Walking speeds off? (3.0, 3.5 mph?) Help!
Hi there MFP, My primary source of exercise is walking, which is difficult to track exactly because there's no machine involved, except my pedometer on my phone. Last night, I walked 6/10ths of a mile in a little over half an hour. This was from stepping off my front stoop to coming back again, and though I'd like to say I…

If you feel like you're ready to give up, please read this.
Hi there. I won't claim to know you, or your goals, or what brought you to MFP. I won't claim to know what's best for you, though if any of you reading this have questions you don't feel comfortable asking on the main forums, please send me a message and I'd be happy to answer them to the best of my ability or refer you to…

I eat 2,000+ cals daily and am losing weight!
Yes, it CAN be done! If you don't believe me, feel free to add me. I am simply trying to dispel the myth that you need to massively cut calories in order to reach your goal. I work out-- some of it is just my job-- but nothing too strenuous. I am 5'9", and have lost all my weight on MFP eating 2k calories (or more!) per…

I have lost 35 pounds eating 2,000+ calories a day.
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1035699-i-eat-2-000-cals-daily-and-am-losing-weight Helloitsdan (who you should all look up!) said that I should repost this as a success. Mosey on over to the original thread if you like :smile:

Let's play Favorites!
The game is easy: For each noun, list your Most Favorite and Least Favorite. Example: My most favorite sound is birdsong accompanied by a light breeze, when I'm walking through a wooded area. My least favorite sound is someone chewing... it's so gross! *shudder* Here is your list of nouns. You don't have to answer for all…

Why do I need friends?
Warning: This is a whiny post, read at your discretion. So lately, I feel like I need new friends. Not my acquaintances, not my co-workers... I mean the people I thought were my real, close friends. The kind of friends you'd do anything for, the kind of friends you hope will always be there for you. The people you want to…

Lifting after injury-- advice needed!
So after tweaking the hell out of my elbow and wrist while rollerblading (nothing broken or sprained, just very painful for a while), I took a full two weeks off weight-lifting to recover. This is the third week after the injury and my arm still will have a twang a couple times a day, but is mostly fine. Unfortunately, I…

I want to hear from loved ones of depressed people.
I talked to my boyfriend less than an hour ago on the phone. I told him how much I missed him today and how much I was looking forward to coming home and being with him. He said he missed me too and agreed that we should do something together when I got home. I came home... and he's sound asleep. If you have first-hand…

Why I quit smoking weed
Because as hilarious as this is... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7kFIiw-eBc I got tired of being like THAT guy. :tongue:

Post-coital snack
So today, I said "**** it" to my calorie goals, macronutrient goals, and any aspirations of eating healthy. I do this approximately once every two weeks, not that I particularly plan on it. It just happens, I am human. After engaging in some hedonistic activities (that probably only burned a few dozen calories lol), I…

What gif would you show to someone who...

Anyone play League of Legends here?
If so, what champions do you like to play? I like whacking people with a giant sword as Leona. If you play other games, tell me about them. I don't play that many right now, though I am thinking about trying Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Politics make me grumpy.
On the way home from school, I was driving behind a giant Chevy truck with the bumper sticker: "Beware of Liberals posing as Americans." So I guess by his definition, I'm not American? Huh. That's news to me. He then proceeded to be a reckless driver and cut off a large freight truck at an intersection, zooming ahead to go…

Do you FEEL stronger yet??
My story for today about lifting: Generally, even though at my job (I work as a stocker) I am technically required to lift up to 45 lbs without assistance, the fact is that most of our freight is packaged in boxes less than 30 pounds. Which is fine, except that when it comes to the ACTUALLY heavy stuff, it can be a…

I need opinions from people who eat clean/organic...
But not about food. (It IS related though from a health perspective, so please don't flame me for posting in the incorrect category...) I don't claim to eat "clean" by any means, but I am working at eliminating food from my diet that is excessively processed, aka anything that has a bunch of ingredients on the label that…

"Your song" (songs with your name in them)
Whenever I hear the song "Amber" by 311, it always makes me smile for the simple fact that I can pretend the song is about me. (I know, I'm so vain.) Who else has a name that has been mentioned in songs? If you have a "common" name and there are multiple ones, which one is your favorite? Don't report me for excluding…

What did you accomplish today?
Despite having 3 weeks to complete the assignment, I waited until this afternoon to pump out a 4-page paper for my Political Science class, because it's due tomorrow. :smile: Tell me the goals you met today, fitness-related or not!

