Buddy for Fitness Motivation and Friendship
Hey MFP! I'm looking for something (perhaps?) a little different from just a fitness buddy. I'm looking for a sort of internet friend to share fitness/food goals with but also to share what's going on our lives and have a nice chat as I feel it's stress/anxiety that leads to my worst habits. So it would be nice to have…

Bad chicken?
Has anyone ever went through a phase of thinking all chicken smells bad? I've been eating a lot of chicken lately and since last week every chicken I've been opening I've thrown away since I smelled it being off. This has been one pack of thighs from Tesco, one red Thai just cook chicken from sainsburys and a pack of…

Looking for some motivating bum kicking.
Hello all! I've been using MFP since Jan and lost a good few pounds. I have, however, over the last month put on 6lbs. Gadz! I'm looking for some new friends as I find it motivates me when I see their progress. Any volunteers? I'm in the UK. 5ft 6. 198lbs. Looking to lose another 30lbs. (Started at 224lbs)

Flabby AND muscly arms?
So when I was looking in the mirror today I've noticed that my arms, although still really flabby, are rather muscly at the bicep area, which is really odd. At the moment I lift with two 5lb weights doing bicep curls, weighted squats, side lifting and lifting behind my head for my triceps. (Very technical I know). Has…

First NSV. Super excited!
So the other day I went shopping and saw these gorgeous pair of flowery silk shorts. Problem was they were a size14 (UK) and my current jean shorts I wear are a size 18(uk). Now I knew my jean shorts are a little too big (read falling off me) so I thought "what the hell!". So despite not having lost anything on the scale…

The Relief!
I joined MFP back in Jan, and since then I've been trying to stick religiously to 1200 cals a day, which I can on most days stick to and by the start of Feb I reached a loss of 12lbs, which I'm super proud of. I had a bad back at the time and couldn't leave the house so there was hardly any temptation. Now I'm a lot better…

Looking to lose another 30lbs+... when to tone?
Right, so far I have lost 24lbs to put me at an even 200. I'm 5ft6 so looking to be between 160 and 170 to still be quite curvy. I was wondering when it the best time to start toning? Should I wait to lose some more weight or is it never to early? My main concerns are my arms, tummy and bum. I don't want to be left with…

Good exercise for back problems?
Hey all, I've recently hurt my back - my doctor says my back is like a small child and it will occasionally throw tantrums leaving me in pain. Great! Anyone have any tips on back strengthening moves? Or any exercise to help me bump up my weightloss. Feel a little silly just taking the dog for a walk.

Ridiculously confused newbie.
Hello! Right I've been reading through posts today trying to discover just how much I should be eating a day. And to be honest I am VERY confused. Maths and formulas have always given me a headache. I am 5ft 6 and weigh 210lbs (roughly my weigh in day is tomorrow) and my goal is to be around 140lbs so a 70lbs loss…
