Martial Arts
Do any of you train in any martial arts? I took Hapkido a few years ago and really miss it--hoping to get back to it once I shed some more pounds. What is your take on any of them?

Thank you!
I'm glad I have you guys and wanted to thank you for all of the awesome ideas, recipes and support! was just talking to someone I work with and said that it looks like I might make 10lbs today, and she says 'oh I just can't get with weight loss right now, I don't know why.

Customer service at gyms
Hi, I'm curious what everyone's opinions are on this: I have a friend that works out at a gym near her house, and thought it would be fun to have a workout partner, so I went to join there last night. She was running late, so I decided to go in and get signed up so that we could workout when she got there. Well, I walked…

Foods you are powerless over?

Dieting with significant other---help!
So I finally got my BF on board with dieting, but now he's driving me crazy! I'm a lifetime dieter (and failure), but now I know what works and what doesn't. However, my bf suddenly thinks that he should eat as little food as possible. I know that I have to be realistic, that I will occasionally go out to eat and slip up,…

Planning--just wondering
How far ahead do you plan your meals? I have noticed that it's much easier for me to sit down the night before, plan out all of my meals and snacks, and enter them in the trackers. It seems to keep me much more focused than wondering what I'm going to eat at lunch the next day, or for dinner when I get home. A friend of…

I'm new and excited!
Hi! I just started with MFP, getting used to the site and tracking and ATTEMPTING to stay near the calorie range I'm supposed to be in. I need to lose roughly 150 lbs, so it's going to be a long journey. I tracked my first day, every single thing I ate yesterday, and came to 4000 CALORIES! I nearly had a heart attack when…
