Just found out I'm pregnant! Anyone else?
I found out this week that I am pregnant - yay. My H and I just started trying in January, assuming we'd get pregnant by spring/summer, but apparently we are overachievers and got pregnant right away. I am excited but also wish I had reached my goal weight prior to conceiving (I am about 10 lbs over my goal). Oh well. Now…

Losing weight BEFORE getting pregnant (what?!) :)
Hey all. I am not new to Mfp but haven't used the boards much but I am looking for friends and support. My husband and I have been married for almost a year and a half. Over the course of those 16 months I have put on about 13 pounds!! (I also got a new job and we bought a house - lots of changes!) We would like to start…

I'm new here! :) Intro!
Hello ladies! My wedding is August 2nd 2013 and I want to get in the best shape of my life for it! I used to be very thin but unfortunately I have recently taken on FH's unhealthy habits and have added quite a bit of flub to my body. I'm about 10 lbs over my goal weight. I have 8 months to go, and I really think I can do a…

Alright, here's an awkward topic but I need advice/insight
Can we talk about poop? How many times a week is one supposed to go to the bathroom? I am lucky if I can go once a week, it's usually once every other week. It's very uncomfortable. It's been like this for a couple of years. I'm not sure why I have so much trouble - I always hear things like eat more fiber etc etc but I…

Water and weight loss?
What is the connection between drinking a lot of water and losing weight? this is always the #1 weight loss tip, I feel, and I just can't get myself to drink a ton of water.

Does this make sense (weight loss calculation)?
I hate the way MFP uses net calories etc, it really screws up my brain. Here is my logical (to me) way of thinking about calories in/calories out and my plan.. Inputs... I am consuming 1600 cals/day, my BMR with a sedentary lifestyle is 1630 (BMR * 1.2), and I work out avg. 6x/wk and burn on avg. 1800 cals/wk (250/day)…

P90X Buddies!
I'm starting P90X (lean program) today! I am looking for some MFP buddies to add for accountability and motivation :) Add me as a friend if you are interested! I only need to lose 10 lbs, so I will need to push hard to meet my goal. The less you have to lose, the more dedicated you have to be. I'm ready to commit myself to…

Ready for friends with similar goals!
Hi! My name is Natalie, I live in upstate NY, I'm 25 years old and ready to get back to my comfortable weight (you know, the one where the thought of going to the beach doesn't make you want to cry). That's about 10 lbs away from where I am now. I can remember when my weight started to creep up. Now I'm 10 lbs heavier, and…

Equipment for Minimalistic home gym
I want to buy some equipment for my home so I can still workout on days that I don't get to the gym. I don't see the need for a full gym in my home but I'd like to feel like I have enough on hand to get a decent workout in. Currently I have: two 5 lb dumbbells, one 15 lb kettlebell, two sets of resistance bands, and a yoga…
