Glad you figured it out! It is easy once you do it the first time! It is important that you eat most of the calories MFP gives you back for your exercise. There is already a deficit built into the program. It would help you to go tho the different sections such and read the sticky notes that are there that will tell you…

Kenna, In order to add friends you click their name (its in blue under their picture). It will take you to a page that will say send message, request friend or add friend (whichever), and sometimes view diary. Click friend request and write the person a message and send it! Very easy to do!

See we really do have things in common! :)

Thank you for accepting me as a friend!

Hi Kenna! I'm Carol, 55 year old RN from Oregon. I have a lot more weight to lose than you but I would love to be your friend! Everyone needs friends to encourage them while changing their lifestyle to a more healthy one! I too suffer from SAD and I have to admit I live in the wrong place to have that problem, we have rain…

I could not agree more! Your advice is so far out of wack! Listen to Glados and Rae!

I boil them, remove the skins and then mash with some OJ, grated orange peel, a little sugar and cinnamon. I sometimes some land of lakes light butter with canola oil!

This is the best post I have seen on here! Thank you so much. I shared it on my page as well. Thank you.

138 sticks of butter and counting!

Soft serve vanilla ice cream with pickled beets.. so darn good, my favorite ever! Hot dogs with chili and coleslaw ketchup and mustard. My 2nd favorite food in the world

I wear my fitbit all day everyday. I love it! It does count some steps when I am driving not too bad and you can separate those steps from other activity by pressing the button for two seconds when you get into the car to go somewhere and then press it again when you are done. No big deal. I find it is very accurate on…

We plan our menu out ahead of time and I log what I am eating a day or two in advance, especially when I am working. It really helps he stay on track. If I don't eat what is there I change it right away.

I have to say the first time someone called me mam , i went home and cried. I was 30 and it felt like I was over the hill! Too funny!

Phrase: It ain't over till the fat lady sings.. Food: soft serve vanilla ice cream with pickled beets on it.

I think it is perfectly fine. It is a dairy so that part is cool too as long as your getting your other nutrients as well. I know you are unable to do any real exercise but are you able to go for short walks? It could help you increase your daily calories and make you not worry about your ice cream!

Oso, 12 year old Black lab/German Shepard mix. Just got rescued by the fire department today when he slid down a mountain side and landed on a small cliff about 75 or so feet from the ground. There was no way for him to get back up the mountain or down. The fire department had to rappel down 125 feet to get him. He is now…

I really want to do the warrior dash. Unfortunately, I am still at the point I can't run and have no upper body strenght. So am aiming for next year. I did sign up for Bay to Breakers (walking that one) and a color run (my first 5k in 25 years). One step at a time!

What a beautifully written tribute to Aiden on his day. So glad your daughter was born and is not happy and healthy. She is so lucky to have you for a father. I am sure you are an amazing one.

Tummy tuck with a boob job on the side. Oh well what can I say?

Very nice!

You are not eating enough! 1390 and that active? I would be starving too! Eat back your exercise calories! Up your calories. Feed your body.

This sounds awesome! Thank you.

Welcome! Glad your here. I know you will reach your goals using the info on MFP. It is a wonderful resource. Feel free to add me if you need a friend for support!

I have never heard of it. Can you give us an idea what some of the rules you like are?

I saw so many bands in the early 70's - 90's that were the best in their own way. Joe Walsh, Joe Cocker, Jethro Tull, The Eagles, Elton John, Aerosmith, Seals & Crofts, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Black Oak Arkansas, Grand Funk, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Boston, David Bowie, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper,…

Beyond Envious!

I have problems with severe back pain, I have had 2 back surgeries. I suggest start small like you did. Try walking 3 or 4 times a day at the 5 minutes and increase by one minute every other day. It is easier on your body to spread time out. Another suggestion would be to walk in the pool until you are stronger you will be…

Nice!

I would keep trying!! I bet you would get it in no time! its probably great exercise! I can't walk a straight line let alone skate and would have a broken hip in 5 minutes. lol

I am in. Using my fitbit as well!
