Thoughts on PCOS, Trauma, ADHD, and attachment styles
I feel like I'm all over the place with the vast amount of information that is being thrown at me all the time. I'm trying with this post to put it all in one place the different themes I'm seeing pop up for me over and over again and hoping some kind souls want to discuss their thoughts on this. I have PCOS. One of the…

Is this a disordered eating thought?
I've been on mfp quite awhile but I took a break. Found out I have PCOS. Lost about 10 lbs, finally after being on metformin for a few months. Got down another 5 by watching what I ate and now, I'm bouncing around at that 5 lb weight loss, I gain and lose it every week or so. Today, after going to a football party at a bar…

My motivation picture
A few months ago a friend took a picture of us before I moved away to Louisiana. She is on the left side, I'm on right with my new blonde hair. I'm super embarrassed. My friend has been on a weight loss fitness journey for quite awhile now. She is truly inspirational. But this pic is really inspirational for me. I want to…

Lafayette, Louisiana

BUT....I've been given a terrifying, exciting, umm..."opportunity." My long-term S.O. and I just moved to Lafayette, LA. I am rather shy, play things really safe and yet, I need to…

I'm being honest...
I realized to today that I created a Fitness Group for people near me 2 years ago. In that 2 years I have GAINED weight. I know A LOT about weight loss. But for some reason, I just can't get it right. But this is where honesty comes in. 1. I like to eat while I read or sit at my computer. I know that this is auto-pilot…

Really having trouble with food
I've been on here a long time, and now I'm just not sure what is going on. For the last couple of months I've been finding it to be nearly impossible to stay within calories. I might get through one day of staying within calories and then instantly screw it up the next day. So here's all the info I can muster... I'm…

Boys need not apply. lol PMS Question.
So how does it work? When following a diet, with an average planned weightloss of about 2 lbs a week, where does the weight actually come off when we can fluctuate by two lbs or more if we are weighing daily. Explain this PMS thing too. I know, we shouldn't weigh daily (honestly I forget to weigh myself for a few weeks at…

Android App for Lifting
I'm wondering if there are any good apps for lifting that track your reps and weight amount that I could use easily as a fairly new weight lifter? Any recommendations? I'm hoping for something cheap that will help me tailor a workout to my needs and will increase the weight each week.

What do you think? Want to be my friend on there? I just started the C25K version. I'm super excited about it and did the first week already.

Some slight frustration and a lack of motivation...
I started Zombies, Run! at the beginning of this year, but had to put my exercise and focus on weightloss on hold while I finished school and worked full time. Fast forward three months and I'm up ten pounds and really having trouble getting back into the swing of my everyday workouts. Couple that with stress from my boss…

Kettlebells, good starter dvds?
What is a good starter dvd. I got a set that has 5lb, 10lb and 15lb weights, and has an instructional video, but I'd like something with more direction, maybe some music, and preferably tailored to women....even though I know it really doesn't matter. Any suggestions?

Body Flow Class Issue and Barefoot Revolution
I really am liking my Body Flow class, which is a mix of yoga, pilates and tai chi. However, I'm having major pain during the "standing strength" section, which is all about balance. My insteps hurt so badly, I have to stop. Would taping help? Am I doing something wrong? I spoke to my instructor and, she thought I should…

Classes at the Gym----phobia
I joined Gold's Gym last year and have sporadically gone, off and on. My friend/coworker Danielle loves to attend classes. She goes to zumba, spinning classes, and she does the Tough Mudder. She weighs around what I do, but she's in way better shape and used to love being in sports in high school. She says I should come…

looking for a texting buddy
Hello! I've been on myfitnesspal for quite awhile but somehow I've gained weight while keeping track of my calories. I've been on weightloss forums before and haven't been able to find a buddy that has much in common with me or stays in contact. I know life is busy. I work full time, keep very odd hours, am in school full…
