I'm a breakfast skipper
So, I've been on MFP for a couple years, but I've slacked off. As a result, I've gained a little weight.

Women with endometriosis! Please help!!
I've mentioned in previous threads that I have very painful periods that prevent me from working out. Working out doesn't help the pain either. It actually makes it worse.

Feeling sick after eating 5/8 of 1 cake slice
I just got back from a birthday party. There was so much fattening food, but there were healthy options. I chose the healthy options and I saved my calories for dessert. There was a sign next to this fondant-covered, three-tiered cake that said one layer was red velvet and the other was banana. I wanted the banana. So…

Clothing inspiration
I know it seems like a shallow reason to be motivated to get in shape, but is anyone else motivated by being able to wear certain clothes and look good? For example, I love the fact that crop tops are making a comeback. I know that anyone of any size can wear them if they want, but for me personally, I wanna have a body…

What's your worst eating habit?
For me, it's skipping breakfast and then pigging out at lunch or eating the junk food at the office. Before, I was a coffee addict combined with being a breakfast skipper. I would drink a huge thermos full of coffee almost every morning and would get cranky without it. Oh, and I would drink more coffee throughout th day.…
