Pixie Cut on larger women?
I am at a loss with my hair right now. I go through stages where I love it or hate it and I definitely hate it at the moment. I'm sure it's nothing a color refresh won't solve, but I'm also contemplating cutting it short. Opinions on if pixie cuts look good on larger women? :<

Changing calories.
So, I was feeling low a few weeks ago and my friends suggested I drop my desired weight-loss per week to 1lb from 2lb, to give myself some extra calories and give my body a bit of a break. I decided to look into this last night and changed my weight-loss goal...and my calories remained the same! \o/ Should I be trying to…

Shoulder pain.
I regularly get pain in my shoulders. I have a 7 month old who I seem to be carrying a lot, nursing frequently and often sleeps in the crook of my arm which means my shoulders are at the same angle for a long period of time every day. When I work out, I find my my shoulders hurt a bit and click a lot. Is there any way I…

Lingerie?
Okay, so I used to get my entire collection of lingerie from Hips and Curves. I liked their styles and they actually had my size, which was awesome! However, since going from an XL to an M, I hadn't really considered new items until recently. And a lot of the 'regular' size lingerie is just not me. There's nothing to the…

Fighting with yourself.
I have days where I think I'm doing awesome. I'm fantastic. I'm superwoman. And then I have days like today where every time I catch a glance in the mirror, I feel repulsed and want to hide. I fight with myself, back and forth, 'you can do this' to 'what's the point, you're still going to be ugly anyway'. And rinse and…

Weight gain after weaning?
My daughter is 6 months old. I'm looking to at least nurse her until one year, supply willing, and I have lost all of my weight while breastfeeding. I'm interested to know how other mothers continued their weight-loss efforts after stopping breastfeeding. Did you make any changes in calories or workouts? I'm slightly…

Dress me for the Orchestra!
I'm totally going to be my target weight by the time the Zelda Orchestra hits town (see, positive thinking!) and I'm trying to decide on my outfit for the event. I know there will likely be people in full costume, but I'm looking for something inspired by either Fi or Ghirahim. I'm really having trouble trying to find…

"You've lost weight!"
Have I? Sometimes when I see people I haven't seen in a while, they greet me with the title comment and I feel dumbfounded. Sure, I've lost 17lbs since my weight-loss journey began, but I just don't feel like it's that great of an achievement. I sometimes feel like the road ahead is impossible because I just don't see what…

Geeky Tattoos?
One of my goal rewards is to get a tattoo. I'm aiming for the white lotus from the white lotus tile in Avatar: The Last Airbender. The next will be the ports on the back of my neck from Ghost in the Shell. Does anyone have/want geeky tattoos?

What's cooking?
While making dinner this afternoon (turkey stuffed peppers) I was browning the onions and garlic and it occurred to me...DAMN, garlic smells good when cooking. What are your favorite cooking smells?

The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses.
My husband surprised me with tickets to the Zelda Symphony, showing here in Minnesota on the 22nd of September! I'm really hoping to be my goal weight by then, so I'm hoping to dress really classy. He says there will probably be a lot of people cosplaying at the event. I'm wondering if anyone has some understated dress up…

Those dresses!
The ones that have been sitting in the back of the closet since last summer that haven't even had the tags removed. I'm sure I'm not the only one with them. I took them out last week and tried them on today...and my tummy doesn't stick out anymore! (It would have last summer, I was pregnant, but that's not the point!)…

My 'No Weigh May'.
So, for the last week, I haven't dropped any pounds. I am the type of person who, every time I go into the bathroom, will weigh myself at every chance I get. I found myself becoming increasingly depressed. I've made a challenge for myself. I will not weigh throughout the month of May (apart from one cheat on the 14th, my…

NSV...My old jeans!
I have a beloved, well-worn pair of Roxy jeans that mean a lot to me. They were jeans I wore all the time when my husband and I were dating and I LOVED those jeans. A couple of years back, I tried them on for a laugh, and ended up in tears. I could barely get them up my thighs! I found them in the closet yesterday while…

NSV...
My husband just said 'DAMN girl'. Okay. So he's my husband. But this is not what he usually says to me, so I'm totally excited for it. XD (I'll totally take the compliments where I can get them right now.)

Worried I won't like the new me?
I guess this is just rambling, but I don't remember having ever been my goal weight (and if I did, it must have been so long ago that I don't remember what it's like) and I think I'm a little bit afraid of reaching it just in case I don't like the new me. Does anyone else share this fear?

Breastfeeding and calories?
After reading another thread here, I realized I haven't been considering breastfeeding with my daily calories! My 4 month old feeds regularly. Does anyone have any good articles about how many extra calories I should be consuming? Thanks!

Buddy me? 28/158lbs/mom of two.
Anyone with similar goals out there to help me feel less awkward about my body/diet/habits? I'm a stay at home mom of two. I workout three times a week at a gym and I'm adding more into rotation at home as time (and kids) allow. I know it's going to go a little slower than I like, but I think I'm okay with that! Are you a…

New to...well, everything!
Hey folks. I'm new to Myfitnesspal. I've been doing exercise classes for the past 3 weeks (after my husband volun-told me to do it, and in retrospect, I'm glad he did) and I've recently started looking at my eating habits to help me get into better shape. How long did it take people to adjust to the changes? Was it gradual…
