Lost my UMPH, help!
Hey all. I'm not new to this weight-loss scene, or MFP. Been on MFP for years, been yo-yo-ing for years.... Seems like every time I bust my butt for a month to drop two pounds, I gain it back in ONE WEEKEND of not going to the gym and a few beers. I'm SO FRUSTRATED that it literally takes 2 hour workout per day, 1300…

Who else has just started lifting?
Hello! I'm really excited to re-vamp how I look at health and fitness by getting into lifting! My friends turned me on during Chest Day (and wow did it kick my *kitten*) and so now I've been lifting regularly for about a month. I've been using this site http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wotw3.htm for general routine…

Hello! Friends from California?
Hi! I'm looking for friends to add who want to encourage each other, push hard and have similar goals. I'm Paleo-ish, love to lift, love the outdoors, and have about 40 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me! :)

In Ketosis, but I didn't intend to be...
Hi I'm looking for educated advice or perhaps links to send me to some further reading on the subject. If you jump in with the dogmatic "eat more carbs" nonsense, I'll boot you from the thread. I have internet, I know how to use it, and I'm looking for more advanced input than what I can get from Yahoo Answers. Okay, so…

Having a hard time with health = weight
So, I *know that weight doesn't always mean health. There are dreadfully unhealthy thin people out there, and there are fit but overweight people out there. BUT I'm having a hard time recognizing this in myself. I have a BMI of about 33% (calculated with various methods, not measured with calipers) but I can GO! Hour spin…

Unrealistic Goals?
HW: 190 CW: 181 GW: 140 (or higher, depending on muscle mass) Is it too unrealistic/unhealthy to want to be at my goal weight in 5 months? Anyone else have patience problems? Get frustrated without "instant" results? UGH!

Macro/Micronutrient tracking?
Hi everyone! I'm wondering how everyone tracks and set their macronutrient percentages. I *really don't like how MFP has the standard at 50% carbs. I'm borderline hypoglycemic so obviously the only carbs I want or need in my diet are veggies and fruits. What are your goals? why do you have them set that way? How are they…

Starting my fitness journey... how do goals change?
So, I realize that fitness is not something you "get to" and then you're done. It's not a number, or a weight, or whatever. But how do you continue to evolve your goals as your body continues to change? For instance: I started running a week ago (first time EVER) and am up to about 1.5-2miles at a time. How often should I…

Hi everyone! I've been with MFP for a few weeks now and would like to connect with people who are not only looking for getting healthy and losing weight but who are aware and excited about nutrition! I follow a *mostly Paleo meal plan but I do still enjoy beans and rice, so any gluten-free health nuts out there are awesome…
