Help, please. Brand-noob to lifting.
Seriously, I'm am moderately older, untried potential weight lifter. I have never lifted, ever. I mean, obviously, I have picked up things, sometimes kind of heavy things, but I have never done any kind of weight lifting or resistance training. I'm looking for a very- beginners-have-no-clue-whatsoever work out tutorial. I…

I'm sublimating
Okay. I started out strong and it worked very well... for a time. I've lost 52 pounds! I should be proud. I should be strong! I know what I need to do! But... I'm not doing it. I've started trading my food for booze and my booze for food and smoking cigarettes again. I'm very disappointed with myself, but I FEEL powerless…

Stone-wave? Really?
Okay, this actually looks like a cool thing on an info-mercial, for a change. I'm very skeptical, as usual. Anybody have any testimonials?

Is 'beer belly' for real?
I like beer. I drink beer. I carry my weight predominantly in my stomach. As did my mother, as did my father. My husband insists that it is because I drink beer, although he has for years, also, and has no 'beer belly'. Is it really the beer or just the way I store fat, genetically? Is there any truth at all to the 'beer…

I'm needy.
I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but I need some positive reinforcement. I need to be told I'm doing well. I realize that it is a lame weakness on my part, but I can accept that. I need some friends who will cheer me on because, Lord knows, I'm not getting it from anywhere else.

Macros and diary help, please.
Can you people in the know look at my diary and tell me what I can do to start losing again. I already feel like I'm eating WAY too much. Maybe I'm not burning what I think when I exercise... Gaahhhh! I don't know. I will probably try to start lifting eventually but as out of shape as I am I think I'm getting enough…

Swim suit for lap swimming in a pool
I'm looking for a suit I can wear for lap swimming. I'm still plus size, probably an 18W at this point. I don't want to break the bank because I'm losing pretty good and I won't be wearing it long, but the suit can't be utter garbage either. Anybody have any suggestions?

I'm eating good. I'm exercising, but I need the flexibility, the range of motion, Tai Chi looks good. can it be self taught (really) from a video, or is it better to get some instruction from somebody?

Those last 100 calories of the day.
I always find myself with around 100 calories that I need to eat to get to my minimum calories. Besides the obvious apple or orange, what do you like to have to top up your calories for the day? I've went with a fudge bar or a few midgie tootsie rolls but I really don't want to eat a bunch of sugar right before bed. So,…

Water, water everywhere
I swear I am peeing filtered water at this point! I'm up 3 times a night using the bathroom. Does everybody really need to drink 8 glasses of water everyday? Fresh veggies are very high in water content, I drink green tea and a couple of Perriers a day (which I'm still undecided about whether I should count them as water).…

I need some friends
I'm fairly new on MFP. I'm alone on my journey here, where I live. I just quit smoking last month and I'm trying to get my bod healthier. So far so good, but I'm worried about the long haul. Need some friends to hold me accountable. So, yeah, add me?

FiberGourmet pasta anybody?
I've been looking into this Fiber Gourmet pasta. I love pasta and it's hard to give it up, or even cut down significantly. This stuff looks like a dream come true. Anybody tried it or have an opinion on it's real nutritional value? Is it some kind of 'frankenfood'?

Food
Hey everybody. Brand new here. I was hoping to get some help on food and recipe choices. I live in a very remote, rural area and our grocery store is very limited. I find it hard to stay motivated because I get sick of eating the same food over and over again. Any help with new ways to fix very basic foods would be greatly…
