40 & 50-something friends?
I've been doing this a looooong time. Lost a 1320 streak because I was out of the country so had to start again. Already lost about 55 lbs....I've also had many MFP friends fall away over the last 4 years. Looking for some new friends to live healthy with; but also to joke and chat with while we are all on this journey.…

Does anyone live in NOLA or have run there? If so, can I run the FQ on up to the city park? Is it safe?

help a girl out :)
I'm hoping to find some like-minded MFP friends :blush: I've lost about 65 pounds and been working MFP for about 2 1/2 years. Over that time I've seen people come and go from my friends list and now I'm starting over. I log daily, I've gained about 7 lbs so I need to refocus on losing a few again and I do like the support…

wanna help a girl out?
I posted this request in maintenance as well; but support is a good thing so I'm going to post here as well :) I'm hoping to find some like-minded MFP friends :blush: I've lost about 65 pounds and been working MFP for about 2 1/2 years. Over that time I've seen people come and go from my friends list and now I'm starting…

Time makes all the difference
In September of 2012 my family went to visit friends in Germany. To make a long story short one of the things I couldn't do on that trip was hike up the steep mountain at Neuschwanstein to make our tour on time. Later that day the left picture was snapped after crossing over into Austria and having dinner at the foot of…

when did people notice your weight loss?
Ok...I have to admit, out loud, that I have become impatient for others to be able to notice my weight loss. Please don't get me wrong; I feel good, I can see the difference, I am happy with my progress...but there is just something special about OTHERS being able to tell. I guess 20 lbs isn't it for me so maybe at 30 it…

I'm looking for some running buddies
I am looking for some running buddies :) I started running last spring (c25k) to lose weight and just kept running. I am my only motivator and would love to have more MFP friends to discuss running, running issues, running goals, etc etc with. I'm not the fastest runner but running has become my exercise of choice and…

I hit my goal weight :)
I started my journey on February 18th, 2013....I have no "ah ha" moment or specific event that made me decide it needed to change, but we celebrated my daughter's 12th birthday that Sunday and on Monday morning the 18th I started logging every bite that I ate. I weighed in at an embarrassing 204. I logged every bite that…

In the home stretch.....
this journey has been great....not just the weight loss and improved health....but the byproduct of finding yourself, remembering your passions and finding new dreams along the way :) It's truly a change that's more than just physical! I've lost 58 and I'm down to the last 6 pounds until I hit my original goal weight. I'm…

Help understanding how fitbit calulates calories please :)
I am in need of a little fitbit expertise :) When your dash shows you that you have 306 calories left on your food plan does that take into account the deficit you set up in your food plan? Meaning if you set it to be -500 a day (to lose a lb a week) when it says what you ate and what you burned and you have 306 left does…

help with macros please :)
Can anyone tell me where to view my macros on the mobile app or if I even can see them? I know we can see them on a laptop/desktop but I use the mobile app 90+% of the time and I am not hitting my macros because I don't SEE them every day.....is there a setting or menu option to view those that I do not have turned on?…

How much is not enough?
I've been on this weight loss journey since February and I do consider myself new to this. I say this because my experience with weight loss is literally only what I've been able to do in the past 7 months so there is sooooo much I don't know and that I don't have experience with. This brings me to my question for all of…

My First Success Story....7 month progress
This is the first time I've posted a success story....perhaps because it's hard to define "success" when you are on a journey that hasn't ended yet. I started in February. I was never overweight when I was younger and I found myself in my 40s with two kids, a hubby, two dogs, a cat, three degrees, a job, and I weighed more…

looking for *new* friends.....
this does not mean I don't like the ones I have :) it just means that I'm discovering that sometimes during this journey you need a different "stage" of friend to support where you are at the moment...that's all. I've lost 48lbs, I'm currently at 158 and looking for 40-50 yr old ladies in the same range to "circle the…

finally happened to me....*sigh
yep....it finally happened to me....after several months on consistent weight loss I have slowed WAAAAAY down to the tune of 3 lbs this whole month of August. yeah, I know....be happy with a pound a week :) and as long as my "progress line" keeps going in the downward direction I am grateful but it does make you reconsider…

advice on best core exercises?
I have lost about 48 lbs in 6 months through a better diet and exercise; mostly running. The running has really done a nice job slimming me down and now I think it's time to focus on my core/mid section. The sides, hips, abs, thigh toning....any suggestions on where I should start? I'm not dying to go to the gym but I do…

Advice about fruits on vacation?
I'm leaving for a two week vacation next week....there will be an abundance of fruits, veggies, and fish. I feel like I'm "safe" with however much veggies/fish I eat but curious if I need to watch the amount of fruits? Besides the "Hey it's vacation...don't worry about it".....any opinions because I actually do worry about…

Anyone ready to start a C25K schedule?
Just curious if anyone was ready to start a C25K schedule....I'm going to start the 9 week plan and thought it would be nice to have someone else who may be wanting to start with me :) Ya never know until you ask, right? Someone out here might be looking to try it as well so let's hit this one out of the yard together…

I'm sure this has been asked before but......
I'm sure this has been asked before but I've only been on the boards since February so I am going to ask because I've learned to trust the MFPers to help when you ask for it :) So I'm going on a cruise next month....I've been doing awesome and I am happy with my eating. I know I can exercise when I'm on the vacation; that…

Question about unexpected hunger....
Question for those of you with more experience....I'm pretty consistent/habitual with food (which means this is great now that I've changed my eating but obviously was detrimental before) and the last three months I've been in a great groove. Today I am literally starving. I wasn't expecting to wake up hungry so when I was…

big goals....or small goals...THAT is the question :)
I'm curious....if you have a lot to lose do you really set a big goal (which can seem so far away) or do you set a goal you feel motivated to reach and then once you reach it...you set another small goal? Just curious about what motivates you more :)

concern with the "goals" in MFP
I'm starting to be concerned about the goals....it has you put in your age, height, current and desired weight (regardless of how long you take to get to the desired weight) and it keeps saying 1200 calories. Well if I listen to what's being said about TDEE then that's way below what that says...it is becoming confusing to…
