HELP! How do you avoid binges?
When when food is not in front of me or I have to make an effort to get it, it's no problem. But if I'm, say, at a party and the chips and dip and candy and greasy foods are out, I have so much trouble saying no! I've tried some things, such as eating beforehand or chewing gum. What keeps you from binging when the food is…

Getting in the Summer Mindset
A little background on me: I'm a student at a university where we have an internship built in/required for graduation. I am finishing up my 6-month internship and returning home for summer break in two weeks. I've carefully built up an eating regiment for my weeks and tend to be a little lax on weekends. However, for the…

I hurt my leg - HELP!
About a month ago I competed in a scavenger hunt around the city for 4 hours. I was just starting to get into shape (about 3-4 weeks into C25k).

NSV - C25k W5D3!

I'm proud of how far I've come and I'm thankful for my friends/family both on here and IRL for supporting me so selflessly. That being said,…

My first NSV!
It's been a little over a month since I started seriously using MFP. I'm on an internship at a financial firm, and the dress code is "business professional." I have a pair of grey pants that despite being the same size as all my other pants, were definitely made a little tighter - I call them my skinny work pants. I always…

Going to an MLB game, what should I eat?
I have tickets to the Red Sox game tonight and am leaving to go straight from work (I won't have time to prepare myself a meal). My goal is 1800 cals a day, and according to my input of what I'm eating today during the day I have 972 calories open for gametime eats. There is a Subway on my way, so my first thought is to…
