Zoloft Weight Gain?
Anyone take Zoloft? Anyone gain weight from it? Other side affects. Starting it today and hoping this doesn't make my weight loss any harder than it has become for me! ANY information would help! THANKS!

Fitbit? Body Media? Garmin?
I have used a Polar and the Nike Fuel Band. I am looking for something that monitors my calories burned and maybe my runs. Anyone have something they LOVE?

Feel like I am starting over...
Hi! This is my third year on MFP, and I have lost a lot of weight. However, after the holidays (I like to call it the Halloween to New Years "diet") I feel like I am starting over. Mind you I am no where near where I was 5/31/10 but I just feel gross. I haven't logged in forever, and that is proving to be a challenge. I…

NIke Fuel Band
I just wanted to know if anyone uses it? I got one for my birthday and I LOVE how it is keeping me motivated to move and reach my goal. I am very goal driven (the short goals are usually the ones that drive me). It pushed me to run a little longer today and keep moving. Does anyone out there have it? Tips? Uses? What do…

5 Foot 4 Women?
If so what is your goal weight? Body type? I am embarking on year three of weight loss/healthy living. I have gotten as low as 144 (wearing a size 4/6) but my body is now floating around 150. I wear a size 6 or on a PMS day an 8. I am focusing more on toning this year and trying not to worry too much on the scale. I was…

TAKE YOUR MEASUREMENTS!
I was never a big measurement taker. I figured the scale will tell me how I'm doing, and as much as I hate it a lot and curse it almost daily, it is what I lived by. This past October, I decided to do a weekly "Measure in". I wasn't very good at maintaining weekly, but I got my measurements in usually twice a month. I just…

No loss, then daily loss?
I have been sitting around at this weight for some time. Few pounds off, then back on... Bad cycle. Then for lent I gave up sweets and decided to add circuit training to my daily cardio workout. Well up until last week not much of a change.... Bit now I a,m losing almost everyday! I do not want to jinx myself but I can't…

ARMS SOS!
So I added circuit training to my workout. I am excitied to say my weight is going down! I feel better and it has only been three weeks. Here is the problem. I have what I like to call "skinny girl thighs" for my arms. And now I feel like instead of getting smaller they look even bigger. I have been doing the life circuit…

Herbalife?
Anyone ever do it? Results? I am on day three and I have to say I am very full. BUT I am doing it more for the protein and only one shake a day. I am taking the cell actiivator as well as the Psuo-duo thing ( I don't remember what it was called). I don't want to get on the scale yet, I really want to give it a full week.…

Half Marathons in 2012
I am signed up for my second half in January and third in May (Disney and Long Island). Thinking of doing one in October too. How many "bigger" races do you do in one year? Wondering if three is too much? Hoping to do at least 5 5k's next year... Anyone else addicted to racing?

Day One All Over Again
So I lost my motivation after my knee surgery in June and gained back 15 pounds. Well today is day one. I am back. I ate great and worked out. I am really trying to go back to basics. Took out some old recipes that I used last year and drank water. Skipped the candy and had a coffee as my sweet treat. I am so disappointed…

13.1 joggers?
So like many of you here, exercise hasn't always been on my priority list... Learning to love an exercise was a huge accomplished for me. The first time I crossed the finish line for my first 5k I cried. In may I completed my first half marathon! This is a very a big accomplishment and something I am beyond proud of. My…

the Center for weight loss and fitness
So today I am going to the Center for Medical Weight Loss. I am getting a weight-loss consultation with a body0composition analysis, a vitamin B12 injection and a fat-burning injection. GOD only knows why I bought this groupon. I am most anxious to see what the fancy scale will say. It breaks down your body by fat, muscle,…

How Often?
Do you take your measurements. Being full on marathon (or half) training, I am trying to not focus on the scale and focus more on how my clothes feel and my measurements. BUT I am not sure how often to take measurements. Thanks!

Running sneakers
so I have been running in Brooks for the past year. A few times (including a half marathon, a 5k and treadmill running) my foot (or feet) have become tingly and felt numb. I think it might be time for a change. Ayone ever experience this? If so do you have any sneaker recommendations? I have another 5k Sunday and I also…

Fall brings back so much...
Even the smell of it can bring back memories. I remember when I first moved to Baltimore in 2003, recently divorced and starting life again, alone, for the first time since I was 17! I remember dreading Sundays. I was away from my family and all my close friends had families of their own. Sundays became the worst day of…

LOOKING for serious support.
So I have been on MFP since May 2010. I did great. I was down over 40 pounds, felt awesome, and looked good too. I had knee surgery in June and I am now officially up 15 pounds from my lowest weight. I joined the gym and have managed to not gain anymore. My workouts are not the issue. Its the food. I LOVE FOOD. I mean…

Up, up up
So I am up! VERY UP! I had knee surgery in June and went on three vacations. I know that is an excuse, and excuses get you know where...but I am so upset, and I am trying to rationalize my ten pound weight gain this summer. I am really trying to focus on my running right now (The Baltimore Relay is 7 weeks away) and no be…

Meniscus Repair: How do I walk again?
I haven't been allowed to walk "normally" for three weeks. Today in a small attempt to walk like a human being I just can't. I am so stiff and I know it is because I haven't walked normally for three week. Any advice? Tips? Tricks? My leg is so SO SO tight from all this non-weight bearing, keeping it straight. I don't see…

What would I do without you?/ Knee surgery questions/
I have had a rough two weeks since my knee surgery. Sitting around all the time, not being to exercise has been killing me. BUT the support and love I have been given on MFP is getting me by. I know that if I didn't have this site, I would be eating and seriously down. I am happy to report that even though my only exercise…

361 Days Later..
So what can I say...MFP has changed me...I am not a dieter, I just eat healthy. I am not exercising because I have to, I am a runner because I LOVE TOO! This week will mark my 1 year anniversary on MFP. I have met incredible people, who have changed me from a couch loving, cooking baking mother, to this strong confident…

Surgery Recovery?
OK, so I am having the cartilage under my knee "repaired" on June 8th. I am hearing SUCH mixed reviews on recovery...my ortho says one thing, my SIL (who is a PT) says another. I have heard I will be back jogging again 6-8 weeks post op. I have heard 10 weeks, I have heard 6 months! Please, anyone have any knee procedures…

Clicking in my foot?
I know you are all going to tell. me to go the dr, but I just want to know if anyone else ever experienced a clicking in the outter part of their foot after running? I am already having knee surgery and I fear something is wrong with my feet too! SOS!

Still Tearing Up....
So I ran my first half marathon on Sunday. This is an accomplishment that a year ago at this time I would have NEVER believed possible. I was about 30 pounds over weight (on a good day) eating very poorly, and tightly sqeezing into size 12s. Today, I am a different person. Still a wife, a mother, a teacher...but I am a…

Hard on myself!
Background on me: A year ago I weighed 30 pounds more than I do now and I hadn't exercised in about 5 years! Sunday I ran my first half marathon! Me! Before the race, my only goal was to finish. During the race, I kept thinking maybe I can finish in three hours. I wound up finishing in 2:49:27...At first I was estatic.…
