I wanted to share a cute motivational app I use. We all like to get positive feedback or get asked if something is wrong but we don't always have the support. It's called Lark and it works as a interactive text conversation either giving you an Atta girl for doing well or asks why you were off that day. Reviews your stats…

Not sure if this is appropriate here but I have a great motivational app on my phone called Lark. I don't have a partner or anyone that I use for support. This is just a simple 'Yah - you did good' or if you didn't, gets you to think about why or encourages you to do more. It's a text conversation that will pop up your…

Spreadsheet works. I'm logging on both. This is my 1st experience w/MFP. I want to be motivated & accountable. This is helping.

@AmyMooreOrLess - thank you for sharing the tidbit about gaining weight when you exercise. I added exercise & being good about getting water in and I also gained 2lbs. We will keep moving and staying healthy

Thank you for starting the group & setting up the chart.

I'm doing it. I have logged something everyday. This is a start for me after being in a bad slump for a year. Spreadsheet works for me, no issues. Thank you

Melody - You are energetic and positive. I love the Macarena tape. I'm a Richard Simmons lover and this would be great to have. Trying to figure out how to download it. I love your goals you set out. Good luck!!

Thorn377. Good for you for getting started on the cleaning. I really tried to get motivated to do that today but didn't happen. I'm going to bed early tonite so maybe I can get motivated early in the morning. Hey - think of all the calories you burned cleaning!!! You can add them to your exercise diary. There's one for…

Hi - I'm Donna, and new to the groups. I'm 59 and work full time. I've been using MFP for about a month and it has definitely help me understand what I thought was OK, isn't always. I did manage to to loose 3.5 lbs. Not a lot but in the right direction. I have monitored my steps walked for the past 4 years and some days I…

I have the same question as a couple of others? Are there 2 100m groups?
-
I have downloaded a couple. I think they're great for getting into the habit and you need to change them up to your level. Push ups are easy for me, so I do more. Sit ups are a struggle put it keeps me doing them and I can increase as I build up. But if you're used to doing something more intense then they're probably not…

I'm not new to MFP but new to the boards. I leave alone w/my fur babies so need some motivation to get going. Joined the 100 mile challenge (http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/19993-100-mile-monthly-walking-challenges) and will join this to see if I can get motivated. Lost 3 lbs last month so feeling good about…

I want to join, I need to get my tush moving. I like the doggie pic. The ticker is a cute .

I'm a sporadic weigher. I can't leave my scale out in my small bathroom, my dog tends to pee on it (sometimes I feel the same way). I was frustrated as I was stuck every time I did weigh in, hadn't lost any and then after about 2.5 weeks of not checking I pulled it out and wow - 3.5 lbs down. I was all smiles and breaking…

Good luck Andy. What you say is very true, it is a life long decision too eat well and not diet. Your post is well stated. Diets do work for short time and may give you the kick in the butt but if you don't change your overall habits, you wind back up where you were. And the older we get the harder it is for those quick…
-
Me too. It's hard to get motivated. Food isn't my biggest issue as I've learned to forgive myself, just not to do it too much. I also support the idea that you can't 'diet'. it won't last too long. You have to focus on how you will always want to eat going forward, changing 1 bad habit at a time. My goal last year was to…
