Round 2
Hi everyone. I'm back for round 2. I'm 36 and just recently moved to the Northwest. Five years ago I changed my eating habits and started walking and lost about 80 lbs in 7 months. Life hasn't been easy since then. I got married, two pregnancies, the loss of our son, my mother moving in with us due to a stroke (nearly…

I'm back
I've been gone awhile, and lots of things have happened. Unfortunately I have gained back all the weight I lost on my initial go with My Fitness Pal. Hoping I can get back on track and make this happen again.

I'm back, it's been awhile (pic included)
Last year I finally had the light bulb go off, the one that gave me all the motivation and commitment needed to start on my weight loss journey. I've battled with my weight most of my adult life, I'm an emotional eater without a doubt. Between January 16 (the day we tried on those bridesmaid dresses) and the beginning of…

Honest opinions needed
My sister is getting married next month. My boyfriend and I have talked and are ready for the next step, but we want to be respectful and not "steal her spotlight" and are not planning on becoming engaged until after her wedding, which she appreciates. However, she doesn't seem to like the fact that we still want to move…

5 1/2 months, about 65 lbs
Recently I've been lacking in the motivation department. I was cleaning up some photos, and came across this photo I had mashed up from all of my dress try-ons before having to reorder. The top left picture is the one that started it all, January 16th, shopping for bridesmaid dresses for my sisters wedding. I saw myself in…

Hating on dating
I've been single for the better part of my adult life, it's easy, and I know relationships can be great. Butterflies and excitement aside though, I hate dating. I hate the game of it Why is it so hard for open, honest and direct communication? Is it so hard to say I'm enjoying this or not? I'd like to continue seeing you…

When is too soon?
I'm fairly new to the whole dating thing, having been super focused on career and then being as big as I was, so I have not dated a whole heck of a lot over the last decade. When is too soon to "define" things or ask about dating other people? I don't want to be that girl trying to define things, but I don't want to date…

Asking a guy out
Been out of the dating game for a while... Guys, how do you feel about a woman asking you out? Do you like it, or do you prefer to do the asking? Wanting to ask someone out, but everyone is telling me to wait and let him ask.

Morning or evening workouts?
Preference aside, is it better to get your workout in the morning or evening? Or does it even matter?
-
Calories burned?
This might be a silly question. But I just joined a gym to start working on toning as I'm on this journey and I'm wondering how best to calculate calories burned while using weights/machines. Any tips or suggestions? If I'm going to try and be good and eat back my exercise calories, I need to know how much. I haven't been…

10 weeks, 35 lbs
When I first started 10 weeks ago, I could not have imagined being where I am today 35 lbs down. I am so excited to have made it this far and look forward to the future. The picture on the left (red) was taken 10 weeks ago while shopping for bridesmaid dresses for my sisters wedding. The picture on the left (blue) was last…
