This app was an eye opener for me. Before MFP, I never thought much about the calories I was consuming. My motivation here has increased since making a few friends and joining a MFP group that fit my goals and lifestyle.

Thank you sir, astounding story!

One of the great success stories of MFP, thank you so much for sharing it with us! Do you happen to have a recipe book for the items you listed within this thread? I really hope the answer is yes, as all the food looks amazing, healthy, and the presentation is spectacular.

NikonPal, that is a truly inspiring story, where can I find the rest of it?

I bicycled 15.88 miles today. Later this afternoon, I surprised my wife with a picnic at the top of Klondike Park. Beautiful spot to take in the surrounding countryside.

It's been a little over a week since I started periodically using an exercise ball as a desk chair and I can already tell it is strengthening my lower back, as I feel muscle twinges from time to time. Strengthening my lower back will be great for bicycling.

My ahh-ha moment? I've had a few... Recently, the motivation that got me off the couch, up from the desk and away from the refrigerator has been realizing what obesity is doing to my health. It was easy to compare myself to others and foolishly believe I wasn't in that bad of shape, funny how that works isn't it. A number…

No matter how good the advise, it was inappropriate and unprofessional for the doctor to do so in the manner you described, I am sorry you had to experience this type of treatment. On a positive note, it's great to hear that you decided to take action towards leading a healthier lifestyle.

Hello Jules and welcome to the group. 13 pounds is a great weight loss for just one month, keep up the good work. Cute profile picture, is it your cat?

At first, I thought it was rather motivational, but agree it would be more beneficial if it were accurate. I'm not sure the developers could come up with an accurate algorithm as there are so many variables. MFP has the same problem with calories burned. With that in mind, I use MFP to track what I'm eating (which was a…

Welcome Zutshihora and good job on getting those steps in, even if it is raining outside.

Hi Maisie, 47 is close enough in my book. :)

Hello here is a link to the Fifty Plus (or so) Support Group. Great bunch of folks, if you care to check it out. Another group that has been growing quickly is: Over 50 Group, which is also very supportive.

I like that strategy. :) Mick I hope you have a fantastic trip, enjoy the tournament and the time away. Have you been to a Master's tournament before or is this something to cross off your list of adventures? Hello Scott and welcome to the group.

Welcome to the group smithsonorozco1960!

I work from home and am at my desk between 9-11 hours a day. I just recently bought a Varidesk, which allows me to quickly and easily work standing up or sitting down. Here's a thread with a little more information if you're interested: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10121488/standup-desk#latest

Congrats! I agree it is hard work to watch little ones, especially if they need to be picked up.

Weather was stormy here today, so I did 4 miles on the elliptical and started a beginner weight training session, based on a YouTube video NikonPal posted in another thread here.

Thanks for the sharing the video, it's just what I was looking for. :)

The quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes was powerful, thanks for sharing it.
