Help picking a spin bike.
I live in a small town and spin classes are not offered as frequently as I am used to since I moved here. I am thinking about purchasing my own spin bike so that I am able to spin as much as I want to since it is "my exercise" that keeps me motivated. I don't know all that much about actually purchasing a spin bike. Which…

My MFP anniversary! 60lb gone (pics)
I used to play softball in college. I was pretty thin. Then I stopped playing softball and kept eating the same amount as I was when I was playing double headers twice in a weekend and training for hours every day. I fell into one of those downward spirals. It wasn't pretty. Here I am with my sister. It just kept getting…

Camelback Straw
I love my camelback water bottle but I have a real problem with the straw getting dirty. Does anyone else have this problem too? Is there any way to stop this? All I drink out of the bottle is water so I don't understand why the top piece gets so dirty all of the time. On a related note, does anyone have an easy way to…

My "Halfway There" Pictures
I have been working really hard at this and I finally have hit that glorious "halfway there" goal. I decided that I would share my successes here on the forums to maybe give myself that extra boost I need to get over this hump and soar the rest of the way to my goal. Here are some before pictures. (I'm on the right.) And…

Supermoon!
An extreme supermoon -- when a full (or new) moon comes abnormally close to the planet Earth -- will occur tonight, on Saturday March 19, 2011. The full moon hasn't come this close in 18 years. Enjoy! It's going to be gorgeous! If you're on the east coast go look up at the sky at 7:43 and it will be the largest! :) I know…

Sugar Stacks
A label can tell you there are 39 grams of sugar in your soda, but what does that much sugar look like? This website shows you in photos of sugar cubes just how much sugar is in all types of foods and drinks. It is very interesting to actually see it illustrated. Take a look! You might think twice before you reach inside…

Target Heart Rate Question
I just wanted to get your opinions since I know that a lot of people here work out and are quite knowledgeable on topics of this nature. Here is my situation. I am a 26 year old ex college athlete who is REALLY out of shape, quite overweight, and has pretty bad asthma. I also have a lingering ankle injury which limits me.…

First Goal Reached. (Yes, there are pictures.)
There is more at my blog if you are so inclined. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/caitysparkles It has been exactly one month since I started "PROJECT HEALTHY CAITY." I stepped on the scale today and had lost almost 10kg. Over 21 pounds. I was really discouraged because I didn't see it in the mirror and was still feeling…

Having Trouble Eating Calories
I am currently in a situation I've never been in before. I can't eat all my calories. That's right, folks. I can't even eat 1200 calories a day. I'm usually an emotional eater but I have recently gone through a very traumatic and different experience in my life and I'm just too stressed and upset to eat. I am also on a…

Looking for some support (and willing to give it)!
Hello everyone. I'm Caity. I'm 26 and I just moved across the world from New York to New Zealand with my husband. I am having a very hard time adjusting and I'm feeling very alone.

Weight just a minute... :P
Hello there. I'm Caity! I live in a little studio apartment in Long Island, New York with my husband, Josh, and my cat, Moko. Josh is from New Zealand. I'm from my own little world. We're moving back to New Zealand soon. Exciting, huh? I've gained a bit of weight in the past few years after I stopped playing softball full…