Nearly 65 pounds lost, 75 to go. Halfway point progress pics
I got on the scale this morning and weighed in at 236. I haven't been at this weight since high school! (Which is still kind of depressing) But I've been struggling these past couple weeks, so I thought I'd post this to remind myself of how far I've come in the past 4 years (though at least half that time I was not…

Debate on "Trigger Foods"
So it's no secret to anyone on my Friends List that I like to eat, and I like to eat crappy. I am working to fix that, but despite being able to lose 60 pounds since my highest weight, I struggle constantly with the desire to binge-eat. Especially with chocolate, but it can be just about anything if I have a taste for it,…

Post your current workout music
Or whatever you're grooving to right now, even if you're just doing the shimmywiggle in your chair. http://www.djtunes.com/#/kill-paris/komodo-paradise/shi tty-mp3s__968880 <--my most recent choice for both League of Legends and working out lolz Edit: it censors the link so remove the space there. Also if anyone digs this,…

Someone is wrong on the internet!!!
It doesn't matter what it's about, who's involved, or what links you can come up with. It doesn't matter if you have a hundred people agreeing with you or nobody. It doesn't matter if someone is being courteous or offensive, and it doesn't matter what words they use. No one is ever 100% wrong, just like no one is ever 100%…

Why you should shop at thrift stores if you don't already
Yesterday, I was horrified when my favorite (and only!) pair of jeans split open while I was on a ladder at my job. I was wearing my one and only pair of red undies, too. I stuck it out through the rest of my shift, but now my nickname is "Red". However, my spirits were immediately brightened when, upon walking into…

Bashing diets and foods
Okay, look. Presently, I am just about as off-track one could get insofar as 'healthy' eating. I've managed to stay within my calorie goal of 2,050 for a few months (with the exception of a binge day about twice a month), but that's about the most positive thing I can say. I pretty much always go over on sugar, and am…

A fat girl's small NSV
So I first noticed this a few weeks ago, but it is still a pleasant surprise whenever I take a bath. My bathtub is not terribly large, as most bathtubs in most houses I've lived in have been. It comfortably seats one not-too-fat person. Being a too-fat person, my hips would usually touch both sides of the tub, and at my…

I wish I could say MFP drove me to drink
Title should be: "I wish I could say the MFP forums drove me to drink." But that would be making poor excuses for my own choices. I drive myself to drink, godd@mmit! Who's drinking today? I know there's already another (lame!) thread going on about drinking but I don't care. PUT ME IN THE SPOTLIGHT I WANT ATTENTIONNNNNNNN…

SABOTAGE: Only in your mind.
Attitude is everything, ladies and gentlemen! This morning, one of my co-workers from another department brought in 3 dozen donuts for the entire store. He's done this before, and it's a sweet (ha!) gesture. I had brought my usual baggie of cereal for breakfast to eat on my break, but I decided to skip it and have a donut…

Snow!! Love it or hate it?
It's been snowing hard here since about 4:30 this morning, and I'm pretty stoked to go sledding later. Don't get me wrong, driving in snow is annoying as *kitten*, but I guess I'm just a kid at heart. Also we haven't gotten much snow this winter (absolutely nothing before January), and even less the year before, so it…

When you get lost in your head while exercising...
Where do you go? For me, because I like to walk/run to movie soundtracks (such as the Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings-- yep, nerd alert), I like to imagine that I'm on an epic quest, that I have an urgent message to deliver to someone very important in a castle far far away. Or something. What's in your head…
