Post Surgery Recovery and Fitness
Seeking friends who are going through or have gone through recovery after a surgery. I am 8 weeks post op of my arm/wrist/hand. I had a median nerve entrapment in my forearm, had my thumb & wrist joints reconstructed and a band of fascia taken out of my elbow. For the first two weeks, I was miserable and thought, "I'll…

Who's a Fitness Instructor?
I'm just curious if there are fellow instructors in the house??? If so, what do you teach? I always love meeting people who can relate! I teach P90X, Insanity, sometimes Turbo Kick, kickboxing and core classes and recently took on some crossfit classes too! But, I'm having mixed feelings on that one. I'd love to meet other…

I was once where you are now......
It was 6 years ago when I decided enough was enough. I was tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. I was making up excuses of why I couldn't go on vacations with my family because it meant I'd have to wear shorts and a tank top!!! I NEVER showed my arms! Ever! And I used to live in Arizona! I was wearing jeans and…

Any Seattleites?
I am looking for a group of girls who are just getting started in this journey of health & fitness. Who aren't sure where to start or what to do. This was me about 5 years ago. Not confident in myself, not wanting to go to the gym, not even wanting to go outside just to walk! But I knew I needed to make a change. I want to…

Week 3
Day 1, Shoulders & Abs! I went up in weights in most exercises! Feeling good!!! Taking my Body Beast supplements and loving them!

Linking MFP to BodyMedia
Ok, I just synced both accounts. But, what I was hoping for is to be able to bring over the foods I enter here on MFP to BM; is that possible? Because there are hardly any foods entered in the database for BM. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

FitBit vs BodyMedia
I have both. I stopped using the BM because it's so bulky and it left an indent on my arm (no, it wasn't too tight). I just got the FitBit but I don't think its as accurate. I LOVE how tiny it is; I don't even notice I have it on. I wish BM would do something smaller. Any feedback from anyone else?

Pros/Cons to working at LA Fitness
So, I've had a couple of interviews at LA Fitness and I think I've just had to go through it one last time to reassure myself that it's not the place for me. I immediately get a "dirty" feeling from them since they're corporate and all they care about is how much you can make them. Plus, I don't like feeling like a used…

Body Media vs. Fit Bit
I have a body media and used it for almos a year, loved it but it left an indent in my arm! lol It slowly went away but now that the fit bit is out, I'm thinking of switching. Plus there's no annual fees! Anyone have any feedback?

Insanity Asylum for the next 30 days!
I've attempted it twice now, both times having to stop at day 20! This time, I'm seeing it through! I'm getting over a cold which had set me back a few weeks in my workouts and it's always hard to get back at it when you've been out of it. I hate that feelig. But, it feels good to be in it again.

My BodyMedia keeps me in check!
So, I've been using MFP pal for a couple of years now and it's helped me tremendously with watching my intake etc. Although, I found that I wasn't being strict enough with my measurements and such as far as food goes. Plus, I was using a HRM with a chest strap which I liked but sometimes, it wouldn't get a proper reading,…
