Ladies--What do you feel like after taking Midol!?
I've noticed every time I take Midol to relieve a cramp on my period I wait for it to hit my system and BAM I feel like a walking slinky/jittery. Am I the only who who feels this way?! My boyfriend has joked around saying there's no need to get me drunk, just take a dose of Midol! The only thing I can come up with is it's…

Weight Lifting Progress Question
Alright, so I've been on MFP since August 2011 and was all about reduce reduce reduce (calories) and workout real hard with any aerobic activity I saw fit. So, now I'm doing a complete turn and finally realized eating lower calorie to "maintain-ish" weight was only hurting me. I also had an epiphany a while back that…

Boredom Eating
Who's guilty of it and what kinds of foods do you mindless stuff yourself with? What do you do to distract yourself from those temptations? I'm guilty of it when I can't keep busy physically. I just started a new job that requires me to do a lot of physical labor and it wasn't until starting it that I really realized how…

Anyone else out there hit the same wall as me?
I joined My Fitness Pal back in August 2011 after I realized I needed some kind of change, as well as a personal challenge to battle the very thing I'd avoided fixing since elementary school, obesity. I made quite a few changes when I first realized that yes, indeed losing weight by actually watching what I ate was a key…

2 years out of college and NOTHING
So, I want input from you folks--most of whom I'm sure are employed and been in the professional working world for a while. I graduated with my BA in Journalism May 2011. Before graduation I made sure to start applying like crazy to all kinds of "entry level" jobs or internships I thought I was qualified for in some way. I…

Honeymoon Travel; To buy insurance or not?
I'm psyched! My fiance and I have booked our honeymoon this coming May to visit Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. As we were paying our deposit we realized we had an option to add travel insurance. At the time we didn't know if it was worth adding for an additional $200-300. I've spent a little time looking up…

Anyone ever tried Theralogix multivitamin?
Just as a heads up, in NO WAY am I trying to advertise here: I just went to the yearly women's check up and everything checked out just fine. My doctor recommended I begin a daily multivitamin, but I'm kind of weary of it considering the last several times I've tried to take multivitamins I've become very nauseous. I asked…

Bride to be in need of maintenance support
Hey everyone, so, I managed to lose my 50+ish pounds of weight I needed to lose, but now I'm in a predicament. I've been around where I've wanted to be since May but since then my weight has been going up and down as much as 4-5 lbs. I don't know what to do to keep myself from slacking like I have been (giving myself more…

Advice anyone? One sugar addict to another?
I hit my goal weight back in mid May and since then I've been trying to maintain. First off, I thought losing was difficult but soon found out maintaining is a completely different story. Looking back, I'm wondering if maybe I was too restrictive on myself or maybe I was doing just fine and only recently let off too much…

Woman Belly...
Ok, I've been consistently losing weight on MFP since August 2011. I started at 182 lbs. and had my original goal weight being 140, now my goal is 135. I'm now happy to say I've made it into the 140s (147) however I have a complaint. I thought for sure I would have less of a belly by the time I hit the 140s. I don't. I'm…

The shred make you gain??
Hey people who did 30 day shred! I'm curious, I did day two of 30 day shred yesterday ( I'm doing it every other day seeing as how I'm too sore to do it everyday), did any of you gain weight when starting? I weighed in yesterday and I was up 0.2lbs from last Sunday, no biggy right? Then, I got on the scale this morning to…

Slipping out of pants!
New non-scale victory! I am now able to slip out of my blue jeans completely without unbuttoning or unzipping them while laying on the floor. How did I discover this you ask? I was trying out new core exercises from a Runner's World article and noticed I had a HUGE gap in my jeans, turned out I could shimmy out of my…

calling all 40 pound losers!
Hey successful people! I'm needing some motivation here, I'm currently at 21-ish pounds lost (about half way) to my goal weight. I'm having problems staying completely motivated food-wise and would very much appreciate some pictures of those of you who have had a goal to lose 40 lbs and reached it. I know I'm about half…

