Emergency- healthy food ideas!
OKAY. Without going into it too much, for the past two and a half weeks my family and I have been living off the kindness of others after being made (hopefully) temporarily homeless. It's basically meant, obviously, that my food and exercise routine has gone out of the window as I haven't had much energy to do anything…

Vegetarian low-fat protein sources (other than powder)
Hai guys. So basically I've worked out I need to eat a WHOLE LOAD more protein. I'm never anywhere near my protein goal for the day, and I know especially now I've upped my exercise (cardio and strength) I definitely need protein to help those budding muscles repair themselves. However, most vegetarian proteins I can think…

Not heavy but yay
So I've been gymming it for a week and one day now. It's sometimes ridiculously hard to force myself to drive to the gym rather than home after work in the mornings but I do it and I'm pretty proud of myself. It's probably not the right ratio, but at the moment I'm doing 45-55 minutes of cardio and then 15-25 minutes of…

On track to doing it right?
Just a quick question. I'm trying to get my head around the fact that 'exercise calories' are a thing, so please bare with me- I know y'all probably think I'm 'not eating enough' and stuff, I need time to mentally adjust! I'm starting to do more regular exercise- swimming at least 3 times per week, 45-60 mins per session,…

The universe is out to sabotage me.
Okay, quick note- I suffer from a cyclical depression disorder (suspected bi-polar but after ten years my doctor STILL refuses to give me a diagnosis...), self harm, and EDNOS. Ergo my eating/exercise is erratic at best. 2013 has so far, in a word, been ****. It's been devastating, with family death, and it's been…

Under cal goal?
Okay, so today I haven't done any exercise. I AM intending to do some gentle weights before I go to bed, because it always helps tire me out and get to sleep. In light of this, I made sure I was under my calorie goal (only by about 200 cals). Is this such a bad thing? On a normal day (when I do exercise) I'm careful to…

Need buddies! Any alt/vintage loving girls out there?
Hi guys! I'm loving MFP so far, but I really could do with a few more buddies to help encourage me to keep going. Plus, I love encouraging people! It always feel so good to give someone a few nice words to help them keep on track. Also, are there any alternative or vintage lovin' girls around?

Beginning the work out- motivation needed!
Hey guys, So I'm starting again on my fitness and weight loss journey. Because of a number of mental health issues, I've been unable to succeed- but THIS time I've got the support of a therapist, and my body builder/rugby player brother is giving me a 1-hour session once a week, so I'm feeling ridiculously confident about…

New :)
Hi MyFitnessPal, Saw some peeps talkin' aboutchu on a VF site. Thought- what could it hurt? I'm looking to lose a little weight before my birthday (1 1/2 months away- eek!) and then more before Summer/Autumn. Probably not a 'realistic' sort of goal, but I want to lose 1stone ish by my birthday. Doable? I hope so!
