Any other 6'1" women around?
Hi. :) I'm a 6'1" lady with a weight of 271lbs currently. My goal is to drop to 260lbs and then from there on continue eating well and exercising. If I can get to 220lbs that'd be great! I actually have a question about what other women have set their calories at to lose weight. MFP says that in order to lose 1.5lbs a…

Any FPS gamers around here?
Gaming isn't necessarily a good weight-loss muscle-building activity, but it's fun and relaxing for someone like me. :) I adore mainly FPS and RPGs with a little bit of this and that on the side. Here's a list of the games I love to play most. Not all of them are multiplayer, but I'd love to talk about or even game with…

Question for the ladies.
How does being on your period affect your diet, exercise and weight loss? It's particularly hot here in the mid to high nineties as far as weather goes, on the worst two days of the TOM and I can't be bothered to do anything. :( I'm just too tired and sluggish to get up and do something. I also gained back at least 2…

Other people with IBS trying to live healthier?
Before I even start writing anything else, and before you read any further, IBS is not a pleasant condition and talking about it can be unpleasant. If you don't know what it is, IBS stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and causes some serious tummy issues for the people who suffer from it. It's a chronic medical condition…

Freelancer with long and irregular hours
I'm a freelancer in the Netherlands who has clients only in the US. There's a 9 hour time difference between us, meaning when it's 10pm my time, it's just after noon for them. I usually only work between 1pm-10pm my time to manage my life a bit with this, but quite often (like today) I'm still working at 2:30am simply…

Heavy chested women - jumping and running exercises
Hi! I'm currently only doing walking and pushups as my exercise routine, mainly because I'm just getting started and feel I need to build some muscle first and get my body used to exercising again. I've been looking into doing more exercises but am running into two issues: 1. I live in a poorly insulated apartment complex,…

Dropped 4lbs in just a week?
I weighed myself this morning at 124,9kgs (275lbs) and that means I lost 2kgs/4lbs since last week when I started minding my diet, logging and exercising. The kicker is that my TOM is starting today or tomorrow and that I may even be a kilo heavier than I actually am due to water weight (my body consistently adds 1-2 kilos…

Hi! Would you like to be friends?
Half a year ago, I was at 265lbs (coming down from approx 300lbs, which is only due to depression and financial stress) and decided to lose another 40 pounds. But this time the right way, not by starving myself. I didn't have the capacity to fix myself emotionally AND dedicate myself to a weight loss and health improvement…

Walking on crutches?
I started a new challenge for myself three days ago, and due to clumsiness seriously sprained my ankle last night. The doctor says I have to walk on a crutch for the next couple of days minimum, and can't exercise until the swelling is gone and I can walk without the crutch. He does encourage me to move as much as I can…

New & tall
Hi everyone. :) I'm a 6'1" 25 year old woman who's always been chubby and big her whole life. At my height I have the advantage that my weight distributes decently. I'm large framed (my shoulders are pretty darn wide compared to the average woman's!) and that helps when you put on a few pounds, too. It's difficult to shop…
