Volleyball Class in College?
Hi, I'm a senior in college and I am thinking about taking the PE course for volleyball. I would love the structure and would definitely be motivated to work out with my grades and attendance depending on it. Big question though is, am I too fat to play volleyball? I know that sounds stupid but I'm worried and anxious…

Reading burns Calories
So there was a yahoo article today that was talking about ways to burn extra calories (not in an extreme amount but more than usual or whatever without actually exercising). Well, anyways, the number 2 "tip" said that reading a book actually burns more calories than watching tv. Is there any truth in this? I just thought…

Visual Motivation
Do any of you have suggestions on a visual way of keeping up with your weight loss? Like maybe checking off a calendar every day you work out, or some way that you can visually see your progress or the work that you are doing to lose the weight? I feel like I need something I can visually see that shows the progress (not…

Once the ball gets rolling, you don't stop!
So I have been on and off this weight loss/healthy lifestyle band wagon and I really really would like to get it to stick. I have learned that once I put my mind to it, and find my routine of eating healthy and going to the gym I am least likely to stray away. As I am trying to get everything back on track, I wanted to…

Hollister
I know this may sound a little shallow or weird, but I am so determined to be able to fit attractively into a Hollister outfit. Not even just Hollister, but Aeropostle and American Eagle. All these name brands that I say I'm "too broke" to buy when in fact I just can't fit into their clothes. A even bigger goal would be…

Logging Chewing Gum
I just don't even understand. I've seen some of the craziest things being logged for exercise. And no, I am not making up "chewing gum". I have literally seen someone log that. What are some of the craziest things you see people log? And why do people do this? Lol

College + Weightloss = Oxymoron??
I'm a college student, about to move out of my house and into my own personal apartment and I'm so excited to be in FULL control of what goes into my meals and being able to avoid all the "going out" for my meal sources. I was wondering if anyone had either success stories, or methods that are currently helping you lose…

Nike Running
I got this nike running app not to long ago and I love it! (You don't even have to be outside for it to work.) But anyways, I wanted some new friends on it. If you use it my username is muziclver :) I'd love to have some competition Edit: Or try my name Ashley Cote :) bright green sunglasses in the pic.

Gym Classes
What are the best gym classes for a general goal of losing weight? I would also like to tone, but getting the weight off is number one priority and I'm thinking about trying to join some classes but I'm not really sure which ones to take. The gym I use pretty much offers all the mainstream exercising classes.

It All Starts in the Kitchen
So all my life (practically) I've been hovering over the overweight mark. My family isn't the smallest either and I probably just get the poor metabolism from them, but I know I don't eat the healthiest choices either. My family typically eats out every night and sometimes in the middle of the day. Our kitchen is full of…

College Kids, Gym Rats, and Nutrition Gurus wanted!
I've been using mfp for a while now but I had an internship this summer and totally put mfp on the back burner (at least I admitted it!). I'm ready to start full gear now and I really would like some new friends that keep my news feed full of encouragement, tips, their own struggles, etc. Right now must of it just says…

That "Revelation" Moment
I'm just curious to see what one moment made you realize "I need to fix my diet" or "I HAVE to get this weight off", or even "I MUST get healthy quick!". What was your revelation moment that made you decide you had to make a drastic change in your life style? For me, the major realization came when I had to move a size up…

Series of Serious Questions :
I am fairly new to the system of myfitnesspal and I am trying to learn the best ways to incorporate the right lifestyle for me. I have a few systematic questions that I would greatly appreciate some input, comments, or advice on. 1.) Weigh-Ins: Do you only record the losses or both? Also, is every day weighing too much?…

Texting Buddies 18-28
Sorry for the age discrimination here, but I am looking for some people that are around similar stats and AGE. Finding both in one person has been a little difficult for me lately. I'm starting to branch out and inquire as much information as possible to help me form the healthiest lifestyle that fits for me. If you are in…

Weigh in the MORNING
I see people often freak out about their weight going up drastically and they get discouraged. My guess is you weigh in at an odd time in the day. I've never experienced the odd weight jump until last night and I thought I would share it with you for those of you who are addicted to your scale. Last night at around 9:30 pm…

First Ever Before Picture
By me posting this on a very public thread, I am overcoming a HUGE self-esteem issue. I never show my stomach, I avoid all bathing suits, and I just try to not even look in the mirror most of the time. I have realized that I must face the facts and face myself if anything is going to change. By taking this picture I…

Vitamins: Yay or Nay
I've never taken vitamins although I've seen quite a few advocates for it around on this website. I'm thinking about incorporating those into my diet considering I know that I do not get the appropriate amounts of fruits and vegetables in everyday. Also, I don't like drinking milk so I know my calcium is not what it should…

Couple Routines
So I've been hitting the gym pretty frequently (5-6x per week) and my boyfriend has started going with me! (: Except, he isn't trying to lose weight, more like bulk up. Yesterday we were doing this sit up machine, and one of us would stand at the others feet and we would pass the medicine ball back and forth while doing…

Seriously, who's DL is right?
Just for kicks and giggles, what does your driver's license say you weigh compared to what you actually weigh? I weigh 220 and it says 150 (which was only 20 less from when i got it at 16 lol)

Weak bones?
I've been going to the gym recently pretty often. I constantly do cardio (mostly raquetball) and by the end of the night my shins (sometimes ankles) start aching. But it's not in the way that they are sore, but literally HURT to the point where I don't even want to walk. I ignore it and continue doing the work outs but I…

I love seeing motivational things, real life struggles, and every day things that makes me feel more like I am doing this with real people and sharing my experiences with people as well.

Yoga Yoga yoga
I'm considering getting yoga incorporated into my fitness routine although I'm concerned about my flexibility. (It's borderline pathetic) Any beginner tips, videos, books you can recommend? I also have short amount of patience when it comes to things that I suck at, so something that eases you into it would be nice. For…

HOT TEA
So, I'm a southerner that is addicted to sweet tea. I'm trying to get away from that a bit and I'm trying to find some HOT teas that I can drink in the morning. (Hate the taste of coffee). I tried this Zao Mint Tea, it tasted like hot water with an after taste of mouthwash. I don't particularly like fruity drinks so I want…

Tattoo Reward
Has anyone made getting a tattoo your reward for a goal? (A very first tattoo perhaps?) I have a tattoo I'm getting as a reward that I've wanted for a long time on my ribs. But the closer I get to that goal the more scared I get because I don't know what to expect!

Where to start?
I'm sure there's a few of you out there that can relate to this, so I'm asking for your help. Where do you start going from an extremely unhealthy lifestyle that consists of mostly fast food and EVERYTHING you shouldn't be eating to the fruit-munching health nut. I would LOVE to be someone who enjoys healthy foods but I am…
