Hard Time Sticking With It
So, I started my weight loss journey last August I believe. Between then and Thanksgiving I lost 25-30 pounds. Right now I am maintaining between 155-159 which at a height of 5'7 is right at the very top of a healthy BMI. Since reaching this point I have had the hardest time sticking with it and continuing on this journey.…

How do you treadmill runners do it!
I love running. I run all spring, summer, and fall. However, I am from Michigan and I am sort of a whimp. I told myself this year I am going to try not to slack off and continue to workout all winter. Usually I quit in the winter and start up again in the spring. I've been trying to go to the gym and run on a treadmill but…

Wedding Ring Storage While at the Gym?
Where do you put your wedding ring while you are at the gym? I usually just put mine in my coat pocket or gym bag pocket but tonight after going into a full on panic mode not being able to find it I'm thinking maybe there's a better place I could put it.

Why not reward yourself with food?
I always see people on here saying don't reward yourself with food you aren't a dog. Why not though? I find that when I set goals for myself about food instead of just letting myself have it whenever which I would be doing as the alternative it helps keep me motivated and keeps me from eating junk all the time. For…

How much does occasional alcohol hurt your diet?
I have been eating healthy, but this weekend I have a bachelorette party, and the following weekend the wedding. I still plan to watch what I eat every day, including those days. But, there is a good chance I will be drinking quite a bit over these two days. Will these two days make me gain weight even though I eat healthy…

Does anyone else not have a goal weight?
I just started not too long ago, but I am noticing almost everyone has a goal weight they are trying to reach. I do not. I have an idea of where I would like to be (somewhere between 130-150), but I do not know exactly what weight I want to be. The last time I weighed in that weight range was high school, I look back at…

2 lb per week weight loss
So, when I began I set MFP up to lose 2 lbs. per week, however, after reading previous forums it looks like 2 lbs. per week would be a 1,000 calorie deficit which I am not achieving. At the end of the day MFP shows I usually have a 500-800 calorie deficit. Why would this be when I set it up to lose 2 lbs. I thought the…

Cardio Lover Going to Attempt Strength Training
So, I love running. I run everyday. I know they say you are supposed to take rest days, but I just run slowly on my rest days and alternate other days between long and short runs so it still feels like I am getting a break but I am doing something to stay active. I was on a run yesterday and decided I should probably start…
