Conflicting exercise advice. Please help?
I am 225 lb (103 kg) and 160 cm (5'4 ft) and I want to start going to the gym again after almost 6 months of no activity whatsoever. During my whole life, I have been given conflicting advice.

Accountabilibuddy?
Why we need to be friends: 1) You know what my title refers to. 2) You too are looking to lose weight. Disclaimer: I am not always sunshine and butterflies. Trying to lose weight SUCKS and I usually find motivation through trial and error. So, if you're up for "keeping it real", add me. Or just simply add me.

I need new, ACTIVE (or planning to be active) friends
Hi there! I have been on MFP for some time and have used it religiously in the past. Now, after some setback, I am looking to start again. I noticed that a lot of the friends I have, are now inactive. Part of the reason that MFP is so useful to me, is the people I have met on here. So I am looking for more people, the more…

I'm in winter hibernation mode. How to stay motivated to workout during those cold winter nights?

How do I make myself eat more salads when just the thought of one makes me cringe? I have been wanting to ditch salads and get myself a greasy slice of pizza but then, I'll…

Gym routine suggestions needed!
Hi everyone! I am currently enrolled at my local gym and I want to make the most of it. My only problem is that I am clueless when I go there. I mostly walk around to see which machine is available and do whichever amount of reps I think seems to make most sense at that time. I have no structure, no routine, no guide,…

Meal replacements?
I'm sure you have all heard of Herbalife. I have avoided using it because I have seen people use it and lost a tremendous amount of weight and then gained it all back once they started eating normally again. I have also seen people spend huge amounts of money on it with no results whatsoever. But I have also seen people…

How to deal with unsupportive friends/family
Hi all, Recently I started to take this weight loss thing seriously, again.. For like the 100000th time, HOWEVER, my family and my friends think it's like a joke since I have started "seriously dieting" before and stopped after only a few days.

Sore muscles, so what should I do?
Hi everyone! Two days ago I started working out with an instructor. He is not a personal trainer but he gives me extra attention while I am at the gym. So we did abs and legs and yesterday I was sore, so I skipped the gym thinking that today it would be a lot better. But oh man, that could not be more wrong. I could barely…
