For the health of it!!!
Hey everyone! I have been a member of MFP for a few years and, honestly, when I actually took it seriously and logged all my food and exercise, it is has been the most successful tool that I have ever had with weight loss. I was doing very well until I got pregnant and had my baby. Then, I honestly just lost my motivation.…

Serious Question... Opinions Please
Okay.... I currently cannot run. I mean at all. Seriously. I can't even jog the length of a block. I was a runner in high school and for awhile after and really want to get back there again. I have no reason I can't (no health reasons or anything) aside from just being overweight (about 60lbs over weight) and way out of…

What boy names do you like?
Okay, so I actually don't know if I am having a boy or a girl yet. I have a girl's name already picked out and just want to pick a boy's name too. I probably wouldn't be too worried at this point except for the fact that I actually really think it is a boy and the fact that there is only 1 boy name I like and my husband…

Starting TOM after childbirth
Curious to see how this worked out for different women. I know some women don't start until after they have stopped breastfeeding and others start again right away. With my daughter, I started again about 3 months post partum. Hoping with this little guy I get luckier.

Maternity Clothes
I decided, when first getting pregnant, that I was going to wait until I was bigger before buying any maternity clothes. Mostly because, when I was pregnant with my daughter I got them early on and then I got bigger than I thought I would and they didn't fit very long. Also, because money wasn't the best at the time and I…

Im beginning to question things my doctor says...
Where to begin...? I like my doctor and have always felt like I can trust him but lately I am feeling confused by things he says. At my ultrasound, they told me that my baby was very long for his age. At 21 weeks he was measuring 14 inches long! Aside from that, everything else measured on track. So, my due date stayed the…

Help! Bra problems.
So, prepregnancy I was a 32F. If any of y'all are around the size, you know that can be hard to find that size. The town I live in happens to be just small enough that we dont have an Intimacy, Nordstrom, Victoria's Secret or any other specialty store. Dillard's is about the best we got in the way of a bra store. I also…

Rescued puppy that was left to die -what is he?
My husband has been working up in the mountains, miles from any town. He sleeps in his truck at night, as there is no hotel anywhere near. One night, late last week, he woke in the middle of the night. It was about 2am, snowing outside and he heard a dog crying. He went out looking and found this little guy tied to a tree.…

Are you a step parent or a step child? Experience?
I had my daughter in a previous marriage, which fell apart before she was even born. (Long story short, he didnt want to be a parent.) My daughter was only 2 when I met my current husband and 3 when we got married. She genuinely thought he was/had always been dad. She never asked, we never said. To clarify, the reason I…

HELP ME! I know this is the wrong website for this but ...
Okay, first of all, the chances of finding someone on here to answer me that knows much about chameleons is probably pretty low. Secondly, I know this is the wrong website for this but it is the only website that I am a member of. Third, yes, I know I need a vet but this closest one is in Vegas - 150 miles away. That being…

For both health reasons and allergies there is a huge array of foods that I cannot eat. Some of these I haven't eaten for many years, others only got cut off of my diet recently by Doc.

A little help Please! Any opinions thoroughly appreciated!
I will be leaving for work out of town soon, and I will be gone for 2+ weeks. Budget is a concern. So, while eating out is not got to help keep me on track for diet, it isn't going to help monetarily either. I need some food ideas. Mini refrigerator is the total of my available refrigerator space. Will be working 10 hour…

These are all the ones I know. I would love to read any others. I love funnies. ** A husband was standing on the bathroom scale, sucking his gut in as far as he could.

Overweight with joint pain/injuries?
I am very overweight and one of my hips has been giving me lots of hassle as of late. There has never been an injury there and I fully believe the pain is due entirely to strain from these many extra pounds.

6 Week CheckIn
Today marks 6 weeks from my start date. I have to admit, when I was young, thin and fit I used to think fat people were silly. I never made fun or anything, and never said anything out loud. But, I would always think to myself, 'why do they stay that way? Why would they want to be like that? It is so easy to fix it, it…

Okay, random question: I have been exercising hard, eating better, sleeping a full 8 hours and drinking plenty of water. My energy is increasing, I am losing weight and over all, I feel better. Except one thing: since I started trying to lose weight, over 3 weeks now, I have been having headaches. They vary in intensity…
