Best time of day to weigh in
So, I'm trying to keep the scale hidden except for weigh-in day every several weeks seeing as before I had gotten addicted to weighing multiple times a day. Now I know that's neither very healthy or accurate. Since I'm allotting a certain day every several weeks, I want to keep the time of day consistent too. When is the…

Excess Skin
Before I joined MFP, I had lost around 60 pounds, and naturally, I have some excess skin now in my tummy area. I know some people need surgery to remove/tighten this....but mine is such a small amount that this is something I wouldn't consider. It's nothing I can't live with, but it does make me a little self conscious.…

Treadmill Calorie Count - Accurate or Not?

Favorite TV Shows?

What are some of your favorite shows? Just to name a very few I love: Modern Family, Downton Abbey, Glee, True Blood, Game of Thrones, How I Met Your…

Unhealthy Diet Recovery
I’m trying to transition myself out of a diet where my calories, fat and carbs were all far too low (dangerously low) and my working out was far too much. I’d been in deep for about five months or so. I’m scared of gaining the weight back, but more scared of what could become of my health if I don’t start getting the…

Looking for support in my journey to moderation!
Hi there, I’m Courtney and I’m looking for some understanding and support : ) I sum this up better on my profile, but I’m mostly here looking to be a healthier me. I’m trying to transition out of a very unhealthy diet routine I got myself into months ago that I know would have ended up harming my body in the long run. It’s…
