Looking for friends with open diaries!
Hello! I'm 23, 5'3" and 141lbs looking to get down to 120lbs. I'm from the UK and I'm a vegetarian. I have my diary open for friends to view. I love seeing other people's food diaries so I'm looking for new friends who have their diaries open. It would also be nice to meet some other vegetarians or people with similar…

Ideas for weight-loss milestone rewards? What are yours?
I've seen some people on here with 'rewards' on their profiles, i.e. something that they are going to treat themselves to once they hit a particular weight loss milestone. However I'm struggling to come up with ideas for what I could do for my rewards. I'm poor and don't have much money to spare, so I can't really afford…

NSV - my 'new' t-shirts are now my 'old' ones
Before I started losing weight I was a size 14 in t-shirts (US size 10). By August 2012 I had lost 15lbs, and my t-shirts were beginning to look really baggy. So I went out and bought some size 12 t-shirts (US size 8). They fit wonderfully, and flattered my figure. My 14 t-shirts were now my 'old' shirts, which I only wore…

What are you guys going to do over the Christmas holidays?
It's just over 11 weeks until Christmas and I've been worrying lately about what I'm going to do about my diet over the holidays. I like to spend Christmas at my boyfriend's family's house, and they don't hold back on the festives. During the holidays their house is filled with all sorts of amazing grub.. cakes, sweets,…

Looking for some new UK buddies! :D
Hey! I'm Emily, I'm 19 and I live in the UK. I've been on this site for a while but you can never have too many fitness pals to help support and motivate! I don't mind adding people from outside the UK but I find it's more fun interacting with people in the same time-zone as me. So if you're from the UK or nearby, I'd love…

Very muscly legs... Anything I can do?
I've had very muscly calves all my life. I've never done dance classes or joined a sports team or exercised at all really. They are just naturally muscly. My mum is the same. I have a bit of weight left to lose, but if I tense my calf muscles I can feel that there is no more fat on the bottom halves of my legs any more.…

UK people: What heart rate monitor do you use?
And how much did it cost? I'm trying to find one that is good and under £20. I'm not having much luck. There's a good one on Amazon at the moment which is cheap and marked down from £50, but it says "usually dispatches within 1 to 3 MONTHS" so I'd quite like one I can actually get my hands on soonish.

Bit of an odd question for the ladies...
If you are a healthy weight, when you stand with your legs together, are you supposed to have a gap in between your thighs? I ask because I've heard so many people talk about "chub rub" which happens when you are overweight and you wear a skirt or dress and your thighs rub together as you walk causing painful sores. I've…

Does sugar matter?
Hi, I've been on MFP for a while now and have so far managed to lose about 16lbs. However, in the past few days, I've gone up 2lbs. All this time, I've been tracking calories, carbs, fat, and saturated fat, but not sugar. Just out of curiosity, I went into settings this morning and switched on 'sugar'. I then went back…

Looking for some support & motivation buddies (18-25ish)
I'm Emily, 19 years old from England. On a mission to get down to 115lbs! I know this site is predominantly 30-50 year olds, and I have nothing against mature people at all, a lot of my friends are older than me, but sometimes I feel a little out of place. I'd really like to try and find some younger people to be fitness…
