24 Hour Fitness "My24" app
I was at 24 Hour Fitness yesterday and noticed an advertisement talking about "My24" app. Does anyone have this? Pros/cons? Can you really upload/embed photos (of the treadmill screen for example) and it calculates/inputs for you?

Being an addict and staying focused (or lack thereof)
I'm curious how many out there have an addiction (to something/anything) and how you manage to stay focused on logging entries into your diary and/or a disciplined weight loss. Do you? Do you find it over-whelming? Do you find yourself putting MFP to the side and "treating" yourself to a good meal to counter-act an…

Disappointing MFP advertisement
I logged in today and was disappointed with the Bud Light advertisement. It even comes in video format and draws immediate attention. Luckily, I hate beer. But to others, it can be a real temptation. Losing weight is hard enough. I hope others that see it can ignore it and hold firm to their weight loss goals. We all can't…
