Beginner weightlifting
Hello all, I, along with many others, am trying to go on the new year, new me kick. As part of the plan I would love to start weightlifting, but I really don't know where to begin. I'm a weakling, I will admit. I can't even bench press the bar. My goal of lifting is to increase muscle, lose inches, and have a fit and toned…

Suggestions for a newbie?
Hey guys! As the title says I'm a newbie to this whole thing! I'm 20, about 200 lbs give or take, and I've been a yo-yo, tried everything, fallen off the band wagon dieter for years. Some health concerns have recently come to light, and I searched the Internet in a desperate plea to see if there were any way to assuage my…

Loose skin?
Hey guys! I've got a few questions about loose skin I'd love to ask. I'm 20 years old and have about 50-60 lbs to lose. I'm covered in stretch marks from gaining weight (I weigh 202 now at my highest). I was wondering if because I have stretch marks if I'd be more prone to lose skin after weight loss, and how to prevent…

Calling all weight loss vets--need to lose 20 lbs by October 15th!
Hello all, As the title of the post says, I need to lose 20 lbs (and be able to run a 5k) by October 15th. I have reduced my calories and carbs and have changed the overall way I eat. I also exercise. I was wondering if I continue on this should I be okay for October or is there something more that I can do?

Again
I'm so on and off. I fell off the wagon more times than I can count. Now, I'm twenty pounds heavier than I was at the start of the year:/ Exercising isn't a problem, but the food? I LOVE eating. My family LOVES it. I don't know how to stop my food addiction :( Sorry. Just a little vent thread.

Starting....Again.
I've started and stopped countless times. I don't know what's supposed to make this time different, but I want it to be different. I hope it will be different. I have no problem going to the gym when I have time to exercise. My problem is diet. I Love carbohydrates. Absolutely adore them. It's sooo hard to resist. I don't…

Easter Blues
Right before Easter I binged and decided that it was okay to eat off my diet through Easter, but we haven't had any food in the house so I've eaten take out every day this week! I'm finding it so hard to stick to a diet plan and I was doing amazing with my exercise before Easter, but now I've stopped :( I need to get back…

Eating Back on a low carb diet?
As stated, I'm low carbing, not calorie counting, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to eat back my exercise "carbs" or not? I just did 43 minutes of exercise and ate them back, but which way is more effective? I was told you're supposed to eat protein IMMEDIATELY post workout to help your muscles? Any help would be much…

The Waiting Train
Hi there! My name is Kim and I'm currently 5'6'' and 172 lbs. Recently I evaluated myself, hopping aboard the "New Year, New Me," train. I am at the heaviest weight I have ever been. I never used to have a stomach, and now have a rather large one. My thighs have always been the biggest part of me, and they're expanding and…

Hi. Restarting for a better me. :)
I'll introduce myself. My name is Kim, I'm eighteen years old, and I have several abandoned MFP accounts. Recently, I've reached the heaviest weight I've ever been. I have a loving, incredibly SKINNY boyfriend. I knew that I needed to lose weight the moment that I kissed him. Our stomachs touched. Not because of him, but…
