a little help with perspective.
I could use your help. I have a Sociology assignment due and I'd like your input. The assignment is to comment on the topic of where our idea of beauty comes from. Is it biological or cultural? But my question to you, is why do you do MFP? is it for appearance or for health or for both? what takes priority in your book? I…

Flat belly
So, I reached my goal a couple of months ago and I've been doing really good with maintenance. In fact, I've been trying a few new things in the last few weeks. Although I reached my goal weight which is right in the middle of my BMI, I still have that "spare tire" My question is, how do I get rid of that? How do people…

Appendectomy - out for 2 weeks
This sucks. I was running last Tuesday and felt a little cramp on my right side. Then I woke up Wednesday with the worst stomach ache. By Friday I found out that I had appendicitis. I had emergency surgery Friday night and now I can't run for two weeks. Also, I can't seem to get enough calories either. 1200 at most, the…

appearance or fitness? Women? Men?
I have a question for the ladies. I recently asked a question on here about whether or not I should change my goal. All the responses I got back from Women were centered around appearance. Almost all those comments said not to change my goal and they said, "you look good" I was surprised at that response because my…

How much did I burn?
I could use some help with how many calories I burned on my run today. So I tracked my run at an average 9 min/mile for 47 minutes and 54 seconds. my average heart rate was 164. I'm 6'2" 175 pounds. I used a formula for calculating calories burned and it shows one number. Then I checked other websites also and the calories…

What do you think? 5 more pounds?
So I reached my goal about 3 weeks ago. I didn't want to go too low with my weight. My goal was to reach 175 pounds, which puts my BMI at 22.5. But I'm feeling like another 5 pounds might be a little better. My BMI then would be 21.8 which is right in the middle for my height (6'2"). The reason I'm thinking another 5…

So close, 1/2 pound to go.
I'm so close to my goal. 1/2 pound to go. I started MFP in April. But I really started trying to hit this goal last year. I had lost 15 pounds before MFP and it took me nearly a year to do it. Since April, I've dropped 21.5 pounds. I should hit my goal by Saturday. After that begins the tapering back up in calories to…

Does anyone do P90X?
I just started doing P90X. This is tougher than I thought. Is anyone else doing it? I heard that some people have had some serious problems with hydration on this program.

Juice Fasting / detoxing
So I saw a documentary about a guy who did a 60 day juice fast and lost a lot of weight. I'm only 4 lbs from my goal and I thought I'd give this juice thing a try. I started yesterday and had a huge headache by the end of the day. I'm still going today, but I had to add in some protein. I've only added in hard boiled egg…
