Need new/more MFP friends
I was pretty inactive on MFP for the past year but now that I'm back I've found that a lot of my old "friends" on here are no longer active either. Just want some more friendly faces and people to be accountable to :D Just so you know a bit about me, I LOVE to dance, am 24 but still living the college lifestyle, and am…

Freestyle Cardio
So after coming off of almost a whole year without working out I just came back this week watching my food intake and being active. I've started doing a pilates based mini-routine with one of my friends to start getting my strength back up but now I am DYING to get back into some heavy cardio. It was at this point that I…

How do I know for sure if my diet is working?
Okay, let me try to word this correctly. Every single time I diet, about one to two weeks into it I start noticing that I look fatter/flabbier. Most of the time I start cheating on my diet by this point and go back to what I normally look like, yadda yadda yadda. Anyways, this time it won't be that way. My weight is…

Calories: 400 Protein: 50g Fat: 13g Carbs: 19g I was sooo stuffed after this meal and still in awe about how great it tasted!!…

Recovering after breaking diet...
So normally I'm awesome about watching my sugars (kind of a given when you're limiting your carbs, lol) but yesterday I was very bad. Had fruit juices, 2 cups of cereal, and a TON of full-sugar full-fat icecream (about 3+ cups?). ANYWAYS!! Now that I highly regret that I'm wondering if I should limit my sugars as much as…

Do you need 1200cal if you...
Lately I've been severely oversleeping and have found it hard to eat my 1200 calories in a day because I'm literally just not awake for that long. I'm working on quitting the oversleeping, but on days when I do I have to wonder if 1200 is really required since I'm clearly not as active. Just curious.

"Encouragement! Yes?"
Hahaha, every single time I hear that I think about Couples Retreat but honestly I think a lot of us need it right now. It's halfway through the month and for a lot of us we may be getting discouraged with our results and coming to the realization that we may not reach our FEBRUARY weight loss goals, BUT DON'T LET THAT…

Week 2 Weigh-In
I know there's about 13+ people who have already posted their weight for 2/15 in the Week 1 post, and I hope those will be uploaded to the sheet too, but I thought it'd be easier to have a new thread. Today's weight 127.2!

Why am I thinnest right after I break diet?
This is something I've ALWAYS wondered but am finally getting around to asking. It doesn't matter what type of diet I do, the first three days after I take a break/quit dieting I am my absolute skinniest and toned!! I just don't get it, maybe I'm just not retaining water for those days after I quit? idk, that answer just…

Starting South Beach today...
I'm really nervous about the first 2 weeks, I KNOW it will be worth it but I'm such a carb addict. Hopefully I won't get distracted by fruits and such when I go to the grocery store today, haha.

I'm so shocked I had to share with everyone!!!
Family just came into town for my nephew's birthday and it was decided that we'd go out to Cracker Barrel for dinner. I was very hesitant on this and figured it would be practically impossible for me to not go over on everything for today but guess what??? AFTER THE MEAL I WAS UNDER ON CALORIES, CARBS, & FATS!!!!!!!!!!…

Dry throat during exercise
So! I finally started Insanity today, but had a lot of difficulty doing it due to an extreme dry throat while working out... in fact, it wasn't just a dry throat but it felt like the dryness extended even deeper towards the lungs. There wasn't any difficulty breathing in the sense that there was no inflammation, it was…

Insanity or Turbofire??
I'm excited to restart exercising after a long end-of-dance-team, graduating, studying-for-GRE break. So when I workout, I love love LOVE high intensity, kick my butt workouts... but I no longer have a gym membership and am looking into at-home programs. The final two for me have come down to Insanity and Turbofire. I'm…

New... ish :)
Heya everyone!! I've had myfitnesspal on my phone for a month or two now and haven't really been using it (nor have I been sticking to my diet as needed, go figure) but a reality check put me back on track. Last week were auditions for the Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders and I was excited after making it to semi-finals while…
