Weight loss without working out due to medical reasons--anyone else?
Hi all! For medical reasons I cannot work out. Anyone else doing this on diet alone? Would love to meet some people in a similar boat. EDIT: I know how to work out, I know all about calorie deficits. I am looking for people who deal with physical limitations because weight loss is often more difficult when you also can't…

question about DVDs
Hi, all! I give up on the gym. It was amazing for the beginning year. I lost nearly 40 pounds, it was convenient, useful, and it pushed me. Sadly, with my new post-college lifestyle, it is no longer affordable nor have I been making the effort to go enough to make it useful. I've decided to actually take the plastic off of…

6-week start-up, help please?
I used to be active here a year or two ago. Since then I've lost all motivation and have gained half of what I lost back (went from miserable@175 to super toned and happy @134, then went back to around 150 and sad again). I want to jump-start getting back into it because of a certain event, and then I will ease up into…

NYT article on dangers of obesity during pregnancy
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/nyregion/06obese.html This is terrifying... I didn't realize how dangerous it was for the child. If I ever decide to have children, I will do my best to stay in top shape!

SUPERBOWL!
Going to a super high-calorie place. Am I worried? No. I'll eat beforehand, order something healthy to snack on, something small and unhealthy to indulge in, have ONE beer max, and probably not even that, and then enjoy myself!!!! You? Have fun, all!

Confession
I have not been to the gym for a month because I had frozen my membership. I tried to take walks/bike/swim and managed to lose a pound more, but my eating has been swinging around like crazy - for a few days I'll keep in line, and then I'll just explode. It doesn't help that I was on vacation to foreign countries with many…

How to improve your smile while not snacking!
1. Go to dentist 2. Be told by the oh-so-sarcastic and witty assistant (as opposed to the super hot one) that your teeth have moved out of alignment 3. Promise to wear your retainers that you've hidden for years after 6 miserable years with braces and retainers 4. Be told it probably won't fit anymore 5. Prove him wrong...…

Taking a break from MFP?
I feel like I'm slipping into a post-semester mini-depression (I tend to get these, like my brain just collapses after a stressful semester), and I feel like I'm spending too much time on MFP, stressing the lack of pounds I've dropped, flipping out over food etc. So to up/change the challenge, I'm changing my workouts, try…

Rather Pathetic, But...
Yesterday was the first time in years that I went into a dressing room and came out bursting with happiness... instead of storming out and bursting into tears. No exaggeration. I avoided changing rooms like the plague. I'm so freaking glad I decided I would actually DO something this past semester and not just WHINE.…

Fruit2Day - anyone had these yet?
This company's started marketing/giving coupons and free samples in gyms around Manhattan. They're perfect for me because a. they're free so far :wink: and b. it's a great pick me up after the gym especially as i have problems eating all of my exercise calories. When it's chilled with all those chunks of fruit floating in…

I need to stop fighting myself.
nevermiiiiiiind. i think i've got it. sorry for deleting the whole rant/confession i put up. summarized: essentially, i think i was slipping into starvation mode by having unrealistic expectations for summer weight loss, so now i'm overhauling my goals to something that i'm hoping is healthy: eating AT LEAST half of my…

FINALS - COLLEGE STUDENTS
So, finals are coming around, and there's a crapload of homework. My eating and exercise are tanking. I would write more... but gotta do a math project instead of going to the gym. Ugh. Anyone slipping with the stress?

NYSC
Anyone know of any kick-butt classes that NYSC offers? I'm looking at spinning (eek!) - other top-notch calorie burners? I've been slacking like crazy. Been essentially at the same weight for a whole month. And the VS semi-annual sale is here and I still don't look good in a bikini :sad:

Taught Me A Lesson
I've been feeling down about straying away from my goals. I've been really good with exercise , but really bad with food. So, in the back of my closet I found a pair of dark red pants I could fit in... two, three years ago? Size seven. No way I'd be able squeeze a thigh in there! Decided to teach myself a lesson about…

Any Kind of Newsletter?
Oh, I'm a sucker for these. I've done newsletters before for other sites, and they're such fun, ESPECIALLY when everyone participates/signs up/motivates. I'm not asking for something big, but what if every two weeks or so, there was a short, fun newsletter that had a few tips, a recipe or fun snack, and some kind of…

From Overweight to Normal BMI
24 days and 9 pounds later, I lost that last pound that moved my BMI from overweight to healthy. That's one new liquid eyeliner for me! Thank you so much for all the support, guys!!! :flowerforyou:

Blog Buddies, Please?
I'm asking around because I find that reading/writing/commenting on blogs doesn't take too long, but it helps. When I blog about a bad day and my blogging buddies drop me a pat on the head, advice, and a kick in the butt, it really helps. I also love to read and give advice/support/etc. on other blogs. I also finally…

After a large workout
I got out of work early today, and was able to spend a fun, pumped two hours at the gym and burned 1k calories, which is what I try to aim for when I have the time to spare. However, I was STARVING when I got out, and I rarely am EVER that hungry, even after such a satisfying workout. It caught me so off guard that after…
