Are you losing weight to feel more attractive?
Just curious, it's a bit of a taboo subject, a lot of people say it's to "get healthy" but some also want to feel more attractive. Which category are you in?

Interesting snippets of information thread
I thought it might be interesting to have a thread where people can quote differing websites and post the snippet here, also posting where they found the information. "People with a high waist-to-height ratio, whose waists measure 80 percent of their height, tend die about 17 years earlier than thinner people"…

Has anyone kept push up records?
I'm just curious about whether anyone here has kept records of how many push ups they were able to do, and what rate they were able to increase it? Thanks.

When do you want to reach goal weight?
I have chosen October 25th (or thereabouts) because it is the birthday of my departed first girlfriend. Of all of the girlfriends I've had she never had problems with me losing weight. So I figure, I can reach goal weight around that time in her memory.

Do you feel thin, even when you're not?
A lot of people here on MFP have talked about how they "feel fat/big even though they are not fat/big anymore". Well I have the opposite feeling. I was thin up until the age of about 29, so in my head I feel thin even though I'm not. This means I have a tendency to over eat and hence gain weight, even when I supposedly am…

Has weight loss turned into a hobby for you?
I just wonder if other people think about this, I read articles on weight loss, know what I'm eating or not eating, and generally understand various concepts. When people complain about not losing weight, sometimes I keep my mouth shut, other times I say something simple. I have successfully lost weight (2 years now) and I…

Have you noticed that MFP groups tend to fizzle out?
I'm just curious about this because I joined up with a group just over two weeks ago, maybe 90 members. Some of us were doing daily weigh-ins, 10 days ago about 7 did them, today is the third day in a row where I've been the only poster on the daily weigh-in thread. I'm not exactly sure why this is, the group is for people…

Only 7.5kg/17lb to go to get to goal...
So I've not much to go before hitting goal. I'm really not sure how fast I should go at getting there. If you were that weight above goal weight, how long would you prefer to take to arrive at goal weight?

Have you moved countries?
By that I mean, have you moved from one country to another and gone through the legal process to be able to get a job, vote, etc that sort of thing. From where to where? Why did you do it? How did you do it?

Has anyone thought about a weekly weigh-in?
First, let me say that I am *not* at my goal weight, that's 8kg and 4 months away. Not too far away though. Anyway, this forum seems to be the most active of any weight loss forum on the planet, and I'd like some shared support in terms of weighing in weekly, as a way to keep focused. I reached goal weight 2 years ago then…

What motivation methods have you used?
Back in 2007 I told my father that I'd like him to not send me birthday and Christmas money like he usually did, and to save it up for when I reached my goal weight. 5 1/2 years later, I reached goal weight and got a lot of money to buy a smartphone (I subsequently rebounded by 9kg and have started losing that recently).…

How long have you been working with weights?
Just curious, how long have you been working with weights (excluding body weight exercises) continuously (excepting when you can't when you've got injuries). I'm talking about any exercises. Thanks.

Do you find motivation has a limited quantity?
By that I mean, if you use it for weight loss, other things you need motivation for suffer? I'm finding that, do you too? If you do, any ideas how to combat this?
