I LOVE my superfit friends, lifters, runners & nutrition experts. I love success stories & maintainers. I get a lot from all my fitness pals! But at the end of the day there's a special love for the ones I relate to the most. I'm the one that gave up on cute clothes because my size only comes in grandma style. I'm the one…

Anyone looking for support is welcome to add me. I'm on every day. I get great motivation from my friends' posts and I do my best to give back. I'm on track, losing weight very slowly but surely.

Yes. That sexypants post is full of good stuff. I spent a few evenings reading through the pinned posts in getting started and it is so worth the time. I ran my numbers through the Scooby calculator and a few other web sites just to get a range goal for daily calories, and incredibly grateful to a friend I met about then…

I did the same walk, once using mapmyhike and then using mapmywalk. Mapmyhike recorded higher calorie burn. Anyone know if there's a trick to get it to sync since the upgrade? I can't get them to sync to MFP.

Someone suggested to me to use the choice for sedentary, but then add exercise/calories burned to show activity for each day. This way you have more control than leaving the calculations to MFP. BUT, that would mean you log 5 hours standing/walking plus any exercise every day. I agree with the others above, lightly active…

Oh my goodness you are speaking my language! I don't think there's anything else in the world that has brought me as much comfort as food. It's been here my whole life... Well... you know the story. All day I've been freaking out and feeling bad, kinda hopeless and miserable because I've been hating myself for the way I've…

Ooh, thanks for the info! I always have trouble getting enough potassium and I HATE that most labels don't show it now. I got bad leg cramps while kayaking/swimming last week. That's no good. (Glad I was wearing a life jacket for sure.) I didn't know what the asterisk on food entries meant. I'll look closer at my logging…

Wow. I think I will throw a party if/when I lose 10 pounds. Congratulations! And my ultimate goal is pretty much what I weighed in college. I look forward to hearing when you hit your 25 goal :)

I accept all friend requests and I'll try to be a good friend and motivator! I went kayaking tonight, I had a blast and got some good exercise with awesome friends... but I'm beating myself up because I fell in the water getting into the boat from the dock. I know it's partly because I am overweight and out of shape. I…

I promised myself I would not try to make major changes right away, just commit to logging food and exercise for a week or so. But I am so shocked at the things I've been eating, and drinking. It's hard to keep my promise to myself not to make big changes yet. I have a lot of emotions around food. I think I need to take it…

Hi. I'm new here. I'm interested in trying a new approach to losing weight and getting healthier. I'd love to meet like-minded people to support each other. I posted in the other thread, but this one seems to be getting so much more traffic.

Hey guys! Welcome and nice to meet you. I'm new, just trying to practice tracking food and exercise and make that a habit first. For me, baby steps. I'll be glad to meet friends and have fun with it on the way. Thanks.

So, Beefy, how many new friends have you gotten from this thread? Can someone tell me where to find LMAO in the Exercise list? I need to track this.

I just, finally, signed up today. I've been trying to get started for months. So you can choose who can see your tracking? -Buddy requests welcome! Especially if you don't mind that I am new here. Thanks.
