What did you do with your too-worn-to-donate clothes?
I have a number of things that aren’t in good enough condition to donate, and I hate sending things to the landfill. Anybody sew/craft and have ideas for old clothes ? (Denim, jersey, cotton-blend knits)

How to track weight lifting?
I don’t love MFP for this and am looking for an alternative. Or do you just get used to it eventually?

Help on where to buy a suit at my size
I need a nice suit for an important interview and at a 14/16 I'm having trouble finding much in regular stores. Plus sizes are too big though. Any suggestions on where to shop? Sorry for the slightly off topic post but I'm having trouble and thought I might find some good advice from people who have been through it. Thanks…

Little victories
I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of eating while on vacation visiting family. This is huge for me and I want to record some things I can come back to. I have to eat at maintenance for sure - limiting in this circumstance just sets me up for feeling like I can't do anything right (and it's only a little step…

Advice for family gatherings?
I just returned from a week visiting family, and once again "fell off the wagon" during my time with them. Mindless eating makes for tough logging. And we visit together by sitting around a table laden with tea and cookies/cakes/crackers/ etc, and chatting. For hours. With food constantly replenished. We go out for meals,…

Wanted: female friends who lift!
Inspired by the results I've seen on the women's lifting threads, I've finally decided to conquer my fear of the weight room and start weight lifting! I'm looking for friends with similar goals for accountability and support. I would also love to connect with women who are finding success with lifting! (Couldn't find any…

Sane weight loss
Hello, repeat offender here. I lost weight with MFP, gained it back over a stressful period, and am gearing up to re-start those healthy habits now that things are more stable again. I'm not starting anything extreme - no paleo diet, cleanses, Insanity workouts, etc. - just increasing activity and decreasing calories (and…

Physical Fitness
So I'm starting a new thread because I see there are several of us with similar goals still here. What is everybody doing to prep for the physical fitness training? I talked to a recruiter and was told that to get in you just have to meet the height/weight requirement, but I want to be strong enough to lead the pack at…

still active?
Hello all - Just checking to see if this group is still going, as there wasn't much activity on the discussion boards. I am thinking of joining the USAF to help pay for school, but need to lose maybe 25 lbs or so to join (still working out the details). It would be great to hear from anyone still around in the group with…

Eating for a 12-hr shift?
Ok, does anyone else work in healthcare (or somewhere else that requires you to work 12-1/2 hour shifts, on your feet running all day)? I started working in a hospital 3 months ago and I have GAINED 10 LBS SINCE! I eat 5 meals a day (6 am, 9 am, 1 pm, 4 pm, and 8 pm usually) because I get so hungry from the work, but…

Logging Homemade Food?
Hello all, I'd like to ask for some advice. With the onset of cooler weather, I've been doing a lot of "fall cleaning out" cooking. This means that a lot of what I make is using up the last of the summer vegetables and extras from other recipes like beans, rice, quinoa, etc. But I'm not really using recipes, just kind of…

Wow! Tracking sugar
I just realized that MFP lets you track sugars in addition to total carbs. The suggested amount of added sugar for women daily is 22 grams, so I set that as a goal and am tracking it.... and I'm already at almost three times that today! Granted, much of that was natural sugar from fruit. But wow. Anybody else have a…

New and looking for accountability
Hi MFP! I've heard really good things about this site. I was just going through the forums and everyone seems so nice and supportive! Really hoping that this will be that time that I make up my mind that enough is enough and keep off some weight. My total goal is 50 lbs down, but I'll settle for 25 to begin with. Does…
