Are you not entertained?
41 year old snarky female who speaks fluent movie and music quotes I hate dieting, trying to learn to love exercise again and somehow found myself in a 6 week crash challenge to get me off my butt. Looking for like minded friends who will keep me accountable and amused as we trudge our way through a life without our…

Slow and steady....right???
I KNOW that losing weight slowly is the way to keep it off and not lose muscle mass as well. I have my calories set to lose 1lb a week and I've been doing a half pound to a pound a week for the last month. So why am I mad that I'm not seeing that drastic scale drop??? I know it's not healthy to lose that fast and I won't…

Returning...could use some motivation
I need to get better at food tracking and making healthier choices. I have a love of craft beer, bbq, and pizza, plus a wicked sweet tooth and they all KILL me. I also love lifting weights, and so if you're a lifter, that would be awesome.

Curious...anyone from North Dakota?
I have a few fargoans on my friends list, curious if anyone else is from NoDak out there?

So I'm back...
I had a baby a month ago, and had been on MFP prior to that and did really well. Now I just need to take off the rest of my baby weight and those last pounds I didn't lose the first time. While I was gone a bunch of people on my FL either dropped me or have left the site, so I could really use some "fresh blood" so to…

totally not new but newly pregnant...anyone else??
OK, there has to be other gals on here who are expecting and trying to stay as healthy as possible while waiting for their bundle of joy. It would be fun to have some friends on here who are going through a similar life change.

What are you doing today to reach your goal? I am on week 4 of couch to 5k, which takes about a half hour, then I'll be doing another 30 minutes on the ARC or AMT. Also working to hit my macro's...protein especially and guzzling water like CRAAAZY!!!

Macros
OK....soo....a coworker wants me to run a 10k with him in October...which I said I'd do (because I'm insane) so...if I'm going to be focusing more on running and cardio now...should I change my macros to more carbs? or doesn't it really matter? Right now I'm at 30% carbs, and 30%fat and 40% protein. Thanks in advance!!

Ladies...BC question...
I'm sure this has been posted a zillion times, but I'm lazy to sue me. I just finished my last week of "active" pills and am contemplating quitting my pills. I'm currently on ortho tri, and am thinking being off of hormone bc will help with weight loss and fitness goals. Does anyone have any first hand experience with…

Smart people help me!!!
OK...I have been doing plasma donations for about 3 months now, and I've been taking iron supplements to keep my hematocrit levels high enough to donate with no problem. Now i've been doing harder exercise for the past month and have been having issues keeping my levels high enough to donate. Is there a link between the…

knee pain?
Is there a way to modify these at all with knee issues? I'm going to do my second workout tomorrow and I'm a little nervous about the lunges, or would just getting a kneee brace work?

Not enough time?
Does anyone else ever feel like there just isn't enough time in the day to get everything done that you WANT to? I love working out and how good it makes me feel, but I feel like everything else is just getting shafted. Laundry is piling up, I barely have time to make a decent dinner before I'm rushing out to get to the…

What is the weirdest thing you have done to impress the oppo
When I was in college I started watching WCW wrestling (that shows my age RIGHT THERE). To the point of going to not one, but TWO live events. Just so this guy would like me. We dated for about 2 months. To this day, guys are still impressed that I recognize some of the wrestlers names and i still remember some of the…

Family Circle Magazine
The February issues has a bunch of really good looking soup and chili recipes that look fairly healthy. Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone looking for some warm up recipes in the winter!

I love articles like these...
http://shine.yahoo.com/shine-food/best-worst-fast-food-meal-choices-173500043.html Of course, it's the "naughty" foods that look the best to me. Except I really do love BEC biscuits.

Need friends???

Commenting on people's food diaries
For the most part, do people want you to be honest and critical on their food diaries? i know that I do. If people see that I'm lacking in a certain area I want to hear about it so I can work towards making more healthy changes in my day to day life. Does everyone want that though? Does someone I only know casually on here…

Not enough Fat??
OK, so pretty much every day I'm under on my fat grams by quite a bit, which the obvious part of my mind thinks...duh...you're trying to lose weight, so that's a good thing. But then the evil over-analyzing part of my brain thinks it's NOT a good thing. I don't intentionally pick non fat foods or anything. I guess I just…

Hello!!

Anyone from ND/MN?
Is there anyone from this area of the world on here? Fargo metro area would be preferable, but any "local" friends would be great to have.

Did I mess up?
So I had to run errands today including running to walmart, while I was there I picked up one of those big tubs of protein powder with the intent of adding a little boost to my daily protein intake. ANYWAY, the trip ended up taking longer than I thought, so when I got back to work I just mixed that with 12 oz of skim milk,…

Nutrients
I have the 5 most important (to me) nutrients being tracked, but is there a way I can see the other ones? I don't have sodium as one of my 5, but I'd like to be able to see that as well.

Odd Question for the ladies
OK...this might be a little TMI, but here goes anyway. So I think i'm getting a yeast infection and I'm trying to figure out why. Is it possible from not changing my underwear right after working out? The dampness from sweat getting me all icky? Do you change right after a workout?

Starting out
So I am a total newbie when it comes to exercise. Is it good for my body to go from no exercise to 5 days a week? Or should I start with 4 days until my body gets used to it in a couple weeks? My plan is to do elliptical and weights 2 days a week, treadmill and weights 2 days a week and zumba one day a week. I worked out…

What brought you here?
So I'm curious to see what brought people here, to the point where they were really ready to lose weight. Mine was the fact that I I was worried about the buttons flying off my pants everytime I put them on. Plus I bought a bunch of new undeclothing type of things that I want to look HOT in. LOL. I suppose secondary…
