Seeking advice - Wrinkly Skin in my early 20's
Hey, I've lost a ton of weight over the last several years (105 lbs) and recently, even though I'm losing at a rate about a lb a week, my tummy and underarms have become really wrinkly all of a sudden. Like a sharpei. I'm only 23 and people keep telling me "Oh, it will go away on its own," or to lather up with lotion and…

NSV! Just thought I'd announce it to everyone!
A couple years ago I was a size 22. In December, before joining MFP, I was a size 14. Today, I went shopping for the first time in a while...and I'm in a size 10!

Net Calories vs. Calories. I'm still confused.
Okay, so this is my issue. I work out 5-6 days a week, I put in 45-60 minutes of cardio per workout. If my calorie goal is 1200, and I burn off 450. Can I actually eat 450 extra calories? If, like right now, my net total of calories is 210 after my workout and a little shake, does that mean I have 1000 still to go? Or…

Losing Inches and Gaining Muscle - Girl
Hello! I'm going to start my workout regimen whenever my boyfriend leaves for his next trip. He works out of town and will be gone for 3-4 months, and the whole time he's been back at the house he's been a terrible influence. We've both been lazy and gained weight. I want to take the opportunity while he's gone to get back…
