Has anyone suffered with Piriformis Syndrome?
Having achieved a huge weight loss through eating properly and exercising my *kitten* off it seems that my body is paying me back. Typically too as I was about 7lbs away from hitting the 'normal' BMI range! During a recent run I started getting a bad pain in the left buttock but I kept going thinking it was cramp and that…

83lbs lost (and still going) with 'before and present' pics
I'm actually about 88lbs in but only started using MFP after a couple of weeks. This has taken about 8 months so far but I'll let the photos speak for themselves but if you want to know just how hard it was and what was involved please have a look at my blog: www.stukp.wordpress.com (Warning: contains the odd swear word).…

I'm sure some of you will say 'man-up' and 'stop being a wuss' etc but any recommendations for…

What's the best/worst thing about losing weight?
I ask this question, as both myself and my Wife started on the quest to fitness and weight loss about 5 months ago and have had some very good success. We don't follow any fad diets but use MFP to track what we eat (healthy stuff 99% of the time) and we exercise in some way every single day. The best things we've noticed…
