Weighing more than you look
Hey all, I was wondering if there was anyone out there that has the problem of weighing larger than you look. Maybe it is just my body image, but at 5'3" and 138 pounds I am technically border line overweight. I am only a size 2 tho! I'm assuming it is just my high muscle composition but I wish I had a REAL TRUE way of…

Self-esteem Help
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or helpful ways to increase self esteem? Since I was about 16 my self-esteem has been awful. I just don't know how to love myself or view myself as a beautiful person. A lot of it stems from some very negative things my parents and other people have said about me over the…

Americans...
Seriously America, can't we get with the picture and use the metric system like the rest of the world? I'm sick of having to convert weights and distances and food conversions. Okay, rant over.

Polar FT4
So I have had a Polar FT4 for a couple months now and it works great. Last week I decided to try it out while I was swimming. It would work fine when I was standing in the water but as soon as I started swimming and went underwater the transmitter would lose signal. I've read that you can wear these while swimming so I'm…

Oatmeal
Looking for some easy and preferably natural ways to spruce up plain oatmeal. I'm not scared of eating a little extra calories in the morning. Extra protein is always okay... ..ready...go! :smile:

Honestly?
I am so over the "size fits all" mentality to weight loss. Everyone is different. Everyone gets different results from the same programs. I'm just SO sick of people thinking that "their way" is the RIGHT way. It is all about what works for you. For me, lifting heavy isn't in the cards. I'm that crazy freak of a woman that…

Dumbbells
I was wondering where you can buy cheap or reasonably priced dumbbells? All the ones I seem to find are SO expensive. I'm looking to get some 15s and 20s. thanks :smile:

"never good enough"
I was just wondering if I'm the only person in the MFP community that never feels good enough. Yes, I know I have some mental issues and most of it stem from my parents and my upbringing. It would just be nice to know that I'm not the only one... When I was growing up, as a bright student and competitive swimmer, it was…

Sugar
Just curious: What is the recommended amount of sugar consumption for the average female. I know with sugar it is a "lower the better" kind of thing and MFP is constantly changing my recommended allotment so I have no idea how much is too much. I usually get around 50 grams a day, mostly from fruits or table sugar as I eat…

Ground Turkey Recipes?!
So my mom went to costco and bought me 4 packs of 1.5lbs. of ground turkey. So currently, they are sitting in my freezer and I would LOVE some recipes for them. I only cook for 2. So far, the only thing I know how to cook with ground turkey is turkey burgers and ground turkey chili. Crock pot recipes would be a bonus! I…

How do...
so many people have pictures of themselves working out? I think I'd get lectured if I whipped out a camera and started taking pictures in the weight room. Anywho, I am super jealous and wish I had some awesome BA pictures of myself lifting. Keep on rocking it out in the weight room :smile:

Am I the only one...
that doesn't freak out when I have a bad meal? Lately I've noticed many people on here having panic attacks because they went 200 calories over, or had a day where they overindulged. It frustrates/annoys me. Yes, I eat healthy a majority of the time, but one or two bad meals or snacks a week hasn't hurt me. Moderation is…

Fat Loss and Maintaining Muscle Mass
I have a question for all you smart folks out there: I am currently aiming to lose these last 10 or so pounds of fat while maintaining my muscle mass. I am an ex-athlete so muscle mass has never really been an issue with me. I was the 12 year old girl that was constantly being asked how I got such big guns. I guess it was…

Best NSV EVER.

Mini Rant

Heart Rate Monitor Help
Hi all! I'm very interested in buying a heart rate monitor to judge my calorie burn during workouts. What do you recommend? I'm a student so cost friendly is important. Nothing crazy, just effective and cost efficient. I don't necessarily need all the bells and whistles but if it comes with that, I won't complain! Thanks :)

Great Website
If anyone is like me, you wonder what you really look like. Personally, I have a lot of muscle so I weigh MUCH more than my size and look which is difficult for me to deal with. I found this website where women upload pictures of themselves along with their weight, height and pant size. You can enter in your own…

Weighing In
Who all out there weighs every day? every other day? once a week? once a month? I used to weigh myself everyday but I found it would get very discouraging do to daily fluctuations (mostly in water weight). However, I'm scared that if I don't do this I may not catch a problem before it starts. I suppose it will give me more…

Frustrated!
I know this isn't a big deal but I see people all the time that "say" they weigh less than me (at my height) but I know I am so much smaller (and in better shape than them). Yet because their weight is smaller they are "better." I'm 138, 5'3" and a size 2. I have my goal weight set to 120 but I have a feeling that if I get…
