you! This is the first "I'm going to stick up for my nutrition and fitness goals" aggression that is actually appropriate! I've heard people talking about how they are deliberately rude to people just so they can show that they are on a diet plan of some sort. However, you're simply defending your right to have…

I made MFP avatar my motivation - I come here every day so I can see the future me looking back at me and pushing me toward success, yes!

I love cello solo music, but you couldn't tell it by looking at me. All my friends know I'm a great country music (80s) fan, and that's normally what I enjoy. But in those quiet moment when I'm relaxed and meditative, it's strictly cello solo for me.

I've taken a real liking to Kix dry cereal - and it's WAAAAAAAAY cheaper than 100 calorie packs of anything, or the protein bars/shakes, or whatever. And they are super crunchy! Whole wheat too!

Since you're having concerns about the drink, stop using it. Try working out for two weeks without it and see what happens. Sounds like a good control environment to me at least.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not really on a diet. I'm just making some healthier choices about what I eat. However, that does not exclude any kind of food - ice cream, chocolate, pizza, beer, whatever. What matters is that I take into consideration what I'm eating and how it's going to effect the rest of my…

I understand what everyone is saying when they say it should be you're way or the highway, but I'm not so sure that really a very encouraging way to persuade them onto your side of the fence. Why would you want to push your disciple onto them, aren't you the one that admittedly has the problem? If they don't have a problem…

Hello everyone, I'm T12 paraplegic for 22 years and an amputee. I cannot stand or walk at all, and have extremely restrictive finances, so gym membership(s) and driving are both out of the picture for me. However, I do use a hand cycle, just like this one…

Hello everyone, I'm T12 paraplegic for 22 years and an amputee. I cannot stand or walk at all, and have extremely restrictive finances, so gym membership(s) and driving are both out of the picture for me. However, I do use a hand cycle, just like this one…

Well, I'm not a qualified 'shorty' so I can't speak for that people group, but I can tell you want I do. When I go to the gym and work out, I explicitly DO NOT compare myself to others. My workout is for me. I can watch them, learn from them, and sometimes mimic them, but my workout is mine and nobody else's. So when my…
