Exercise that involve
punching, kicking, grunting, and screaming? I'm needing a few right now. I'm really really angry and upset. Instead of going to the freezer and grabbing the ice cream, I'm trying to exercise. But running isn't helping. What are some exercises that I can smack something around, maybe grunt and scream a little?

Man loses 400 without gastric bypass.
Though I'd share this with y'all. Don't ever say you can't. You can. I watched this guy's documentary on TLC. The most inspiring thing I've ever seen. Looking for love, 650-pound virgin loses 410 David Smith once contemplated suicide; now, ‘girls make googly eyes at me’ He was enormously obese — a lost soul with no friends…

Would freezing yogurt
make it lose any nutritional value? I've got a few containers of Yoplait 99% Fat Free Orange Cream Yogurt sitting in the freezer. They're yummy and take about 40 minutes to eat (so it forces me to eat slowly). They're my sort of ice cream thing. But it occurred to me, would freezing the yogurt take out nutritional value? I…

How do you find support?
It's seems like there's none in my family. I just hate hate hate the way things are right now. My sister works at Baskin Robbins, she's 17 and weighs 250 pounds, and has absolutely no interest in losing weight. My dad weighs 260 pounds and constantly says "I need to lose weight, I need to lose weight" but never does…

Non-weight-loss related but still... YESSSSSSS!
Okay, I'm in a state of euphoria right now. I got a call from my orchestra director today.... and he wants me to be in the pit orchestra for the musical next year, and be lead cellist!!! Our school is known for being the "top school of musicals." Everyone there works hard to make it perfect, and being picked to be in the…

Boredom Eating
I think I've found the root of my problem. Boredom eating. I'm not hungry, not at all, I'm actually full! And I have nothing to do, and what do I think? "Hey, I'm going to go get a snack!" ARGH. Usually, when I am bored and feel like snacking, I grab my cello and play for awhile. It's great because I get in practice time,…

What is this?! =)
I've found that whenever I have a big revelation and say "I'm GOING to do it this time- I'm going to exercise everyday and eat right and lose weight" I always end up failing after three or four days. Today, I woke up, and decided- hey, I'll have a banana and some toast for breakfast. And then I had a glass of water. And I…

OMG 100 POUNDS HERE I AM!! (and other news)
Background knowledge: :laugh: -I wasn't aware that we still had a membership to the gym. I knew we had a one year contract, and I thought it ended after that, so I stopped going. But NO, we had been paying for a whole month without anyone using it, because I thought the membership had stopped. (I'm usually the only one in…

Wow... I didn't think people would notice...
So, I've only lost, like, 4 pounds, but I went to my cello lesson with my teacher today, who hasn't seen me in three weeks. As soon as I walk in, her son goes "Hey, you look good, did you lose weight?" and right behind him comes my teacher, and she goes, "Yeah, sweetheart, did you lose weight?" And I was like... "Um, not…

How many pounds...
How many pounds would you say a size medium t-shirt is. I'm talking about a unisex shirt (or you could even say mens). But you know, the t-shirts you buy at concerts, academic events, etc. So any of you wear a medium? If you don't mind me asking.... how much do you weigh? I mean, right now, I'm trying to re-evaluate my…

SOOO HUNGRY
Alright, so I'm in a bit of a dilemma... I woke up 15 minutes late this morning, and instead of eggs and yogurt like I was planning, I yanked out the Coco Puffs and had two big bowls. Obviously, that put me at about 600 calories- and I'm eating 1400 a day. And of course, it's Coco Puffs, so 4 hours later I am STARVING.…

So Upset...
So, it's a beautiful day outside- 75 degrees, a nice little breeze. So, I started riding my bike around the park, I notice a few people there, but I wasn't wearing my glasses, and I didn't recognize them. Once I rode my bike down to where the people were sitting, I saw it was three couples from school. I only knew one…

