I'm Back...Again.
Hello All! So I've had a lot of success using MFP but then life got the best of me. After my husband's plane crash two years ago I found it hard to diet or make it to the gym. I used having to care for him as a reason not to focus on my own health. Once he was back at work I went to work myself, having been a stay at home…

I'm Back I'm Back! I need support
Hey there, my name is Jane and I'm a repeat offender. I've said I was back to stay more times than I'd like to admit, and each time I SWEAR it's different. Well, this time it is.

Just started on Mobic and having issues...
I dislocated/tore/fractured my knee 10 months ago. My new orthopedic surgeon put me on Mobic as a first step in care. I was scheduled for surgery before we got orders to move. I started on Mobic 5 days ago...and my issue with it is it's making my knee hurt more. I'll take my pill in the morning and within an hour my pain…

Already hit a Plateau...what to do??
So I've lost just over 20 lbs...of my total goal of 80. And I've hit the dreaded plateau.

NSV....thanks to my drunk husband! (PG-13/R lol)
Last night as I helped my husband to bed after we spent the evening with his co-workers/classmates he's getting a little handsy. Now I've officially lost 20 lbs but still wear my old jeans because they were too tight to start with...so drunk Hubby starts pawing at me and pulls my pants down...still buttoned up. :) Now…

Eating exercise calories?
Im not convinced I'm burning as many calories as MFP says I am...so heres my question...should i stick to my original calorie goal and take whatever calories i burn as a bonus? or should i eat some of them? I've had enough trouble eating my goal calorie intake anyway I'm not sure I could boost it much.

New here!
Hi everyone! I'm newish to the site. I've been using the Iphone app but thought the actual site might help boost my mental state. I've been dieting for about a month now and shortly after I started I got hurt so exercise has been taken out of the equation completely until I'm better. I actually just regained walking…
