One Year and 95lbs Down!
My "before" picture was taken during a family get together on Thanksgiving of 2011. Earlier that morning, I weighed in at my heaviest - 300.3 lbs. I remember thinking I couldn't believe I finally tipped over into the 300s. Not only that, but I couldn't find anything to wear because everything was too tight. I was in tears…

Anyone out there use a mini trampoline for exercise? I've been thinking about getting one to help change-up my workout. Any thoughts or suggestions (especially for a good trampoline) would be greatly appreciated!

Running Armband for iPhone?
Anyone out there with an iPhone use an armband for running? If so... what do you recommend? I recently finished the Couch to 5k program on my treadmill and can't wait to get outside and run. I don't like the feeling of my phone bouncing around in my pocket, so I thought I should try an armband. Any suggestions would be…

Looking for Dedicated and Supportive MFP Friends!
After tipping the scale at just over 300 lbs, I was determined to finally take control of my weight and health! I bought a Fitbit to help become more active; started walking for 30 minutes a day; and measured my food and counted calories on MFP. The combination helped me lose over 50 lbs in five months. I've come a long…

Wedding Rings Too Loose!
After losing over 50 lbs, my wedding rings are now too loose! It's great because they were previously too tight to wear. But I still have another 75-100 lbs to lose, so I don't want to get them resized (at least not quite yet). I'd hate for them to go back in the jewelry box, but don't want to take the chance of losing…

Looking for Polar FT7 Owners!
I'm looking for people who own a Polar FT7 heart rate monitor. After a lot of research, I'm pretty certain this is the model for me. (I'm a beginner looking for basic but accurate.) But I'm curious... how long have you owned one? And how well is it holding up? Does it work for all your activities? I'll be using it mostly…

Husband + VDay Cookies = WHAT WAS HE THINKING?!
I love my husband dearly and am always very appreciative of his gifts. He knows me very well and never disappoints. Yesterday, he gifted me a Ryobi Tek4 Screwdriver/Drill set. That may sound like a weird gift, but I've been wanting one for awhile now! (Since I've started gardening and working outside, I'm constantly…

Earbuds For Jogging/Running?
For those of you who listen to music while jogging or running... what earbuds do you use? I'm currently using the regular white earbuds that came with the iPhone and iPod. They always worked great sitting around, gardening or even walking. But now that I've started jogging, they keep falling out of my ears! So... I'm…
