Eat This, Not That!
Fill in the blanks! "When you're craving ______, eat _________. It's better for you because _____________. It really helps if you're trying to _(lose weight/gain muscle)_."

I'm so close!!!
Here is a link to my current photos! http://imgur.com/a/FBQHI While I haven’t had quite as spectacular a transformation as some of the people on this forum, I am very proud of where I am. My “before” pictures were deleted out of paranoia that someone might see them, but I have lost a little over 10lbs! I’m now focusing on…

Just 9lbs to go!! Wanna be friends?
Hi all! I'm back on MFP after an unintended break, and I've found that most of my friend's list has become inactive or are no longer interested in being as positive as they used to be. I'm looking for others with weight goals similar to my own, or people who are in it to win it! I have found that being surrounded by a…

Men of MFP, I want your opinions!
Hi! I'm an industrial design student, and I am about to design a line of health food and clean-eating appliances geared to sell to the men of the healthy living movement. My research so far shows that many appliances geared toward personal health are either androgynous or feminine in appearance, and a bit expensive. Some…

Mini success: I bought a dress!
Though my weightloss is minuscule compared to some of the truly awesome achievements I see on this site, I am proud of myself! I bloat like crazy when I gain weight, and MFP has gotten me looking like I've lost 20lbs, not 9lbs. I was so pleased with myself that I went dress shopping on a whim after work....and guess what?…

Hello!
Hi, this is my first group, but it seemed right for me! I have always been curvy in an hourglass way. My current measurements are 39-28-36, I am 135lbs, and 5'9". Tummy tightening advise is more than welcome :)

What do you listen to?
What kind of things do you listen to while you work out? Music? Podcasts? What bands/shows? Do you listen to anything? I need something playing, or I'll stall out. Normally during cardio, I need upbeat music with good pacing and a lot of energy to it. In all honesty, my awful highschool music is the BEST for this. I run so…

Kill my core! :D
Hello! Since I am not too far from my goal weight, I have decided that it is time to begin weight training to try and avoid the skinnyfat phenomenon. You know what I mean; thin as a whip, but all flub. Anyhow, I was wondering if someone could give me a few pointers on how to tighten up my core. I have an exaggerated…

I have a photoshoot in June, help me, models!
Hi! I'll start off by saying this site is awesome, and it's really been helping me out. However, I feel like body maintenance and care in lieu of modelling is a bit difference than just trying to shed weight. I am currently 5'9", 135.4lbs, and I would love to get down to 130lbs-125lbs by early June. I know that the BMI…

Butts
I'm comically top-heavy :c It's not a weightloss thing, either, I have always had skewed proportions. Anyhow, I'd love to build a bigger butt to try and balance my figure out. Do you guys have go-to videos or exercise routines you could suggest to me? I know squats are a thing, but it would be so helpful to me if someone…

Nutrabullets: are they they great?
Really, I'd love to know. I adore smoothies and think I may buy a nutribullet, but if it's all hype I'd like to know before I put the money down. Does anyone have one? How do you like it? What makes it different from a blender?

Just starting out! Any tips?
Hi! I want to lose 10lbs by May. I have been logging my foods in MFP for a while now, and have just began working out. I will also be making sure to log my weekends, seeing as I have let that slide. What kinds of tips and tricks could you offer a newcomer? My calorie intake is set at 1300, and I want to work off around 300…
