Back again...oh, the shame.
When I logged into MyFitnessPal yesterday I had a notification that my account has been active for ten years. I've lost a lot of weight! ...but gained back every pound and then some. Once again I'm nearing the highest I've ever weighed and to be honest, I'm terrified. I had to go to the ER this past weekend (pinched nerve…

Gym routine?
I know this may seem silly, but whenever I go to the gym I feel a little overwhelmed by all of the machines and such. I don't really know where to start! I tend to do about 15 minutes on the bike for a warmup (about 2 miles) and 30 minutes on the elliptical. My long-term goals are to lower my body fat percentage to 20-25%,…

Is this even possible?!
I began the year living in Georgia. I worked out maybe 2-3 times a week, just light stuff like playing WiiFit and walking on the treadmill. I also ate mostly gluten-free, lots of protein and veg, and drank lots of water. I weighed about 211 in February when I moved back home to be with my mom; she'd been diagnosed with a…

Hypothyroidism?

I've heard it takes 6 weeks to start seeing results but, other than a 5 pounds loss at the beginning (which I'm attributing to water weight), I haven't lost an…

I want to like eggs!
I used to LOVE eggs when I was a little kid. As I got older, my tastes changed and I couldn't stand eating them at all. I know they're so good for you, so I want to like them. Y'all have any delicious, easy, inexpensive recipes? (I'll note that I don't mind just egg white. It's the yolk I can't deal with.)

Dealing with BDD
I know MFP isn't a big group therapy session but I just want to talk about something for a moment. I have body dysmorphic disorder. I have gotten better in the past year or so, but at one point in my life I was too ashamed of myself and my body to leave the house (ironically, I was about 20 pounds lighter than I am now).…

Sports bras for bigger girls?
I'm currently in a 38DDD and can't find a sports bra in my price range that fits me well. Have any of y'all found one that works for you?

Weight Watchers?
Has anyone had major success with it? I'm trying to do a "free" version via phone apps.
