Motivation Monday
So I went on vacation this week. As to be expected, I probably gained five pounds. haha, you can't not have cake for your birthday, okay? My journey is probably a little different than the typical person's as it's taking me years to reach my goal and I still haven't done it. I'm not a one year wonder story. I applaud those…

Workout Buddy
Hey, I know this is a long shot but I thought I'd give it a try anyways. I want to start working out (probably mostly cardio) but would like to have someone to go through it with. My friends all live on campus and aren't willing to come to my neck of the woods. Anyone in the Findlay area up for it?

The glorious world of hockey.
I've had a love affair with the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Colorado Avalanche for the past few years. Columbus because I'm from Ohio (O-H-) and the Av's because their affiliated with my favorite team of the AHL, Cleveland's Lake Erie Monsters. Today I'm on a super ecstatic high because they've announced that Cleveland…

Since starting this lifestyle...
Don't mix up serving size and calories. Just a tid bit of information for you ;) I went to subway for the first time in over 3 years today. I ordered a salad because it sounded delicious. The line was long so I grabbed a nutritional menu while I waited and looked at the different amounts. Looked in MFP app to make my…

I'm not new here.
So, I've been part of MFP for probably going on three ish years now. It has been the reason why I lost the weight I did. This is going to turn into a rant, and I apologize for that now. It's been an rough ride, I'm not going to lie. I've come far, so far that I was 5 pounds from reaching my goal last summer. I was running…

"You don't like you used to be..."
I have gotten this response on multiple occasions when people have found out that I've lost the weight that I have or that I used to be obese. Can someone tell me how one would look if they lost a lot of weight and you could tell? I'm baffled. Thanks in advance!

you know you're taking your diet seriously when...
... you count out exactly 45 little chocolate chips to still maintain your goal. I ate my dinner and I had a little under 200 calories below my goal that I could still eat. I decided to treat myself to some chocolate chips. I laughed when I acknowledged just how ridiculous this might come across to someone else. What is…

Hello! I'm from Lorain County and am thinking about going on a bike trail my next day off of work. I know there are a variety of them out there but I was wondering if any of you have a personal favorite?

Wouldn't it be fun...
if MFP hosted an event in each state to join together MFPers? We could buy tickets to help with costs/reserve spots. And anyone who is part of MFP could attend to meet other people who are working to improve their lifestyles. Success stories could be shared, low calorie healthy meals could be served and it'd be a great…

After a rough weekend this week brings a new workout & diet plan. New start-Yay! As part of my new start I want all new music on my ipod. Since the MFP community has been so awesome and beneficial to my weightloss journey so far, :smooched: I would be honored if you all would create my playlist. Yes, that is correct. I am…

c25k Plus Sized.
So for some reason this couch to 5k thing has really been calling my name. I'm not a runner, I did light jogging for a month or so before I gave up on that and just did fast paced walking for four miles every morning. My work schedule has switched up having me working crazy long hours so even my walking has dwindled. I am…
