Gaining weight while losing sizes. Advice please.
I've gained some weight back recently. People keep saying I look like I've lost weight, when in all reality I've gained almost 15 pounds from my lowest point. I'm back up to the same weight I was when my little sister got married. But you know what? My bridesmaid's dress is *way* too big. Well too big except for around my…

Ridell Wicked vs. Ridell Vandal
I'm looking to upgrade my skates. When I first started derby I bought some of the cheapest skates available (Sure Grip Rebels) with the plan that those would become my "outdoor" skates if I stick with derby. Needless to say, I have fallen in love and derby is now my life. It's totally time to buy some real derby skates. I…

40 pounds down in 5 months (half way to goal)
I started my new "life style change" in early October. My overall goal is to lose 80-90 pounds, so I'm officially half way there! I didn't believe everyone who said they could tell I'd lost weight, so I decided to make some comparison pictures. The before pics were taken in September.

Alcohol and Calories
St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow. That being said I felt like it would be a good idea to post a reminder about the calorie content of alcohol for those who will be celebrating. On St. Patrick's Day alcohol has no calories. That is all!

Tonight I bought a Polar FT4 with my Christmas money. I'm so excited to use to tomorrow! For those of you that have experience with HRMs, is this a good one?

Day one of 30ds done... And I feel like I'm going to die.
My little sister gave me 30ds and some hand weights for Christmas and I was so excited, I couldn't wait to get started! I've been doing cardio at the gym and it's not uncommon for me to stay on the elipitical for 45-60 minutes. I figured a 20 minute DVD workout would be a cake walk compared to that. How wrong I was.…

NSV and horrible set back... all at once.
My little sister has asked me to be her Maid of Honor in May. This (among others) was one of my main motivators to start losing weight. I was a size 20 when I started this journey. Today we went to David’s Bridal to match her dress with the bridesmaids dresses. I helped her put on her dress, and then started trying on…

What does NSV mean?
I'm new to the community and can't for the life of me figure out what it means. I'm sure its painfully obvious... But I'm just not getting it.

Should I go to the gym tonight?
Sorry if some think this might be spam.. but I need someone elses opinion. I'm tired, my knees hurt, and I just overall feel like crap. I think my body might be rebelling against me because of the amount of time I've spent exercising the last few weeks. So the question is.. do I go to the gym tonight? If so, should I work…

New to the community
My name is Tracy and I live in Lawrence, KS. I've had MFP installed for a while now on my phone, but just started using it a few months ago. My goal is to lose 60+ pounds, so I have a pretty long road ahead of me. One question I have: When I signed up for the account about 6 months ago I weighed less than when I actually…
