Anyone else always getting injured?
I love to exercise - running, walking, weight training, classes at the gym, I love them all. So why the hell am I obese and on a weight loss site? Because I am constantly getting injured! In 2010, I lost about 25 pounds through a combination of diet, 30 Day Shred and learning to run. Unfortunately, I managed to fall and…

Psychology of "eating out"
I just posted this on my blog, but decided that it might be fun to get some perspectives here. After being away for a week on business and a week of vacation, we finally got some groceries into the house - which means that I am back on track with my eating. It is amazing to me what a difference it makes having the right…

Celebrate meeting your calorie goal?
One of the things that has been bothering me about the system here is that it only seems to "reward" you for going UNDER your calorie goal for the day (by saying so and so posted her food and exercise diary for the day "and was under her calorie goal) - rather than just meeting the goal set for you. If the goals really are…

NSV - just bought my first piece of non-plus sized clothing
`I stumbled across a fabulous dress, assumed it would never fit because it wasn't plus sized, but tried it on. It fit! This is the first piece of work clothing that isn't plus sized that I've bought in years!

Just cancelled my membership . . .
After 6 years of frustration, I just canceled my Weight Watchers subscription. Since a friend introduced me to MFP, I've realized that I was paying WW a whole lot of money for nothing. I know that I need to track what I eat and what I burn off in exercising, I also know how much I should eat in a day - so why pay that big…

Do you make sure to match your calories every day or every w
Just wondering, do you make sure that every single day you stay within your calorie allowance, or do you balance things out over the course of the week? So, for example, on Sunday you go for a long run and don't eat all the calories you burned off. On Monday, you don't make it to the gym, and go over by 100 calories, but…

So not impressed
I've been tracking here for 2 weeks. While I had a few bad days, I thought I had balanced those out with exercise. I am up 3 pounds from where I started. This is SO not the direction I need to be heading in.

Any newbie runners on here?
I'm new here - and fairly new to running - so I wondered whether there are others like me on the site. I started to run using the Couch 2 5K Plan - but never made it past week 5 without getting injured or off track. After a bad injury in the spring (torn ligaments in my ankle) I started running again in August and finally…

Well, this web site certainly was eye opening!
I've been struggling to lose weight for 6 years now - going on and off WW, constantly discouraged by my lack of progress there even when I followed the plan to a T. Imagine my shock at the daily calorie target I received on here - several hundred calories less than I've been consuming on WW! So, I've decided to give this a…
