  • Great to see so many swimmers. No one else in my family swims for exercise so its good to get inspired here.

I finished with stomach crunches, bicycling, jumping jacks & cross country skiing in the…

  • Please count me in! I had lost 25 lb during a 6 month span. I felt so good about myself and kept it off for 4 months. Then I got lax and let it creep back up over the past 9 months. Pound by pound ^ ^ ^ I regained half of what I'd lost! :-P Time to regain some discipline. Fitness Pal has always helped me do this & like to…

I would think that most teams would accommodate people of all speeds but prefer people who are…

  • I just started myfitnesspal today because I'm needing some accountability with eating and exercise. I know that recording my food and water intake will really help. I plan to swim or bike 3x / week (30 - 45 min.) and on the days I don't work out I will walk for 20-30 min. (moderate pace). I've set a goal of one pound per…
