I use Quest and have been pretty happy with it

Some new friends would be nice. Things have been kind of slow on my News Feed

Do yourself a favor and tune them out. You'll be miserable if you follow the less-than-informed advice of family and friends. If it fits into your caloric goal, there is nothing to feel guilty about. For what it's worth, losing 15 pounds in a month is something to be proud of.

I've been around for a little while but my timeline has gone quiet. A few new friends would be a welcome change

I like to make Steel Cut Oats, in a slow cooker, for Breakfast. A 24oz bag costs something like $5 at the grocery store and I can get 2 batches out of a bag (Almost 2 weeks depending on how large a serving you portion out - I like ~1.5 cups). I'm really picky about fruit and won't eat apples or bananas if they have been…

Hi, I won't be the most talkative person on your friends list, but I'm helpful whenever I can be. Friend Request sent

Hi Tyler, I took a quick look at your profile and you are off to a great start, welcome to MFP. I won't be the most talkative person on your friend feed but feel free to add me if you like.

What type of competitions are you looking to try? I shoot Production Division USPSA and and SSP (Stock Service Pistol) in IDPA. They are a lot of fun and each offer a variety of challenges. If 'running and gunning' isn't your thing, Steel League and NRA Competitions have a lot to offer. I shot a pretty lousy match in this…

I alternate between running outdoors and using an elliptical indoors. When I run into problems with a dry throat, it happens far more often indoors. I don't know if the warm gym with dry air makes the problem noticeable or if it is just a coincidence. What seems to help me is to take a short break (slow down - don't stop)…

I am a Pandora One Subscriber. I've been using the service for about 3 years now (40 hours per week at work plus listening at home and in my car) and am very happy with it. I've used Slacker and Last.fm but didn't stick with them for very long. Slacker had too many adds and Last.fm was getting far too repetitive.

I'm in a similar position and sent a friend request your way.

The best light beer that I've had is probably Sam Adams Light. Good flavor without the watery taste that you sometimes get with low calorie beers. http://www.samueladams.com/craft-beers/sam-adams-light I don't drink much these days but love the occasional Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout or Founders Breakfast Stout (I don't…

I'm using Runkeeper for cardio (GPS function for outdoor running and I manually add exercise if I use a treadmill or eliptical at the gym - also syncs with MFP). For strength training I use Gym Hero. It is a little light on features but I like that it gets the job done and is easy to use. I also have a Jawbone Up and use…

I have an iPad and a Google Nexus 7, they both have their place. The iPad is pretty heavy and not something I would want to be lugging around all day. It is great for surfing the web, watching video, and editing documents (I do a lot of blogging - using a bluetooth keyboard makes this a snap). The Nexus is light and is…

Having the same name as the main character can get a little annoying (especially when the show becomes popular). I avoided watching early on but my curiosity got the better of me. I started watching and powered through until I got current (early last season). I really enjoy the show, can't stand Skyler, and could do…

I work from home a couple of days per week. On those days, I'm usually starting my run around 5:30am so that I can get back home and watch our 3 year old while my wife gets ready for work. The days that I go into work, I stop off at the gym on my way home. This can be a challenge but so far, so good. I used to set my alarm…

I'm outside of Reading, PA

My alarm goes off at 4:30am every morning. On the days where I need to be in the office, I don't have time to work out (need to be at my desk at 6am). My current routine is to work out right after work (3:30pm). On the days when I work from home, I try to hit the trail by 5:30am for a run. I've been a morning person for…

I'm down for more friends. I'm fairly new to the board and while my friends list is small, it has been great for support. Feel free to add me.

Yesterday was my first gym experience in quite a while. I was planning on being there for 45-ish minutes but wound up walking out the door about 90 minutes after I arrived. While the place was busy, there wasn't much wait time for machines and I was able to bounce around. I didn't really have a plan so I just went from one…

This thread inspired me to put in a long-overdue order with Black Dog Coffee. I ordered 1/2 pound of Ethiopian Harrar (Roasted 6/27), 1/2 pound of Organic Bali Blue Moon (Roasted 6/28), and a 1/2 pound of Guatemala Huehuetenango (Roasted 6/28).

I switched from Runkeeper to Runtastic when MFP began syncing activities. Runtastic seemed to work fairly well but the calories burned number always seemed a bit high. I switched back over to Runkeeper today (since MFP now syncs with it as well) and the same run that I've done a bunch of times with Runtastic is…

I was born in Philly then moved to Berks County.

The magic number I'm trying to reach is 71 pounds. I'm fairly new to the message board but please feel free to add me. I could always use some more people to to talk to.

I was on the fence about joining a gym with a children's area but decided against it due to cost. I'm the typical over-protective first time dad and would have probably struggled with the idea of my daughter being left in a strangers care (even if it was for an hour while I worked out). Thanks, I joined the group and look…

Its been a while since I've ordered from Black Dog. The coffee is great, I particularly enjoy the Ethiopian Harrar and Guatemala Huehuetenango. On a side note, I can't choke down coffee with cream and sugar. If I can't have it black, I don't drink it.

Just over a month ago I started running for the first time in years. I selected a route along a local trail (paved) and got started. I jogged as far as I could, walked for a little while, then went back to jogging, and so on and so forth. By the time I covered the 2.25 mile route I was dead tired and my legs ached. I was…
