Burning Man 2014?
Hola, I was just curious if there are other burners on here going this year? If so, are you on here specifically to lose weight for BM? How many years have you gone? So far I'm going with my husband, and three others in the preliminary stages of planning. We're probably not going to be joining one of the big camps but…

Makeup and Exercise at work
I walk pretty aggressively during lunch at work here in Southern California and I tend to work up a decent sweat especially during summer. My problem is that I work in an office and need to look professional and don't want to take off and redo makeup during lunch to go for my walks. Currently, I've been cheating and just…

Burning Man?
Hello, I'm not exactly new to MFP but I've lost and gained the same 10 lbs multiple times here and I'm determined that this time will be different. I want to weight 20 lbs less than I do today in time for Burning Man. I don't want to run around the Playa feeling fat and self-conscious. I've got about 4 months to lose 20…

Mathematics and Science....a general rant/advice/whatever
Hello fellow MFPers, Just a little preface: I am a female engineer who graduated two years ago with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and I wanted to share a little something about how I got to this point.

I gave myself one hour to digest all those excess calories and changed into my gym clothes during commercials. I then went to the…

Fell off the horse and the wagon
I was here last year and doing pretty good with my weight loss until I literally fell off a horse. I was taking English lessons and while cantering one day the horse went one way and I went down. I hit the sawdust mostly on my chest and chin and tore cartilage on my sternum. So long story short, I was in a lot of pain for…

Woohoo 5 down!
Got on the scale this morning and I'm down 5 pounds in 3 weeks. From previous experience I know this rate won't last but it still feels pretty damn good already. I have more energy, I'm sleeping better, and I'm starting to see a good curve back at my waist.

Ah! Potlucks at work!
So apparently potluck season is upon us at work. In the break room there's two boxes of Kripy Kreme, a plate of orange sugar cookies, and a whole berry pie. We're not even to lunch yet and I just want to go in and gobble it down. I know about the whole, "nothing tastes as good as thin feels," but how do you guys resist…

Newbie to fitnesspal
Hello, I'm new to fitnesspal but certainly not new to trying to lose some weight. I've lost 10 pounds from my heaviest but I need a more structured method of losing the rest of it. I want to get through the holidays without gaining weight and exercising more so I'm ready to tackle the challenges I know are coming. Being…
