  • Hi all! I'm new to Fitbit, but am also at MyFitnesspal and have been for years. Trying to get mine to sync together. Would love some new friends. My Fitnit account is: https://www.fitbit.com/user/4LM2K7
  • Argh. I'm having the same problem (I have an iPhone). Frustrating, since I just got my Fitbit and was excited for it to work with MyFitnessPal. :(
  • Our 15 year old son is coming home from his Scout High Adventure trip in Maine late tomorrow night. We haven't been able to talk to him since he left a week ago. Can't wait to hear all about his trip!
  • Hawaiin Tropics sun tan oil.
  • ^^ I was going to suggest this same. It's fresh & yummy and will fill you - and others - up. You could also do what I've come to know as "Weight Watcher" brownies, where you just mix a devils food cake mix with a can of pumpkin and bake according to the directions on the cake mix. Top with fat free Cool Whip. I've also…

  • Love this thread. :) So many believe just because you're trying to lose weight you can't enjoy food ... so not true ... Everything in moderation is my motto. Lord knows, there's plenty of tasty food in WI! We're going camping next week, so I'm looking forward to some brats (maybe turkey or chicken) and pudgy pies myself.…
  • Wow! That is amazing! What an inspiration. You've already proven you can do anything!
  • I played on our town's first girls hockey team when I was in high school. I SO miss playing ... it was a great release! Would LOVE to find a women's team to play on now!
  • Mmmmm! This sounds fabulous! And even better that it's a slow cooker recipe! Thanks for sharing. :smile:
  • I know I'm a little late, but welcome! :) Looks & sounds like you're doing great already!
  • Awww ... CONGRATS!!! That's so exciting! We're expecting our 2nd son in early May (after 11+ yrs of trying)! Do you have any names picked out? Also, best of luck with your VBAC. I hope all works out! I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for a VBAC myself this time. I'm hoping the 65+ I'd lost since having my first son will…
  • Another great Wisconsin one is the Door County Half Marathon & Nicolet Bay 5K, which are together and both ran in Peninsula State Park in DC. Hubby & I did the Nicolet 5K as our first 5K together last spring and LOVED it! It's such a beautiful run thru the park/bay and it was VERY organized! And bonus, you can make a…
  • Hi all! Thanks for the add! :) It's always great to connect w/others here, but especially fellow 'Sconnies! I'm Jenn. 33 and from northcentral WI. I've been a WW lifetime member for almost 11 years now. I lost 65lbs on the program and continued to maintain that - within 5-10lbs - till I got pregnant this past August. I,…
  • Just seeing this now for some reason, but what a small world! :) Nice to meet you!
  • If you go out to eat....don't let him get the pizza every time....have him try new things each time!! Having him try new things will get him to learn what other things he may like and therefore intro him to some other healthier options prob!! If you go to subway...MAKE him get at least 2 veggies of his choice on the…
  • Hi all! Man, where have I been!? I sure wish I knew this thread was here earlier! I didn't realize there were so many MFP'ers that continue here while pregnant! Would love to connect with some others that are expecting in May! :) I'm Jenn and due May 8th. My Hubby & I have been together for 16 years and together we already…
  • I know it will be difficult at first for you all, but I think it's time to start putting your foot down. Like others have said, you're the parents ... therefore, you should be in charge of his activity level & what he's eating. I'm not saying take away all treats or force him to jump into multiple sports, by any means, but…
  • Okay ... you got my attention! :) I'm from Wisconsin, please share! :) These sound very interesting ... AND GOOD!
  • Yum! This sounds delicious! AND, I have some avacodos in the fridge just waiting to be used. PERFECT! :)
  • Hi there! Fellow Wisconsinite here; always love to meet new friends, especially nearby. Feel free to add me! :) I'm in northcentral WI; just north of the Wausau area. I'm a lifetime Weight Watchers member and have been at MFP for a few months now.
  • Bummer that you're coming this weekend! We're going camping as well, but heading up north this time. We're only about 1/2 hour from Antigo and go there often otherwise. There's a GREAT county campground just north of Antigo, but they fill up REALLY fast [and don't take reservations] --- especially with this being a Holiday…

  • What an awesome story! I, too, love how you are holding that head higher and smiling bigger in every photo! You should be so proud of yourself for all that you've overcome!
  • I work in the Wausau area, but live in the Merrill/Gleason area. I always love meeting new friends --- especially Wisconsites. :)
  • ^^ I totally agree with Clarissa! ^^ There are a lot of people that walk them! And, even after my Couch2K program, I still couldn't run the whole course this past weekend [at my first 5K]! I did, however, run more than I walked and still managed to come in around the middle of the pack! Also, everyone is so friendly and…

  • Good luck! You'll do great! My Hubby & I started Couch2K back in March. Neither of us were EVER runners and we just completed our first 5K this past weekend. And now we're kind of hooked. :)

  • Mmm ... I so need to try this! I could really go for one right now, in fact! :-o)
  • How cool that your friend did the Door County Half! What a small world! :) I'd like to tackle 5K's this summer and then go from there ... maybe longer distances by next year. I'll definitely have to try to keep my calendar open for that Packer run at the end of July. Thanks for the info!

  • Mmmm! I'll have to try adding chicken like you recommended. I make something similar with cranberries & chopped or slivered almonds (depending on what I have on hand at the time). I also add a chopped apple and then I just use the Poppyseed Fit & Active dressing from Aldi's on it. It's DELICIOUS!
  • Welcome back to WI! I'm not too far away. I work in Wausau and live north, in the tiny little, unheard of Gleaason area. :)
