One, Twice, Three times a MFP user! Looking for friends :)
Heeey, So I am a serial fad dieter and sugar addict. Now I've hit 30 and I can't muck around with my health any more. I'm giving this another go, but this time I'm counting by macros instead of just trying to keep within calories. For a long time I was in denial and didn't track my food and just thought I could wing it.…

NSV - Anxiety
So I got back into exercise and eating healthy with great gusto. I've been at it solidly for a week and a bit (missing some days of exercise, but generally being able to eat a lot better consistently). One thing I have noticed is that my night time anxiety has completely gone! I usually have a major anxiety attack 3-4…

NSV - probably silly, but oh well!
My NSV achieved yesterday! I have been doing pilates the last two weeks. Usually, I cannot touch my toes at all, but yesterday, after a friend challenged me to do it, I could not only touch my toes BUT I could lay both palms FLAT on the floor, without bending my knees :D Haven't been that flexible since I was 6 at kiddy…

Sporadic exercise or routine?
Hi all! I realised I tend to be very random and all over the place with my exercise and no day is ever the same.I have 2 rest days, then manic 5 days of random exercise! I just want to try EVERYTHING! Just wondering, is it ok to be all over the place with various exercises, or is it better in the long run to have a strict…

HELP! Housemate ruining my life!
I've known my housemate, Anne, since I was 12. I moved in with her after my Mother passed away, she offered a room and I accepted. In the beginning it was great! We hung out, shopped together and did everything together. Then she started with mood swings. I'm pretty intuitive some of the time, and I sensed something wasn't…

WHY oh WHY do guys yell at girls? - rant
I was just out for a bike ride, and me outside exercising is NOT a pretty sight. Usually I'm sweating, covered in spiders' webs (I couldn't avoid it! YUCK!) and grimacing from exertion. While I was puffing and panting up this hill, a 4wd filled with guys drove past, and they honked and hooted and yelled at me, and watched…

HRM says I burn HEAPS - is this bad?
I only just got a Heart Rate Monitor and have been doing my usual exercises. I'm finding my HRM is saying I'm burning WAY more calories than those in the MFP database. I'm not really in the know about Heart Rate/Calories/Weight but was just wondering, is this normal? I'm finding I'm burning sometimes 200 more calories than…

New and willing to make friends (in a non creepy way) :)
It has taken me 5 years of my adult life to realise I need to make a lifestyle change, so that's how I came across this site. Never exercised a day in my life (before 15 days ago) and never drank water. Also up for making friends and taking on any advice any of you might have (god knows I need it!). My goal isn't…
