Can we please ban...
... EVERYBODY? Seriously, think about it. If there was no one on MFP, then no one would ever be offended by any content here ever again. Problem solved, amirite? So I think that we should ban fat people, skinny people, and everyone in between, as well as people who "bump" and people who never post, people with no profile…

Bloating
I often notice that after a meal – even a small or normal-sized meal – I am really, really bloated. Of course, when I complain about needing to unbutton my jeans after a 500-calorie dinner, no one believes me (which is understandable). So here is the hard evidence. Before dinner, my waist was 24.5 inches and my lower…

A rant about calories and weight loss and all that jazz.
WARNING: Lots of woe-is-me to follow. Read at your own risk. "Eat more to lose weight!" I know. And believe me, I wish I could. But my BMR is somewhere between 1205 and 1280 (first from Katch-McArdle, second from MFP), and my net calories for maintenance are only 1580 (according to MFP; more generous calculators have…

Restaurants to Enjoy!
I was just looking through the "Restaurants to Avoid!" topic, and I thought: you know what we need? A list of "Restaurants to Enjoy!" (Apologies if this has been created before.) I don't eat out much, but my favorite restaurant of all time would probably be Pizzicato (I think they only operate in Portland, OR).…

New ways to exercise with a useless right leg
Sooo, because I'm an incredibly responsible person, I continued to run with a pulled muscle (right inner thigh) and an injured right foot for a couple of days. Then, last night, I discovered that I could no longer climb stairs... or walk... so no more running for me, for a while, at least. However, I can't afford to…

I need help.
I've attempted to write this about six times already, so this time, I'm actually going to do it. Apologies if it's too long. The basic information that everybody always wants to know: I am female, 17 years old, 5'3, and 106(ish) pounds. Oh, and I am a recovered anorexic. Actually, you may need the backstory. I developed…
