Helpful Yahoo Group
I have been a member of Freecycle for a couple years. It is a group that was developed to keep stuff from going in landfills. You can join through Yahoo Groups. The groups are divided by state then county. Members post messages offering stuff they no longer want or need for free to other members. It's a great way to get…

How can I get a food smell out of fabric couch?
Hi All-I got a really great sleeper sofa off of Craig's List yesterday. It's in near perfect condition except for the smell. I tried Febreeze but it didn't do much. It is definitely from food. Smells like garlic and fried foods to me. My partner refers to it as the angry onion couch since it reminds her off a strong onion…

I am blown away by the difference 11 pounds makes....
I went from just above 151 pounds to currently just below 141 pounds. I hadn't tried on any of my dresses or suits in a while. I went to get ready for an interview yesterday putting on my trusted first interview suit. I looked like a kid wearing their mother's clothes playing dress up. Even the sleeves were a bit too long.…

Subway is calling to me....
I have the "5! 5 dollar footlong!" song playing over and over in my head with the Godzilla commercial visual. It's like when a song gets stuck looping through your brain except with video, lol. I think I may have to indulge for dinner and save half for tomorrow's lunch! *twisting own arm* This brings me a subject I was…

I'd like to thank everyone who reached out to me...
For those of you coming into this post not knowing the story behind my thanks: My Mom passed away. In short grief had all but paralyzed my life outside my home. I posted about this and many many folks reached out to me. It was so uplifting. It is so great when friends are supportive but even greater when a total stranger…

Getting through grief with loss of a parent
My Mom passed away a few weeks ago. I allowed myself one really big binge day then got back on track. I come from an Irish up bringing where food equaled comfort, support, reward, etc. I have been avoiding alcohol and keeping on track with the diet BUT I find I don't want to leave the house. I also don't want to pick up…

Cleaning house and re-arranging furniture burns calories!
Who would a thought?! We are expecting 4 friends for the weekend of my birthday and have been trying to get creative with furniture so folks won't end up sleeping on the floor in the living room with 3 cats on top of them. I started re-arranging rooms and furniture on Wednesday. I didn't get my work out in and went over on…

Got passed my wall weight
145 pounds has been my wall for almost nine months. I was yo-yo'ing back and forth between 145 as my low and 151 as my high. I weighed in at 143.9 this morning! I am so happy I could dance a jig! Has anyone else experienced the "wall"? How did you get passed it?

Proof was in the numbers on the scale...
My partner and I started MFP on the same day. She has lost 10 pounds and I have lost 6. We have been eating Lean Cuisines two to three meals a day and snacking on much healthier options than our previous snack choices. We were invited to a Super Bowl Party at our friends' place in Washington. This meant a weekend trip. We…

Hey Everyone!
My name is Frost. I'm 43 with a 44th birthday this month. I stumbled upon this site by accident while trying to find the formula for calorie intake to weight. My partner and I started using MyFitnessPal in the early part of January. We had tried so many things to lose weight but kept failing. This site makes it so much…
