awkward question....
I feel like I've lost my sex drive... and I'm only 21! I used to be ready for it any time of the day. I thought about sex all the time. And now I'm never in the mood. This has just happened recently, as in the past 2 weeks or so. I've been saying no to my boyfriend, but we usually end up trying anyways, and then I'll just…

Are my workouts even effective?
I go the gym every day (usually take 1 or 2 rest days throughout the week) for 30-60 minutes. I do strength exercises and then cardio. From cardio, I can burn anywhere from 200-400 calories. However, I see other people on here going to the gym for 60 minutes and burning 700+ calories. I figure as long as I'm doing…

Want to try low carb... help?
I just watched the movie Fat Head and the idea of lowering carbs and raising your fat intake was so interesting and eye opening to me. He lost 12 lbs in 28 days and lowered his cholesterol and other things. I want to do this but don't really know where to set my numbers at? OR are my numbers fine the way they are/should I…

overweight subway employees
I just ate a delicious lunch at subway and noticed that one employee was morbidly obese (at the cash register sitting down because she could hardly walk) and the rest were overweight (with the exception of 1 employee who seemed "average.") I know that subway couldn't NOT hire these people for being big because of…

Does it matter how many calories I burn?
I keep seeing people on here who burn 600-1000 calories at the gym, when I'm only burning 250-400. Should I aim to burn more? I am eating right at or below my daily calorie allowance, so does it matter whether I burn a lot as long as I'm being active?
-
un-rewards?
I read that instead of creating "rewards" for reaching goals, you create "un-rewards." An example they gave was: "If I don't lose 5 lbs by august, I will give $20 to charity." I wanted to know if anyone else did this and if it was more successful than creating rewards? I have tried rewards and I can't stick to it long…

I lose more when I'm not trying...
This isn't something that has happened once, but a few times before. I will be using MFP, counting calories, going to the gym 5 times per week for 60 mins per day, cutting out soda and fast food, etc and I won't lose anything. Then I'll stop trying and eat what I normally would and do "light" exercises like swimming…

Should I? Or no?
I got asked out on a date for tomorrow night. However, my boyfriend and I just broke up on thursday and it's been very difficult to get over. We dated for a year and still talk every day since breaking up. We are talking about getting back together but he's not concerned about when. I hate waiting around in this "in…

Adipex question
I do not take Adipex but am just wondering. I am reading on here and a lot of people are saying that once you go off it, you gain "all the weight back." Well, if you continue to eat healthy and follow a fitness plan will you still gain that weight back? Or is it just the people who rely only on the pill, still eat bad, and…

Needing some extra support/encouragement!
Some of you might have read my post last night that my boyfriend and I broke up yesterday afternoon. Sigh. Well not just that, it's that TOM plus I'm an emotional eater. It's really hard dealing with all these things at once, not to mention I feel like my head fell off somewhere and I can't find it. I feel like I cannot…

We broke up :(
I was having a great day: awesome morning workout, great meals, class went good, and then.... me and my boyfriend broke up. I literally don't know how to feel. I cried for about 2 hours and now I just have a numb feeling. I have a night class and don't know how I'm going to make it through without bursting into tears.…

Good websites for becoming vegetarian/vegan?
I'm interested in learning a little more about becoming a vegetarian and then working my way up to a vegan. There's just so much information out there I don't know where to start. Anyone have any helpful sites that got them started or that have good info? Thanks!

Need advice
MFP has my daily calories set at 1510. I have looked up a few other calorie calculators because I want to try zig zagging. Every other calculator I enter my weight and height and it tells me my daily calories should be 1760. They even say that 1760 creates "rapid weight loss" and puts me at "rock bottom" for my daily…

I'm bigger than my boyfriend..
I weigh more than my boyfriend (I'm also taller, so maybe that has something to do with it?). He loves me and my curves JUST the way they are. So much, in fact, that he continues to bring me to taco bell and other unhealthy places. I always ask him to be more supportive and not bring me to those places, but he says he is…

negative in carbs
It's only lunch time and I'm already in the negative for my carbs!! I know there are good and bad carbs, but mine seem decent: whole wheat breads, grain cereal, etc. On most days I'll usually be between 0 to -10 carbs, so could this hinder my weight loss in the long run?

Probably stupid but...
Yesterday I did weights for the first time in FOREVER. I stretched really good beforehand but obviously still got sore because that's pretty much the first time I've seriously attempted arm workouts. How long should I wait until I can do weights again? Is it bad to power through the soreness and do arm exercises again…

tall ladies
I'm 5'11'' and when I lose 20 lbs it isn't noticeable except in the way my clothes fit, and other people don't notice. So I wanted to ask: 1) How tall are you? 2) How are you built? (big frame, small?) 3) Whats your starting, highest, current, and goal weight? 4) If you are in the process of losing weight or have reached…

2nd time around on MFP!!!
Hey everyone! This is my second time around on MFP. The first time I absolutely loved it and lost around 8 lbs. I ended up falling off the wagon and deleted my account. It was during finals week at college and I became so stressed that I stopped exercising and stopped caring about what I put into my mouth. However, I'm…
