What does your 2000-2500 calorie day look like?
For my birthday my husband bought me some personal training sessions (yes, I asked for them, no, he was not hinting I needed to lose weight lol). My trainer says I need to up my calories. I've generally been trying to stay between 1200-1500. I was wondering/hoping you might share what you eat? Also, if you eat around that…

I'm really hoping to make a large dent in my weight loss before I go on Vacation in September. I was wondering if you have an elliptical at home, what brand/model is it…

Starting New Rules of Lifting for Women (NRLFW)
Hi, my name is Michelle, and I'm starting NRLFW and was looking for others who are going to start in November or have recently started to do the journey with me, like an accountability buddy. My husband has a lot of equipment out in our barn, so I substitute some of the moves (like doing a bent over row instead of a…

Mid 20's need active friends!
I'm on here quite frequently (I don't have a FB so I guess this is my addiction). I'm not going to lie, I don't go through people diaries so if you're looking for someone to keep you accountable I'm not it. I am, however, very much into praise so I very frequently comment on people status to encourage and support. I just…

Obese but still see yourself thin?
I've always heard about people who lose 100+ lbs but always see their "fat self" when they look in the mirror. But for about a year I always saw the skinny me even though I had gained 75lbs. I think part of that was because of all the weight I gained so quickly during my pregnancy and then the depression that I struggled…

Interested in doing Diet Bet in August?
So I recently discovered the site Dietbet.com and it's a really cool concept and I would love to get a HUGE MFP community to do it! DietBet is a game where you've got 4 weeks to lose 4% of your starting weight. To begin, everyone puts money into the pot (I was thinking $25). After four weeks, whoever's hit their 4% goal is…

mid 20's looking for understanding
Hi! I am trying to find some support using the online community because all of my friends are thin and have never been overweight (but say how fat they are at 135lbs) and it's really hard to feel support when people don't really understand the struggle. They seem to think it's easy to just stop eating and work out for over…

I have been putting ground flax seed in my cereal in the morning to help get some extra fiber in my diet but I find myself burping constantly for the next few hours after I have it. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution to it??
