Random Questions for ladies about clothing sizes
Hi, women of MFP! (Or men who were just too curious to stay out of here) This is probably a pretty silly question - but does anyone know if "juniors" clothing sizes and "womens" clothing sizes are different? Is a 10 in juniors and a 10 in womens the same? I tend to shop in both sections, depending on what I'm shopping for,…

Lower confidence now than when I was +50lbs. Anyone else?
Would love all of your insights! Last night while unpacking (I just moved into a new place this past weekend), I tried on my favorite pair of jeans from college that I wore during my lowest adult weight up until now - a time I truly felt I looked great! They were HUGE (just about fell right off), which is wonderful, of…

ANY Baltimore/DC Area Tattoo Parlor Recommendations?
Hi, all! My boyfriend is buying me a tattoo for my Birthday! (No, not his name or anything like that...I'm not crazy! lol) I generally get all my tattoos done by the same person where I grew up in PA, however, I also have at least one tattoo from each area I've lived. I'm now living in the DC/Baltimore area (right in…

Wine and Chocolate NSV
Last night I got some very upsetting family news that honestly floored me. I had to hold back tears throughout my workday and all I wanted to do was go home, open the chocolate ice cream in the freezer and a bottle of wine, and demolish them both. INSTEAD, I went for a quick run, and then grabbed dinner with a friend -…

Online Recipe Storage?
Does anyone have a good site they use to store all their recipes? I have a TON and it would be so nice if they were stored in one place and I could pull it up on my phone when I'm cooking/at the grocery store. Just curious :)

Re-Motivating Myself! 5'5" and 26lbs gone :)
Hi, yall! I was one of those people who swore I'd wait to post until I hit my ultimate goal, if at all. However, I've been struggling the past few weeks with a very busy (and very fun) summer schedule full of parties and vacations, and "feeling fat" (as I've been often saying to my boyfriend these days, much to his…

Ladies! Birth Control Question!
So, after having to be off of Birth Control for about five years, I have an appointment on Monday morning to talk about going back on it (yay!). I'm looking for some insight on the different types, and what you like best and why. I was on Orthotricylcin-lo for years, and never had a problem with it, but I am slightly…

Ever hit a wall at the gym?
So, my friend is doing the Couch to 5k program. I've been a runner for about a year now, so I've been running along with her, but just doing straight runs or HIIT in the allotted time of her workout. Last night, we were supposed to do a 5 min warm up walk, 25 mins run, and five min cool down run. Not a big deal for me,…

Random side stitches? Thoughts?
For the past week or so, I've gotten some pretty painful side stitches while running. I'm certainly not new to it. I've been running at least four days a week (but usually six or seven) for the past three months or so. I've worked my way up to between 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 miles at a 7 1/2 min/mile pace (on average...some miles…

Same dress two months later!
I'm not sure if this will work, since I've never done it before, but the first two pictures are from a friend's wedding on September 10th. The last picture is from a friend's wedding on November 10th (unfortunately, I only have one and it's a bit dark). I don't know if you can really see much of a difference, but my tight…

When you're sick...
Just a quick question I've been pondering the past few days while suffering from a wretched cold... I have absolutely no appetite from this stupid thing, and my throat is killing me. I've been eating because I know I have to eat SOMETHING, but no where near as much as I should be (about 400 calories under 1200). What do…

Happy Birthday to me!
Hello, MFP! Today's my 24th Birthday, and while I've been using MFP religiously for about a month now, and have lost at least 3 lbs (probably a little more, I try not to weigh myself often), and I know people have been saying I look smaller and some clothes have been fitting better, I KNOW I could be doing even more. So,…

Cooking for 20...HELP!
My entire family (20 of us) is going to the beach for vacation in a few weeks. Each couple is assigned one night to cook for the whole lot of us. Anyone have any suggestions on what I could make for that amount of people while still being relatively healthy? (Bonus points if it's not too expensive!!!) I'd like to try to…

Frustrated!
I haven't weighed myself in a little over a month. To be honest, I'm not even sure what the exact weight I started using MFP was, because I recently moved and seemed to have misplaced my scale. Anyway, this weekend I weighed myself and I weighed six pounds more than I did a little over a month ago. I'm baffled, however,…
