Dear 100# Loss, Happy Third Anniversary. Love, Me
On August 5, 2011, I met my goal weight, having lost 100 pounds since joining MFP and 114 pounds from my highest recorded weight (not that I made a point to step on scales frequently at that point, so it may have been higher at some point). Today, exactly three years later, I weigh what I did that day. At one point, I was…

Coffee, champagne, boobs, and dough (both kinds)?
The absolute only thing at all that this post has to do with MFP is that I met my soon-to-be husband on here. Other than that, it's wedding etiquette. Probably better asked on a bridal forum, but who could possibly answer my questions better than someone who just gave a profound response to the "The person above you! Bang,…

Success! (the redux)
Once Upon A Time… (way back in 2010) There was this girl. She was fat. She was depressed. She found myfitnesspal, learned to eat well, and discovered the joys of exercise. She got fit. She got strong. She got bendy. She was the poster child for MFP Success. In fact, she even found love with a fellow poster child for MFP…

MFP changed my life
This post is a success story (two, actually), a love letter, and a thank you letter. Hopefully, I can become a success story again someday. First, some background... 965 days ago, I decided to change my life. I have told much of my story many times before, so you may already be familiar with it, but here’s a brief summary:…

1000 days of MFP
1000 days ago, I looked like this: ...and felt like this: I joined MFP and shed a crap-ton of weight. I lost most of it just doing what MFP told me - I ate a deficit, exercised, and drank a ton of water. I made some amazing friends on here. I learned a lot about fitness from these friends, and I transformed my body. At one…

Nutrition while recovering from surgery
I posted this on the general message boards and got NOTHING in response, but someone recommended that I put it here, since the "powers that be" (that would be the genius veterans who have incredible success and study this stuff like crazy) are the ones who moderate this group... I have been on MFP for so long (September…

Nutrition while recovering from surgery
I have been on MFP for so long (September 2010, despite what the date on my avatar says - I reincarnated as this user) that it sort of seems wrong for me to ask a question on the general message boards - I feel like I should know all of the answers or at least be able to search well enough to find them. I don't, though,…

(newbie) Question about possible modifications
I've been doing just Bench and OHP from the program for a couple of months now because I have herniated discs in my lower back and have to be really careful; however, I now have insurance to go get snap-crackled-and-popped at the chiropractor and I am hoping that helps and wanted to give the whole thing a shot. Anyway,…

What I've Learned...
Some of you may remember me. I used to be CoryIda. I was very successful on here and also very social. Over the past few months, I haven’t been either one, but I think it’s time to participate again, at least in the health aspects of this wonderful site.…