WOMEN! Any body else an APPLE? (Pic)
Hey, I just recently realized I am considered an 'apple' body shape; meaning I carry my weight at my core (haha), have thin legs, and barely a butt. I've never been at a healthy weight and I'm curious if anyone else has a similar make up as me. Small frame, apple shape and about 5,7". It would be VERY motivating to see…

How MANY inches did you lose?!
Hey everyone, so I've been measuring my waist, neck, and hips every two weeks in addition to weighing in. I've noticed I kinda get more excited seeing the tape measure hit a smaller and smaller number. I'm curious, how many inches have you all lost? I'm the kind of person who holds almost every inch of fat at my belly. I'm…

TEXAN, JOB ADVICE NEEDED!
Hey everyone! so, I graduated with my bachelors back in May and I was looking for full-time work throughout the summer. I became overwhelmed and 72 applications later I'd only had ONE interview so I decided to give it a break for a while. I really don't know what's going on-- if I've applied to jobs that aren't really for…

Anyone else have this problem???!!
Before starting my fitness pal I consistently ran (well I consider it a jog, I wasn't fast by any means). I used to be able to jog 3 to 3 and a half miles without an issue. I took a jogging class the last semester of college (this last spring) and I did well in it, no issues. I took a long break between ending that class…

Need a good laugh?!
I know this comedian probably talks about the opposite of what most of us want out of MFP, but you have to admit it's entertaining to watch!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q6Gc23ZtPA ENJOY! Happy Losing!

CANDY, DELICIOUS BAKED GOODS and the HOLIDAYS!!!!
Thought I'd just lay it all out there, it's coming up on the first holiday of the season, Halloween!! Going to the grocery store has been a My Fitness Pal catastrophe waiting to happen! I swear, on every isle I pass there's some kind of baked good staring me right in the face along with the gobs of candy overflowing the…

My pantalones fit!!
Oh, how far I've come in these 50 days of logging in and constantly logging everything I eat and every exercise I do! With that came my first clothing win! I bought these capris back in March 2008 when I wanted something cute/casual to wear to my sister's wedding rehearsal. I was about the same weight now as I was then (I…

Candy Corn--The Devil.
I recently acquired some candy corn my boyfriend's Grandmother dumped on us when visiting this last weekend. I LOVE candy corn! I noticed since having it available in the pantry I find myself thinking about it all too often through out the day and then after dinner I end up eating one serving. Yeah, it's better that I…

Excuses, Excuses
I just got back from a weekend of visiting family. I noticed I have anxiety every time I eat anywhere besides my place. The first meal we ate was a taco salad (homemade) it wasn't bad I just watched the kitchen like crazy for what was going into the meal. Then my boyfriend and I were treated to delicious Italian food from…

Sugar, sugar, everywhere!!
Help! So, I JUST ate, rather, drank breakfast. I had a Carnation Instant Breakfast pack mixed with 1% milk. I just upped my weight loss goal to 1.5 lbs. per week instead of 1 lb. a week. Now, I know with that comes different goals for the amounts of nutrients in my diet. I know sugar isn't the best thing to eat but I feel…

What inspired/motivated you to lose weight?
I just saw someone post on a previous message asking what inspired them to lose weight. I thought, wow what a great discussion topic! Most who post in this message board have had great success in losing weight and it's been great seeing all of those motivating pictures. So, successful people, what motivated/inspired you to…

Toe shoes vs. Traditional Running shoes.
Hey everyone, I just realized this morning how old my running shoes are. I went to a specialized running store two years ago and was fitted for THE shoe for me. I've enjoyed the shoes for the two years I've had them, yes, I said two YEARS. I didn't realize until today how long I'd been using them for various workouts, on…

Herro #2
I'm 7 days into using MFP. I figured I give it a little time before actually introducing myself. Anyhow, I've always struggled with weight issues and was never really informed or learned from my parents portion control/eating healthy. Now, at the age 23 here I am making it an effort to educate myself about what it takes to…

Advice is welcome to newcomer
Hey everyone! I'm new to this whole calorie counting thing. I was reading a previous post from someone saying they're having difficulties losing weight. Some people mentioned it was because the user may have not been eating enough therefore slowing down their metabolism. I know it's a little early considering I'm only 6…
