So you've met someone, now what?
Well, I think it's happened. I've actually met someone in real life (lol), and after several disastrous dates, I feel like I've finally met that person that could really be someone special in my life. That being said, I'm a little terrified of screwing things up! As someone who is knew to dating, how often should you…

New Year's Pic - what a difference 2 years makes!
I hope everyone had a great New Year's! This year marked the first year I went out since 2009, and I was so excited to get all dressed up and celebrate with friends. As I was going through my pics, I started to reflect on where I was that last party and thought I'd do a comparison pic. 119 lbs down size 24 to size 8/10…

healthy or obsessed?
So when I started this whole weight loss thing I was reading this book that told me that my food cravings would eventually switch and instead of eating crap all the time I would start to crave healthy food. Today I wouldn't say that is the case but because I am so much more aware of what I put in my body I tend to choose…

for the ladies: anyone have tummy success stories to share?
I was just wondering if anyone has had success with toning that awful tummy area? Even though I've lost lots of inches in the mid section sometimes I feel like I will never get that toned belly I really want, especially after having two children. I'm sure it's possible, but I'm hoping for some inspiration here.

OMG I`m allergic to veggies!
Since I`ve started watching what I`m eating, I`ve been making a lot of salads. The kind that have everything in them but the kitchen sink! Fruit, nuts, veggies, protein, I add it all, and they are delicious, but I seem to be having some weird reaction to certain fruits and veggies when they are raw. Carrots, apples, snap…

Sometimes it goes deeper than food and exercise
I have been on mfp for a few months now and have come across several wonderful people who have had problems with their weight loss journey, despite eating better and exercising more. I am not a doctor, or a psychiatrist, but I wanted to share something that has had a tremendous impact on journey. There is a fantastic book…

half way there

I was tired of the excuses I was giving myself and have been trying my very best to follow a healthy lifestyle using this wonderful app and a regular exercise program, including outdoor bootcamp and home videos. At my heaviest I was a size 26 and 290 lbs... now I'm a…

fingernails
I know I saw a post about this awhile ago, but for the life of me I can not find it. I've noticed, since I started really watching what I was eating, that my fingernails have taken a turn for the worse - they are peeling like crazy. So I figure I must be missing something from my diet. Any suggestions?

for the married peeps...
How has losing weight, especially if you had a substantial amount of weight to lose, affected your marriage? I ask because, as a woman who has been married for nearly 12 years, I often find that my husband brings things into the house that he knows I should not be eating (ie a whole black forest cake). Now he does this on…

Fitness as a career?
I was just wondering if any of the peeps out there have continued the inspiration of their weight loss journey into a fulfillling career in the field? I am considering pursuing this after my youngest heads off to school and am interested in hearing some successes and/or challenges that anyone has faced.
