Where are the bridesmaids?
My best friend is having a wedding (vow renewal) the week of my birthday this year, which is the first week of June. I am one of two maids of honor and I would really, really like to look great in my dress before that time frame. I'm 5'4" and currently at about 200lbs, I've ordered pre-prepped meals from a health…

5'4" 60lbs to lose in OK
Hello, I was addicted to working out for about 6 months last year, then moving and stress got in the way and I've lost muscle and gained a lot of weight... looking to make some friends with similar paths to me. I'm 5'4" and around 195-199lbs. I have about 60lbs to lose, and need to get myself motivated to go to the gym…

One Month Progress, why you REALLY should take progress pictures.
So I don't weigh myself, usually as I find it discouraging, however I did this morning after breakfast and I'm about the same weight I was when I started this last month. I think I'm 1.7lbs lighter or something like that. I wanted to be able to tell anyone who asked how much I had lost. It's a somewhat paltry number, but I…

Another Beginner, Lifting, while losing?
I'm confused about how to format my meals. I don't have a problem keeping in a certain calorie range, but as I'm beginning to work with weights (I'm just starting free weights, and supplementing with machines while I work up my courage.) I'm concerned that I am not eating enough calories to make up for the exercise. I try…

Costume Ideas?
Just wondering if anyone else was constantly changing their minds about what to be this year. I was debating the yellow power ranger, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to do the jump suit yet. Thought it might be a fun thread that people could post costumes that they might consider. Might give the rest of us some ideas. :)

Body types, and drinking question.
I've been doing some research on different body types, etc, trying to figure out mine. From my measurements I'm a straight body type, but from weight gain I'm more of an apple? I know I'm not an apple, my hips have always been my biggest measurement. I gained most of my weight in my stomach area. I'm wondering if that was…

Fitness for Mental Health.. Need Friends.
Hello, I live quite the sedentary lifestyle right now, but worse I have been struggling with my mental health. I've been told for way too many years that exercise will vastly improve my mental health. I'm about to start an anti-psychotic regimen that's most likely going to cause my weight loss to stall out or worse. I've…

Re-introducing myself.
I'm Kristen, and last year I was dieting, and losing weight through MFP. I started at 175, and lost ten pounds in just under two months. I was really proud of myself, and my husband was encouraging me. And then he died. I lost all motivation to do anything. In the first month after his passing I couldn't eat at all. I…

Jumping Back into Weight loss!
I'm Kristen, I signed up a while back, and just never go into using a calorie counter, I exercised for a while, got busy and gave in. I'm now so unhappy with my weight that I've decided to buckle down and try to get decently fit by my birthday in June. I'm currently around 165lbs. (I'm unsure because I don't own a scale,…

Hello!
I'm new, just trying to motivate myself to lose some extra weight, and get back into my prime condition. I'm tired of having a bit of extra weight, and I feel like I should motivate myself now before my metabolism slows down even more. I've tried in the past to cut out some calories and go to the gym, but I always seem to…
