Tips for someone cutting sugar and dairy
Hi everyone, I talk a lot so I’ll try to make this brief! I had a major sugar addiction that I just kicked by doing a “detox” of everything with dairy or added sugar in it. All of the headaches and fatigue settled after sometime, and now I’ve let simple things like white bread back into my life, but am for the most part…

What ways do you secure your long hair when you exercise?
I'm not necessarily asking because it gets in the way, but because it makes my head hurt! I wear my hair down at all times when not exercising, but when I'm jogging or doing weights I have it up, and I get headaches due to the pull. I constantly pause between reps to take my hair out of the ponytail and give my scalp a…

10g of carbs a day!
I was chatting it up with a coworker at my old job one time and he said that he found miracle wraps at whole foods that were only 2g of carbs each. This fueled a diet he had found and successfully completed: only eating 10g of carbs a day. He would eat 5 wraps over the course of his day, each piled with as much deli meats…

Lifting weights while losing weight?
I am a lurker on the forums (on here daily, you believe it!) and believe me, I wouldn't be posting on this issue if I already had hard evidence on which answer is correct..nBut I have heard both sides of lifting weights while losing weight: to wait until you're done losing weight, and to not wait until you're done. I have…

Significant Other NSVs? :D
I lost over 40 pounds last spring to end my Senior year of high school, which was a huge feat for a girl who thought she would be "big" all her life. I then picked up a really nice looking, charming fellow, and have stuck with him ever since ;) Needless to say, I settled down (after all, the one I loved most thought I…

Why can people of the same height/weight look so different?
I'm 5'11" and often take extra note of the success stories from people of the same height. I'm currently 170lbs with a goal weight of 150, and am shocked to find girls of the same height at 170 that look so much tinier! Then, I see girls that are around 150 that look just how I would want to. And furthermore, I heard a…

Have you found vitamins, etc. that help aid your journey?
After a half-a-year break from weight loss, I have been trying to regain losing 2-3 pounds a week again like I did the first time around. I've been playing around with my foods, the types and amount of calories, and trying to get more activity in. And then, this week happened. I'm pretty sure I've eaten something from…

Vegan food ideas?
I need vegan food ideas that aren't just mock non-vegan food recipes! I have seen recipes for vegan cookies, cakes, pastas, pizzas, the list goes on and on, that are much higher in calories than just raw/clean eating. However, I want to go vegan again, and before I was eating things like vegan cereal with soy milk, baggies…

Lose more weight by competing?
Is there anyone else out there like me who is on the other side of the motivational spectrum? As in, the one side being that some people need lots of support from others, whether the other people are losing weight or just a friend or family member, and that helps them blossom and lose weight. The other side being that some…

Here we go again!
I joined MFP February 2012 and successfully lost 46lbs by July 2012. I had to take a break when I went to be a camp counselor and never returned, unfortunately. Since then, I have gained a bit of the weight back (7lbs) and have had enough of it. I cannot go back, I refuse! I hope this passion can take me through to what I…
