Post-Binge Recovery Diary
Hi there, Just when I thought serious binging was a thing of my past, I have had a number of increasingly serious episodes in the past few weeks. Having revamped myself as a new person (lost 23 pounds, regular workout, pretty kick *kitten* if you ask me!), I am worried, disapppointed, confused, ..and scared. In the past…

Back to binging - why relapse now?
Hi there, I was bulimic (starvation, used laxatives) in my late teens and early 20s. Since then, binging has always been a problem. In the past 20 years, it had gotten less and less serious. The last 2.5 year has been a major turning point for me, having lost 23 pounds (I am 5'3", now 110.5) and becoming a genuine workout…

Considering selling TurboFire (almost new)
Hey all, I am not sure if I like Turbofire as much as I thought. Still prefer UGI ball and TRX and want to try out other programmes. Not urgent, just getting a feeler out there if anyone is interested. BUT, it is a heavy box and I am in Canada so please beware of the potential postage! Thanks Evelyn

40s - anyone else?
Hi there, I am 43 and will be 44 in July. I was told that I look more like a 30-something..but frankly many vibrant seniors put me to shame! That's why I am on myfitnesspal :) I had - and still have relatively speaking - a high metabolic rate. But since I turned 40, which was also when I gave birth to my second child,…

Creating a summary of best online calculators
Hi all, Lots of MFP threads on calculating BMR, BMI, TDEE, etc. I believe some number crunching is important in setting up a framework/plan, and I think instead of searching through long threads, many people here, especially new comers, will benefit from a list of reliable resources. So, I am creating a list - with your…
