Starting over
I've been on this app since 2011/2012. I hlad much success then but never got all the way to goal. I got in a relationship, got married. The only thing we did for dates it seems was eat. I played the yoyo, being consistent tracking, then not. Losing 10 in a dietbet just to gain it back. Eating healthy all week, only to eat…

How far out did you buy your dress?
I'm currently about 8 1/2 months out from the wedding. I don't want to dress shop until I drop more weight but I don't want to cut it too close either. I think they can only take a dress in for about 40lbs? I was hoping to have lost 30 before buying the dress and then another 30 ish by the wedding day. But I haven't done…

Choosing vendors
I am getting married Feb 28, 2015. I got engaged in November and of course got crazy doing all kinds of research. I'm trying to find what an average price is for each vendor so that I can have a realistic budget, and narrowing down choices based on reviews, etc. So just when I think I have the top 3 in coordinators,…

Do all ballrooms have to be hideous?
I'm doing my first venue tours this coming weekend. I've been researching and looking at photos for days. I'm getting married in a little over a year but a lot of venues book far out in Los Angeles, especially for Saturdays. The hotels have the best inclusive packages and they can help take care of a lot of the…

2014/2015 Brides
I've been on MFP a while, however, I'm basically starting over after gaining back what I initially lost. I've been flip flopping for a while which I can blame on my now fiancé and our frequent meals out. lol But really, I own it I overindulged and now I'm paying for it. I was not paying attention and now I'm where I didn't…

When does the urge go away
To sleep with other people? I don't know if I'm getting a monogamy panic attack or what. I'm 36 and my current 10 month relationship is my longest. I dated a bit, had some casual things that were never explicitly exclusive so even if I wasn't sleeping with other people, I knew that I could. Now, I find myself wanting to…

Love vs. In love
I read this in Dear Margo recently and thought it was very interesting. It helped me put some things in perspective regarding my own relaionship as I have wondered if I was lacking some of the lust part that was involved in love. It makes sense to me. What do you think? Dear Readers: I was recently in the UK for a wedding.…

Man-ventory
I was at an outdoor mall by my house today and they actually had a storefront where you can window shop for men. I guess it is advertising a dating site called http://www.checkhimout.com/. The sign said "Man-Ventory" and there are guys posing inside and in the window. Hilarious! I took a picture of the store but I don't…

Gotta have priorities
A note from 8th graders deciding whether they can be a couple. The truth about boys, they will be there for you as long as they are not eating fried chicken. Lol http://mashable.com/2013/01/31/8th-grader-breakup/#m!f1a5

Sharing a bed
I really need to know how people manage to sleep in the same bed with another person. I have been with my boyfriend for 9 months and we've only done the sleep over thing probably like 7 times and usually only when we were in Vegas for the weekend or if we have to be somewhere early the next morning since we live 30 min…

BC pills and thyroid pills oh my
Ok. So doctors keep saying that new birth control pills should not cause weight gain but I beg to differ. Background: I have PCOS and had thyroid cancer and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. My thyroid was removed in 2006. I took a break from the pill for a few years but started back this April after problems with cysts. I had lost…

Ladies: Workout pants?
Ok, so this is awkward, but any recommendations for workout pants that don't ride up the front? Weird because it used to be all about the back wedgie, but I take a lot of dance classes and it seems like some of the workout pants I have keep creeping in the front and it's really uncomfortable and even less classy to be…

Oh yeah, I knew it. LA sucks to date
I've always thought that too many choices means nobody wants to choose or they all want the top 2%. There is just too much to do here to think about settling down. Busy, busy. http://blogs.laweekly.com/afterdark/2012/08/why_la_is_a_terrible_place_to_be_single.php

What is love?
So, I haven't been able to troll the boards as much lately. Can't do it at work and busy lately on my free nights. If anyone is wondering about an update about the man I posted about dating a month ago, we are a couple now. He asked me last week to be his girlfriend. It is very weird for me. I'm the perpetually single…

I have a date :)
I'm actually excited about this one. I don't get excited very easily. I never swoon, I never have unrealistic expectations. I met this guy last Sunday at a pub that he picked out and set up (yay!). We talked for 5 or so hours and only went home because he'd get really drunk if we stayed and we both had to let our dogs out.…

30 ish and single
Hi, My name is Candy. I'm not terribly new, have been on MFP a couple of months. I had lost a previous 10lbs before starting then 10 here, and lately have been bouncing up and down with the same couple lbs so at a standstill a bit. I tend to do great all week, then go a little too loose on the weekends so I don't get a…

How many is too many?
If you are dating someone, do you ask how many people they have had sex with? Do you care? I was talking to a co-worker, granted she is only about 21, and she thought that it was "really gross" if someone was in double digits. I get that nobody wants a dirty bird, but especially once you are older, you could have slept…

What's your name?
Anyone mind sharing their first names? If it's not in obvious in your screenname I guess. lol My name is Candy

Comfy like an old shoe
I was thinking to myself earlier this week how I would describe myself to a potential partner, and somehow the subject line popped in my head. lol I have said before that I get pretty comfortable with people early. I'm comfortable with myself and men in general. I feel like I'm a guys' girl which seems to make me the girl…

Dating and the modern woman
I don't know if it's just me, but one aspect of going on dates that causes me anxiety is the issue of the bill. Maybe if you are from a more traditional area or background, it is easy because it's just known that the man pays. I have no idea what to do. (I do not have an issue with paying my own way, though I do think it's…

When it rains it pours
Seriously, there are spurts of absolutely no romantic interest in me, or many all at once. It is so weird. I've been lamenting that there has been no interest coming my way, internet or otherwise. Then all of a sudden this week I am popular. And guys that I have met or gone out with in the past are texting out of the blue…

Working out on thick carpet
Ok, so I like fitness dvd's because if I can't get to a class at the gym, it's more fun to follow a routine than be a hamster on a wheel at the gym on a machine. But I have thickish carpet and it seems to make it hard for me. My tennis shoe catches on it and I feel like I can't move side to side without tweaking my knees.…

Clothing sizes
For women, if you dropped from a size 18 to a 14, do you consider that going down 4 sizes or 2? Random question, but I've been wondering what is considered a size since the odd numbers are usually juniors so they are in their own little category. I would think technically that is only 2 sizes but it's fun to think of it as…

Calculate strength in fitness goals?
I've been on a little over a week and I just realized that the fitness page doesn't add time for strength training. I had put in my goals to exercise 60 minutes, 5 days a week. 3 days a week I split it to 30 min cardio and 30 min strength. If it doesn't count the strength training as part of the workout then it looks like…

questions
I decided to try this site as I've been on another free site but this one seems to have a bigger database of food. I was wondering if this site can generate a meal and/or fitness regime like the other one? Or do you just use it to track but figure out your own exercise? I don't like meal plans since I'm picky but the…
