Problem With Roommates
Before I ask my big question, I need to go over what has occurred: me and my boyfriend (fake names: David) moved from San Diego, CA to Syracuse, NY to live with David's brother (Sam) and his girlfriend (Julie). We knew cost of living was cheaper than San Diego, and both Sam and Julie made the assurance that when we get out…

No Motivation
I have motivation to lose weight. I have motivation to exercise and get healthy. Today, though, it FEELS like I have no motivation or energy to do much exercise. A part of this, I think, is because I'm sore from my core down due to the exercises I did on Thursday and the 95 minute walk I did yesterday. It's early Saturday…

Lower Body Sore - Upper Body Workout or Stretching?
My lower body (thighs, calves, buttocks, and lower oblique) are sore from a workout I did on Thursday that was only for 15 minutes yet left me sore for quite a while. Yesterday so I could get some exercise in without pushing my muscles too far, I went for a 95 minute walk in the 30 degree weather. Today, I'm not sure what…

Disappointed In Myself
I'm quite a bit disappointed in myself. I put on a FitnessBlender video to workout to early in the morning shortly between the time my boyfriend left for work and me going back to bed. I combined this with a fitness workout show on Discovery Fit & Health that plays at 6 a.m. Altogether, it should have been at least a 35…

Dinner Ideas?
I'm looking to see what you guys eat for dinner, or recipe suggestions. I'm opening my mind to new ideas, exposing myself to new foods, and looking for any cooking suggestions. (I'm open to any ideas within expense reasoning, I prefer to stay away from ground beef unless I need to, I love chicken, fish, veggies, and IF YOU…

NO MORE EXCUSES!
I have no place to say anything. I have a goal of 117 lbs. to lose. It's going to take me a while to do it, but I'm using myself as an example. There is no reason to have excuses not to exercise, lose weight, or eat healthy. It all comes down to willpower. I found SO MANY videos on YouTube with exercise routines. There are…

Help Fight Hunger Pains
You know the feeling. That "growling" sensation in your stomach. That pain you feel when it seems like you haven't eaten in a long time. You could have eaten an hour ago and you get it, or twelve hours ago (bad you for doing that, but sometimes you have to). What does it mean when you get this feeling? And what are some…

SlimQuick, Hydroxycut, Lipozine, Etc. on Diet Pills
Do any of these actually work for anyone on here? I'm hesitant to try diet pills because of multiple reasons, usually side effects, effectiveness, and overall popularity. I've done Garcinia Cambogia (I sold the diet pills, so I had to try it to see for myself), and it didn't have much of an effect on me. But then I watch…

Question For The Ladies....
Girls...what exercises would you recommend to do when our "monthly gift" comes to town? I know it's gross and very taboo to talk about, but cramps are kicking my *kitten* and I'm refusing to stay in bed, but I'm not sure which exercises are best to do while coping with cramps, PMS, and fatigue. I'm thinking Yoga would be…

Would you rather ....?
Would you rather: Live an eternal, youthful life but alone? OR Enjoy a passionate, romantic, earth-shattering amazing relationship but it ends with both of you dying together in a couple of years?

Exercise: Does it correlate to one's own mental state?
Okay, to kind of get straight to the point: I'm looking to become fitter and healthier, but in a lot more ways than just physical. Last time I weighed myself (it's been a while since I'm not on very friendly terms with scales) I weighed 255 lbs. I track what I eat, what I drink, and what exercise I do. However, exercise is…

Best Time For Exercise!!!!
Question: When is the best time of day to go walking/jogging/running/exercising? Is it in the early morning, (anywhere from 2:00 am-7:00 am)? Is it mid-morning, (7:01 am-12:00 pm)? Is it the afternoon, (12:01 pm-5:00 pm)? The evening, (5:01 pm-9:00 pm)? Or late evening, (9:01 pm - 12:00 am)? I'd like to know. What is…

GIVING UP SUGAR!!!! SUGAR IS THE ENEMY!!!!! Lol
I need some serious help. After looking back on this past month, (my second month with My Fitness Pal), I realized that although I am getting the hang of things with tracking my food and exercise, I'm making bad choices when it comes to HIGH SUGAR FOODS and either high fat or high protein foods. The sugar is the worst…

Fast Food - Call Out!
Question: for those who like to eat fast food (or it is simply more convenient for many of the on-the-go dieters), what are some good healthy meals/substitutes from many of our popular fast food chains? I'm looking for ways to eat healthier, and although I am willing to give up fast food, I am curious about some of the…

I Hate Break-Ups
I absolutely hate break-ups. Never-mind the fact that if you're in a serious and committed relationship that the emotional turmoil and stress that you go through tears you apart from the inside and out, but it feels like a heavy weight is brought down on you from nowhere and weighs you down -- at least for the first few…

Is it true? Can more sleep make you healthier?
Okay, so I'm noticing a pattern with a lot of people, and a lot of stories that I'm reading. Can an increase in sleep really make and/or help make you healthier? I watched some television last night and a woman who was on the Biggest Loser and had lost close to 100 pounds made a comment about how she "works out, stops…

Body Fat and Body Mass Index?
I am highly curious about this. I tried this new website: http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com It had a BMI calculator and Body Fat calculator based on the The U.S. National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute so I tried it. I calculated my weight, age, height, and it came up to show that I have a Body Fat percentage of 46.18%…
