Help me with my Vison Boards!
I'm very visual, and thought I'd make a "Vision" board to put up on my wall to help motivate me/remind me to do what I need to do. I've been horrible lately, and really need to get on track and get some weight off (100 lbs). I bought poster board, pretty colored sharpies, etc. Now... I just need to figure out how to put…

The rudest thing anyone said to you about your weight?
We've all gotten the looks, the stares, heard the whispers behind our backs. But what was the rudest thing anyone ever said to your face about your weight? Mostly interested in what strangers have said... we all know our loved ones can be the most cruel at times, no matter how well intended. I worked customer service and…

Yoga - when will I be fit enough to try it?
I am currently 277 lbs (5'4") and have a torn acl in one knee and torn meniscus in both. These injuries are 2 1/2 - 3 years old, but never repaired due to no insurance. I would like to try yoga in the near future... I'm thinking maybe when I'm around 250??? Will I still be too big to do too many of the poses? The…

When will I stop peeing?
I started the 17DD yesterday and by dinner time I was constantly going to the bathroom... and all through the night while trying to sleep... at least once per hour! I'm guessing it was mostly the green tea (next pitcher I make will be 1/2 decaf). I realize the lemon water also works as a diuretic... but is it going to get…

Pros/Cons of the 17 Day Diet
I've just ordered this book and plan to start it within a week. I would like to know what you like and don't like about it. Also, if there is anyone in this group who has stuck with it for a fairly long time, I would like to know what makes you stick with this as opposed to other plans. Really hoping this gets my head in…

I was wondering if anyone has tried Neuro Trim beverages, and if so: 1. How is the taste? 2. What does it do for you? 3. Does it have a stimulating effect? 4. Does it have a diuretic effect? Thanks for the feedback!

Why are there cinnamon roll ads on MFP?
The one thing I don't need to see while navigating around MFP are ads for unhealthy items, like Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls. And not just once... this one seems to be following me!

WW info... Is this allowed?
I am looking for anyone who might have info on WW, or WW online. Thinking about joining the online one but would like to know more. And is this type of question okay on here?

What's the best and worst thing you did today?
We all need a pat on the back for what we did that was good, but we also need to be accountable for what we did that wasn't so good. So... time for a little pride, some pure honesty, and then time to forgive ourselves and move on!

Artificial Sweeteners
There are so many things said about artificial sweeteners, that I just have to believe what my body tells me about them. First of all, in using artificial sweeteners I have so many more options to reduce my calorie intake. However, one thing I read that is definitely true for me is that artificial sweeteners make you crave…

Looking for my Accountabilibuddy
Hi everyone! I joined this a while back but haven't been back to visit it. I have software that I purchased to track my food, exercise, etc. I really love it, and when I'm faithful to it I do very well. But it's easy to slip away and not stay focused or committed. I'm hoping that using MFP in conjunction with what I…
