Not my first rodeo, but can't seem to make any progress despite my past knowledge.
I was first here in 2012 or so. Started like every other newbie with 1200 calories/day. I eventually lost most of the weight that I wanted to, though it took a good year and a half/two years to do so. I lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 pounds and during most of that time I was exercising a lot (all cardio). As time…

Banning women from running marathons...
...at least this was the rule nearly 50 years ago. For the few marathons that did exist, it was men only, women were not permitted to enter. Here is an interesting article about the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon in April of 1967 (the race was run by a woman for the first time unofficially in 1966). The…

Jimmy Fallon retake on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Title Sequence
Apparently he's taping the show from LA in a week, hence the remake. While I'm a not huge fan, the video is very well done with a couple of surprise cameos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL6baIiRkSg

New Years' Resolution 2015 - Quit Smoking!
Has anyone else quit smoking recently? I've been smoking for (gasp!) 32 years, pack a day smoker, have tried quitting numerous times in the past and I had my last cigarette on the evening of January 1. I'm using the patch and I really hope to make this quit my last. Are there others out there that have recently quit?

Man that's lost 400 lbs. wows X Factor Judges
From wimp.com: They say you should never judge a book by its cover, and Freddie Combs is a living testament to that statement. The 42-year-old minister and singer/songwriter from Johnson City, Tennessee is not someone you'd immediately associate with being successful at a show like "The X Factor". Luckily, Combs is no…

Weight Loss Stupid Tax?
So before you found MFP and learned the right way of going about weight loss, what were some of the incorrect/uninformed/just plan stupid things that you did or believed? For me, I believed that if you worked out (and did nothing else) you would lose weight. This belief led me to join one of those 5 day/week started at…

Workplace Affair Rumors - Based on Fact or Not?
I’ve heard some rumors around the office regarding two work colleagues that are in a different location from my office. They’re both married, and rumor is that they might be fooling around. This is based on observances; things that they’ve done that seem to be beyond what two people in an plutonic office friendship would…

Can your SO access your phone?
Last week on a morning radio show a guy called in because he suspected something was up with his wife of 3 years. Apparently she was always talking and texting, often late at night, but claimed it was for work (I never caught what she did). He wasn't buying it. Both he and the wife were on the phone with the show host at…

I got 99 problems and my cats are 2
DIsclaimer: I'm not a cab n00b but I am at my wit's end. Cat 1 - Devin, 8. Have had him since he was a kitten. Cat 2 - Abby, 3. Same as above. Over the past 3-4 years, Dev's become a bit of a bully - generally not to me, but to my boyfriend (who he's know all of his life) and to Abby. Sometimes he'll chase her around the…

Calling all Female Lifters
I used to belong to a gym, but I never went so I cancelled the membership (I've never particularly enjoyed going anyway). Can I get decent results from lifting at home with minimal equipment? Because of space restraints I wouldn't be able to get much...obviously I wouldn't have a squat rack, among other things. What basic…

For Women to Lose, 1200 Cals is the Magic Number!
This is a long blog post with a bit of NSFW language, but it's worth the read. It outlines the weight loss myths that many women believe, in part because of the way weight loss is marketed to us. It also highlights the methods that are successful - coincidentally the very same methods used by a lot of successful MFPers.…

Quitting Smoking Resolutioners? How's it Going?
Who put "quitting smoking" on the top of their NY Resolution list for 2014? I had my last cigarette in the morning on Jan 1 and so far so good...4 weeks down and approximately $208.00 saved (wow!)! Like most that quit, this isn't my first attempt...I think it's probably my 450th or something. :wink: What's working for me…

Mom wants to keep smoking. What should I do?
A little background. My mom (70) let her health go for the past 2 years, despite getting progressively worse. A fall at home landed her in the hospital & in a skilled nursing facility - she's been away for nearly 2 months and should be released back home soon. During the time she was sick (and for years before that) she's…

Went to use it yesterday for the first time in ages - display started fading in/out. Figured it needed a new battery. Today I purchased said new battery. Installed.

Two Halfs Too Close Together?
I completed my first half on May 5th of this year. Currently training for my next Half on September 7. And then I have another Half on October 19. Since I'm already registered for September & October, this question is a bit after the fact, but I'm wondering now if I scheduled those two halfs too close together? I know I'll…

Sometimes you is all you have
Once upon a time there was a girl that was unhappy about the way she looked and felt. She was unhappy with her life.

For almost a whole solid year…
