Back Again!
Hey y'all! I'm back on this again after a year and I need some major motivation. I'm struggling with staying focused but I really need to get fit and healthy. It's my last semester of college and I'd love to finish strong. I'm working on becoming a runner. It's a slow process, but I'm enjoying it so far. If you have any…

completely stuck
i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. i work out for 30 minutes a day and i eat my calorie goal for the day. i am not loosing weight and it is completely disheartening. it's been about a month now, so i know it's not just my body getting used to something. any ideas of how to get out of this funk?

Easy way to drink water:
For me, i have a HUGE water bottle. it's one of those big sports bottle ones that you can get at a college bookstore. mine is 32oz. it is so much easier to drink two of those in one day than to drink eight 8oz glasses. i have a straw in mine and i just mindlessly drink it during class. sure, i have to pee after that class,…

Halfway! (pictures included)
I wanted to upload these because I needed to give myself some motivation. I haven't been as focused lately and looking at these pictures makes me want to make it to my goal weight. The best part of this journey so far is that I no longer feel like the fat chick with all my friends. I feel pretty comfortable in my own skin…

small success (:
I completed my first 5K with my friend at a local 5K on campus. She used to run in high school (i'm a horrible runner) and we actually finished together. We finished at 39 minutes and 36 seconds. I know that's kinda high, but I was proud. I kept thinking that normal running is doing a mile in 10 minutes... so we were only…

working out everyday
Is it a bad idea to not take a day of rest. I really like waking up and working out and I feel so tired all day if I don't work out now. (hooray for that! haha) but i've heard that you have to take a day of rest. i feel like if i take a day of rest, it'll throw me off and i won't stay on track. just wanted to know what i…

black bean burgers... watch out!
so i'm on vacation with my family right now. it's the hardest thing to eat healthy because you're always eating out and you can't always look up the nutrition info if it's a little unknown place. anyways, i ordered a black bean burger today at a restaurant thinking that would be a safe enough bet. i decided to not eat the…

some inspiration please
not to be a debby-downer, but it's so hard for me to feel as though it will work out this time around. i've tried EVERYTHING before this site. i want to lose weight so badly but i'm tired of giving it my all and seeing nothing. i guess i just wanted someone who felt like me to tell me how they overcame this and lost some…

too much protein help...
I find that a lot of times I eat a little to much protein. I don't even eat a lot of meat. Sometimes it's just from having some tuna or a little bit of peanut butter throughout my day. Overall, how bad is it for me to eat more than my protein deficit on some days?

I'm finally losing this!
I'm new to myfitnesspal.com and I'm hoping more than anything that this site is going to help me reach my goal this time around. I've been overweight since about 7th grade and I'm 19 now. I can't stand being the size I am. I shouldn't weight this much, especially at my age. And, I go to school by the beach... I'd love to…
