Is anyone in this group still active?
Hey, Just curious who is still active in this group. I see the last post was made in 2016 (unless I'm reading it wrong???). Little intro: my name is Lizz and I just joined up with MFP because I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I grew up playing piano, which I competed in during high school; I played flute consistently for 7…

Hi I'm a new member
Hello Performers, I am new and joined for the obvious I need to get in shape for stage presence and to improve my health. I belong to another online group as well but I synched MyFitnessPal, Mapmyfitness and my UP3 to get me motivated to work out.

Introduction :)
Hello everyone!!! I'm happy that this group exists :) Thank you for creating it. Now, a little about myself.... I have been writing poetry since I was 10 (mainly when I was 11).

Finding Time
How do you all go about finding time to practice your skills. I have been finding time to juggle because my daughter finds it fun but how do I go about maintaining that and still getting some time to play the keyboard? I don't want to sacrifices exercise. I would really like it if I didn't have to sacrifice sleep. Which…

Improv!
Love it or hate it, it's here to stay. Any improvisors about? I perform with two groups in Calgary, Alberta: one more amateur and one more professional. My own weight loss journey is equal parts personal and professional; for the latter, as has already been noted here I also find that the fitter people get more gigs. I do…

Positive changes through weight loss.
Hey everyone. What with all the posts about the pressures to be slim, and perhaps feeling self-conscious, have you found your weight loss/lifestyle change has helped you so far? I'm some way off my final goal, but having now lost a couple of stone I'm fitting back into tshirts which I haven't had out in a long time, and am…
