"You look like you've gained weight!"
In the past two weeks I've had two different people tell me I look like I've gained weight, one of them being my nephew who looked at me and said, "You were skinnier the last time I saw you." It's like, gee thanks! I didn't notice! Anyone else get this a lot? Why would anybody say something like that? :explode:

My latest motivation! :)
Meet Ellie! I was feeling really depressed and wasn't taking good care of myself, so I decided to rescue an animal- turns out the animal shelter had hamsters! They found 18 little hamsters in a dumpster, and one of them was Ellie! Not only does she make me smile, but she's probably the best Fitness Pal I've ever had: She…

Depressed- could use friends in the same boat :(
Hey all...my name's Ally, I'm a college student. I've always kind of had issues with depression over the years but this year it's really been creeping up on me. I'm in my first apartment, working a late night job, and I find I get lonely really easy. and junk food...well, it cheers me up, at least temporarily. I'm also an…

Running Shoes Help
My running shoes (they're Avia's) are giving me a little trouble...I like them, they're lightweight and comfy, but they've been rubbing on the back of my left ankle to the point where it bleeds. I got the shoes my freshman year of high school to run the mile in gym, but barely used them aside from that so they're…

I reached my UGW- now what? HELP!!
Hey MFP :( I reached my ultimate goal weight (finally!) and now I'm absolutely terrified- I don't know how to eat. I've been eating 1200 cals a day for the past few months, counting every little calorie that goes in my mouth. Now what? I know I need to up my cals (especially since I'm going to start training for a 5k and…

"Thinspiration" clothes- clothes I thought I'd never fit int
Thought I would share this with my MFP family. :flowerforyou: I bought this pair of shorts about two months ago. They were on sale and they were so darn pretty, and I wanted them so bad. But they were a size 9, and not a forgiving size 9 either. There was not even the slightest bit of give to the fabric, no “stretch” no…

Just got called fat...hurts every time.
I just started longboarding (skateboarding) as a fun hobby to do in the summer and a way to get to my classes, and someone just made fun of me for it, told me I was fat, and that the bottom of my board probably scraped on the ground when I rode it. That's the hardest thing, when you try to do something nice for yourself…

Help! I'm trying not to eat my feelings.
I had a really terrible day and just want to eat to make myself feel better...is it okay to go over your calories once in a while? Ug. I'm so discouraged. I just wanna eat. It's so hard.

Old injuries flaring up??
Hi! So I'm just starting the fifth week of my eight week running program- I'm working up to running twenty minutes at a time. Right now I'm running 3 sets of eight to nine minutes with one minute of walking in between. I sprained my ankle pretty badly twice in the fall, and now I'm finding that the more intense my workouts…

Going to a group exercise class...alone?
My school offers a number of free exercise classes that I want to take advantage of, but none of my friends care about fitness and think it's a joke that I want to go at all. There's a Butts & Guts class tonight that I'm forcing myself to go to and I'm terrified! I want to go so badly but I'm so afraid of being the only…

Muscle > fat?
I've been awfully good, and staying within my calories. I've been dieting for almost two weeks and jogging for almost five. My weight went down three pounds, and seems to have stuck there. Am I gaining muscle? Is this normal? Anyone else having the same issues?

Anyone know any healthy cookie recipes?
I'm not much of a cook, but I figure substituting splenda for sugar and using whole wheat flour would be a good start, right? I've been hunting for a good oatmeal cookie recipe but I can never figure out the calories and I never know if they're really as good (tasting or health-wise) as they say they are. Anyone had any…

All the single ladies?
I started college in the fall, and gained the freshman fifteen by christmas break. I definitely don't look my best, and I feel like I've let myself go...and when I'm not feeling great about my body, it's hard to feel motivated enough to put on makeup and nice clothes for class-I just want to hide in sweatshirts and…
