Spouse Questioning Goals
My husband's worried that I'm trying to get too thin. I assured him I still have quite a ways to go- I'm 178 right now! The last time I dieted and got to a "healthy" 135, a lot of people stopped me to ask if I had cancer and he's afraid that this will happen again. I am 5 foot 7 and was thinking that I'd try to reach 150…

Weight gain- input?
I've put on 2 pounds ON in the last 3 days and generally have not really seen much in the way of inches coming off. I feel healthier, but wondered how common this is. It's not going to deter me, but it feels frustrating. Any insightful input?

10,000 Steps
I try to walk 10,000 steps a day. Does that count as exercise or just what I should be doing normally? In other words, should I log this? If so, how? Thanks for any input.

Exercise or not with pain?
Yesterday I started to get calf pain, but shook it off. I was in incredible pain this morning, took some medicine and now have to decide whether to work through it, stretch and still do my 5 miles of walking today and elliptical or take a day off. It feels like deep pain running down my calf muscles. Any helpful advice…

10000 Steps
I have just bought a pedometer and was planning on doing 10,000 steps 3 times a week and starting abs (slowly) 3-4 times a week. How effective is the 10,000 steps? Does your body catch on to this exercise quickly and start becoming inefficient too soon? Any thoughts?

Weird clothes sizes
Help! The good news is that I have been losing weight; the bad news is my body is misproportioned! I am now a 38 inch hip and a 32.75 inch waist! Where do I get flattering clothes and how the heck do I get a smaller waist? This is driving me crazy! I am hoping to lose about 10 pounds and start focusing on building up some…

Halloween
Okay - how many others of you are thinking - hmm, it's mid-July. This gives me three and a half months to get in shape for a cool Halloween costume? My sister got me some rocking thigh-high boots that may just need a superhero to fill! How about you all?

Hello
I recently joined MFP. I'm a mom with three kids, fairly white and nerdy, and looking for a support system. I want to lose about 25 pounds and then stay on for maintenance for life, while slowly introducing new foods. I'm taking advantage of summer in California and eating crazy amounts of fruits and vegetables, eschewing…
