Support during craziness
Hi All and happy Thursday! First and foremost, allow me to say that I'm not one to usually post in the community for support so I appreciate any advice / tips you might be able to provide. Second of all, I must be honest and say that I have not been tracking as diligently as I should, but with working from home and trying…

Struggling! Needing support
Hey all! I started my journey 800 days ago, according MFP counter, but in reality I've been struggling with my weight all my life. My struggle is this: I find myself stepping on the scale multiple times a day to make sure I haven't gained anymore weight and I'm sad because it's going to hinder my progress. Any advice would…

Calling all Ladies - Gel Polish Manicures
Ladies, how much do you pay for your gel manicures? More importantly, anyone in the Los Angeles area (around the 626, 909 areas) that goes to a killer nail salon that does great manicures? (This second part is kind of a joke because it's a long shot)

I would really love some work-related advice :-)
I don't post in the forums often. Since I joined MFP almost a year ago, my posts have been far and few between, and they are usually always weight loss / fitness related. But alas, today, I have had to succumb to the world of message boards because I'm at my wits end and I need advice. I'm a senior paralegal at my law…

Calling all Ladies
This is a question for the ladies. Have you ever gone out alone? I was supposed to go see this guy's band (he and I have gone out a few times) but my friend had to cancel for tonight. I kind of still want to go and show support. Thoughts? Advice? I don't want to look desperate but I don't think it will make me look that…

Would you track it?
I worked out this morning, and it was my third workout day this week. The goal I set for myself on MFP is to burn 1,240 and I've burned 955 already. I plan on going for a 4 mile walk tomorrow morning, as well as Sunday to complete my week (If I go over my calories burned for the week I'll feel amazing!). I am walking from…

Which fitness class would you take?
Cardio Kickboxing, Zumba or spinning? I want to take a fitness class tonight because it'll help me stay at the gym for a total of 60 minutes. One of the gym locations I attend (5 min drive from work) has a spinning class at 6:45 and a cardio kickboxing class at 7. I work until 6, so I'll be idle for 40ish minutes. Another…

Motivation Needed - Help me get to the gym!
Yesterday was the first day I worked out in almost two months. It was a quick 40 minute workout and I only burned about 281 calories, but lazy as it was, I felt amazing afterwards!!!! I slept better than I had in weeks and today I feel better than I've felt in weeks! Today, I'm kind of dragging.. just a lil bit. I need…

Will you eat it if you hate the taste?
I've had a couple of debates recently that the taste of food is meaningless and food serves no purpose other than fueling the body. I tend to disagree - if something doesn't taste good, even if I'm trying to lose weight, I can't eat it - I'd rather starve, as dramatic as that sounds. Today, I have tilapia and green beans…

Saw ex boyfriend at an event and ate my feelings
I worked a wine walk event tonight for charity and I ran into an ex who was there on a date (maybe a second or third date). We were off and on for about three years. I've been dating someone (off on) for 9ish months and the last time I saw this ex was last week when he treated me out for the night for my bday. Saw him…

I'm a newbie - Week one down
Hi all - I'm a newbie and I completed my first week on Wednesday. I'm down 2ish lbs so far (the scale went back and forth between 2 and 3 lbs a couple of times on Wednesday morning so I decided to round down for now). So far, I've logged my food 9 days in a row and it feels great to be aware of what I'm putting in my…
