Giving Away Clothes?
Two part question: Is it allowed on MFP to give clothes to other members (meaning addresses would be shared)? Is there a process in place for this? I have a lot of clothes I have never worn, because my mother, bless her heart, doesn't buy my size correctly. I will keep the smaller ones for when I lose weight, but I have…

Wrote a post elsewhere, but I put the relevant part here on MFP at: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TheGoblinRoad/view/bathroom-scales-and-homework-an-excerpt-205686 If you're wondering what a goblin would say about bathroom scales, read on. :)

You WISH
What TOTALLY unrealistic thing (or 2) would you like to be true about food, losing weight, or fitness. The sky's the limit. Just make sure it's unrealistic, absurd, ridiculous, but hopefully...entertaining. My wishes: 1) That eating all the bread and soy "butter" that I could possibly want to eat will make me reach my goal…

Dear Goblin, Advice Column
Just sharing this for your morning entertainment (or non-entertainment, if you don't find it entertaining but read it anyway for some reason, perhaps with hope.) Dear Goblin, My kid's driving me nuts! He doesn't seem to be capable of remembering to put away his toys after he plays with them. I find myself constantly…

My Weight Gain Journey (Goblins, Aliens, and Diet Chocolate
Once I was a healthy child, not even slightly overweight. I did have an older brother who was skinny, so I might've looked a little chubby in comparison, but actually I was really healthy. Then one day, the goblins came in the middle of the night. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "We want to fatten you up, child," said…

Your Motivation Outfit?
I'm not that concerned with fashion, but there are a few things I'd like to be able to wear, that I will wear when I can. I have this Navy peacoat that was given to me, and have never been able to fit into it comfortably. When I reach my goal weight, it'll be too big, but it should last me a while. I figure another 20 lbs…

100 calorie or less vegan snacks to feel full?
I've been experimenting with ideas for vegan snacks that are low and bulky in size. Recent one: 1/3 head of lettuce, a few olives, a few tomato slices, with lite dressing. Other suggestions?

5 Ways We'll Lose Weight in 2050
Since we're inventing even better robots all the time and those robots are going to invent even better robots than they are, and some of those robots will be tasked to develop ways for non-robots to lose weight... (robots themselves don't have an obesity problem yet) 1. We'll be able to lose weight from any exercise we do…

What did your parents feed you when you were a kid?
Dad: More healthy foods, like sushi, salad, steamed veggies and rice Mom: Frozen cheese pizza, Pepperidge farm cookies (sometimes with ice cream), Potato Chips with whipped cream cheese dip, and all the coca-cola I could drink. Guess who I lived with most of the time 8-/

Don't want a beach body!
I want a mountain body. Meaning I want to be so healthy and fit that I feel I can climb mountains with ease, not caring about whether I had a six-pack or not. I feel like the preoccupation with appearance keeps growing, and health as a focus seems to shrink. There are plenty of people who look good on the outside, but that…

One last try...
Hey all- Been trying to get a few members interested in starting a group, but very few post views. I'm sure there's a lot of people that would like to join this particular group, but haven't seen my posts about it. One last try, hopefully more will see this one! :) Original message: Hi all- I'm looking to form a small…

Looking for more 250# + members :)
Started a new group recently. If you're over 250 lbs and want to break through that 250 lb barrier, message me!

Possibly a perfect snack for a salty treat...
...that isn't actually as high in sodium as it sounds. Bought one the other day and thought it was amazing. Acquired taste, though. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51po+l0ko-L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

B250# is awesome! Are you in?
Yeah, it's a weird title, but I already posted this before and no one even looked at the post, so I figured my old post title was too boring! Anyway...

What's the secret to getting posts read? :) My posts are getting zero views lately (and possibly this one will as well) and I can't figure out why... Well, if anyone actually reads this one, here's a link to the post I've been hoping to get responses to:…

Stuck above 250 lbs and want to break through that number?
I posted this elsewhere, but trying here as well: Hi all- I'm looking to form a small group of 10 to 15 individuals who weigh more than 250 lbs, where each member is trying to break through that 250 lbs barrier. I have not been under 250 lbs in a long time. I should be under 200 lbs, but for now I want to focus on getting…

Yoga is better when you make it a spiritual practice
I personally don't care if someone's Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else: I appreciate all religions. I also don't feel anyone "must" be religious, so don't interpret this post as me trying to convert anyone to anything. That said, I just wanted to share: I've done yoga purely for exercise, to get…

Anyone watch that PBS show last night, 3 steps to health?
Saw this excellent program with Dr. Fuhrman. What he said made a lot of sense. Didnt realize until today that it was the same guy who wrote Eat to Live.

The low-diet diet
How's this for a diet? The low-diet diet. You diet as little as possible in your diet. "No thank you, I can't have diets. I'm on a low-diet diet." :)

Treating body like a slave?
I see a flaw with the idea of "I can eat more because I work out a lot and have exercise calories to burn." Here's the flaw in the armor: The more we eat, the more work our bodies have to do with digesting. If we're always giving it a lot of work and so little rest, we're treating it like a slave. Add the stress of a lot…

Bored with food
We've been eating very healthy in our house for the last 2 weeks, following the Eat to Live lifestyle. I'm noticing that right now I'm bored with food. But it's not about being bored with healthy food. All the stuff I would eat regularly before also sounds uninteresting, which to me is actually a very good thing. It's not…
