Ladies- spotting due to change in diet?
Hi ladies of MFP, I have only been on this site for about 2 weeks now, and have lost 5 pounds. I am on Levora birth control pills, and have been for over a year. I am extremely consistent at taking them at exactly the same time every day. I have rarely rarely had problems with spotting before my regular period, but since I…

Two months ago I began to focus my efforts on weight lifting and decided to take some pictures then to document my progress. Tonight, for no special reason really, I took some progress pictures...and comparing them…

I'm sure I'm not the only one to experience this...but when you let your guard down for an entire weekend for whatever reason, it's sooo hard to get back on track. How do you deal with this?

Thoughts on pleatueaing
As I was walking home from the gym today, I had a thought. Whenever a person hits a plateau they are always told to switch up their workouts or increase calories (usually both). It made me wonder, has anyone ever hit a plateau and stuck it out doing their same routine, and then come out of the rut? I was just curious if…

Tall girls in their 20s!
I am certainly not new to this site, but since this is the place to go to call out for friends, I figured I would go here to try to get some more friends who have similar goals to me.
