Depression Relief
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong area... I have suffered with depression for most of my life, but the last few years it has gotten incredibly worse. I am in a good place financially and I have done a lot of things that I am incredibly proud of, but I can't get past the feeling of hopelessness in my life. I feel like I…

Needing new friends!

I just deleted 20 people and am looking for NEW friends on this journey! A little about me: I'm 26. A mom of 1 (little girl, almost 3…

c25k and GAINING weight? WTF
I'm running 3x per week doing C25K training but I've gained 5 pounds since I started 3 weeks ago. I'm 230-something, 5'5" and 24 years old. I'm eating 1800 calories per day. Started off eating back my running calories, then stopped doing that. Didn't make a difference. I feel STARVED if I eat less than that. Plus I'm…

Preggers misses exercise
I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant and I'm not allowed to run, jump, lift 25+ lbs or do abdomen exercises.... :grumble: But I feel like a big 'ol tub of baby jelly. What kind of small, easy exercises can I do to help keep my muscle mass and stay healthy during the last trimester? I currently walk as much as I can (a couple…

I had my first cup of coffee in over a week today and I feel SO much better!!!! How can I give up coffee and not get constipated?? I try to eat plenty of fiber but it's really not…

Pregnant and Sick - When should I see a doc?
I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I've have a really bad cold for the last few days. My thermometer ran out of batteries so I don't know if I have a fever but I'm dry coughing really hard and it's causing really bad pain in my chest, dizziness and shortness of breath. I don't know if this is normal, I haven't been sick like this in…

When will my tummy shrink with my legs???
I've been on MFP since October and been going up and down. Starting in January I got serious about my weight loss. I'm down 14 lbs so far and I have noticed it a lot in my legs! They're a lot slimmer and I'm loving that, BUT my stomach is not following along! I'm definitely pear shaped and it sucks! I want to get new pants…

Exercise Modifications
I would like to continue the 30 Day Shred, but I quit as soon as I found out I'm pregnant because I'm worried about what it could do to the baby. I'm 5 weeks along as of today. What kind of modification do you do to your workouts when you're pregnant? Has anyone tried 30 DS and know of specific modifications I could do? I…

Pit Bull <3er's
I have a 4 year old pit bull (re)named Diesel. My ex found him on the side of the road with a letter in his collar that said "Hi, my name is Greg and I need a good home". Later I found out that it was a friend of a friend of a friend that dropped him off because they were losing their house. (I have NO sympathy here, we…

What do you do?
We all look sexy when we go out at night, but what do you do to make yourself look and feel hot in your day to day life? Grocery shopping, running errands, work, etc. We all gotta look hot, right? :glasses:

Wanted: New Boyfriend
So I'm sick of lazy *kitten* guys who want to do nothing but play video games an watch tv. I don't ALWAYS want to be out but I'm tired of sitting on the couch all night and being unhappy. We're all here for the basically the same reason. We want to get healthy. So come on boys, lets get healthy together.

15 lbs DOES make a difference! (pics)
I was feeling really discouraged about my weight loss because I worked so hard to lose 15 lbs but I wasn't SEEING any results! I focus on my stomach the most, because that's what I want to lose more than anything. It wasn't until I hung my 2012 Easter bunny picture up next my 2011 Thanksgiving picture that I actually SAW a…

HCG - Thoughts?
My boss, sister and sister-in-law are all on HCG and losing about a pound or two a day (they they stick with the plan), but I know eating 500-700 calories a day is HORRIBLE! I want your thoughts and opinions about this diet "craze". Is it safe? Healthy? Success or horror stories? THANKS!

Gall Stones
I've had some pretty awful gall stones for a few years now. I have been told that they are, in part, because of my weight but I have realized that the healthier I eat, the worse they are!!!!! Why is this? I thought a healthy diet would slow the creation of the stones, not make them worse :cry: Does anyone else have this…

Free Weights vs Weight Machines
Does it matter? At my gym, all the big, buff men are always on the free weights and using the bench and other things. I always use the smaller machines (that do the same thing) but are less crowded. I don't feel comfortable working out around those guys (YET!) but I don't want to hinder my workout. Does it matter which one…

Pole Dancing
Anyone doing this for exercise? Classes just opened up in my area and I'm REALLY excited to start!! (Starting March 5th, after I get back into my routine since vacation and I get rid of this awful cold) I have done strip tease for fitness before, but this looks a little harder with the pole and all. How was your experience…

Question for MEN (stretch marks)
What do men think when you're getting naked with a woman and she has stretch marks? Whether she is a "big" girl now, after losing a lot of weight, or after having a baby we still have stretch marks that NEVER go away! When it's your own wife, I'm sure it's different because you love them. But what if it's a girl friend or…

Which number is correct???? Help!
I know mornings are the best time to weigh in, but I workout after work (around 5:30pm) and it's the only place with a good scale. Well YESTERDAY, I weighed in at 225.5 and today it was 224. I ate roughly the same amount of food, drank the same amount of water but today I ate a little closer to the time of the gym, and I…

Trying again. Tired of yo-yo-ing.
Hello everyone! I'm Randi, I'm 22 and I'm tired of "dieting" for a few days then eating a medium pizza. Pizza is my weakness, along with mocha's. I'm trying to walk daily at work. Today I'm trying a fitness DVD for the first time (I bought it 3 years ago). I was VERY skinny in high school and very athletic, then my…
