Would MediFast be a good fit for me? Should I see a weight loss doc? [f, 5'4", 215lbs, age 23]
It's starting to appeal to me. My weight loss has been stalled from 240 for almost two years. (In which I finished and graduated from college, moved twice, got a pretty awesome job and a cute apartment, fell in love, did some cool stuff -- but, yeah, on the weight loss front...not much has happened.) I'm not married or…

What was your first week working out like?
Hey, all! What was your first week seriously working out as part of your weight loss journey like? I need some inspiration.

focus on time spent exercising or # of cals burned?
When you go to the gym, do you focus on the amount of time spent working out (i.e., stamina or giving yourself credit for working out, no matter what you did) or the number of calories burned?

Just got my first apartment. How do I stock it?
I'm really, really embarrassed to be posting this. So I just moved... I used to live on campus with a meal plan. As a result, I don't have any pots or pans... Or plates. Or cups. Or anything in the cupboards, fridge, freezer, whatever. Okay, okay. I do have moscato, a bag of tortilla chips, and hummus. ;) Some friends…

NSV - The Elliptical Machine
The elliptical machine is my nemesis. Even at my healthiest, I could never do it for long. I think fifteen minutes was my top. When I started working out again in March, I was in awful shape. I'd gained seventy-five pounds in just two years, and working out again was hard. When I tried the elliptical machine again, I could…

I gave up.
I gave up. A little. Ever since spring break started, I haven't logged or gone to the gym. Nothing more strenuous than walking to the dog. I was making such great progress, and now I've started binge eating again. The scale says I've only gained a pound or three, but I still feel like crying. I don't know where to go from…

Come play with me!
Hi, everyone! My name is Kat, and I'm an English major graduating in May. I stepped on the scale over winter break and saw 225. I got serious about MFP in January, and the scale just hit 203 today. My ultimate goal weight is 120, but I'd like to be at 150 by the end of 2013. Unfortunately, I don't have any friends on MFP…

Yesterday, I joined a gym. Today was my first day...
My dear friend and I have been scoping out gyms recently. Finally, we made our choice and signed up last night. I was nervous about being judged by others and my lack of stamina. Today was our first day...and it was so much FUN. Going back tomorrow for zumba. Just wanted to share my sense of giddy excitement with you all.…

Ladies - an achievement of sorts.
February was the month I returned to MFP. I haven't lost any significant weight yet. Maybe around 10 pounds. Just from using MFP and trying to keep under 1500. Still... I have something of an achievement. My boobs are smaller! My back hurts less when before it hurt chronically. (Alarming, since I'm twenty-one. I realized…

First time PMSing on Diet
I have PMDD, and I tend to binge - and binge super HARD -- every time my period rolls around, especially when I'm stressed and/or studying. The friends I'm synced with have already started theirs, and I'm beginning to cramp up myself. I already found myself reaching for the snacks. I'm making do with supposedly diet hot…

Any other college kids living on campus?
Maybe you're here because you ended up with the Freshman Fifteen. Or the Sophomore Twenty. Or the Senior Thirty. Is anyone else at the mercy of a college dining hall? Do you find it harder to make good choices than you would living somewhere you could cook for yourself? Personally, I'm always tempted to eat off campus or…

Eating less calories but more often?
I've recently begun using MFP regularly; I experimented with it a little in the past, but now I'm here to stay. Today, walking to the dining hall, I noticed that I feel the need to eat more often when I used to never prioritize meals. It all adds up to less calories than before; I'm learning to curb my tendency to stress…
