Would love thoughts on stalling out...
Ok, so here's my journey. I am 5'3". SW: 192.2lbs, CW:176.8lbs, GW: 140lbs. I began running many months ago, but I was eating too much so ended up just maintaining my weight. Just under five weeks ago I began on a very strict diet that has me on a solid 1100-1200 calories a day. My resting metabolic rate is 1500 calories,…

Pinched a nerve....grrr....
So last night I was pouring myself some water out of our filter, turned to put it back in the fridge and I apparently pinched a nerve dead center of my back.

Of course you never want to dismiss mental health issues…

How do you deal with siblings and weight?
I am the oldest of four sisters. I've always been the chubbier one, and I'm sure that part of that is because I'm 6 years older than the next oldest, and 12 years older than the youngest. However, in the last year, my weight hasn't changed much, but all three of them have gained - and I'm not even joking - a minimum of…

Hi! New to mfp and starting on big push tomorrow
Hi all, I've been teaching myself to run for a few months now, and now that exercise is no longer a struggle and I actually really enjoy it and miss it when I can't do it, I'm starting tomorrow to make a big push toward a strict, structured diet so I can lose weight! I'm currently 5'4", 192lbs with a large frame, so my end…
