(OPEN) 21 Days No Junk Food Challenge!
This challenge is October 10 - October 31 (You may start a day early if eating candy on Halloween can't be avoided) :bigsmile: I'm doing this as a personal challenge, but thought that others may want to join in. :drinker: Not everything on this list is a junk food for everyone. For example, natural peanut butter is very…

Full time work with full time school?
Anyone else out there struggling with this situation? OMG it's tough to work 40 hours a week and have a full time courseload. :sad: I'm "only" taking 12 credits, but when you add in the study/homework time, I'm basically working two full time jobs. Anyone else in this groupd doing the same thing? If so, I offer you my…

side planks- wrist pain?
I've been doing a workout DVD that includes side plank moves (6 Week 6 Pack by JM) and I know that they are supposed to strengthen your arms and abs, but for me... the only place that I feel it is in my wrist! I seriously feel as if my little wrist is going to snap in half, and kind of fear doing the side planks. I do have…

saying good-bye to unrealistic "goal clothes"
Has anyone else dealt with this? I have a pair of jeans that I have been dreaming about fitting back into since I started this weight loss journey/diet/lifestyle change/etc. They are size 10's. They fit me at my low weight of 135, which was my original goal weight. However... I was 20 years old and had an eating disorder.…

for those of you with low calorie goals...
and by "low" I mean under 1400. I have a net calorie goal of 1310, and yesterday I didn't exercise and decided to power through and stick to the 1310 for the day... It was pretty tough. At the end of the day, I felt deprived and that my day had been far too diet-y to me. I tried to eat 100-200 calories every couple of…

Sedentary or Active?
Here's a possibly dumb question from a "pro" dieter... (and I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but my search results were inconclusive for me) Should I be set at "sedentary" or "active"? I have a desk job. I sit down for 8 hours a day at work, getting up and walking around to do trivial office tasks maybe hourly.…

half pound a week or 1 pound a week?
Some people on the boards say that if you are aiming to lose less than 15 pounds, that you should have your weight loss goal set to 1/2 pound per week, otherwise you will be losing muscle mass... I'm planning to lose a pound a week and have 12 pounds left to lose... Is there truth to this theory? I eat quite a bit…

Home gyms!
What do you have at your home for exercise? I don't have a "gym" at home, but I have lots of exercise options throughout the house! - Nordic Track skier (from 1995, still works!) - recumbant bike - mini-trampoline - some dumbells (5-10 pounds) - a few DVDs (The Firm, mostly) What do you do at home for exercise? I love…

Days of rest = eating less?
I'm loving MFP so far! I feel like I've found what is going to work for me to lose the final 13 pounds and to keep it off. I am a wee bit concerned about what I'm going to eat on days of rest. So far I've been able to live with this plan because I have been exercising every day. But I do tend to take one day of rest a…

From WW to IE to My Fitness Pal!
Hello everyone! I was a successful Weight Watchers member who lost 76 pounds (from 220 to 146) and then switched to Intuitive Eating to maintain that loss... Yeah, it didn't work out so well! So instead of going back to WW, I've decided to try out My Fitness Pal to re-lose a few pounds and to go on to get to my ultimate…
