Slow, quiet day at work...
I need someone to talk to, so I don't fall asleep over here!!! I've only been here two hours and I'm ready to pass out! It's so ridiculously quiet around here. I'm doing everything I can to just force my eyes to stay open!!! Tell me what you're up to this weekend. Talk about your weightloss goals and how far you've come.…

Row the World Game - Open Boat (Capt jagrib0112)
Hi All! Just wanted to start a thread for us. Thanks for signing up to be on our team!!! I thought it might be a good idea to get together and try to come up with a team name and just a chance to get to know one another. Also, we're currently at 13 people. So, we need two more. If you have any friends that might be…

How do you work these blasted things...?
So, I have started going to the gym. I use the treadmill and the bike. Eventually, I'll hit the eliptical, as well. But what I'd like to add to my routine is some weight training. There are a TON of machines available to me at my gym. Only problem - I haven't the slightest idea how to use them or what the heck they do.…

4 weeks and 15 lbs
I wish I had thought to do this when I first started on MFP, but I didn't take any pics of me at my highest weight. However, four weeks ago, I was feeling pretty good. Decided to whip out my phone at work and take a couple pics in the full length mirror in the women's washroom. (Yes, I really need to get one at home!) I…

Meal Planning - Need Suggestions!

Eat - Workout or Workout - Eat?
I am currently working out in the evening (as it's the only time of the day where I can fit it in). I usually get home from work around 5:30 and then make dinner. I chill for about an hour after eating and then workout. Here's my question - is there any advantage/disadvantage to working out prior to/after eating dinner?…

My back is KILLING me!
About two weeks ago, I started seriously working out. I have three separate workouts on DVD that I've started doing - 3 days on and 1 day off. However, in the last week or so, I've started feeling a tightness in the middle of my back. I thought maybe it was my chair at work, but I've had the same chair for a few years, so…

Support in a totally different way
I know this is not really the place for it, but everyone here on MFP has been so supportive and so kind, I have to ask for your support in a totally non-weight-loss related way. My best friend's 2 month old son had an accident yesterday and hit his head. He had to have surgery to relieve swelling & bleeding in the brain…

Having a Bad Day...
So, I'm feeling real down today. I had a weight loss this morning, so that should be encouraging, but I'm feeling sort of Bleh about the whole thing. I've been looking at the success story posts and the Before & After pics and rather than giving me motivation, I'm feeling disappointed because I'm not making the same…

Low Cal/Carb Drinks?
I'm going out with some of the girls from work tonight to celebrate a coworker's upcoming marriage. I'd like to have a drink with everyone, but I don't want to skip dinner, just so I can squeeze a drink in to my calories for the day. I'm not a beer drinker, so light beer is out. Anyone have any suggestions??? Thanks!!

Hello!
Hello Everyone! I'm new to MFP and wanted to introduce myself. I've had weight issues all of my life and have finally decided to take control of my health. I'm just looking for some friends to share in this journey with me - hopefully people that are going through a similar challenge. Maybe some folks that keep me…
