Supernatural and other VR Fitness people?
Hello! I'm looking for friends who knock out some of their fitness in VR. I'm 45m from Oregon, USA. I have been working out for nearly two months (gym in the morning and VR in the afternoon or evening). I've lost 20 pounds and have near 0 friends on MFP. If you love Supernatural, Beat Saber, or any VR experience I'd love…

Cheat meals
Do you cheat? At what point did you start adding a cheat meal into your weekly routine? Of course we can't cheat all the time, but at what point did you take a cheat meal? What was your meal? Do you still limit the size of the meal or do you eat all you want for a single meal?

Backstreet's Back -- Alright!
I've been a member of MFP for years. I've gone from my heaviest to my goal weight more than once, but when Covid killed my gym in March of 2020 I lost faith and ate myself all the way to my heaviest weight ever. I gained nearly 70 pounds. I returned to MFP a week ago and to exercising three days ago. Because I was gone so…

Cardio in a time of COVID.
Just like many others, my gym has shuttered its doors to help stave the spread of COVID-19. I've been walking/jogging virtually every day for the last six months. It's SNOWING/RAINING and FREEZING cold here. Does anyone have a good cardio alternative they can suggest for me to do indoors until the Spring actually Springs…

New again (seven years later)
My name is Rain. I'm a 42-year-old guy from Oregon, USA. The first time I was on MFP I lost 58 pounds! That was nearly seven years ago (when I hit a fit 165 pounds). In the years since I folded my knee 90 degrees in the wrong direction, destroyed my lower spine, and had a two-inch tumor removed from my jaw. After those…

Before and After Picture... To take or not to take?
I've lost a couple pounds so it isn't too late. I feel like I SHOULD take 'before' pictures, but I can't even stand to face myself in the mirror. Did you take 'before' pics? If you didn't, did you regret it?

Oregon man with 20 pounds to lose
Hello, I'm Rain. I live in Southern Oregon and work as a radio announcer. I used to be really active, but until lately I was so busy I couldn't find time or motivation to exercise. I was a member here about five years ago and lost almost 70 pounds. Now I'm back and needing friends. I'll cheer you on if you do the same for…

Blood Pressure and HR changes
I don't take medication to regulate my bp or hr. I never have. For the last several years my BP has generally rested around 132/85 with a resting HR around 85. I noticed a change about 3 weeks ago and while I feel great... I'm mildly concerned. I now have a BP that sits around 117/72 and a HR of 55-60. I've been exercising…

Male dancer needs friend
Good morning! My name is Rain and I live in Oregon. I resumed dancing in September after more than a year off. The problem is: I'd gained back 30 pounds of the 60+ I lost 4 years ago. Yeah... Apparently inactivity and poor food choices will do that to you. Anyway, I'm now taking nine dance classes per week (a combination…

Water vs UTI
So the last few days I've been drinking between 14 and 20 cups of water per day. My frequency for urination has increased so much I'm almost questioning if I have a UTI. Seems to be every 30-45 minutes... Am I just drinking too much? Should I be slamming some cranberry juice? Am I just paranoid?

What does stress do to your progress?
Do you lose weight or gain weight with stress? I've been struggling with a lot of stress lately... It seems a lot of people gain weight when they stress out, but I don't know if that is because they eat their stress or if it's something internally. I personally have been losing weight at an alarming weight, but this isn't…

If I had boobs I'd get friend requests
I'm just curious... On average, how many friend requests do you get each week? I have a feeling women receive a lot of friend requests (from both men and women). Meanwhile, I'm guessing most men rarely get them.

Bruised ankles when jogging
I can walk all day without so much as a pain, but when I jog my ankles feel bruised for the rest of the day (and sometimes up to 3 days if I really push it). Has anyone else dealt with this?

Fun at work
So my co-worker was in the bathroom for an exceptional amount of time so I walked up and knocked then starting Singing "Do you want to build a snowman?" I then followed up with "Let it go" (which clearly they weren't because they were in there so long). Good times at work! If I don't have a job tomorrow... You'll know why.

Who would you eat first?
