Accountability Partner
This is a serious request, so no negativity please. I'm in serious need of an accountability partner/coach who can help keep tabs on me. It's not that I have a problem getting motivated, I just have issues staying honest to my diet and workout routine. I'd like somebody who can check in with me once, maybe twice a day and…

NSV's
Post your latest NSV (non-scale victory). Let's see some of the things that have made you feel AWESOME! This morning, I put on a shirt that used to fit me like I bought it at Baby Gap, and it now closes and fits comfortably! Also, got told I look cute by one of my coworkers :blushing:

Motivational Attraction?
I find that having people on my friend list who are fit and have great bods and all that jazz tend to help keep me on track. Sort of a motivation. It's not to say that those who are in the same boat as I don't inspire me, but I feel like visualizing what you want to become makes it easier to get along. Am I the only one??

Where my 20-somethings at?!
21 here, looking for motivation from people around my age group. I've struggled with weight loss for years but after a recent doctor visit, I know this time around is for the long haul! I've got some weight to lose, but anybody is free to add! Us with more baggage need some kind of motivation from those who are more…

"Jogging"?
So I have wondered over the past workouts I have done.. I feel like I'm jogging (moving faster that I normally do, both feet off the ground at the same time) but am I really jogging? Or is it a personal thing? Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Days "Off"?
I'm a fitness newbie.. What do people do on their "days off"? I feel like if I stop, I might not start again! I did 30 minutes of cardio and around 30 minutes of moderate weight training yesterday, and I'm actually motivated to do it again today. I'm sore, but not that bad. I feel like I should at least go to the gym after…

Week 1 Day 1 Complete!
So I went to the gym today and did Week 1 Day 1, and it wasn't as bad as I thought! Definitely easier for me to keep pace and push myself running on a treadmill as I tend to make excuses when I'm outside (it's 75 degrees, what if I get a heat stroke! :laugh: ). I'm gonna do it! :smile:

Keto diet?
Curious about a ketogenic diet plan, specifically the Atkins. Looking for those who are or have been on this kind of diet plan, and any sort of advice or starting point. Much appreciated!

Time issues?
I know people say "If you don't have the time, make the time", but between working full time on the night shift and being enrolled in school full time, my extra time is almost always spent sleeping or catching up on things I'm behind on. I wish I had 1-2 hours a day to go to the gym, even if only 2-3 times a week, but it's…

Any Gleeks out there??
Just curious.. Love Glee and I'm always looking to chat with others about it. Feel free to add me! :)

Embarrassed to get fit?
Not sure if I'm the only one with this problem so I thought I'd ask.. Long story short, I am sort of embarrassed for people to see me attempting to get fit. I live in a small town of 2,000 people, so everybody knows everybody. And everybody knows everybody's business. And for some reason, when I am out in public for a walk…

"Best" protein supplement?
Ok, so I think I'm going to cave and get a protein supplement. So I get online and search... "Protein supplement". Easy enough, right? Until I saw that there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of different protein supplements. Suggestions?

Bad at giving compliments?!
Anybody else have this problem? Seems to get me every time, especially with the ladies.. :grumble: :blushing: Honestly, what am I supposed to say? "Nice face, I really like the way your nose is attached under your eyes." LOL

Pain, back of knee?
I recently started walking and lightly jogging to get some cardio into my routine. 30 minutes or around 2 miles a day is what I was doing. But, the one day I decided to really stretch before I took my walk, I got a really bad pain on the back side of my knees. Almost felt like a ligament was being overstretched. I could…

Considering quitting...
my night shift job! I don't know if I was made for this kind of work. I'm a dispatcher at my local sheriff's office. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and the kind of work it entails. But all it takes is one day of staying up too late after my shift and I'm screwed on my sleep for the next 3 days.. I stayed up way too late…

Is protein necessary?
I've been doing some research on the effects of protein powder and supplements on the body, and while some of the benefits are good, I've seen a lot of warnings about over consuming protein. Things like kidney stones, keep me from buying any sort of protein powder and using it. Anybody have any real long-term experience…

Image Issues...
I've always had issues with my body image and am hoping that will change with the help of a healthier diet, more exercise, and keeping up with my MFP. Looking for friends who share this or would like to help me along! I'm pretty mutual with motivation and support as well. Gracias! :happy:

College guy trying to get fit!
Hey y'all! I'm Daniel. I'm 20 years old and am looking to get into better shape. Just looking for friends and motivators (especially motivators!). Also looking for anybody who works graveyard/overnight/third shift. I am a night emergency dispatcher and would love to meet other people with similar schedules. Trying to take…
