Things I wish I knew then (likely to offend most)
Before people read this and get too upset, in some cases where I am being offensive it's in a joking way. I spent my fair share of time on this site, so I've basically seen it all when it comes to MFP. I started my fitness pal when I was 16 (4 years ago). I suffered with an eating disorder, tried basically every fad diet…

How to start
My aunt (who is severly obese) asked me the other day what I do to be healthy, but I realized what I've done as an 18 year old whose been focused on weight training, cardio and proper eating for most of her life.. my advice would be pretty irrelevant. I wouldn't want to "scare" her out of losing weight or intimidate or…

If the world were to end....
I'm not even sure if this even that debatable of a topic but... if the world were to end, who should be left to live? As the population has surpassed 7 billion, I think were slowly starting to realize how great we are at destroying what is natural on this planet. So if a disease (or anything) were to come and kill off most…

why am I fat?
Now don't confuse this question with "how come I'm fat." I know how come: I over ate, and didn't move around enough growing up. But do you ever ask yourself why? What was it that caused you to overeat? To delve into a world of gluttony. I always wonder if it was a chain reaction. My family loved to cook together, we were…

Emotional Eating
I'm not sure how many other people have this problem, but I am a HUGE stress eater. And of course, its never the healthy options. With finals slowly approaching I could really use some help! Has anyone overcome their stress eating? If so, do you have any tips to share? :)

Freshman, uh minus 15?
Just entered my first year of university, and boy oh boy they do NOT lie when they talk about how awful the food is for you. It's been a rough 6 weeks food wise,but I think I'm finally ready to get myself back in the game! I could really use some extra support in making sure I stay on top of everything, so please feel free…

why "1200"
I understand the whole starvation mode dilemma, but I can't for the life of me understand where THIS particular number came into play. Why is "starvation" mode for me 1200 calories when I'm 5'4, but also 1200 calories if you're 6' tall. If everything else in the "healthy lifestyle change" [remember its not a diet;) ] isn't…
