Lost Motivation
Hey all, I have been on my weight loss journey since June 2012. Then, I was at my highest weight of 170 lbs at 5'3 and living a very unhealthy lifestyle. I worked hard at eating right and exercising, and in 3 months I lost 35 pounds. I was so proud of myself. During this time I was unemployed and looking for a job, and in…

What to wear to a formal sweet sixteen?
My cousin is having her sweet 16 in a couple weeks, and her parents are going all out. They're renting out a club, hired a dj, and are going to have a chocolate fountain and all sorts of other stuff. The dress code is formal and I was wondering what you guys thought of this dress for the occasion. I think it might be too…

What to wear to a night club?
The club is in Daytona Beach, Florida. Does this look horrible on me? I don't feel very confident in it, so I'm here for a second opinion. Please be honest, but not mean! :/

Logging "Cooking or Food Preparation" as Exercise
Lately, I've noticed people on mfp have been logging "cooking or food prep" as exercise in their diaries. My question is: is this accurate? I work as a cook at the local hospital and I have 8 hour shifts of cooking for hundreds of people, which involves a lot of heavy lifting and other manual labor. However, I am worried…

The CR500 diet?
I was just on facebook and noticed one of my good friends posted something about starting the "CR500 diet". I looked it up and it sounds like you're only supposed to eat 500 calories a day. Am I wrong? And should I say something to her? I don't want her to starve herself... Any and all input on the topic is appreciated.

Censorship on MyFitnessPal Forums
I want to know everyone's opinion on this. Who supports censorship of the forums on MFP, and why? And who does not, and your reasons why as well. Personally, I do not support this censorship... We are all adults who have our own opinions, and this is a melting pot for all age groups, stereotypes, cultures, and countries.…

one month progress picture -8 lbs, 11.5 in
Almost a month ago, I was halfway through the 30 Day Shred when I hurt my ankle during one of the cardio circuits that requires jumping. It put me off working out for a few days, so I resorted to doing sit ups, reverse and oblique crunches until my injury had time to heal. I've been working out 7 days a week for the past…

I feel full at 1200 cal?
I'm 5'4 and 165 lbs, and I can eat clean healthy foods and feel full at 1200 calories. After reading all these "eat more weigh less" threads, I'm wondering if I will be able to lose weight eating this many calories a day? My bmr is 1500 and I know if I should eat at least that, but I don't want to force feed myself or feel…

Exercising with chronic back pain
I've been experiencing chronic lower back pain for a long time, and working out is seemingly impossible at times because something as simple as standing can be difficult. However, swimming works wonders for me as it's very low impact. If there's anyone else who suffers from chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain, what do you…
