overeaters anonymous anyone?
Has anyone attended OA? I've been on the fence about it. I know that the religiousness of it can vary from group to group, but I'm looking to add some extra accountability to my routine and there are several groups in my area to try. What can someone expect as a newbie? How are the groups generally stuctured? Did you find…

Obese and Flying
In exactly 2 months I will be flying to Nashville for a work trip. I have not flown in years and am so nervous about being overweight and having that dreaded moment where I'm told I need an extra seat in front of my co-workers. It never happened to me before, but this is the highest I've been. I think the last time I flew…

Weird Weight Loss Idiosyncrasies/Superstitions?
For instance, I've noticed that I'll drink more water in a day if I drink out a certain cup at work over another cup I have. Or, if I wear my neon pink sports bra over my gray one, I'll want to work out longer...anyone else got any fun idiosyncrasies like this?

14 Week Sherambler Self Challenge
My therapist is supposed to have her baby in 2 weeks and then she will be gone for 12 weeks. I'm nervous and excited because we're both looking at this as a test...will I be able to hack it without knowing I'll be checking in with someone every 2 weeks? Will I rise to the challenge, or view this as time off, as some type…

5K Miles for Mutts Training
So I've been training for this 5k. My first time was almost 66 minutes. My second full practice time was 60:57, and last Friday I did 57:27...I was trying for 58 minutes and beat it. I love beating my time each week. It not only shows that I'm getting fitter, which is nice on days when the scale doesn't reflect my hard…

Losing Weight With Your Other Half
Hi, everyone! My boyfriend and I are trying to lose weight together and I'm a little nervous about it. We've been together almost 9 years so it has nothing to do with him knowing my weight (he does) or talking about weight issues (we talk about them all the time) or any of the things you might normally think. We've tried…

It's Almost 90 Days...How Did We Do?
Since this Friday marks the 90 days. I thought someone should start a thread about how we all did on this 90 day journey...What did you learn? How much did you lose? For me, I learned a lot about myself...about my ability to get back on the horse, about how easy it is for me to recommit after getting off track, and being…

Turns Out I Couldn't Commit to 90 Days
Hey everyone. So I don't know when the last time I checked in/logged in but it's been a while, but I'm back. Jeez, I'm so sick of saying that. I feel like a broken record. The last time I took a break from MFP, it was a year or so until I returned. Back then, I wasn't using the community aspect of MFP, so returning just…

Things Could Be Going Better....
Just a quick vent. I weighed myself and the scale if creeping up (284). I'm sure it's just a random fluctuation and I am less than a week from my TOM. But it's just disappointing. I was finally back down to 282, the weight that shows on my ticker. When I picked up MFP again, I refused to change it because it gave me some…

Introducing Myself
Hi All!! 'm 26 and was super excited to see a group for 20-somethings, and then I joined and it seems like there's not a ton of activity going on here, so I thought I'd introduce myself. To tell a little about myself....I've be overweight my whole life. I grew up in a chaotic household and that chaos led me to muffle my…

Lazy Girl...HELP!
So here's a long preamble where I tell you my deal...I'm incredibly lazy. I don't know where I get it from. Perhaps its a rebellion against my always busy parents. Or maybe no one was around enough when I was younger to show me how to clean or that keeping a tidy house takes effort. Whatever the reason, I'm lazy. Don't get…

Introducing Myself
Hi Everyone! I'm so excited to have found a binge group on here. I've been binge eating almost my entire life. I've been in therapy for over 9 months down dealing with binge eating, stress managements, acceptance, and self-love. I thought everything was going great, I hadn't been binge eating (just eating the wrong things)…

Looking for Online Support/Accountability
Hi, All. So I'm not exactly new to FitnessPal, but I've never really reached out, finished updating my profile, or used the full functionality of my the site to my advantage. I've never really posted here and thought it was as good a time as any. It feels...strange and vulnerable. I feel so exposed doing this because, I…

YMCA Pool Membership??
So, I love swimming, but don't have a pool. The gym I go to (Planet Fitness) doesn't have a pool and the main gym in the area with a pool (Workout Club), is expensive and I don't really like it...I've been there before. The website for my YMCA says that pool-only memberships are available, but when I went to check out…
