Thank you aelunyu....1200 and why it won't work
I just finished reading this http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/865024-1200-and-why-it-won-t-work And I think it kinda opened my eyes to the reality. I've been saying I want to do this and make a lifestyle change not a temporary get where I wanna be change. I've been aiming for 1200-1300 calories a day. If I'm honest…

Motivational, active friends needed...
I'm really trying to get back on track. A few years ago, I lost about 55lbs. I kept it off for a while. Then I stopped working out AND logging my food. I gained it back. I'm currently at 205 and want to be at 160ish for starters. My husband and I would like to start a family and I want to be healthier before I get…

Just curious...how long were you doing Insanity before you really started noticing a difference in your body?

Here I go again....
It's time to get back on track. I don't know why I do this to myself. I decided just to try to eat healthier and not count calories, but it's so easy to just have a little extra here and there. And I know how fast that can add up. I had lost 20 lbs again, but have gained a few back. So, i think i'll try logging again. I'm…

In Desperate Need.....
of MOTIVATION!!! Hi. I'm Patricia. This is not my first time starting this. I was very successful the first time-only 20 lbs. from my goal. Then something happened...I don't know what it was. I just stopped working at it. Now, I'm right back where I was in the very beginning. Actually, I think I'm about 20lbs. heavier than…

Reintroduction...It's been TOO long!!
Hi, my name is Patricia. I used MFP over a year ago and it worked great!! Then, for some reason, I let myself go, and I've gained almost 40 lbs. It's disgusting. Now, I'm getting married in less than 4 months. You would think this would be motivation enough, but I'm still having a difficult time getting back on track.…

Almond butter????
Where do I buy this? Is it an acquired taste or is it actually good?? Any info is appreciated.

For those of you who use a HRM....
Do you wear it when you strength train and do cardio or just when you do cardio? I was just wondering because it doesn't give you an option to enter calories on strength training when you enter your exercise. I usually just end up making up a name for the whole workout and putting it under cardio.

My Confession
I love this website...and I was doing really well. I was only about 13lbs. from my goal weight. Then, for some reason, I stopped working out and eating right. I think I've been gone for about 2 1/2 months and I'm pretty sure I've gained at least 20lbs. I can't believe that I let it get this far, but on the bright side, I…

Looking for a Group or a Challenge
Hi! I've been gone from MFP for about 2 months. I had been laid off from work for 8 months, and finally went back the first of August. It's been 50 hour weeks since then, and I'm having trouble finding the motivation and the energy to get back to the gym. This past week, I worked out 4 times, so I think I'm getting it…

Upper Arm Jiggle
I am curious if this will ever go away. I would like to hear from people who have lost a lot of weight and had the "bat wings" before. Can I get rid of it without surgery? Did yours get smaller? Stay the same? I just want to hear what you all think on the subject. Thanks.

Embarrassing Question...for the ladies
I have been wanting to ask this question, but I was too embarrassed. But here it is anyway....... For the past couple of weeks, I've been having sweat circles around my nipples when I work out. Anyone else?? At first I decided it was just that I was sweating more, so I was just sweating through my sports bra. I have…

Pictures....in no particular order
I put some new pictures on my profile. The ones where I was pretty big are from about a year and a half ago. The others are from last summer. Around November I started gaining again. I gained almost 20lbs. That's what I'm trying to get rid of now.....plus some. I don't actually have any current pictures since I've gained…

An Alternative to C25K....
I just wanted to make everyone aware of an alternative to the "Couch to 5K" program. C25K is 9 weeks. This other is 6. I finished it a week ago. As far as getting to be able to run a 5K in this time, you have to run at 6.2mph on the treadmill, because it actually trains you to run for 30 minutes straight. So, 30 minutes at…

Would you recommend
30 Day Shred? I've heard a lot of people talk about it on here. I was wondering if any of you who have done the 30 day shred or are doing it currently would share your successes. I want to know if it works before I buy it. Thanks in advance.

You all opened my eyes....
I used to get frustrated after a week or two because I didn't feel like I was seeing any results. This website has really changed my outlook. I have steadily lost in the 3 weeks that I have been on here. Now, I realize that it will come off...it's just not as easy as putting it on. Hopefully, I will stick with this even…

Is My Heart Rate Normal???
I've been jogging for over a year now. I'll just run a mile or two at a time, but I recently purchased a HRM and noticed that my heart rate reaches around 180-195 every time I run....or jog. On the treadmill, I usually run at about 6.5-7. I'm 27 years old, 5' 5'', and 177lbs. Does anyone know if this is normal? I thought…

My First Week!!!!

It's Never Too Late to Start....AGAIN
Hey Everyone! I got that ah-hah moment over the weekend and decided it was time to take care of my situation before it got completely out of control. A little over a year ago, I weighed 225 lbs. I got down to 162, but then stopped working out for 2 months back in November. I got back to the gym the beginning of the…