Is P90x really...
worth it? I'm only 15... I have about 7 bucks to my name (besides what's in my bank account, which I'm not taking out). How much is P90x? Is it really worth it? I doubt I'll be able to convince my parents to buy anything over 20 bucks.... and I doubt that's what it is... plus, I can't afford weights or anything else. I've…

Wow... I didn't know
how good exercise is. Last year, I used MFP and lost about 15 pounds, just by cutting back to 1200 calories a day. I never really exercised, other than PE class and walking to and from school. And since I didn't exercise, when I stopped counting calories, I gained back 30 pounds. Today, I was reading a post, and I saw…

I can't make myself eat.
For the past few days, I have had such horrible stomach cramps, I can't eat. I literally mean I can't eat. I have not eaten since Friday morning. I have consumed ZERO calories. I know this is bad, but I can't eat. I've managed to get down some water, but it's hard to get anything else down. Is it bad to go zero calories…

I found my inspiration
I want that dress. I want that dress SOOOOOOOOOOO bad. But the biggest size they make is for, like, a 30 inch waist. And I have, like, a 38-40 waist. :noway: Ten inches is a lot to lose. But I really want that dress!!!!!!! That dress is my inspiration. I will lose the weight I need to, so I can wear that dress. I WILL DO…

It's one of those days
It's one of those days where I feel like stuffing my face. normally, when it's like this, I'll go to the high school track and run. But I'm at my aunt's house, there is no nearby high school, and it's pouring rain with lightning and thunder. I tried to chew gum, but I dislike gum VERY much. How do you beat the days when…

Exercise at home?
I'm at my aunt's house, 230 miles away from home, and there is no treadmill, no weights, no TV, and no gym. To top it off, it's raining outside, so I can't go running. What are some exercises you do at home when you can't go outside. I'm thinking yoga, but the amount of calories it shows you burning does not look right to…

Beginning Runners
Looking to begin running? I love running, but I'm horrible at it. I found this site, just right now, and wanted to show it to all. http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-380-381--9397-2-1X5-3,00.html It's an 8-week program for beginning runners. Though I think I might do the one week for two weeks, because I don't…

Pajama pants to gym...?
Well, tomorrow I plan on going to the gym, but all my sweats are dirty and it's WAY to cold to wear shorts. Plus, it's almost midnight and I want to do to bed, and I have to leave at 8 tomorrrow. I'm thinking about wearing a pair of my nice (not silk or anything, but no holes, rips, etc) PJ pants to the gym. I'm only doing…

Renewed Motivation
I'm trying to renew my motivation. I moved back in with my parents during college, and I was convincing them to join a gym. Finally, to my relentless persisting, they joined. =) So now I'm going swimming at the pool. I'm hoping now, since I haven't been for the last 3 months, I'll start counting calories again, and start…

Wow... I need help.
So, school has gotten to me. I stopped going to Fresno State, moved back to my hometown and now going to a community college. It's not anywhere where I wanted to be now, and neither is my weight. I lost 20 pounds in the first 3-4 weeks I was here. And now, I've taken such a long break, it feels like I'll never be able to…

Just something to try...
Scenario: You are at the grocery store, only to buy milk, bread, and eggs, when you look at the Ice cream aisle, right next to the milk aisle. Your stomach growls in anticipation. After all, it's only been 2 weeks since you first started dieting. You could use a little treat, right? DON'T. Solution: Load up a grocery cart…

FRUSTRATION!
So, I'm back at college. School started again, and WHAM, 17 assignments in only 3 classes! I've been so busy, and so stressed that I ate all my problem foods, let my parents convince me into going to a buffet. Now I think I've gained. I feel so horrible. I'm so disappointed that I don't even enter in my calories anymore. I…

Music
Getting out that old guitar could have a few perks! So, you see it sitting in the back of your closet. The old guitar. You love playing it when you were 25. But now, you're an adult, too old and too stressed to play a musical instrument. You're on your diet, always exercising, always counting your foods. But did you know…
