Does anyone want to start Insanity today??
I'm going to miss most of the last two weeks of the workout class that I go to over my lunch breaks, so I decided I'm going to start Insanity again tonight. I did it once last year and had great results, but I tend to do MUCH better if I have a buddy that I am accountable to....it's much harder to skip or cheat if you know…

Hoping to find a DAILY check in/accountability buddy!!
Hi everyone!! I've been on here for a while and in the past have been able to get a good start on my weight loss/healthy lifestyle goals, but always seem to fall off the wagon for one reason or another, and I end up not logging my food or even logging in to MFP at all. So, for that reason, I am looking for someone (or a…

Bright red face!!
Does anyone else's face turn BRIGHT red when they work out -- particularly cardio?? Mine has always done this, for my entire life, and it stays red for hours after my workout is done. I've always been overweight, so I will be curious to see if it gets any better as I lose weight, but I'm also just wondering if it happens…

What do I do with an Eggplant??
So....I got a wild hair to buy an eggplant at the farmers market this weekend (it was SUCH a gorgeous color purple, I had to have it!) but now I have no idea what to do with it!! Any reccommendations? Anything fairly easy would be best....I'm "kitchen-challenged"! Thanks!!

Vitamins??
Does anyone have any input on the use of vitamins to aid in weightloss? There have been a lot of studies done recently, and I know everyone is different, no one thing works the same for everyone, and there is NO magic pill that will make the weight disappear. That's not what I am after -- I'm just wondering if anyone has…

My 10% NSV!!
Hi...I think this is my first "NSV" post, but I'm pretty excited about it. To start with, I'll explain that whenever I'm doing something that is difficult or challenging (or that I just don't want to do), it makes it easier in my head to break it down into percentages. For example when I'm on the treadmill or the bike, it…

Help me figure my calories -- PLEASE?!
Okay...so I'm confused because I keep seeing different things on here. I am 5'5, 205lbs, and I want to lose 50-60 pounds. For now, I am staying between 1200-1400 calories. Here's my question: do I eat back my exercise calories or not?? Some people say yes, and others say no, so I don't know if I'll get a straight answer or…

C25K question
I'm going to start the C25K program tonight, and I'm curious if it's effective for weight loss? I know it is a form of interval training with the walk/jog routine, but it seems like it encourages you to go pretty slowly during the jog times. So, I'm just wondering what people's experiences have been with it as far as…

I suck....just need to vent.
Okay, so the long and short of it is this: I quit smoking just over a month ago. I haven't had a single cigarette or even a drag off one since then. The first week without a cigarette, I told myself I could give into any food craving I wanted -- while using common sense -- because I knew trying to resist food AND cigarette…

New to MFP...need some friends!!
Hi everyone. I'm Lisa, and I just recently (a week or two ago) signed up for MFP. I have basically the same story as lots of you, but it started a little differently than some. When I was about 2 years old, my I started gaining weight really quickly, and my parents took me to a half a dozen different doctors. I finally…
