Fitting into a dress for an event... In two weeks
I'm in a performance group and we all wear the same dresses. I switched birth control 2 months ago and it caused me to gain weight, particularly I went from a C cup to a DD... I have two weeks and a day to get into this dress. It zips half way up my back and then it has like a 1-2 inch gap. I already contacted a seamstress…

I want to love my body but it's so hard.
When I started my first major weight loss journey at the beginning of 2013, admittedly while I said I was doing it to lose weight, it was actually because I didn't like my body and I wanted to be skinny. I said I was trying to be healthy but really all I was concerned with was looking "hot". My whole life I was the chubby…

Getting back into MFP
I lost 25 pounds doing a combination of MFP and pilates. I took a break since school started, haven't gained any weight but trying to get back into it and feeling overwhelmed slightly. I started tracking calories to see where I was at and I have been eating a lot more than I used to while I was losing weight (about 400…

Is this normal?
My daily calorie goal is 1650. Some days I will feel extremely hungry and eat 1700-1800 calories. Some days I will not feel hardly hungry and struggle to hit 1300. Am I abnormal or does that happen to anyone else? Will it balance out over all?

What do you think I should set my activity level as?
So currently I have my activity level set as lightly active. I work a restaurant job (my days vary greatly but usually at least 2-3 days (sometimes up to 6) a week) which is a lot of lifting, carrying things, cleaning and standing for 5 hours a day. Now on top of this I am beginning a fitness class at school 5 days a week,…

Frame size
So if I go by the wrist measurement thing and my height, I am considered a small frame. However I have noticed that I naturally have broader shoulders and back than other people my age. (I don't carry weight in those parts of my body) My shoulders are even wider than my hips. The reason why I want to know my frame size is…

It's 100 degrees and my air-conditioner went out
So like the title says, it's 100 degrees outside and no air conditioner currently, I've been trying to drink a lot of water but I still feel light-headed when doing cardio. Should I lighten the intensity/time due to it being 100 degrees and humid? Or should I just work out like I normally would? I don't want to get myself…

What do you do with too big clothes?
So I bet a lot of you are experiencing the same thing as me--not having a lot of clothes to wear because you lost weight! I was wondering what you guys do with your clothes that no longer fit. Do you donate them to charity, give them to friends, or sell them? I've been selling some of mine to name brand thrift clothing…

MFP has my goal as less than my BMR?
I am 18 years old, 5'6, and 160 pounds. I calculated my BMR on a few sites and got around 1600 each time. I put my activity level as lightly active, and MFP still has my goal as 1560? Is that correct or should I be eating more, since I burn calories doing daily activities? I calculate my exercise calories and eat those…

Eating Clean = No wheat?
I am working on improving my lifestyle and eating clean. I watch Brenda Leigh-Turner, on YouTube and her username is LeanSecrets. She says that even if a food says "100% whole wheat" it isn't healthy and it is processed. She says that this food will hinder your weight loss goals. Is this true? It seems hard to me to have…
