I'm glad I'm not alone in the disappointment of having a STANDARD FREE VERSION that included barcode scanner for free. I've been a member going on nearly 10 years and have submitted my own fair amount of data so that other members would have accurate info when using the scanning feature. Now I have to pay nearly $20 per…

I am 40 and looking for an accountability partner. I know what I need to do I just want someone to help me stay on track. If anyone wants to add me just shoot me a message first.

I got on the scale before Thanksgiving and realized at that moment I was the heaviest I have been in my entire life. Obviously I could give all the reasons = excuses for this. My work schedule, my budget, lack of energy, lack of interest, and lack of motivation. Ultimately I KNOW what I need to do because I've done it…

I've been a MFP member for several years now and have teeter tottered with the same 20-30lbs. I did lose 40lbs and got below my lowest adult weight in almost 16 yrs but that didn't last long. I had support when I first started my health journey in Feb 2013 but that has fizzled. My insurance covers RA so I decided why not…

I just signed up for RA my first session was last week but feel free to add me just make sure to send a message first :smile:

I've been using MFP for years now but haven't had major results. However my company offered RA with our health benefits and I figure it may be exactly what I need group accountability and a coach plus all the tools. I have found it very annoying to have to enter everything twice so I talked to my coach and she said as long…

I find it's easier to stay energized throughout the day if I do my work outs in the morning before work. If I try to do it after work I'm too drained to work out. My biggest problem though is getting up early enough to get everything done before I have to leave for work.

@sijomial I couldn't agree more not everyone is seeking weight loss. Some are here to hold themselves accountable for fitness and nutrition. My goal is to lose weight and I chose to log every workout be it cardio or strength so I know what is working best for my weight loss goals. @Adah_m I wouldn't trust the machines HRM…

Everyone here can add me if they'd like to. I myself am seeking friends to keep me accountable. I am a single mother and have always put my son and employer first. January 2013 I had my wake up call and lost 40 lbs in almost 2 yrs. I've gained back 23 lbs over the past year or so and I desperately need a swift kick in the…

JFT 1. Drink plenty water 2. Stick to my meal plan 3. Stay polite and positive when someone gets on my Monday nerves mrsmucker it was a good game but it was the Steelers vs. Broncos... GO BRONCOS!

@elizabethjmurphy‌ good luck on your new journey. There are many nay sayers but there are also medical studies that price on a well balanced and clean eating diet being a vegan can work. I have been eating as a flexitarian for over 2 years now and have decided it is time to remove anything animal from my diet. I have been…

@Biggirllittledreams‌ thank you for your insight. I personally have difficulty for many years eating meat without putting a face to it. I have decided that I will make the lifestyle change to become a true vegetarian. The moment I told family members that I would be making this change they automatically stated that I…

Got a Charge for myself as an early Christmas present and couldn't be happier!!! //www.fitbit.com/user/2YDMFM

I come from a large family where food = love and so much more. I use to eat my feelings etc. There is a new Weight Watchers commercial that explains the emotional eating that makes me giggle every time it comes on. I have tried desperately to eat to live not because I'm bored, happy, or it's what I should do at certain…

TMI warning..... THIGH GAP!! WOOT WOOT!!! LOL Small victories make me so happy! Those 30 days of squats made a HUGE difference.

Too many NSV to mention but these are the ones that please me the most.... 1) I have pushed through my 30 day challenges and I am almost finished with them 2) I turned down yummy smell so good cookies without blinking an eye (a weakness of mine) 3) I have increased my daily water intake and I have stayed at or under my…

Feeling super frustrated I've met my daily goals as well as my weekly goals EXCEPT since I've been doing my two 30 day challenges (plank & squats) I only have 6 days left and have only missed one day but doubled up the next day. I can physically see the changes so pardon me if it's not showing on my scale :neutral_face:

I would think that nuts and seeds would be considered a lean protein source. My nutritionist at the boot camp I was at suggested to add nuts and seeds to increase my fat intake. He even advised me to change my macros to 60-80% Fat, 15-20% Protein, and 0-5% Carbs.

Didn't do exactly what I had set out to do yesterday but it was much better than doing nothing at all. Today's goal is to exceed yesterday - 30 mins cardio - 150 squats/ plank 120 seconds - drink more water - get more uninterrupted sleep

I've worked a desk job for 16 years and have had my own personal battles with being more active and being honest about my relationship with food. I blamed pregnancy and my desk job for years for not being healthy but the truth of the matter was I didn't realize I was at fault for being over weight. Since I am able to…

Hit my goals yesterday! Today's goal is to exceed yesterday ;) - 30 mins cardio - 140 squats/ plank 90 seconds - drink more water - get more uninterrupted sleep

Start weight: 209.5 Goal weight: 185 Goal Aim: 24.5 pounds Lbs to go: 22.5 Week Ending 9/26: 209.5 10/03: 208 10/10: 207.5 10/17: 10/24: 10/31: 11/07: 11/14: 11/21: 11/28: 12/05: 12/12: 12/19: 12/26:

I have 2 challenges I have a teenage son who doesn't like anything that I eat and the weekends I tend to slack off. Oh make that 3 challenges... my son brings home pizza every night he closes :neutral_face:

Joining this group a little late but that doesn't change my determination to shed pounds. I am halfway through my first 30 day challenges (30 day plank & squats). I plan to keep the momentum I have and push through while I plan my next 30 day challenges. Today I will do 135 squats and Plank for 90 seconds as well as 20- 30…

I don't have my own machine but the one I use is an Octane Fitness. When I first started using it I thought I wasn't going to make it through 5 minutes but I can do 15 minutes and make it look easy peasy to the other ladies. I manually adjust my workout based on my mood & music by increasing the resistance from 0- 20 (most…

Congrats for wanting to change! However this journey you have started has no end only a beginning and what you do with it is yours to decide. If you choose to limit your calories to ONLY 1200 per day to start with you will be hungry in the beginning because you are new to correct portion sizes and still have much to learn.…

Awesome job!

Somewhere just a little north of "The Big Chicken" ;)

Pandora or iHeart radio... I have created my own stations with mixes upbeat 80's to today hip hop/rap as well as rock/metal/grunge it all depends on my mood from day to day but Brittney Spears, Pitbull, Kesha, Fergie and Katy Perry are in my top 5.
