I need friends!
Hi everyone! So I'll give you a little back story. I am not necessarily "new" to MFP. Actually back in the day I was pretty darn popular. However, like the majority of us here, I fell off the wagon and no part of me wanted to diary the McDonalds cheeseburgers I was eating 3 times a day. EEK! Long story short, I've been a…

A little background before I explain the situation I am in. I am 23 years old, but much more mature than most of my friends. I tend to gravitate towards people 30+ (or at least people who act that age) because I enjoy myself much more around those type of people. I've got two best friends, one my roommate (also 23) and…

Youtube Videos/Google+
Hello Everyone: Okay, so one of my friends started a youtube account and is posting videos geared towards MFP.

They did not help me stay awake, so if i was tired I would add a red bull or two on top of them. Since I started dieting, I have tried to cut these drinks out of my diet. I will substitute a pepsi for a sparkling…

Cheat days?
I've been thinking about giving myself one "Cheat" day per week. Here are my reasonings. In the past, whenever I have dieted, I have felt deprived of my favorite foods including pizza and cheesecake.
