Success stories
Since I've had no success (started MFP 4/1) I was hoping to read comments and testimonials from others who have used HRM's and MFP to reach goals. Since buying my HRM 7 days ago, I started eating within a 500 calorie deficit. Prior to my HRM, I was going by MFP, which was much lower than my HRM (like 300 calories lower)…

They passed them out to the kids then asked if any of the staff wanted any. Me and a couple of girls declined the cupcake. This one lady began eating a cupcake and said, "How can you refuse a…

Plateau's over! Wow!

Blew it this week
I don't know what happened, I was doing amazing for about a month. Then one splurge weekend for graduation, and mothers day and I haven't been able to get back in with my old eating habits. It seems like if I have food from my parents, or an excess of sweet food that I made for my friends and I, I must eat it. I don't even…
