im not sure how long it takes for MFP to update after a change to fitbit, but it seems like if i make a manual activity entry on fitbit that MFP updates pretty quick after doing that... whereas a simple sync doesnt always go through... i would suggest maybe tricking the system and manually adding 1 min of walking and see…

hi, i'm Joe...i'm off to a good start towards my long-term goal and would love some gay love on MFP... wait what did i just say... well please add me anyway especially if you are gay/bi- (as i would like some diversity in my friends list) and would like to share some support in reaching your goal =) 1. Where were you born?…

sometimes what starts out as playful teasing can go a bit too far... i do not of course know what your mil's intentions were in making those comments, but since your feelings were hurt i might try pointing out to her in some kind of non aggressive way that the comments did hurt your feelings... maybe you can clear the air…

love a girl who is cute and a badass at the same time, Gwen Steffani comes to mind... has to be open-minded and fun, but can also just relax and cuddle on the couch watching tv... combo of modesty and self confidence too, as she has to be friendly and approachable, but also realize she is amazing =)

well, i have yet to achieve my long term goal, but the approach that seems to work best for me is to think about what healthy improvements i can make that i feel i can do even on my "worst" day--what workout can i do even when i feel tired? how many calories can i limit myself to even when i feel hungry? what unhealthy…

i think if you feel you would benefit from connecting more with people then keep putting yourself out there and you will find some that you feel you are on the same page with... there will certainly be those that you simply don't understand their perspective and they might not get yours, but i think that's normal... as for…

just my personal opinion here, but i would try to get away from putting a label on what you look like or what some certain "scale" determines you to be... i think for me i try to consider what i would like to improve on to make me feel better and focus on that... as far as i am aware building some muscle in areas that seem…

i have heard that MFP doesn't distinguish healthy sugars from processed sugar and that there is a difference... I may be wrong here, but I am guessing that means you shouldn't worry about going over on sugar limit from fruit as long as it is a reasonable amount of fruit... can anyone confirm this, or provide more info if…

did nautilus machines at the gym for the first time in a long time, but have been exercising consistently for about a month now and actually felt pretty good doing the machines... this really surprised me as usually when i first start them again i have to do a much lower weight then i am used to being able to do and i get…

hi, i would like to join this group... i am going for 100 pounds lost, and going 10 pounds at a time sounds good to me... i like being involved and giving lots of support, so hopefully this group will happen... let me know

if this was directed in a mean spirited way towards a specific person or even group i think i would feel otherwise, but just posting this as an attempt to motivate people in general i fail to see what the problem is.... also where it doesn't seem to be targeted at anyone in particular i think if you don't like it just…

my blood sugars are largely under control and i attribute this largely to my exercising, which has helped me tremendously despite struggling to eat the right things (hence my joining MFP).... i'm not quite sure how it works, but for me the exercise seems to have a similar effect to constant use of a blood sugar regulating…

i had a reaction to an extremely high blood sugar... i had been gaining a lot of weight in a short amount of time, but really wasn't even aware of the fact that i was becoming at risk for diabetes until i got diagnosed with it

i've made changes to what i eat and yes i am now off of insulin shots and now take just low doses of glucovance twice daily.

just wanted to share that my first thought after reading your post was that none of that food was particularly unhealthy--even the dark chocolate has some health benefits from what i've heard... my other thought was that you said something about being really strict with yourself or something to that effect, and while i…

**UPDATE** I'd like to start late--I only joined the site a couple days ago, but I am shooting for 2 pounds a week and there are 2 weeks left, so who knows maybe I can lose 5 if I do well... sounds like fun to try anyway... Start Weight--Last weigh-in (early October): 252 lbs Current Weight: 250.5 lbs Goal Weight for month…

sorry about my poor advice/had meant to help lol--thanks for the info guys... i'm not sure i understand how you can maintain a consistent weight while getting leaner though? i thought this was possible, but if the only way to lose fat is calorie deficit (is this the case?) does that mean you will be constantly losing…

i'm not sure if i trust those built-in calorie counters on the aerobic exercise machines, however, i much prefer the elliptical and as it provides resistance to the arms and legs over just the legs i do have to think it probably burns a few more calories... i think the fact that treadmill is likely a higher impact…

my understanding is that calorie deficit will lead to weight loss, however, if weight loss is not your focus and getting leaner is, staying at some kind of roughly even caloric intake should be fine and your weight will remain roughly the same, so it becomes a matter or consuming leaner foods... if you make a conscious…

my first thoughts are that if you are getting worn out from your efforts you are probably pushing too hard... cutting too many calories, working out longer or harder than you can sustain on a regular basis--i would suggest finding what feels like an improvement over your unhealthy habits, but doesn't feel like a huge…

not exactly sure what you are eating, but seems like being on this site is a good start as its easy to consume way more calories than we realize if you aren't keeping track or don't know how to measure portion sizes... i think that if you are looking to lose more than like 10 pounds "diets" are hard to get results with...…

you can add me if you're still looking for friends... i'm new and also looking to add a few more friends--great job so far =)

i usually start out with a couple songs i can sing to: stevie wonder, i just called to say i love you, john denver, sunshine on my shoulders, take me home country roads, annie's song... then i like hip-hop once i feel more up beat... i like 90s stuff best: house of pain, ja rule, r.kelly, montell jordan, big pun, method…
