Need to vent
My doctor recently switched me to an entirely different birth control pill, with a different mix of hormones. That being said, she had me start taking this new pill before the old pack was finished. So, I started this new regimen a week before I was 'supposed' to have my period. That week is now, and of course I'm not…

So very close to goal
Hi! I'm about 5 lbs away from my original goal, though I'm going to go off how I feel with my body and the look of it. I'm wondering if any of you survivors have some great tips you'd like to share about the last stretch. Was there something you changed/added that really aided you in shedding the last few pounds? - Did you…

NSV: wanted to work out!
Two mornings this past week, I woke up slightly sore and not looking forward to working out. There in bed, I decided both times that I would call it quits and just not work out for the day, and keep up with my calorie/macro-nutrient goals. As is my routine, I lumbered downstairs for breakfast, ate a heaping bowl of oats…

You can read my diary
Hi all! Just looking for anyone to take a peek at my diary for the past week or so and give me feedback! I don't have any one specific problem area that I need addressed -- I just would like to know some varying opinions! Background info: I'm 5'2", 20 years old, started at 140 lbs in May and am now about 5 lbs away from my…

New to strength training
So I tried to research this on the forums but all I got was, why doesn't MFP have a calorie burn for strength training? My issue is that I am quite new to strength training and need to figure out a routine that I can stick to and won't get bored with. I want it to last longer than 5 minutes, too. I will do it from home: I…

Want more friends!
Hi! Rachael here. I'm not new on MFP, have been hanging around here since at least January, officially started my official weight loss in May. I absolutely love the support of the pals I have already, but I find that having even more friends with similar goals will help boost my motivation! I'm 20, 5'2", college student at…

Not entirely what I need
I'm a college student, home with my parents for the summer. I have an older sister who has been somewhat overweight since highschool, and it got worse for a few years. My mother has never been overweight but was not rail thin either. She has never told us that we need to stop eating and get skinny, but she doesn't exactly…

So many different opinions
I've been trying to research the answers to my questions very thoroughly, but still have run across so many opposing opinions and fact-based posts that I still find it hard to settle on a conclusion. These are my questions. 1) Is it necessary to eat back exercise calories? If yes, eat back half? Eat back all? On any given…

Stuck
I'm a college student currently spending the summer at my parents' house, and at first I thought I had unlimited workout options. Lately I've felt a little stuck. I do yoga, occasionally go for walks outside, and my parents have machines in their basement: a weight machine, a basic treadmill, and a stationary bike that is…
