Moving on from MFP
Ok guys. It's been a wonderful year with MFP and with all, but I've gotten to the point where I don't feel as if it's offering me any benefits. I'm logging as an afterthought at the end of the day, and even without keeping track as well as I was, I'm staying where I need to be. It's becoming a chore more than a beneficial…

Stomach Flu
I know it's not an actual flu. But I have the stomach thing. NOT eating NOT drinking until the sick part is done. Don't lecture. I won't be able to keep even a sip of broth or seven up or whatever you prescribe down. Nope, I'm going to sit around, be miserable, try and sleep, run to the bathroom occasionally, and just make…

Dear Spammer
Knowing that there are a number of people here that are emotionally fragile about weight and food and spamming random inboxes telling them that they too can loose 65-75 lbs in two months just by watching your video and doing what you did is harmful and cruel. Congratulations, you spammed one of the opinionated loudmouths,…

I GOT A HAIR CUT
Yes, this counts as a success story. For most of my life, I've had long hair, it's ranged from down to my knees, to most of the way down my back. I got it cut short for Boot Camp, but then it was right back to long hair for me. And for most of my life, despite HATING the day to day hassle, hating how it looked, hating to…

Just wanna say
I love that most of my MFP advertisements are for WOW. Mists of Pandaria, specifically, because Panderans are the ultimate fat kids.

NEW ALL TIME HIGH 230 LBS WOOHOOO
Not how much I weigh, how much I can leg press. I now leg press more than I weigh. That is an awesome feeling. I weigh 215, and leg press 230.

Favorite lift
This is here, and not in fitness, because it's not about exercising, or what lifts and how for specific results. Purely for fun. What is your favorite lift? Why do you like it? I love the leg press. It makes me feel strong.

To: All the (WOW) Gamers on MFP
MISTS GOES LIVE IN 6 HOURS! What are your plans? How will this affect your diet/workout program? Are you hopeful, or are you prepared for another let down like Cata? My plans: stay up all night, wow until the servers crash, go to the gym while they are down, come home, rinse, repeat. Filled my house with quick easy healthy…

MUDDERS
I would like to start training to participate in mudders. The goal is to be able to do the 2013 zombie mud run. It's an end of September event, which gives me just over a year to get ready for it. I have about 60 lbs to loose to be at a healthy weight. I can walk FOREVER without getting tired, bike FOREVER without getting…

Last night in California
Last night in California and I can't sleep. Big move to the East Coast, nervous because Pennsylvania doesn't have 24 hour fitness. Can anyone in Pennsylvania recommend a good gym to me? Nervous about the trip. It's a road trip, with many stops to see things, which inevitably means road food, so it's going to be days of…

Question for all the "eat above your BMR" folks
What do you do, if, say, you went on a REALLY REALLY long bike ride (not with the intent to get in a lot of cardio, but for the enjoyment of the ride) and despite eating well above your BMR, and a lot more than you normally eat, but your net calories, according to mfp, is in the negative numbers? (After the hearty dinner…

Fat Pants question
So I'm moving in less than a month. I am NOT taking everything. With the move is coming a downsizing of years of accumulated junk. SO let's talk fat pants. Part of me wants to save them so I can see the comparison when I hit my goal weight. Originally, I'd meant to keep them to just see how far I've already come since…

SCALE WON'T BUDGE so NSV
OK.. while i do post NSVs sometimes, I'm very much a numbers oriented person, so the scale helps satisfy my need for numbers and concrete mathematical data. IT HASN'T BUDGED IN A MONTH. It's VERY frustrating. SO to stop myself from going crazy, I backed up and looked at the GOOD changes over the month. 1: Despite the lack…

Most annoying NSV ever.
I live near enough to the gym that sometimes I walk there and back. Yesterday, while I was walking back from the gym, not one but TWO guys, completely separate incidents, about a half mile from each other slow rolled me in their cars and asked for my number. This also happened the day before yesterday walking home from the…

Calorie counting > dieting
So...I know this is poor nutrition, and I know I could have made better choices, and I don't really need a nutrition lecture... This is NOT a daily practice, it is not jumping off a healthy eating bandwagon, its a once in a blue moon incident, and me being very grateful that I can enjoy the incident in full. BUT OMG…

Smaller clothes shopping For the first time in my LIFE...
I have NEVER... In the entirety of my life... Ever had to shop for a SMALLER size. Tomorrow, I go shopping for a smaller swim suit. I've been gaining weight fairly steadily from the time I got pregnant with my first.... I've been tracking the pounds, 20 lost, but the numbers don't really hit home. They're just numbers, and…
