I'm stronger than my significant other
I found out this weekend that I am stronger than my fiance. In all fairness, he doesn't work out and I have been strength training and lifting heavy for over a year. He's definitely not a weakling and up until this weekend, I thought he was a lot stronger than I was and was quite shocked to find out that I had a slight…

Lifting Until Failure
I have always heard people talk about lifting until failure and I thought they were just not dedicated and weak minded. It was as simple as mind over matter and pulling from your inner strength to finish that last rep. Yeah. My apologizes to all that I thought that about. Turns out, once you are in failure, there isn't a…

Ravenous Days
I have a general question that I'm hoping someone can help me with. I work out 5 days a week, usually a half and half blend of cardio and heavy lifting. I am consuming roughly 2100-2400 calories a day (My TDEE is 3,080). My diet is lots of raw fruits and veggies with lean proteins such as chicken and fish.... although I do…

Walmart.com Fraud
Just wanted to give all of you a friendly little tip. If you have ever ordered anything from walmart.com and created an account, log into that account right now and delete the credit card number that they save. I wasn't aware that they saved each credit card you use to purchase items and I have become a victim of a hacker…

Fat people and Amusement Parks

We realized that we were out of things to look forward to that kept us motivated, so we planned a trip to Six Flags at the end of May. I am FREAKING out that I will get there, be super excited and get in one of the rides and…

So here's the deal. I do GREAT following my caloric intake for the week. But, I am your typical southern girl and LOVE me some football! Football means tailgating and tailgating means tons of delicious foods that would undo my weekly progress in one bite. I need help! I am looking for some healthy, lower calorie tailgating…

First 5K tomorrow. Any advice?
I am running my first ever 5K tomorrow. I know that I will be doing a combination of walking/running because of my asthma, but I am ok with that. So, any advice? Some people say to carb out tonight, others say it's not necessary since it's only a 5K. I have hydrated all week, so I don't think that will be an issue. Front…

Dumped
Last weekend was one of the best I ever had. I completed my first 5K, which was first on my bucket list. Today, I got dumped after being together for 4 years. Ouch. The old me would immediately go home, get in my sweats along with my old pals Ben and Jerry and eat myself into a coma. I will NOT do that this time. I have…

Hey Y'all!
I'm a 33 southern girl who is new to MFP, but definitely not new to the desire to lose weight. I recently got dumped and in doing some soul searching, found that my soul was buried under a couple of layers of cheeseburgers, oreos, tacos, etc. So, it's time to do something for myself and become happy with the person that I…
