25 lbs to lose, doing the Shred...be my friend!
Hello! So, I've been using MFP for a couple years. I go up and down as far as losing weight...but mainly down (as in fail). I just can't seem to get the whole "lifestyle change" thing down. I am use to eating out, fast food, processed food. That's just how I grew up. And it's HARD trying to eat completely different! While…

Fell off the wagon and ready to get back on! 28y/o, 5'9"
Hi there! I have been active on MFP for quite some time now, but the friends I do have, do not really interact on here it seems. I want some people who are active and like to comment, give advice, ideas, encourage...I will love to do the same! I am 28 years old, and have a pretty inactive lifestyle. I have no kids,…

I'm back! Again. 5'9", 28y/o looking for new friends :)
Helloooo all. My name is Alicia and I just turned 28. I live a pretty inactive life unfortunately. No kiddos or husband :( .....yet! I have been on MFP for quite a while and am pretty active on it, although I do get spurts of not doing my diary every now and then. I try to be supportive as I can to my friends! I have lost…

Hellooo out there!

This is the heaviest I've been, this past year I gained 20lbs after I lost my job and began eating every second of the day. I am a huge yo yo dieter. I have been on MFP for almost a year, and have good 3 weeks spurts...then FAIL. I do…

MY Polar FT4 has a low battery after 2 months?!
I got my HRM end of June and it already has a low battery signal and I've only had it a short time. I don't use the beep or backlight, and have been taking care of it properly. Has anyone else had this problem with theirs? Obviously I can just replace the battery but since that's weird anyway it'd be low after 2 months I'm…

Body Tone mini stepper, or other mini steppers - useful?
Hi all. I am wondering if anyone owns one of those mini stepper things and if they work at all? I can not afford to buy any "real" piece of exercise eqipment, and while I go for walks/jogs I really want an elliptical type exercise but I can't afford an actual elliptical right now. I saw some of these mini steppers…

Does anyone love chips as much as I do? =/
So, I pretty much have this addiction to CHIPS. I love chips. All kinds, all flavors. Mmmm. I love chips. I seriously would rather eat a bag of chips than an actual meal of FOOD. It's strange. Anyway, for all you other chip lovers out there...have you found a close replacement, that's a bit more healthy? I was doing so…

Did water aerobics eff my Polar up?!?! =/
Hi everyone. So I know no one will know for sure based off of what I say, but has anyone else had any problems with their Polar (I have the FT4) acting up after using it in water? I used it for the first time doing water aerobics for about 45 minutes, and I noticed that it was being kind of crazy (I'm guessing because at…

Am I eating enough?! MFP goal or BMR?
Okay, so I know that a lot of people have asked this question, but I figured since I'm still confused on my own stats, that I'll post them here and see what you guys think! I've been reading the forums trying to figure it out but I'm still a little lost. Don't even get me started on whether I should eat my exercise cals…

Just so you know...30 Day Shred Video
Reading through tons of forums on 30DS and I see people waiting for their dvd from Amazon or wherever, I just wanted to let people know they have the dvd at Walmart for around $10. Normally, I'd look on Amazon too because work out dvds are usually cheaper than in stores, but 30DS is just 10 bucks at Walmart, soo if you…

Double question! Painful hips + calorie count on HRM?
Maybe I should have posted this as separate questions, but oooooh well... My first question for anyone, is I was wondering if my HRM is giving me an accurate count of cals burned. I know everyone is different, but for anyone who might burn about the same as I do and such, just looking for opinions! I have the PolarFT4, and…

Help!! Big dummy can't figure out her first HRM! :(
Hi everyone. I bought my first HRM a few days ago in hoping it can be a little motivator in exercising more...I got the New Balance N4, with chest strap. Even with directions, I can't figure out how to program it :( I feel really dumb, ha, but I was wondering if anyone who has this one can help me?! Say with setting the…

26 y/o fell off the wagon...AGAIN.
Hi everyone. I am pretty bummed, once again, I let myself down! I started MFP a few weeks ago, and was doing really well, UNTIL I had to go camping with family for 4 days, and I got back into my bad habit of eating terribly. Once I start, I can't stop. I had lost 6 lbs, and now my ticker says 0 when I updated it…

Hello all!
I signed up to MFP a few days ago, along with my grandma,mom, and aunt :) Who are my only friends right now! I never thought I would be on the forums or here to socialize, but I've spent half of today browsing and reading people's stories and such, and it seems kind of fun, so here I am! I am 26 years old, and am at my…
