Stomach...butt?
This is by far the most ridiculous thing I have posted, and I feel pretty silly doing so. But I have been looking online and I have NO idea what to actually call it so I am wondering if anyone has the same problem/knows/can help. My stomach fat is kind of...divided? When I was bigger it looked like a butt on my stomach…

Rate my diary, please!
So this is just out of curiousity; I know that everyone's opinion differs so I am just trying to see what others think. I have just been curious how other people view how I eat, overall. So if you are bored or are just willing to help take a look at my diary and tell me everything that you think-the good, the bad, the…

Men- this is why we hate you.
Ok so I am not being completely serious here people, no need to be offended. BUT. My boyfriend recently got an account here (mostly to maintain weight, but for the first week we had his settings the same as mine just out of curiousity) and all I can say is you guys SUCK! You get so many more cals to eat, and more cals for…

(if you feel that number is not a good one for you post what would challenge you and your body and list it) If you want to use weights, fell free. You can lower the number by 50…

Love PB?
This is pretty random, but I have been seeing people say they miss pb or cut it out altogether. Well not anymore, people!! Has anyone heard of powdered peanut butter? I tried some last week and it is amazing. The brand I bought was called Just Organic. When they go through the dehydrating process 85% of the fat is…

I hate the red!!
I am constantly struggling with the red. I know they are guidelines, but I hate when I go over in sodium or sugars. And I do take in account natural sugars, but still. GAR. It sucks trying to eat 1700 calories healthy and stay under- I am convinced it is darn near impossible unless you are just eating veggies and chicken.…

Bagel thins.
Do you like them? If so I have a secret for you...The same brand that makes them (Thomas) has the exact same thing for so much cheaper and so many more bagels! Look for the bag of mini bagels. The nutrition is all the same but you get 12 instead of 8 for less! Just thought I would share for those of you who don't know.…

Sedentary Debate
So the question has come up and though it really is not all that important I am not going to be able to let it go until I know for sure. Right now my activity level is set at sedentary. I am unemployed currently but I do go to clean the house and do little things like that everyday. I also workout 6 days a week for at…

Going to my head?
So, I will just be very blunt with what I am about to say as to avoid me rambling. (I tend to do that WAY too much so just take what I am saying with a grain of salt, if you will. Don't be too quick to judge! ;] ) My boyfriend hurt his back trying to squat more weight than he is used to, and we both knew he was pushing…

Callouses?
So I have been hitting the gym hard lately and I am developing callouses on my hands from the weight lifting machines. I am wondering if anyone else has this problem and what to do about it? Lotion?

ABL (Closed group!)
SO some of you voted and the verdict is no eliminations. So no eliminations it is! The biggest reason I wanted to do these is so everyone feels a bit of pressure to complete the challenges-so I hope that without them you all still try your best! Also, everyone is doing great! Keep up the good work. Just remember, on FRIDAY…

First run..
Went on my first "run" outside. It was very..interesting. First off let me say that I run on the treadmill at least once a week. However, about 6 times a week for at least 30 minutes I use the arc trainer. If you are unsure what this is it reminds me of an elliptical and a stairmaster in one- it definitely helped me run…

my first HRM
So, I caved. Bought it from Walmart. BUT I am 99% sure it basically sucks. During the 30 minute workout I did which included 10 minutes of stepping blocks and 10 different weight machines it said I burnt 25 calories...My cousin did the same workout and burnt 300+. I know everyone is different- but I am PRETTY sure it's…

Oatmeal sweat...
So I am not sure if I am imagining this or what- but when I eat maple oatmeal in the morning I swear my sweat at the gym (about 45 mins-2hours later) smells like it. Same with the strawberries and cream..Has anyone has anything like this or is it all in my head? hahah

Protein bar.
So I had a pretty long workout today- decided a protein bar was in order. Bought one with 32 grams of protein, 200 sodium, and 300 calories. All was fine and dandy but now my stomach is upset. Is this why? It is my first time really experimenting with them so I am thinking 32g was over the top?

Running marathons?
So may be a silly question-but I see so many postings about 5Ks and other running/walking marathons for different charities/benefits and whatnot and I am wondering if anyone could tell me HOW you find out about these? I live in WI and I want to do one eventually but don't know how to go about finding one...

Eye Opening...
I never knew that the combination of MFP, dieting, and working out could be so eye opening.I feel like along with the weight I am losing, I am gaining so much! I feel like I am finally overcoming the obsession with numbers on the scale or tape measure and realizing that no matter what I am bettering my body in the long…

(What I consider) a NSV.
I planned out my breakfast- oatmeal, a fiberone granola bar, and a yogurt. Well, I finished the oatmeal and bar and have no desire to eat my yogurt! Too full! AHH MY STOMACH IS SHRINKING! YESSSSSSSS. Finally, I don't need to eat all of the things! :D It's gonna be a good day.

Wedding NSV
So I was invited to a wedding for someone I don't know at all by one of my friends. Basically, her boyfriend is working and she has fell out of touch with the person getting married but she still wants to go...just no alone. I agreed to go and be her girl date (lol) but I was not excited. Well, that all changed about 5…

Sodium intake?
So, I usually go over in sodium. I know why, but there is not much I can do to change it. So I am just wondering...why is it that if I workout I get more allowance, but it does not change how much? I usually go over by anywhere from 10-2000. How terrible is this? I know it retains water but should I be more concerned? My…

NSV for me :D
AHH yay. My boyfriend said that I got pretty thin this morning after we woke up. & that most of my pudge is gone. (not his exact words but I am improvising). Basically, just a good morning with the babe compliments + losing a pound. Last weekend for 2 days I fell of the wagon and gained weight back so my goal was to be…

Am I the only one...
who loves the idea of being able to say, "I am going for a run" and have it be completely normal AND not a pain in the *kitten*? This is my biggest goal. More than any number...Just to be able to go for runs and not struggle so damn much. And be able to do it for a long period of time! Right now I can run probably...10-20…
