Hello! Do you want to play a game?
At my lowest weight, I was involved in a game with some friends. Thankfully due to my competitive nature and great support system, I was able to lose and track so much better than before. For 8 weeks we tracked not only our food journal/calorie intake , but also counting other stuff. What we were doing a game we had…

Not really new, but my friends dash is dead!
I've been doing MFP on and off over the years, and took a break while finishing a round of meds. I came back to a completely empty dash! I am about to start training for a half marathon, and would love to make friends with some active MFP-ers; it's such great motivation!

I think it has become too routine, and I am really not getting…

I have started going out three times a week, averaging about a 14 minute mile. It's not great, but considering that three years ago I would have been happy with a 17 minute mile, I…

Heart Rate Monitor Confusion
I have borrowed a garmin forerunner 305 from my mother in order to see how many calories I am buring while doing P90X, so that I can accurately record the information. However, the day I did Kenpo, it is saying I only burned 130 calories in an hour. Now granted, I don't agree with MFP saying I burned 800+ calories (I log…
