Oldbie getting back into the groove!
Hey hey! I've been a member since 2011, but then I fell off the bandwagon after a trip to Germany at the end of that year. I was pretty sporadic for a bit, and then just disappeared. Now I am BACK, disgusted with myself, and begging for forgiveness for my lack of commitment and would very much so like to have some pals.…

Renewal
Hey hey! Well, I've actually been a member of MFP for a year, and I was on my A game until I went on a trip in December to Germany. Ever since I got back... I fell off the map BIG TIME and have gained ALLLLL the weight back that I lost. Needless to say, I'm devastated and this time around, I want to start fresh and keep…

Caught in Leggings - Small NSV
Well, its a small NSV, but one nonetheless. I had two friends over at my place on Saturday evening and when they got here, I was wearing some pj bottoms. I decided to change into a pair of leggings because we were planning on heading out for a little bit. When I had returned to the kitchen, one of my friends went "Did you…

T.O.M Desires
Ok, ladies, so...its that T.O.M again and she's been kicking my *kitten* all day. I've managed to ward off my usual craving for ice cream, but tell me, what do YOU all like to indulge upon when Mother Nature knocks at your front door? :] As I already mentioned, ice cream (especially Ben & Jerry's Strawberry Cheesecake) is…

Wow. Who Would've Thought?
Before I joined MFP, my highest weight was at 156lbs in April of this year. I had done a routine check-up at my doctor's and when I stepped on the scale, I nearly cried. How had I gone from being a super sporty track and volleyball athlete to this? I decided to take control of my life and eventually managed to shimmy way…

Psst... HEY
Good morning to the MFP male population! How's it going? I hope all of you woke up, looked out your window and went "I hate mornings" but then realized "Hey, its a brand new day and that means another day to get myself healthy!" All of you awesome dudes are kicking butt and trying your hardest to lead a healthy new…

Love Message !
All right, so, as a lot of ladies on here know we've got ourselves a special cowboy who rounds up our spirits and makes us feel like more than a million bucks each day, but I couldn't help but think: What about the MFP men? I just wanted to send a little message of love and support to the men on here who are busting their…

I Tip My Hat to You, Cowboy
Hello MFPs. As some of you ladies might know there is a wonderful cowboy that has been roaming around these parts posting up inspirational notes for us all to read and for us to indulge in. He's been making all of us feel incredible with those bursts of encouragement, and I wanted to also do such a thing through the tool…

Digging In
We've all had hit a plateau, have hit a solid wall, or just flat-lined completely. When those times come up what do you do? Do you throw in the towel and say "I'm finished" ? Or do you pick it up and go "One more time" ? I believe that all of us just need to dig our toes deep into the warm sand, have our chins held high…

The Little Things - NSV
Well well! Ever since I have begun my fitness journey, I have basically condemned most people from witnessing me without a shirt on or in shorts or in a skirt - especially my boyfriend. He's been all "I'll love you regardless" and the wonderful, fantastic things your sweetheart tells you even though you know that they'd…

Female Body Types
Hey there gorgeous ladies! So, I was thinking to myself "Hmm... girlfriend, you've been sitting at 134lbs for two weeks due to a bad rut you were having... Maybe 134 isn't so bad though!" But then I look in the mirror and go "Its not RIGHT!" It hit me: I'm not flipping out because I think I have to be stick thin but rather…

The Rut
Hmmm... I've been doing pretty great since before I joined MFP and even better when I joined, but for the past two weeks, I've just been down and out. No motivation to run, do my P90X or Turbo Fire, and its DRIVING ME CRAZY! I think it has to do with the entire living situation switch-a-roo, but I'm wondering if its just…

Do YOU have the guts?
I posted this up on my blog already about having the guts to go for a job I would not have previously considered due to several factors, but I'm going into an interview for that job TODAY. I was wondering: Do YOU have the guts to do something you would not have done before? For example, would you step foot on an airplane…

National Dance Day
Hello, hello, hello my fellow MFPs! I hope everyone is doing well and succeeding in their goals in a HEALTHY manner, making those lifetime changes (not just temporary). Now, some of you are probably staring at the title of this topic going "What? I had no idea there was a National Dance Day in the U.S!" Well, ladies and…

The Second Helping
I'm sure I am not strange in saying this, but...who doesn't like a second helping of food? I made myself a lovely dinner, and after eating, I stared at my empty bowl and went "I shouldn't do it... I SHOULDN'T DO IT!!" but then got myself a second (much much smaller) helping. How should one avoid the dreaded craving for…

Poor College Student, HELP!
Well, I'm in college and like most students that study in the U.S...practically broke. Its difficult for me to keep up with a nutritious and delicious diet when every time I open my fridge moths fly out, and crickets chirp. So I'm usually stuck with a piece of bread and peanut butter, or going out to buy something cheap…
-
Guilty Pleasures...
First of all, I'd like to clarify that I'm talking about FOOD, ladies and gents! FOOD! Not anything provocative. Now since I've clarified everything. I know all of us has that ONE (maybe two...or three..heck...ten!) guilty pleasure that they like to munch away on when no one is looking when you're supposed to be on a…

Protein Shakes
So, I've been against protein shakes since forever... Even while in the midst of my high school athletic career, I absolutely refused to drink protein shakes. I always saw them as some sort of poison, or the cheaters way of getting protein. Now, that I've been in college for some time, and nonetheless living alone, its a…

Hallo, Hola, Konnichiwa, Howdy, Hi! I'm brand spanking new to this site and happened to stumble across it while on Google search looking for something fitness related. It seemed like a nice place to be, and to get support about staying in shape, so I decided to sign up! I've never been too huge on forums, but this one…
