Hi!
My name is Mechell. I am just learning to ride and am loving. I am still pretty nervous and God bless him, my husband has the patients of a saint..........most of the time. I have a 2007 Yamaha Virago. It's just a 250 for now but I plan to eventually be on a Harley. Nothing like straddling an 800 lb vibrator, right! I rode…

The next time you think YOU have it bad.........
The next time you are whining about your problems, think about this. This is what I witnessed today. Talk about humbling.......There was an elderly lady and her granddaughter in line in front of me in the grocery store this evening. She had some cabbage, a loaf of bread, and 2 cans of off brand veggies. After the clerk…

Are there any kidney patients out there?!?!?
My husband keeps saying he needs to eat better and get into better shape. I want to bring him to MFP, but he has diabetes, congestive heart failure, and end stage kidney disease (on dialysis 3x per week). His kidney diet should always trump his diabetic diet, but it is very restrictive. I am wondering if there are any…

weights without cardio?
My employer has a small gym that is available for employees to use. I prefer to not go during my lunch because I don't want to stink the joint up for the rest of the day and there is just not time in one lunch hour to do a full workout, shower, and reapply makeup and redo my hair. So I have been staying after work. On…

My magic pill rant
I posted this on FB tonight. I have many friends who are taking adapex (sp?) and ACE. If that's what they want, fine. But frankly I'm sick of watching them eat cheeseburgers, tacos, & pizza. Sure they are losing weight, but at what cost? OK, fixing to hack some people off I know. To all of my friends FB or otherwise who…

Seriously!?!? Is this really a healthy snack?
So I purchased some Emerald Breakfast on the Go nut and granola mix. I figured this would be a good mid-morning snack. I get to work at 7:30, eat my cheerios at my desk around 8:00 and don't get lunch until 1:00 so I need something around 10:30 or 11:00 to hold me over. After comparing the nutrition lable of the Emerald…

I think I can?
OK, so I started this journey totally psyched. Losing weight, losing inches, fitting into old clothes, buying new clothes; you get the idea. I am already almost half way to my goal, but lately I am mentally stressed about other things (finances mainly) I have been taking an antibiotic that made me feel totally blah (glad…

How do log zumba?
I am starting a zumba class soon, but it is not in the database. How would you log that? I am leaning toward high impact aerobics. Anyone else having this problem?

what an awsome feeling
I got to buy a smaller size this week and am fitting into clothes I have not been able to. My husband even complimented about how great I looked in my new shirt. It feels so great to know my hard work is paying off.

Just want to say thank you to the folks at myfitnesspal. You have made it so easy for me by taking the guess work and the hard work out of the calorie/fat counting equation. You guys are awesome, keep up the good work.

Feeling super confident
I have always had self esteem issues and fought with my weight. I have become determined to not let insecurities rule my life. I lost 10 pounds on my own before finding fitnesspal, and now another 8. Fitnesspal is really helping me to be more aware of what I am eating and how active I am. I am loving it. A total of 18…
