Moving to Tucson!
Hi there, My name is Lisa, and I'm from Toronto, Canada. My husband and his business partner "invented a business" and have decided that Tucson makes the most sense for their head office (business partner lives there). So, it looks like we are moving there this summer (assuming INS approves his application soon!)!! I'm so…

Moving from Toronto to Tucson
Any suggestions on a gym to join? I'll be in the "foothills of the foothills" and the office is downtown (like..N.Stone and Pennington). I'm looking for a place with a pool and Les Mills classes:) Would love any gym referrals you have or any suggestions about living in Tucson lol - i'm in for a big adjustment!! Thanks, xo

is this recommended for those with 50+lbs to lose?
So i've been lurking the boards here the last couple of weeks, wrapping my head around the concept and yesterday it dawned on me - most of the people I'm reading posts from are either toning up or losing that last 10-20lbs that they can't lose. Which is great! It obviously works and the difference in tone and health is…

Check in?
Hi there, So I keep popping in to the Moms Over 40 section to see what's new, and it's hard to find any new posts. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Regardless I thought i"d start a thread and see if it catches on. Just a sort of 'hey how you doing" whats new in life/food/being a mom over 40 kinda world? It's the…

Advice on Weight Lifting (any BodyPumpers out there?)
Hi, So I started eating more 3 weeks ago. After week 2 I put my scale away as the gains were freaking me out (even though i knew it was coming). I'm seeing a lot about weight lifting and "lifting heavy"..and with 100 lbs to lose i think hauling my *kitten* out of a push up into a jumping jack qualifies;) However, I do…

How to calculate a recipe..Help please:)
so i always get stuck at this part.. logging a recipe. Today's example: PC Organics Quinoa Salad with Cumin-Scented Vegetables The NI on the box is for 1/4 cup - but it doesn't say if that's cooked or not?? I'm assuming they mean cooked? I used the whole package of quinoa for this recipe. I think (from my research) that…

Early Bird GOOD News!
So yes, i feel fatter. Yes, the scale is showing a number that is 1-2 lbs away from my highest weight ever and it's freaking me out. But tonight I decided to go to a 3rd Body Pump class instead of coming home and watching Grey's ..i ate every 2 hours - healthy mixes of brown carbs, proteins, etc.. Even decided to up my…

i feel fatter?
so um..i'm trying, i really am. but i'm feeling fatter. and my pants are tighter. oddly, they are fitting better around my butt and legs, but my stomach..omg. My waist bands are uncomfortably tight, and all of a sudden my "upper belly" is huge. It's been like this for 3 days now. i'm not constipated really...although i…

Anyone else eating more and starting off obese+?
I have to say i'm pretty freaked out. I have read every single post here. I've googled. I've made notes, and calculated my TDEE and daily calorie goal 6 times now. I can't believe I'm supposed to eat SO MUCH after 25 years (i'm 43 now) of trying to eat SO little. But..it MAKES SENSE!! really, it is just sitting in my brain…

Calorie Setting Confusion
Ok..so i started on MFP at 1200 calories like the site said to do. I gained 2lbs two weeks in a row. I went up to 1500 calories and sometimes i'm 100 below, sometimes i'm 100 above and i lost 5lbs the first 3 weeks, then gained 2. Now, as i'm reading i'm seeing a lot of success at 1200 cal..and a lot of success at 2100…

Anyone like me out there?
Hi, I'm back on MFP - was here a couple of months ago and did ok, but then life got in the way and I got knocked off my keister! It's been two weeks of practicing logging it all and one week of logging, good food choices and 3 trips to the gym. I'm back and feeling awesome!! But, i'm kind of lonely:( I have quite a few MFP…

getting a bit lost..
hi there, so i'm week 2 here in MFG and I'm getting a bit lost in the message boards and would really appreciate some guidance. I have found many groups I meet the criteria for (short, lots to lose, 40's, shredding, goodlife-ing etc) but they all seem to have been going on for awhile. The topic says "New Group" and when I…

Closed Groups?
Hi there, I'm brand new here and am perusing the different message boards. Am I to assume the "Closed Groups" mean that no one else can join your challenge/discussion threads etc? Just want to make sure before I go stepping somewhere I shouldn't but I also don't want to miss out on what might be some great motivational…

Newbie~ Must be Monday lol!~
Well I am not new to weight loss attempts but I am new to myfitnesspal.com So far (um, half way through day 1) I am enjoying the ease of the food tracker (and the fact that it includes water!!) I'm wondering though, why it indicates I should have more cards then protein? Calories: 1,200 Carbs:165 Fat: 40 Protein: 45 Does…
