For anyone suffering from depression!
I'm not sure how widely known this is, but I came across it as I was searching for lean protein options. Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish) may help those who struggle with depression. The articles were clear that it's not a "fix all" solution. They mention that it has helped some forms of depression, and can sometimes…

Need ideas for having a yard sale.
I live in an apartment so, obviously, I can't have it here (insurance doesn't cover random people who may or may not get hurt, you know the drill). I guess I'm not sure how else I can have a yard sale. I would like to purge some excess stuff from my life and get a little money for it. Any ideas?

I've done some research, but still would like some advice.
Ok, I'm just curious what kind of advice you guys have for my situation. I'll give a little info first: Weight: about 265 currently Height: 5'4" Calorie goal w/o exercise: 1897 (I eat back my workout cals) Every calculator I've used has put me at 1900+ for my BMR and 2700 (give or take) for my TDEE at light activity. So,…

Leasing vs. buying a car...
I'm currently upside-down on my car loan and considering trading it in to lease a car. I've never leased before, but I've talked with the dealership and I've done some of my own research. I guess I'm just nervous that this will turn out to be not as awesome as I'm hoping. Anyone have experience with leasing or any advice…

Making sure I'm doing the right thing...
About me: 5'4" 269 lbs. Calorie goal on a normal day is 1600-1700 (I also eat back most of my workout calories). I started MFP using only my elliptical about 2-3 times per week. My new plan (which I put in place this week): Sun/Tues/Thurs - 30 minutes of C25K and 30 minutes strength training. Mon/Wed/Fri - 20 minutes on…

A few inactive/silent friends.
Hello fellow MFPers. I'm just looking for a few more friends to help with motivation/advice :) A few of my friends have either become inactive or are pretty quiet. Here's a little about me: I'm 29, two jobs, and I'm finishing my accounting degree this year (woohoo!). I'm 5'4" and I have 39 lbs to go to meet my first goal…

Boobies and Weight Loss
My question is: when a woman loses weight, do her breasts lose that weight first? Or is this just a myth? I could google this, but I'm headed out to work right now. Plus, the responses here will probably be hilarious ;) So, proceed, MFPers...let's hear it. On a personal note: I would like it if this were true. 1) Easier to…

I'm back and feeling more confident this time around.
I'm back after about a year of avoidance. And, of course, have gained weight since. Last time I was here, I didn't want to involve anyone else as I have an extremely independent personality. I have a tendency to fall back on the "I can do it myself!" mentality. This time, different approach :) So, I'm 28 years old, 2 jobs,…
