Weight loss... and drug addiction.
so i've mentioned this to some members, but this time last year i was addicted to dxm (the main ingredient in cough syrup). i'm still not completely off it, i'll do it once or twice a week at this point, nothing compared to the every day, or twice every day habit i had through December 2013. (it's not like most drugs, it…

Not the success story that most post... but...
Hey there! My name's Rose. I started out on a weight loss journey and ended up on a self-acceptance path instead! When I joined MFP (again) I was ~116 lbs. I had very disordered thinking, decided I was going to severely restrict, and not let myself enjoy anything until I was my goal weight (a disordered 92 pounds, at 5'1".…

How good are pushups for you?
I'm just curious because I set my goal at 5 sets of 16 a day (regular pushups). And I want to know if I'm even benefitting from that? Do I need to do more? Less? Different stuff? I already do jogging every day/elliptical when I can get to the gym in place of jogging. Thanks in advance!

Ugh... fruit.
I wish people would stop advising other people to not eat as much fruit. Fruit is healthy, fruit is GOOD, fruit is natural sweetness, and good carbs for your body. What are people supposed to do if they're craving something sweet and you're telling them "don't eat so much fruit"? No food is the enemy but some foods can be…

So... anyone watch Hannibal?
If so, please discuss. I love Mason, Margot, and I have no idea who Will's even rooting for at this point. HANNIBAL IS SO BADASS WITH HIS NINJA LEG SLIDE HOLY ****!

What are your monthly/daily/weekly responsibilities?
I'm just curious what other people are also worrying about on top of their health. For me, its: -moving out of my parents' house in September to my own place and having enough money to last me a year in an apartment, at least -maintenance of my car, gas, insurance, registration, etc. all the fun things -keeping enough…

How do you feel about your support system?
I've been thinking lately about how my boyfriend acts about me losing weight. When I was at my heaviest he would say "You still look great!" and would say "I won't find you as attractive if you lose weight!" when I'd complain that I felt fat. Then, now that I've spent 4 weeks or so working out every day, eating better, etc…

Body fat %- how do you find yours?
I tried the measuring method but was absolutely shocked to get 25% body fat... I KNOW I don't have that much, just out of principle. Maybe when I was heavier I did, but I've lost a good amount of fat already and I know that yet the number went from 25.2% when I was 116 pounds to 24.9% now, 9 pounds lighter. So my question…

extreme stiffness after exercising?
hi all lately i've noticed that when i work out or go for walks, my shoulders, clavicle, and upper back all get very stiff. i'm not talking "sore" from working out or muscle pain or anything. it's like i have to push through the pain to lift my arms above my head. it doesn't feel like muscle pain, rather like bone…

i hope the person above me realizes how ___ they are.
thought it'd be fun to do a board where you basically say what you think about the person. try to keep it nice but... no one's judging your response ;) like, say i was doing my friend, i would say "i hope the person above me realizes how motivational she is"... etc. (i found these boards a great way to make friends!)

PYB: Post your breakfast!
I thought it'd be a fun idea to post what we're having for breakfast, especially to see each others' healthy/not-so-healthy breakfasts This morning i had 2 egg whites with chopped & cooked onion, red bell pepper, and white mushroom; seasoned with oregano, tabasco sauce, and ground black pepper! i also had a plum and some…

this is just the start of my success.
this is the difference from 116 lbs to 106.6 lbs. i was 116 (so i looked the same as the heavier pictures) from about october 2013 until april 20th, 2014. i started losing that day and this is the change since then. i'm looking to tone more, lose a little more, and just feel better about myself but so far... i'm feeling at…

Exercising and acne (blackheads)

This is the only lifestyle change i've…

How to keep cravings from becoming realities?
I've already eaten breakfast and lunch and I'm just deathly craving mac & cheese. First off, that would put me way over my calories and sodium, etc. So I can't do that. But I just don't know how to keep myself from getting up and making it. I'm sick so I don't really have much energy to distract myself with exercise…
