In need of active friends
Hello all! I'm not new to MFP, but I'm working on getting myself back on track and would love to find a few additions to my friends list. My name is Jess, I'm 27, and at the moment I weigh 310 pounds. I don't know what my goal weight is - at this point I am going to be focusing more on rethinking my eating habits and…

Pet lovers?
Okay, so I know that this has nothing to do with the point of the group, but I'm sitting here trying to find ways to avoid doing my homework, and thought I'd see if anyone else here has any pets they'd like to brag about. I am a huge dog lover, and if I had it my way I would have a farm full of basset hounds (coolest.…

Fish
Okay so I typically hate fish. With a fiery passion. Unless it's drenched in batter (beer batter, mmmm) and deep fried until it no longer resembles fish. However, there are so many other things that I 'hated' that I have found that I didn't actually hate at all - they just weren't being prepared right, and that impacted my…

Food etiquette question
I will start by saying that I was raised in a manner that when you visit someone's home and they offer you food, you eat it - no if's, and's, or butt's about it barring allergies or other health concerns. To say 'no' is simply rude. That being said, I am a bit frustrated when it comes to family gatherings. I have a large…

Purposeful Movement
Alright, folks. I have a question for y'all, just out of curiosity! Have any of you found that, along your journey, you've started incorporated some more physical activity to your daily routine that, while it doesn't particularly count as exercise, it still gets you moving more than you did previously? An example I've…

Commitment
I have not been serious about The Thing. I've been kind of slumming through with mediocrity at best - those of you who have glanced through my diary can attest to that. Fast food is like edible gold to me, for some reason, even though I always end up sick after eating it. Logically, this makes none of the sense. Anyways...…

Resistance bands
Have any of you used them? I just had the bf pick me up one since they're inexpensive. All of the exercises on the chart that comes with it look doable, but I'm just wondering if anyone has had success using them.

Realistic calculation of calories burned
Alright. I know that something similar to this has probably been asked time and time again, but I'm a newbie so bear with me please. I'll try to keep it as concise as possible. At the current moment, I am a 24 year old female weighing in at 301 pounds. My exercise of choice is walking, and I have been using the website…

Well hello there.
Hello everyone! I've been logging through MFP for the past month, but I haven't actually ventured to the message boards until now and I thought I'd stop in and say hello! My name is Jessica, I'm 24 years old and I live in Washington state. I haven't determined a weight loss goal at this point, though I could probably stand…
