Going river floating...what should I wear?
I'm going river floating in Northeast Oklahoma over Labor day weekend. Being a fat girl with a tummy and large breasts, I'm a little self-concious about what I should wear. Any suggestions for swimwear? And what should I do about shoes? I mostly own flip-flops for the beach...but what should I buy for the river?

Strange experience
This occurred about 6 years ago. I cannot explain it, and it still puzzles me to this day. I was laying in bed and was slightly awakened from sleeping. I had this feeling that I was being watched. My bedroom was mostly dark, however I could see due to the street light coming in from my window and light from the hallway…

Free Randy Blythe!
Randy from Lamb of God is being held in the Czech Republic on a manslaughter charge from a concert in 2010. It's being said that a death of a fan that jumped on stage was caused by Randy pushing him off. There are multiple YouTube videos that show the security guard being the one who threw the fan off of the stage after…

Any sleepwalkers out there?
I have a history of sleepwalking up until I was about 13 years old. I figured that I have grown out of it. I've had a few incidents where I've had some intense night terrors and have even talked in my sleep. Lately my sleep has been strange. I can only sleep about 5-6 hours when on days that I work (I work night shift) and…

Lady problems :(
So...here's some major TMI but I need an opinion from anyone that might have had this problem or something similar. I skipped a period last month and haven't had one since May 25th. I've been on constant birth control (low dose pills) for about 3 years. I have always been regular (every 4th Wednesday it would come), but…

Gluten-Free Birthday Cake?
Hey, everyone! I'm looking for a good brand of gluten-free cake, or even a recipe for a decent gluten-free cake. My boyfriend is on a gluten-free lifestyle and has a birthday coming up. I really want to make him something nice and tasty. Any suggestions?

Rudi's Gluten-Free Bread
Has anyone tried Rudi's Gluten-Free Bread? I'm curious if it's good. I have tried Udi's, which tastes like bready goodness. I'm starting a little gluten-free challenge soon so I want to try some new things. Let me know! :)

Protein - How much is too much?
I've been having a bit of an issue with protein. I've read about the dangers of eating too much of it (such as overworking the kidneys and sending the body into ketosis). I've been eating nearly double of what MFP suggests. For instance, on Sunday, my alotted amount on my diary is 66 grams, however I consumed 133 grams. I…

Dehydration can lead to obesity
I've always had issues with not drinking enough water. Growing up, I was more partial to juice and soda (of course, the highly addictive junk infused with High Fructose Corn Syrup). I figured stuff like that was liquid, therefore would keep me hydrated. I now can't go without at least 4-5 16 oz bottles of water a day and…

Breaking out!
I've noticed that since I've started walking, running, and doing 30 Day Shred, that my skin has been out of control! I've been told that it's just my body pushing out the toxins and such, but it's really annoying! My daily skin routine involves using a makeup removing cleanser (Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser) to get rid…

Heart rate monitor
I need to find a really good heart rate monitor. I'm currently doing 30-Day Shred and want to know how many calories I'm really burning during the workout, rather than the rough estimates I'm getting while doing research on the internet. Also, I want to get back into hiking, however am just curious about the actual calorie…

Becoming part of the community
Hello everyone! :) I'm Colleen. I've been a member of MyFitnessPal for quite some time but haven't really used the site much. I am a member of another food diary website (one that I pay for) that I have been a diligent user of. I decided to come back to MyFitnessPal to gain more motivation from members of the message…
