Round Two
Well, I thought I could keep my weight stable without using MyFitnessPal for a while, but late last year I had some major medical trouble which caused me to overeat to compensate for the pain. I'm finally getting back on the wagon to get my weight back down again. So far I've regained 16 pounds. Here's hoping it's not too…

Tightrope Walking Through The 150s Club
Well, I've been under 160 pounds for a week, so I'm officially declaring myself below 160. :-) Who else has made it to this point in the journey? I'm just so glad to be past the halfway point after 4 months of hard work.

30 Pound Shopping Spree (Pics)
Okay, okay, 28 pounds lost so far, but it looks better to round it up. ;-) I bought some new clothes this weekend and not only am I back down to a size 32 waist (previously 36), but I went from a size large shirt to a size medium!!! I haven't worn medium shirts since I was 13!…

Struggling To Get Up To 1200
I've gotten to a weird point in my diet lately. I keep having days where I feel full after only 800-900 calories in that day. Am I really supposed to force myself to get to 1200 so I don't go into anorexia or starvation mode? The food I eat is so ridiculously healthy now that I have to eat a fair amount of mass to hit 1200…

MFP Missing Common Exercises?
Is MFP missing common exercises or are they just under more technical names? I can't find push-ups or pull-ups under either category. I did manage to find sit-ups under ab crunches, though.

Sugar-Free, Fake-Sugar-Free, Chewing Gum?
I want a chewing gum that has no sugar nor fake sugars. I have an oral fixation and if I get too bored I start chewing on the inside of my cheeks if I have no food nearby. I usually just chew on Dubble Bubble but that has high fructose corn syrup in it. I refuse to chew gum that has fake sugars in it (like aspartame)…

How Many Calories Do Stairs Burn?
I've decided to start up getting fit again, this time with the help of this website. Last time I went on an exercise binge, it lasted for 6 months, and over that timeframe I lost 15 pounds. I've gained 10 of those pounds back, so now I'm focusing on both exercise *and* diet this time around. Here's my question: Stair…
