In my experience, MFP really overestimates. If you're using the HRMs built into the machines, and take the time to enter your age, weight, height, etc, they're going to give you a better estimate.

I've signed up for it, but I haven't finished my first full week yet. I have had problems getting it to check in at my gym (it takes forever, but I suspect that part of it is my phone's ridiculously slow switch from network to wifi), but I do eventually get it to work. For those of you who say you've deleted the app,…

I don't know how much I want to lose yet, but it's probably close to 100 pounds. I am going slowly, but I am going; it's been a little over a year, and I've lost almost 50 pounds and 3 pants sizes. I'm active daily, I log most days, and I exercise regularly. More friends are always a good thing. :)

I've found that switching between my computer and phone confuses it, too; my lists are different on each of the devices.

My initial goal is 50, but that's mostly because I didn't want to get too frustrated. I want to lose at least a hundred, probably somewhere between 120-150 (I started closer to 290 than I wanted to admit--I totally fudged my weight when I started here, and I've lost about 30.) I don't know where I want to end up exactly,…

Does anyone know if the ft7 is waterproof? The ft4 says it is...could that account for the price different? I want to be able to wear mine in the water.

My in-laws are all from Maryland/Pennsylvania, and they all say it all the time. It doesn't really bother me, though. I'm pretty sure I say it, too.

I'm always open to supportive friends. :) 36...erm...oh crap, I forgot, 37 year old wife of one and mom of two girls (3 and 9).

Anyone can add me. I'm on every day and always looking for more people to help hold me accountable.

I think all the weight I've lost so far has come from my breasts :(

Honey, we're Catholic. Nothing's guilt-free ;)

I agree--do you know how much work it takes to keep your ab/back/thigh muscles engaged while kneeling so that your bum doesn't hit the pew? Come on, she wasn't seriously thinking she could claim Mass as an exercise. Take a joke, people.

My daughter and her best friend were in the backseat of the car. They were probably 5 and 6 at the time, and it was near Lent. My daughter (who goes to Catholic school) was talking about her religion class, and asked her friend if they had religion. She replied "No, but we got donuts last Friday!" Best child one-liner of…

Church, then I have to take family photos at an anniversary party. I was hoping to do our family photo today, but it's been rain, rain, rain. Hoping to scrapbook, too. :)

Blue. Favorite movie?

I have known that I'm overweight for a long time. And all that goes along with it...tired, no energy, achey joints. I toyed with it...would start, and then let it go. We bought our first house in March. At closing, our realtor offered to take a photo. Obviously, I've seen myself in the mirror, etc, but that photo was a…

Mine is open, I log daily. It's not always pretty, but it is what it is. Anyone who is dedicated and present is welcome to friend me. (please add a note)
