A lot of my friends have become really sporadic &/or dropped off the face of the earth. I need more/active friends, add me if you're active!

I need some more/active friends, anyone looking for friends can add me!

I'm in Plymouth :) *waves*

I've actually only been out once this summer, mostly because I'd rather ride with a friend than by myself. I'm hoping to get out riding on Monday since it's a holiday & will be cooler next week, maybe I can get out a few times this fall.

I have a Zephyr HxM heart rate monitor, & I use it with my Android phone, it syncs with both MFP & Endomondo. I've had no problems with it & definitely recommend it.

Zephyr HxM. I like it because it works with my phone & Endomondo.

I know I don't eat enough fruits & veggies, so I take a women's multivitamin & a chewable vitamin c, & I also take a calcium chew since I very rarely drink milk.

I could use a few more ACTIVE friends. Anyone who logs & comments once in a while who wants more friends, please add me :smile: I log every day & try to give atta-boys/girls on workouts & losses.

I think I've heard of that for some reason, but I agree, it sounds gross. And wouldn't it just melt once you fry it? So doesn't that just leave you with some buttery-tasting fried batter, with nothing left inside?

This is a simple one if you're just starting out: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/

I'm not sure if this falls under best or worst... but check out the links on this page: http://www.sonicarchives.com/smell/index.php I've watched the videos for Gemet Gemet & Somebody's Got an Axe to Grind so far. It's different! :bigsmile:

I'm 50, so I could go down to mid 40's, up to around 57... maybe.

Hi Brad, yes it stores it but it doesn't always transmit it later. I've hardly ever had it lose connection, usually the only time it's done that for me is if I switch between wifi & mobile data & stop my workout before it re-establishes the connection. It's usually operator error when I've had this happen, and a few times…

I have a Polar but didn't like having to wear a watch, I did some more research & bought a Zephyr HRM that just uses a chest strap & send the info. to my phone & MFP, & the battery is rechargeable. I love it & like it a lot better than the Polar.

I just turned 50 a couple months ago, always looking for new friends - I sent you a request. -Anyone can feel free to add me, too! :smile:

I've been here for a while but I can always use new friends who are active posters - if anyone wants to add me I'm happy to help support you on your journey, too!

Something more to be thankful for today :)

Another person checking in from the state of Minnesota!

I live in MN too, it's taking me a little time to adapt to how early it's getting dark now, but I live in an apartment building with a fitness room so I can work out any time I want to. My problem in following through just recently is there are big windows with no window coverings, so it feels like the dead of night (so my…

There are a few reduced fat cheeses in the grocery store - you can buy the Laughing Cow wedges if you want a creamy cheese, but there are also reduced fat shredded cheeses that are actually pretty good. Depending on your grocery store you may have to look harder to find them, but they're out there.

I like a lot of Hungry Girl recipes, I just googled "hungry girl mac and cheese" & found these: http://www.hungry-girl.com/show/comfortably-yum-too-ez-mac-n-cheese-recipe http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/show/2610 http://www.hungry-girl.com/show/under-200-cheeseburger-mac-attack-recipe…

Wow, I didn't read through all of these (no time) but it's good to see that some people - including men! - actually get it. Marriage takes effort by both parties, and if both people aren't willing to work at keeping it together, it falls apart.

That's a good question - you can be obvious, but to some men you might come across like you're chasing the guy. It's impossible to know which ones are "dumb as a post" and you have to be over the top obvious for them to get it, vs the ones who can tell you're interested but they aren't interested in you. Quite the…

I only record it in MFP weekly (first thing in the morning, like others said), and even then, I only record if there was a loss. If I'm curious enough at any other time to weigh myself, I don't record it.

Looks like some people lost quickly, & some lost / are losing slower - but WOW everyone, it's so encouraging to see all these losses - fast or slow it's all awesome as long as we lose it & keep it off!!!! Great job, everyone!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

I started tracking here Sept. '12, I recorded my first loss on 9/9/12 so it's taken me roughly 11 months to lose 70 lbs.

I sympathize, it can be really hard!!! But nobody can make you want to follow any particular eating plan, it has to be something you want to do & are willing to stick with. I'd be happy to encourage you & celebrate any successes, if you want a friend :) Personally I recommend you don't cut out the foods you love, just…

Feel free to add me, I'm in your target range & I need to work on more variety & some better options, as I continue losing.

Oh that's awesome, I'll put a couple in front of the tv & then I can build muscle without any effort at all, while I'm watching tv - woohoo!! :tongue:

The Heat, it was hilarious! :laugh:
