Post your favorite vegetable side recipes!
I need to eat more vegetables. I buy them at the store.. and then never eat them. I'm basically like a 5 year old child in the body of a 30 year old woman. I know I need to eat them, but when the time comes, I get lazy and don't bother cooking them because I know I don't want them anyway. Sometimes I'll roast them and it's…

Ready to finally commit to this again & looking for accountability partners.
I've struggled with my weight all of my life. Between 2012-2014 I finally had my huge success and dropped over 100 lbs and got into the best shape of my life. I went from 235 lbs to 128 lbs at my lowest at 5'5". I was working out 5x a week - I could do pull-ups and push-ups and run 5Ks. I got on anti-depressants in 2017…

Some days I still feel fat, ft. The Power of Progress Pictures.

I'm a 25 year old female who started around 235 lbs at my peak (at 5'5"), who is currently sitting around 135! The highest official weight I ever logged was 220, though. I…

I always came to this forum to find inspiration and motivation. Now I'm giving back. Pics inside.
I'm 25 and 5'5". I went from ~230 at my heaviest and I'm currently hovering around 144 lbs. I've been at it for a year and 3 months now. I'd still like to lose another 15 lbs and get more muscle definition, but I'm very pleased with how far I've come! I went from a size 20/22 pant to a 6/8. I used to wear XL/XXL shirts,…

HRM Callibration
Awhile back I found a thread on MFP about how to callibrate HRMs to more accurately display calories burned. It involved a process of finding your TDEE and body fat percentage and doing some adding and subtracting to find the age you should set your HRM at. Does anyone happen to know where that thread is?

Halfway to my goal, down 40 lbs w/ pics.
For the record, I'm 24, 5'5 (maybe 5'6). Starting weight was around 220, possibly slightly more. This morning I just weighed in at 179.8! I got serious about losing weight & getting healthy at the end of August last year. I haven't done much exercising, just mostly counting calories thus far! From June of 2013, probably…

How long did it take you to learn what to eat?
I'm finding this to be the most difficult thing for me. I've spent a long part of my life indulging in food that's terrible for me, and now that I'm serious about completely changing my eating habits, I'm having trouble figuring out what I need to eat. I've been scouring the forums and taking notes on what to buy, but I…

Special K Protein Bars?
I have major issues with having to get up in the morning and make a breakfast for myself. Usually I need something I can just grab and run out the door with, which I realize isn't ideal, but.... I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these special K protein bars? I ate one the other day and it was pretty good and…

Fear of getting rid of "fat clothes".
I'm kind of jumping the gun here, since I've just barely begun my journey to a new healthier me, but I feel like this stupid, silly fear could get in the way. When I start to think about being many sizes smaller and getting to buy new clothes, the idea of this excites me. However, then I begin to think about all the…

Young & determined.
Hey all, I actually stumbled across this site as I was looking for information about weight loss and how it effects tattoos. Then I began snooping around and decided it would be great to have a community to talk to! I'm 21 years old, still a senior in college and have been battling my fat for the past several years. It's a…
