What do you do about people on your friends list that are exhibiting ED or potential ED behavior? Do you confront them, if so, how? Or do you just delete them?

Nothing is working
I guess this is a rant more than anything. I feel like no matter what I do, I can't lose the weight. My goal weigh is 150-155, but I CAN'T get under 175 no matter what I do. I've tried doing lots of cardio. I've tried doing heavy lifting. I've tried measuring. I've lowered my calorie intake, increased my calorie intake,…

Light Headed during 30DS
I posted this on a group thread for 30DS but found I might have better luck getting responses here.... So, I had to stop 3 days before completing level 2 because my injury flared up, so I'm restarting at Level 1 again. Today is day two. What I'm wondering though is, does anyone else get light headed... I always get light…

Train for 1/2 Marathon?
So, I'm not the best distance runner, and this is probably crazy since I haven't even ran a 5k, but I want to train for a 1/2 marathon. I will likely do a few 5ks before the 1/2, but my goal is the 1/2 marathon. I'm good at running mid-distance at a fast pace. I haven't ran since March and just ran a mile in about 6:30 on…

Ray freaking Lewis
The title says it all. I'm a die hard Packer fan, but when I'm lacking motivation, I think of this guy. Seriously, I have so much respect for him. What motivates you?

On feet all day, to desk job
I used to work as a manager at a restaurant and worked really long hours, and on my feet. Now, I'm at a job with good hours, but it's a desk job in front of a computer. The sitting part is not my cup 'o tea. Neither was standing for 16 hours straight, either I suppose. But has anyone switched from a job where you stood all…

Beans from scratch...rinse after cooking?
So, I'm cooking black beans...first time I've cooked beans...ever. I don't eat beans so I don't know when they're done cooking, etc, so I've been going back and forth to my husband to make sure it's all a-okay. One thing we both don't know....do I rinse the beans AFTER I'm done cooking?

Lifting Heavy
I want to start lifting heavy but have no idea where to start, or what kind of routine to do, etc. Should I do cario before/after, none at all? HELP. I also have really bad hip problems... not caused by being over weight. So, this can be detrimental, but maybe there's things that can help? MY hip flexors are really bad and…

2 Month Plateau
I've been stuck at a 2 month plateau. I keep felxing between 178.6 and 180.5 and can't get below it. It's difficult for me to use exercise to break a plateau with exercise because I have hip problems (one day I'll be perfectly fine, the next day I'm practically bed ridden) Any suggestions on how to break it, and why the…

Any Nissan Maxima owners?
I'm looking to buy a new car. I'm selling my 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander before it hits 100k, because I"ll be able to sell it for more than I paid for it. I've been looking around for cars and peaked an interest in this 2012 Nissan Maxima. It's 26k, which is super expensive for a college kid, so I want to make sure it will…

Tattoo Idea - overcoming rough times
I've made "mini goals" for myself, and when I complete them I'm giving myself rewards. For one of the goals I am allowing myself to get a tattoo. I've been contemplating what kind of tattoo I want for a long time (years). I want a tattoo that represents the hard times I have had to go through. I lived in an emotionally…

Splits
So, I used to be a cheerleader, so I was pretty flexible, but I got injured, so now I'm really ...not lol My physical therapist was even making fun of how tight my hammies are :'( It was a sad day lol. But anyway, for some reason I've always found doing middle splits the easiest, left was okay, and right took sooo long.…

Before and During (pics)
Okay, so I'm doing this pretty slowly. I started July and only have lost 10 lbs, but I fell off the band wagon for about a month. I've been doing 30DS and am midway through it so far. Working out is a struggle for me because I have messed up hips (had surgery, and will be having another) and a messed up SI joint which…

What time do YOU work out?
What time(s) of the day do you work out, and what do you do? Is it working out well for you? I'm thinking about trying to work out in the early morning because I hate the crowded gym, and it doesn't die down until 7, and by then it doesn't really become a priority. Advice on working out earlier in the morning?

Auburn Hair
Naturally blonde. Thinking about going dark auburn. I went light auburn twice, but it fades really quickly. I liked the way it looks, but maybe darker? I have blonde hair and fair skin. Opinions?

Okay, but I'm not sure where. I want to get the heck out of Wisconsin. My in-laws live in Virginia so preferably near there, but not necessarily in Virginia. Somewhere warm preferably.

BMR!? Confused!
So, my BMR is 1,600 calories. I set MFP goal to lose 1lb a week. I didn't put any exercise (sedentary).. and can't really exercise because of an injury, anyway. But, it's telling me to eat 1,520 calories. Don't you need to burn 3,500 calories to shed a pound? I'm only losing 80 calories a day, so that's 560 calories a…
