I wouldn't personally be doing this for…

Metabolism inefficiency?
Hi, I've been at this for 170 days, or so MFP tells me. In the beginning, I admittedly went about this wrong...I was averaging about 1,000 calories a day for probably 3 months. In the time I went from 136-125. Once I stalled weight wise in March, I decided to up my calories to see if I could get things going again. I ate…

Natural body products question
My skin has been breaking out on eczema lately, and my derm advised me to switched to natural skincare products: aka no sulfates, dyes, or artificial fragrance. However, browsing the natural section of whole foods, most of the body washes, shampoos, deodorants smell horrible. Like Patchouli, lavender, peppermint or lemon.…

Airquotes Gym Annoyances End Quote
I've seen at least 10 forums a day on "what annoys you at the gym?" As long as someone is not breaking gym rules, harassing you personally or putting someone/themselves in danger, then why do you care how they choose to exercise?

Feeling Discouraged
I am snowballing here. I fell off the fitness wagon for about 10 weeks, and that resulted in an 8 pound weight gain. That may not seem like a lot, but I'm very small framed and short.
