Let's get some challenges or games going!
Hey ladies! I really really want this group to be a great place to go for accountability and support and I think a good way to make it more fun is challenges or games of some sort. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm going to start a little thread for recipes later on today (assuming I remember). I've been getting back into…

Struggling with the past...
I had been doing great for a few weeks and then I had a discussion with a family member that brought up a lot of old feelings and pain having to do with food and undiagnosed eating disorders. The past couple days I've been binging like crazy and I can't seem to shake it. It's gotten bad enough (in my head) that today at…

Welcome to the group!
Hello everyone and welcome (assuming people have actually joined)! This is where we should come together and tell each other a little about ourselves! I really hope this group grows! :)

The group is gaining members!
Hopefully soon we'll reach ten member so we can form activities or something to helps us stay in track! For now, we should all get to know each other in the "Welcome to the group" thread!

Groups for Brides-to-Be
Hello, all! I was browsing through the groups section for groups for Brides-to-be and I couldn't find any that seemed active at the moment. I was hoping someone will see this post and direct me to a nice, active group for support and motivation! I just bought my wedding dress yesterday and I want to stay on track and lose…

Fit Brides Support Group!
Hey all! I just formed a group for those looking to shed weight, maintain weight, or just improve overall health before their wedding day! Though the name implies brides only, it's really open to anyone getting married who might just need a little support on their health and fitness journey! Feel free to join! Fit Brides…

New to the group!
Hello everyone! I'm not sure if this group is really still active since it has been 2 weeks since anyone has posted but I've joined anyway! I got engaged on July 27th at 214lbs and I'm planning on getting married on October 20th, 2017 at about 140 lbs! What are you goals?

Dorm-room Dwellers! Healthy cooking using meal plan???
Hey guys! So, I know I posted something like this at the beginning of last semester but this semester is different because my momma bought me a cute little crock pot for my dorm room! ^.^ So, I was wondering what kind of healthy recipes you guys cook (even non-dorm-dwellers are welcome to respond), preferably using the…

How many times a day should you pee?
Hey guys! I know this might be a bit TMI for some, but I was curious what you guys think, yet again. I did some minimal research and most sites said 8 times a day TOPS but I think that seems a bit low, especially since I drink at least 8 cups of water a day (along with some tea, and sometimes diet soda - which I'm very…

What do you think qualifies as a binge?
I was just curious what everyone's personal feelings were really. I'm learning to be easier on myself as I used to consider anything even the slightest bit over my calorie goal as a binge, but I'm slowly learning that a binge is (in most people's opinion) when you eat more than 2000 or even 3000 calories a day (which I've…

Dorm Dwellers! Campus food?!
Hey guys! I was wondering how everyone maintains a healthy, balanced diet while a way at school? I try to keep low cal foods mostly and eat fruits and veg, but I find it pretty hard sometimes as my school has terrible produce. This semester I've been eating a lot of lean cuisines :( At least they're low call, right? Do you…

Tastiest Low Cal Protein Shakes
Hey everyone! I was wondering what everyone thought was the yummiest protein shake that is still pretty low in calories. I'm currently using Pure Protein Rich Chocolate and I used to love it but now it just kind of grosses me out for some reason haha idk (maybe it's because I only mix it with water). Anyway, I was…

Family Members that try to keep you/make you fat...
I assume everybody has these. This is more of a discussion than an actual rant or question or anything like that. Today I successfully made it through a day with my mother and my aunt without having anything terribly unhealthy! That is such a NSV for me! At one point, my mother even tried to feed me reese cups, but I…

Plateaus are the DEVIL!!!!! 666
Sorry if the title freaked you out, I've had a little too much sugar today. Anyway, I've been stuck at the same weight since the 30th (well, I've been going back and forth from 190.6 to 189.6 over and over) and it's super obnoxious. I've been trying to keep my diet consistent, but I'm really wondering if it could be due to…

Feeling antsy when not working out
Hey everyone! So, I'm pretty new to the whole exercising everyday sorta thing, previously I would workout 3 or 4 times a week only and now I do about 6 times a week, and sometimes for more than an hour. I've noticed now that I feel incredibly antsy when I'm not working out - even on days when I've already worked out! Does…

Tell me if this sounds crazy - - it probably will!
Hey guys, I was just calculating how much of a deficit I would need each day to get down to about 175 by the time I move back to school ( August 23). So I calculated this all out and according to my calculations I'd need a 1,750 calorie deficit each day to reach this goal, and since my minimum calorie intake is 1250…

Bingo Wings
Hey everyone! (^.^)/ Does anyone have any good tips on getting rid of 'bingo wings'? I'm wayyyyy too young to have them and the only low intensity workout that I know is supposed to get rid of them are kickbacks I think (not even sure this is what they're called, hah) but I use a 6 pound weight to do this? Any tips or…
-
Water Weight
Hey everyone! I was just thinking about what I could be doing in order to increase my chances of weight loss and I was thinking about water, obviously (see title above). On any given day I can drink anywhere from 10 to 19 or even 21 cups of water all spread out through the day. Now, obviously I know drinking more water is…

Calories burned working out
Hey All! I'm already relatively sure of the answer to my question but I just thought I'd ask you all before I made my full decision I suppose. My exercise bike says that calories I burned are lower than what My Fitness Pal says I've burned. Should I go with the bike or MFP? I've been going with MFP because it also factors…

Does anyone ever feel like they can't stop obsessing?
Most days I feel like all I'm thinking about is losing weight. I either have trouble reaching 1200 calories or I end up eating wayyyyy too much that day, so I aim to get just above 1200 each day, but I feel like all I ever do is think about losing weight. Even when I'm at work or doing other things. I constantly plan out…

Support will make this journey quicker!
Hey everyone! I'm new to the community aspect of myfitnesspal. To be honest, I had no idea it existed until now. I'm really just looking for support I suppose, other than my friends and family members. I kinda of feel embarrassed talking about this with them, or they usually tell me that I don't need to lose weight…

Getting back at it hardcore!
Hey everyone! :) I've been on a bit of a hiatus since about halfway through the fall semester, and while I've only gained about 3 pounds back I'm still not happy with myself. I had planned to be at 150 by this time but I'm still stuck in the 180's. So here goes! I'm restarting and I'm going to make it all the way this…
