Goodbye 50-ish pounds, hello new life!
Although I haven't posted on MyFitnessPal for awhile now, I figured I would show my transformation in case it could encourage anyone else to stick with their weight-loss journeys. The first picture is me three years ago and 50 pounds heavier. The second is me now. Here is a face-by-face comparison from my heaviest weight…

Hot Yoga for Weight Loss!
Hey everyone! I just started a 30-day challenge where I do 100 minutes of hot yoga (a.k.a 26 yoga poses in a 100-degree room with 40% humidity) each day for 30 days! I am hoping to drop 30 pounds and have been dieting with great success. Today is Day 5 for the challenge. I am 183 pounds with a 5'5" frame. I started out as…

Quick, at-home strength exercises. Help!
I want to do quick strength exercises every other day right when I wake up in the morning. I need something relatively quiet because my roommates will still be sleeping, and something that can be done in a relatively small area. I have 5,10,and 15 pound weights. Does anyone have any ideas what kind of workouts I can do…

Scared to get back in the dating scene
My boyfriend of two years and I just broke up a few days ago. It has been a very hard break up, and I definitely have been having a hard time recently. I do not want to start dating anyone any time soon, but I want to try and take steps to the person I used to be before we dated. The problem, though, is that I don't feel…

Calling all men who love video games!
I want to surprise my boyfriend with a video game, but as a non-gamer, I am confused on which one to buy him! He loves Call of Duty and has already beat Grand Theft Auto Liberty City. Pretty sure he likes all those types of shooting games. Not really into the Fantasy stuff. I would prefer to get him a used game since money…

P90X Without the Diet
As a college student, it's extremely difficult to have the time or money to prepare all the foods they recommend in the P90X Nutrition Guide. I (am trying to) stay under 1300 calories a day and try to get 50% protein, 30% carbs and 20% fats. Realistically, it's difficult to prepare all lean meats on such a strapped student…

Whey Protein Causing Pimples?
I am doing the Fat Shredder diet for P90X, which includes eating 50% protein. I have started to drink Whey Protein shakes as a way to get all of my protein in for the day. But now I am starting to get some pimples. I have gotten three in one week! (And before you say I am a hormonal 20 year old, I've always had great skin…

I can't work out because of my....
EVIL NEIGHBORS! I live in a college apartment on the third floor, and yesterday my roommate and I were doing P90X Cardio X. Well there is some jumping and lots of moving around with that DVD, but they started banging on their ceiling (our floor) with a broom! (Rant: Are we in 8th grade?! Can we not walk up a flight of…

The past 30 days- I proved I could do it!

For the past 30 days, I have sweat my butt off in a 105 degree room while doing a 100 minutes of yoga. It was so challenging, and some days I would have done anything to…

Has anyone heard of this program? (Sounds like b.s. to me)
My friend is starting a workout program where she lifts weights at a very slow pace for just 20 minutes. The only catch is that she is only supposed to do this twice a week... which would total just 40 minutes a week working out and lifting. No cardio. Just 40 minutes. She said apparently this is a way to lose a ton of…

50% protein, 30% carbs, and 20% fat. HELP!
How can I have MyFitnessPal track these percentages so that I can follow the "Fat Shredder" diet? Is there any way to add these percentages into my diary? Thanks in advance :)

P90X Help Please :)
Hey everyone! I am starting either P90 or P90X soon, but I am unsure which one I should choose! I am pretty active and go to a 100 minute hot yoga class every day, so I am strong, but I don't want to tire myself out too much by jumping right into P90X. I want big results, but I also want to be able to stick with it! Anyone…

What in the world do you do when...
Someone who is at least 100 pounds more than you calls you fat? This girl has called me fat to my face almost 5 times now, and I've finally had it! I don't want to be rude to her and go off on her by comparing our bodies because that is neither positive or productive, but I never know how to react! Has anyone been in this…

Anyone feel free to add to me! I would love some support and would love to give it back to everyone who needs it. Especially people in college, it's so hard for me to go out and not have a drink and a late night burger. We can help each other through this! Time for our life changes! :happy:

New Scale Blues
So I weighed myself at home, and the scale said I was 186 before I started any part of my work out program. When I came back to college, I bought myself a new (and cheap) scale. The scale said I was 194 pounds, even after a week of dieting and working out! How can I figure out what I really am and if the first scale was…
