Regained weight....Would love to hear your encouraging stories of regaining then losing for good :)
Hello everyone - I've been on MyFitnessPal for about three years. This tool was instrumental in my losing a good 20 pounds about 2 years ago. I have now gained it all back, mostly due to my own fault, though I can feel ok putting just a little blame on aging (I'm now 47) and an antidepressant I'm weaning off of, especially…

IIFYM Veterans? Success?
I'm researching different food plans - so far Real Food and IIFYM are front runners for me. The fat and protein percentages with IIFYM seem really high to me - I mean REALLY HIGH. Have you had success with weight loss using this plan? Thanks.

Calling All 40 Somethings!!!!
I'm 47 now and I'm noticing more and more that I just can't eat and exercise like I used to. I have to be careful when I exercise because I injure more easily.

~~Yoga with Pinched Nerve
I'm currently working on healing a pinched nerve in my neck. I'm definitely not going to do any cardio or anything high impact until it heals, but I'm thinking that yoga might be a good thing to do in the meantime. Anyone with experience doing yoga w/ pinched nerve? Did it help? (I am on pain meds and rest when I can - I…

Doh! This ever happen to you? Back in the saddle?
I've been so proud of myself for the last two months losing 11 lbs. During this past 5 days or so, I have gone over my calories by almost 500 each day and as of today have put 4.5 pounds back on. INSERT LOUSY EXCUSES HERE. I'm now paying the price, but hoping that maybe this is a temporary gain and if I get back in the…
