People say that rare things don't happen but I am here to tell you that rare things DO happen and rare things, objects and animals CAN be found if you believe in a dream. Here is a secret only TWO people in the world even know right now: My buddy Randy has a unicorn in his basement. I know what you're thinking, but he…

I've recently set it to 1lb per week, this is my TDEE -20%. The first time I lost 76 lbs it was done with the loss set to 2lb. wk. I gained most of it back. I'd really like to hear from people who have done this. Thanks!

Laziness and Procrastination Log
May I suggest adding a feature that will allow us to log our laziness and procrastination? I have been racking up the hours in those activities far more than I have been exercising or making healthy dietary choices. At least I could track my progress in something that I'm good at!

Regained 60 pounds - starving and miserable.
I need help. I'm 35 years old and desperately trying to recreate the conditions that allowed me to lose 76 pounds before gaining most of it back. I believe that sedentary is the correct setting for me because most of my 64 - 72 hours per week at work are spent on a couch, in front of a computer/television. I am desperately…

What's the best cleanse?
No, no, no, not that kind of cleanse! I'm looking for something that will positively impact my GI health as I have numerous health problems in that area including eosinophilic esophagitis/gastritis and diverticulosis and frequently experience GI upset and loose/irregular... well... things that should be firm/regular.

Sometimes I go to the gym so I can eat more!!!
So, now you know my terrible secret. Does anyone else do this? I ellipticalled so I can eat an ice cream sandwich for dessert. For shame! Feel free to peruse my diary and comment as you see fit. I have nothing to hide!

You call this a diet?!
So, I'm back after a rather lengthy and rarely interrupted descent into hell where I regained the 70-something pounds I had lost. I'm feeling really good today for a very specific reason. I allowed myself to include a taco and an ice cream sandwich. The sky didn't fall, I'm not dying, and I now believe resolutely that it's…

Experiencing Sugar and Fat Withdrawal: CRISIS MODE!

Central A/C Help
My wife and I purchased our first home a year ago and it has central air conditioning. It is a Trane, the unit is only a few years old and I do not know it's service history. I feel like it could really do a much better job cooling our house and keeping it cool. There are some days when it is 90+ degrees and humid outside…

I have been OFFENDED and everyone needs to KNOW IT!
I've decided to slightly modify and subsequently liberate this important message from the confines of my news feed and present it to the larger MFP community for consideration. HEAR YE, HEAR YE. It REALLY pisses me off when words that should be pronounced a certain way because of how they are spelled are pronounced…

Raw food "lifestyle"... unsustainable?
I really don't understand what draws people to something like this. 30 bananas a day? 50 bananas a day? What? Why? I just don't get it... I can't find any serious, respected people who think that this is the answer to all of man's problems but it seems like a lot of the people who subscribe to this way of thinking believe…

I want to go run right now but I can't because...
I'm scared that I'll get stress fractures again from increasing my mileage too much. I'm doing a Hal Higdon marathon training plan. I hate all other forms of exercise but I do force myself to do strength training twice per week to help me build a strong base for running. Should I just do what I want and go running,…

You may not have noticed...
...the enormous solitaire diamond engagement ring that the girl between the ages of 28 and 35 in the Slimful commercial is wearing when she pushes a glass of water and a Slimful bar at you during a slow-motion close-up. I wonder what message they're trying to send. Anyone have any idea? Mystery abounds!

Something is broken in my diet. I'm thinking that I am not eating enough but I want to know what some of you think. I feel hungry most days despite trying to keep a healthy and balanced diet but since taking a lot of time off after the holidays, mostly due to just being depressed, I just can't seem to keep it consistent.…

Hi! I've only been running for 8 months so I'm still a total novice myself but I just wanted to put together a post about strength training for new runners because I see a lot of people pick up the sport when they come to MFP and I want them to be able to learn from my mistakes.
