Face comparison 40+ lbs
Here you have it, my first ever success post. Hard work, cleaning up my diet with more home cooking and less packaged crap. This has been about much more than weight, but it's been an amazing journey. The top is my sophomore year of college, the next is from my last Saturdays game. (I'm now a senior, so two years…

Hello, I want to buy myself a new pair of running headphones because I am going to rip up my in-the-ear style headphones because I haven't found any that will actually stay in my ear (after 4 miles the sweat tends to make them just fall out).

Who else gets exercise through sports?
Hey there, I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who got most of their exercise by actually playing sports. I play Ultimate at least two nights a week, and will also play basketball a few times a week. Just this week I've played Ultimate for the past three days, and tonight I have a league that starts up…

Made me laugh, so why not share?!
Welcome to America! I laughed harder at this than I should have. Probably had to do something with the women in the break room at work talking about why they don't walk at lunch....or anytime for that matter. >_>

My little rant =)
Should I eat more? Should I eat less? I think this "eat more to weigh less" is stupid! I think you should "eat more to weight less! Blah. Blah. Blah You know what, stop treating your body like it's exactly like everyone else's. If you are stuck, or want to try something new, then try something new. Who knows, maybe upping…

Hello all, I am new to the world of cycling, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. I have always liked to bike, but the only bike I ever had were cheap little Huffys and such from Walmart.

About 1 years difference. Face only.
I know I don't have as extreme of a number change as some people do on here, but I have been successful. I noticed it more once I was looking through some pictures. This is a picture of me from somewhere in early 2011 after the band season had finished. The other picture is one of me. As a background, I'm 6'2" and worked…

Shopping list on a college budget, help?
Alright, I need to make a list of things that I can get to stock up my mini fridge and some snacks that are healthy but cheap.

Protein Level Suggestion
Can someone suggest what a good range of protein for me would be? I know that MFP set it really low, and when I go to the gym I tend to take a scoop or two of powder because I am looking to gain muscles and fight post-workout hunger. I tend to lift pretty heavily when I go to the gym with a two on one off schedule. Any…

Only you can hold you back
So, I was reading an article from my hometown about the obesity rates in Ohio and WV (3rd highest in the nation), and some people were commenting on it blaming everything but themselves for not being able to loose weight.

BMI Questions and Frustrations
My BMI is 27.4, which is in the "overweight" range for myself. (6' 2" 214 lbs.) Does any one else feel like sometimes, BMI isn't a good way of measuring how "in shape" you are since it only takes into account your height and weight? According to the standard scale, I am supposed to weigh around 194 lbs to be considered…

Help with my exercise plan!
Okay, so I've been doing strength training for a while now, but I don't really see the results I'd like to. I do believe it's because I'm doing almost all of my exercises every time I go to the gym, so I've reached a plateau. I've decided that I'm not going to do as much when I go to the gym, but rather switch up my…

Hello, I have been working out with weights and cardio for some time now and have been looking for a little more results from my lifts.
