Childhood obesity awareness ads
Have you guys seen these ads attempting to raise awareness for childhood obesity? I am interested in hearing what other people think about them, but please ONLY respectful conversation. http://www.facebook.com/lepsteen#!/FatChickFedUp/posts/227827443961340 (It's not spam, I promise.

Losing weight while pregant
Wasn't sure exactly where to categorize this topic, but I wanted to get other thoughts/opinions on this. To give you some context, my current weight is 299.9, so it's not like I am already at a healthy weight and worried about gaining during a pregnancy (btw, not pregnant yet, just thinking about it-this will be my 5th).…

My Jillian Michaels NSV
I started Jillian Michaels for Beginners (I know, I'm a pansy) earlier this week. My first day I coud only get through 2.5 circuits and I thought I was dying. This morning I rocked all 6 circuits without stopping. Boom baby! :happy:

Workout Videos-Need suggestions please!
My videos are due back at the library. I can keep them for up to 6 weeks and I figured that was a great amount of time to really master a video but not to get too bored and then I would switch it up right around the time my body gets too used to it. So I am compiling a list and would love your suggestions. FYI, I am just…

One Month Progress Pictures

Advice for post-workout?
So I have been at this for about a month and a half now. I am doing well but I haven't gotten to the point with working out that I am actually looking forward to working out or that I can notice a difference in my energy levels and how I feel physically. After I work out, I am so physically drained that all I want to do is…

To join a gym or not, what say you?
Hi all, let me give you a bit of a background. I have a little less than 200 pounds to use, have a treadmill and have used DVD workouts. I have lost consistently for the last month so I know that I can lose weight at home. Recently a local gym had a huge remodel and we went to their open house on Saturday. The facility is…

Does MFP automatically adjust calories?
Not sure if this is the right place for this but I was wondering if MFP automatically adjusts calories down as you lose weight so you can maintain your desired weight-loss per week? Am I making sense? I was just figuring that as I lose weight my calorie needs will probably go down as well right? Do I have to re-enter my…

My weight-loss blog
Are we allowed to share blog links on here? I don't make $ from my blog but would love to have some fellow MFP followers following my blog to encourage, inspire and support each other. I wrote a post today about MFP. I suppose if it's not allowed someone will delete this thread, but if not I hope someone finds something…

Tennis shoe recommendations
Hey all, I cannot honestly remember the last time I wore a pair of tennis shoes. I was hoping maybe someone could make a good recommendation. I am not going to be doing any hardcore running right away (though I would love to start running eventually, I am sure I will go through a couple of pair of shoes before I get to…

Newbie here and FED UP!!!!
Fed Up with being judged before anyone gets to know me based just on my size. Fed Up with not being able to keep up with my kids. Fed Up with not being able to buy cute clothes and shop in a regular store. Fed Up with running out of breath going up a flight of stairs. I'm just fed up and determined to do something about…
