STARTING OVER
Hey Everyone: New to MFP... again. This means that I've been an "on-again/off-again" member. With my eating disorder & anxiety, it's been almost impossible to lose weight, but I'm trying. I'm back because I need to do this - with all of you. So, if you have any advice, tips, and prayers for me - I'd be grateful and all…

MACRO HELP NEEDED!
Hey All <3 I'm trying my best to figure out my PROTEIN/CARB/FAT PERCENTAGES, which will keep me on my path. I've never been good at figuring out how many calories I need, etc. CAN SOMEONE HELP?? I want to start slow and build success, so I'm looking at trying to lose 1 pound a week. What should my calorie intake be at,…

Survival Of The Fittest
Hi Community: Looking for a group of people who can be more than just MFP friends. I'm looking for strong minded, willed people who care and are serious about not only my progress - but their own. Engaging motivators who can pick me up, dust me off and kick my *kitten* back into motion - when I waiver off course. I've…

Reacquainting Myself
Hey Guys & Gals: It's been a LONG while since I've been here, religiously every day. But, I'm on day 35 and taking it ONE DAY at a time. Sadly, I've lost most of the friendships I made here in the past, which is an absolute shame. They were all wonderful and I cannot tell you how supportive. I'm on a very LONG journey of…

MY FITNESS PAL - AS A DATING SITE
Hey Everyone, I haven't posted on the boards in forever, so I thought it was time. Over the last little while I've run into many people who have married/are dating individuals that they've met on sites such as this.

THE BODY PLEDGE
I thought I'd share and post something really motivational that has helped me "keep going" over the past little while. It's a "body pledge" because let's face it, we ALL neglect our bodies and treat them badly. So, take a look at this. I think it's something we should all vow to ourselves DAILY: Thanks for listening, Gia…

THE EMANCIPATION OF "ME"
This may sound odd or crazy to most of you, but I'm here to find "me" again and set her free -once and for all. So, I was kind of hoping that you could all help me do that. I know, silly right? Why would anyone ask a bunch of strangers to help me find the essence of who I am? Well, I've spent my final day off (today)…

MY ADDICTION TOWARD FOOD
Mental illness is a growing concern in society today. It can take on many forms; each one uniquely different based on individual factors. Although, the discussion surrounding the subject has become more frequent, many of us still cannot comprehend exactly what it means to have one. There are many misconceptions and fears…

PROTEIN SHAKE IDEAS, ANYONE???

Do any of you have any really great ideas for what to put in one? I'm looking for some yummy input here, foks, so please feel free to drop in and…

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES OF THE DAY!
Being a Writer, words are VERY important to me. They have the power to change what your feeling in an instant. They also have the power to change your life. If you ever walked into my life, you would know that inspirational quotes are a part of me in every way. I have them all over my home, my office space, etc. I think…
