That there is NO "one-size-fits-all" approach to good health and fitness. There is so much judgement and so much "unscientific" opinion in the "fitness world" and too many people who have made positive changes that then feel like what they did should work for everyone else. And oh so many who are ready, willing and able to…

Great question @jdlobb. I have been asking myself the same thing. I recently signed up for the paid version of MFP so that I can track the micros as well. I have long suspected that I am not getting enough potassium, since I have issues with muscle cramping, and my tracking has shown that my instincts were correct. I was…

I am going to give this a try, even though I set an earlier goal of only losing a pound a week since I am attempting to add regular weight training sessions into my exercise routine. I am cautious about relying on the scale, instead of inches lost, since I expect there will be a little bit of a rebound of weight as I add…

Since I am now indoor cycling for the winter months, and walking as much as possible I am going to set two challenges: 150 min of "spinning" per week (600 min or 10 hours) 10 miles per week of walking (40 miles

Ok I am in, I set a goal last month to incorporate strength straining back into my fitness routine, but I wasn't successful :( I walk or cycle everyday and have lost 12 pounds since starting with MFP 52 days ago, but I know that I need to get strong again. So hoping this challenge will motivate me to get started again and…

I WANT to do this, but I'm hemming because Thanksgiving dinner without a special bottle of wine to go with our turkey, well not sure I can do that ....... and the day after we will cut our tree and visit our favorite winery afterwards. Can I say no alcohol for the month except those two days?

Love my Vitamix. If you get the recipe book that came with mine, it is great. I use it for smoothies, soups, dips, and the one recipe I make ALL the time is hummus! The recipe is simple, easy and healthy. One other thing that is so easy to do is make frozen desserts. My favorite simple healthy desert is to take frozen…

Add me in. My story is similar. Was in great shape in 2012, even ran my own indoor cycling studio, but then LIFE happened! Now after losing my mom and two younger siblings, one of whom I wss a caregiver during her fight with cancer, and my own knee replacement surgery last November, well I don't recognize that strong, fit…
