Should I offer weight advice to someone I haven't seen in 10
In 8th grade I had to switch schools. The only person I knew was the most popular girl in that class and we only knew each other through our dads. She made a point to invite me to sit with her and her friends at lunch, invited me to social things, and tried to help me fit in. Because I didn't like my body image and hated…

For those of you who are bingers
I've binged since I was twelve. At the beginning of my weight loss journey I was up to bingeing twice a week. I would literally eat until I threw up and then hide the wrappers in my neighbors trash bin. If there was any food left over from what I bought I would sometimes binge again. It started way before I had issues as a…

Help with shoulders.
I do bodypump two times a week and weights on my own once a week. I've gone up at least 20 lbs lifted in each muscular group from where I started EXCEPT for shoulders where I've only gone up about 5 lbs. It's not a big muscle group so I don't expect much from it but even that 5 lbs is really really pushing it. Is it normal…

Help with shoulders
I do bodypump two times a week and weights on my own once a week. I've gone up at least 20 lbs lifted in each muscular group from where I started EXCEPT for shoulders where I've only gone up about 5 lbs. Is it normal for this section to progress so slowly? It's been about 7 months since I started lifting 3 times a week.

An oz for each lb you weigh
One of my turbokick instructors told us you should drink your weight in water oz plus 8 oz for every 30 min of elevated heart rate. I thought it was a great idea. I already drink more than this but so many people say "8 cups a day" and that just doesn't seem like it should be enough for anyone.

Don't feel like eating over 3000 calories.
With my exercise today MFP says I need to eat over 3000 calories. I really really don't want to do that but I don't want to eat too few calories either. Would staying at around 1700 calories actually be that bad for me? That's my BMR -1000...

How has your personality changed?
A friend was talking to me about how I was when she first met me, which was at my heaviest of 305 lbs. In the last year I've lost 95 lbs and she said it seemed like there was something different about me with each pound. I went from someone who was always sad and shy and let people walk all over me to someone who's always…

Budget tips for those of you wanting to go homeopathic
I made this list for a friend who came home feeling scammed by her doctor. #1- Call your insurance company to get a preferred provider. You usually get your visit at a cheaper cost and the doctor will sometimes give you deals on the suppliments so you give them a good review and your insurance company sends them more…

Being rude isn't helping anyone.
Everyone to the boards should be welcome to their own opinion. Unless they are doing something to hurt themselves, there is no reason to make rude comments about their methods. If you disagree with a method it's ok to say it, but watch how you say it. There are things that work for me that others would believe were pish…
