Beginner Runner starting C25K this (rainy) Saturday morning!
Just looking for motivation, tips, anything! I have never been a runner. As a matter of fact, if you see me running, you should probably run too. Because that means the zombie apocalypse is chasing me or something. But I've decided to incorporate it into trying to exercise. It's free! And my cousin has lost 20 lbs since…

My addiction to carbs and sugar...the struggle is real
I have, for what seems like my entire life, loved foods loaded with carbs and sugar. I mean, really, bread and cake?! However, I have realized more so lately that I am overdoing it, meaning I am consuming farrrrr more carbs and sugar than I should, even on days where I keep a modest calorie count. So there-in lies my…

Work (Waitress, nurse) and burning calories
Just wondering what others thought as to how to calculate how many calories are burned during a work day. I work at a moderate to fast past restaurant and have used a broken pedometer (doesn't count EVERY step) to see that on an average day I take about 5000+ steps. Should I, and how should I if I should, calculate that in…

Back on the horse *again*
. Lets start from the beginning, weighing in at 260 lbs. by the time I was 12. By 15, was down to about 200. By 19, I was 145, lowest weight I had seen since I was 9. Got pregnant,by 20, gained 70 lbs., my son passed away, pretty much stopped eating and lost 30 lbs. And then came the "I don't care, I'm just going to eat."…

Starting the journey of workout videos
So I'll just come out and say it. I am NOT the type of person who can endure long, hard workout videos. The thought of doing insanity or P90X terrifies me. I was trying to start off with something that I can stay motivated with, and that won't wear me out the first day to the point of it collecting dust, or never being…

Back again
I found that when I was on MFP, I had some motivation to keep going. And today, I was out trying on clothes, and yes I had just ate, and just I'm bloated, and yes, they were a size I knew I probably wouldn't fit, but it was enough to frustrate me. So here I am, months later, but ready for another start!! Can't wait to meet…

Need motivating friends! Not picky! haha
I just need people who are trying to lose weight, I don't care the amount or where you are from. I realize I just do much better when I have someone to talk to. Hit me up =]

Trying to find me under layers of flab
Little back story: Had a baby in July. Gained 60+ lbs. Son passed away 5 days after birth due to a placental abruption during labor. Aside from fighting depression, I am currently trying to fight all this extra fat. Need a hand. I've never had anything like this before, but I could really use some serious support. I'm 20,…
