I'd say max on the Polar strap I just bought is probably about 50 inches. I'm about 43 around where I place mine and it's got a little room to go...

never really had any idea what I wouldn't regret in 40 years, until I saw a diamond drawing tattooed on a ring finger and decided a ruby in similar fashion over my heart would be perfect, my DD is Ruby. so when I hit 10% lost, that's my reward!

I've had about 5 GF grills, and after the last one died (got so worn out from overuse, daily if not multiple times a day use) I decided to try a Griddler, and I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT! Sure the griddle part is nice and that the plates come off is nice, but the grill pans are terrible, it doesn't heat evenly...and the…

1. consistency is the key, as trend is the mail goal, right? seeing the loss? I weigh first thing in the morning before I hop in the shower. 2. again, consistency, when you will go most often. if that means getting up early, great, if that means after work (like me) great. I think there are some studies that say there are…

W1D1 is complete. I accidentally skipped the last running minute because I was switching songs but the app seems to be really nice, works with the music and all, just not when you're switching the shuffle I guess. my new HRM is nice too, happy I got it! a day of rest (checking out a new hot yoga place, probably won't do a…

I'm starting today (Monday 7th) and I'm seriously excited. I'll be doing it after work and after being on vacation for a week, work will be insane so I hope it goes quickly! I did gain weight while on vacay, not too happy about how much (4 pounds, I ate what I wanted, logged most of it, but I'm sure my calories were way…

First word out of my mouth? WOW! second "what a cute figure" (at either weight) but man oh man, you look awesome! Excellent work!!!!

be down 30 pounds as well....so I can get my tattoo :) 14 more to go.

LOL, you are SO correct! I WILL do this, and I WILL like the pain ;) I attempted to see what it might be like for me to run one day last week and oh yeah, I'm going to be in pain, BUT I know, from friends who've done the program that after only a few days, they're already showing HUGE improvement! Yup, I spelled celebrate…

The closest I've ever gotten to a workout buddy was my hubby when we first joined gyms, I joined Curves and he joined a full-service gym and I'd drop him off at his, go do my workout then come back. we later joined a different gym together and I'd go do cardio and give him more time to workout. For the most part now tho,…

I'm planning to start on Nov 7th (traveling back from vacay on the 5th) but I would LOVE to have a group to commiserate with :)

15.5 pounds or a bald eagle, a rack of baby back ribs AND a dozen Krispy kreme donuts!

Awesome work and CONGRATS on getting a job :)

Why not try it in a mini batch? like mix up the batter then take a cupcake's worth and add the chili chocolate (there are quite a few on the market, it's popular to put savory things in chocolate and yes, bacon chocolate is AWESOME, PP) and bake that up and see how you like it? you won't waste much of the batter if it…

buy for your biggest portion then find a good tailor and your clothes will fit great. That's what the experts say to do anyway. And that's what I hope to do when I reach my goal and spend wads on new clothes :)

I don't announce it when I enter a room, but some people know I'm back at the gym and others I've told about MFP, more as a "this great website has already helped me lose 15 pounds!" kind of way. so plenty of people know, most don't know what i've lost so far and I doubt anyone knows how much I really have to lose.....but…

Wooohoo!!!!

It LASTS! you pay for quality (sometimes you pay for crap, but you rarely get quality for cheap!). I love it too and we're lucky to have an outlet somewhat nearby. I cannot WAIT until I can comfortably fit in more. right now, I just have a pair of Still pants, love em!

done it for the heck of it at first, won 3 free sessions, fell IN LOVE and continued for a few more. later on I developed some back pain and holy cow, it worked and I couldn't be happier. I also got a treatment a few days before my wedding, got pebbles put on stress pressure points in my ears and wow, I was calm as a…

Awesome work!!! I cannot WAIT to share this feeling with you. and my husband dreads it ;)

Hi! I'm 5'10" and I remember Jr year of high school, I dropped 20 pounds during tennis season because our coach was really strict, told us if she saw us eating crap before practice, she'd make us run til we puked. I took her seriously and she was still a B$#@# to me! Oh well, I was SKINNY for my bone structure! I never…

allergic to wine, don't like beer, but I have a mixed drink every so often. maybe 5-15 times a year, depending. Not enough to ever think I should cut it out or that it's causing problems. Mostly I have the cocktail when we're out to dinner, we rarely drink at home.

I would LOVE to get somewhere CLOSE to the 158.9 that it gave me, but I haven't been that weight since high school and I don't foresee it happening. 180 is closer to my goal.....But it's kind of fun to play with! I should see about my hubby! heh, being under 300 would be awesome for him!

I've given up the pizza buffet with my coworkers, letting them talk me into eating WAY too much. I've given up feeling sorry for myself and being a lazy *kitten*. I've given up spending a ton of money on crap, I only spend a little on crap very infrequently now! Oh and I've given up 14 pounds so far, do NOT want that back!…

I'm sure others have their ways, but for me, chewing gum, having a small snack, sipping a soda, having my meal when I get hungry versus at a specific time, or just remember how great it feels to see the scale show a lower number are all ways I use to get thru. Other times, I know the ONLY way I'll get thru is giving into…

FWIW, I wear a pair of Lulu Lemon size 12 yoga "Still" pants to workout in. they're not loose, getting looser, and at 5'10" I didn't need the tall, but they offer it. They're not cheap, but they're holding up REALLY well for me! worth it IMO.

After using a number of other calorie tracking websites, this one has it all. calories and exercise tracking, community forums for support and the social "Friends" aspect that I REALLY appreciate. It's the whole package.

I was referring to the people who support their weight by holding on for dear life because the incline is too high. knocking it down to a level where they can walk or run without holding on would burn more calories for them. and my original statement was also to always use an incline for your knees (which also burns more…

MFP is addicting! Glad it's working so well for you too!
