Body dysmorphia
I know most people have physical traits they are unhappy with. I would assume that's normal... no one is perfect. I was wondering where the line is when you cross over from normal criticisms and wanting to change certain aspects to having actual disordered thinking. Is it when you exaggerate it in your head? For example:…

Sex and relationships
So, hypothetically, if you found an amazing man/woman and loved pretty much everything about them except sex issues, how bad would it have to get to leave them? Or would you never leave because of sex issues? Would you put up with it if they wanted it more? If you wanted it more? If it was terrible when it happened? If…

Please help me decide my next step
So I have already lost a ton of weight and Im trying to decide what to do next. I have a *kitten*-ton of extra skin and I'm planning on having a Tummy Tuck in April so I want a game plan to stick to for the next few months. I'm around 24.5% body fat and generally pretty happy with how my body looks now. The only part that…

Building muscle in a deficit
Does anyone have some tips for magically building muscle in a deficit? I can usually lose weight OR make progress on my lifts but lately my lifts have been going downhill and my weight is stalled. I should be losing 1.5lbs a week with 500cals earned through fitbit adjustments + the 250cal deficit that is already calculated…

High impact sports bras
Are there any...extra busty...ladies that have found an awesome sports bra they would reccomend? Preferrably something reasonably priced I can order online. Ive been wearing 6 cheaper sports bras when I run and it would be fantastic to get one (or 2) that can hold these girls down!!

Horrible self esteem
I was wondering if anyone has been able to heal self esteem issues and could possibly share some tips. Basically, I had terrible self esteem when I was overweight then my husband said/did some things that made the issue 100x worse and I havent been able to get over it. It motivated me to lose weight but the closer I get to…

I finally lost all my baby weight!
After having my last 2 babies (under 2 years apart!) I found myself heavier than I had been my whole life. The 1st 25lbs came off relatively easy but then I got stuck around 190lbs. I gained and lost the same 10lbs for months but couldn't push past it. I was exhausted all the time. I never had the energy to keep up with my…

Loose skin
So Im saving up for a tummy tuck now (and a brazillian butt lift lol) because I thought once the skin was loose and damaged it would never snap back. I realized that this community is massive though so I wanted to ask if there was a way to tighten skin? Ive been obese/overweight most of my life and have had 3 babies so I…

Transitioning from very low calories
So I'm a bit concerned I've messed up my metabolism coming off a diet program that's had me eating under 1200 cals a day for 2 months. My energy is shot and I know I've lost weight eating less than I do now. So a typical day is something like this: Bar (110cals) Protein shake (120cals) Tuna packet (70cals) Piece of fruit…

Simple program
I need to find a workout program that can be done with very basic equipment. I have a bench/rack, barbell, and dumbbells. No gym membership. Maybe something similar to SL5x5 but with a few more moves. That program worked well for me for a while but after a few months I got bored and started doing my own thing.

Calorie goals
I'm 5'8" 173lbs and I would like to lose between 17-27lbs (I've already lost 43lbs since I had my last baby a year ago!!!) I've been losing at a great pace by eating 1000-1400 cals a day and slowly adding in fitnessblender videos but I'm ready to start lifting weights again. Does anyone know how to figure out my calorie…

When to start working out
So I'm on this weight loss program and they send me a box of food to last a month and im responsible for one healthy meal a day. Im eating around 1,200 cals a day and have lost 6.5lbs in the past 2 weeks. I love this program but I was thinking I want to eventually start lifting weights again so I don't get to my goal…

Tips for post-workout binging
So I got back into lifting a few weeks ago and have started pushing myself hard. My biggest problem is the crazy appetite that I work up! I seriously want to eat my weight in cinnamon rolls the next day. I was able to lose about 40 lbs last year while lifting and I honestly can't remember how I did it. I want to drop 20lbs…

Back again!
After I had my son (July 2014) I used mfp and heavy lifting to get back to 15 lbs above my prepregnancy weight. I lost about 40 lbs and was starting to feel great! Then I got pregnant and gave birth at the same weight I was when I had my son. She is 3 weeks old now and I had a very traumatizing birth with her. It ended in…
