What keeps you going during those rocky times?
I've been a member of MFP since April 2011. From April to July of that year, I managed to lose 26 pounds. From that point, my drive and motivation to keep going just disappeared. I turned 21 on July 13th, 2011. I wanted to go out with friends to bars and clubs, which inevitably led to late night drunchies and just overall…

Foot Pain....Help!
Let me preface this by saying that I really do understand that this doesn't replace medical advice from a doctor. I just don't have health insurance at the moment but I make just barely enough money that I don't qualify for sliding scale or anything like that so a doctor isn't really much of an option right now...This is…

What workout program would you recommend for me?
Hi all...I've been a member of MFP since April and lost 26 pounds. Unfortunately, stress and the holidays have made me gain 20 back, but I'm not giving up! I want to start some kind of video program, I feel like it will give me better success because getting myself to the gym just...doesn't happen as often as it should.…

Insanity/Turbo Fire/P90x...When to start?
My current weight is 272 and I am 5'9". I've been considering trying one of these programs, but I hesitate because I get discouraged easily. I know these programs aren't easy. I hate feeling failure, so if I cannot do a certain motion in a work out video or I get exhausted easily from it, it doesn't take me long to give…

Info on Fitbit?
I'm sure there are plenty of topics about this...My apologies if this is like a broken record! I was just hoping for some info on the fit bit...I'm a bit frugal with my money, but this really interests me so I think it would be worth the $100. I just had a few questions I was hoping you could answer? What's it all about?…

Tips/tricks/products for thin, oily hair?
It's not really "chit-chat, fun, and games" but I thought this would be the best place to post this? I'm not even sure if anyone on here will be able to help, but what's the harm in trying? I have thin hair...THIIIIIIIIIN hair. When all of my hair is in a pony tail, the width is less than a dime. It sucks, but I've learned…

Just looking for some helpful guidelines?
I guess the point of this is that I'm just hoping to get some helpful guidelines for what has been successful for other people. I've been a member of MFP since April and I have 20 pounds lost to show for it. This really isn't a bad rate of losing, but I do know that I could be losing faster (compared to other people's…

What is my body shape?
I keep seeing people mentioning "body shapes"...I generally know what the qualities for each body shape is, but I can't really tell what mine is. This is my "before" picture (I've lost 20 pounds since then), and the weight loss has been most apparent in my waist, which is kind of why I'm not sure what my body type is. I…

Fat loss = higher body temperature?
Two and a half weeks ago, I started eating clean (for the most part) and I have had pretty good success so far. Ever since I started eating this way,I have also noticed that there are times that I just feel like I'm burning up and I get clammy with sweat all over. This usually lasts about 15 minutes at a time, much like a…

Protein Shakes?
I'm shooting for 40% carb/30% protein/30%fat. By the end of the day I usually have 50% carbs, 20% protein, and 30% fat and I feel like it's stalling my weight loss, so I bought some whey protein last night. For a shake it's not bad tasting and I feel satisfied. They say to have a protein-packed meal after workouts (I…

MFP buddies!
I've been using MFP for a little over a week and I love it so far! I love the community and the message boards and I'm so thankful that I have found it because I really feed off of other people's success! I'm from Colorado and just wanted to post and say that I would love to have more friends on here. I love giving and…

MFP Day one
Starting with My Fitness Pal today. I started my journey last week, and I thought I was doing great, but I weighed this morning and saw +2 and almost wanted to cry! I've worked SO hard. I was losing an app called LoseIt!, and the RDI of calories was SO much higher than the RDI on MFP, so hopefully that solved the issue!…
