I need HRM advice/help/suggestions!
My birthday is coming up and I am hoping to get a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM). I want one that monitors my heart rate (duh) but also one that counts calories and acts as a pedometer. I am looking for something that is $200 (USA) or less. I am not a serious athlete. I am using this for weight loss and personal fitness goals.…

2 questions I'm sure you'll know the answer to...HELP!
Two questions: do you count tea as water intake (not chai, but regular green or chamomile tea)? And how do I "favorite" foods so I don't have to look them up every time? I know they sometimes show up under "Recent" but is there a way to "favorite" them?

30-Day Shred - Let's Keep Each Other Accountable
Hi everyone! I bought Jillian Michaels' DVD "30-Day Shred" the other day and I have stared at it, held it, watched it while lying on my bed, and used it as a coaster. I need some MFPeeps to do it with me, to keep me and each other accountable. This group will have ten members, including me, and then be closed. This way, we…

Quotes to Live By
I am a quote junkie, I'll admit it. I thought I'd post some of my favorites here and see if anyone else has any quotes they'd like to share. I try to write some new quotes up on the white board in my bedroom every week to keep me motivated. The quotes do not necessarily have to be explicitly related to weight-loss, just…

My "Before" Pics...will I get in trouble?
Okay, so I took pics about a week and a half ago when I started back on my diet/exercise plan but in them I am in my bra and underwear. The underwear are briefs, not thong or string bikini or anything and the bra isn't see-through or skimpy. Still, I wanted to check...will I be able to post these or will I get into…

What I'm Doing Wrong (And Right)
So, this may not be of interest to many of you, but I'm going to bare all here and see if it helps to motivate me. I'm doing some things well and some things not so well. They are as follows: WRONG: -I am still drinking Coke -I am not drinking enough water -I am not exercising enough RIGHT: -I am down to 1 Coke a day from…

A startling and helpful realization...
Now that I'm paying more attention to portion control, I've noticed something about my eating habits. The other night I was trying to enjoy my 29 cracker serving of reduced-fat Cheez-Its and I realized that, instead of eating one cracker, chewing it, swallowing it, and starting again, I had a tendency to toss two or three…

From Chronically Ill to Totally Fit!
I'd like to start a support/motivation group here on MFP for people that are dealing with chronic illness and/or injury in addition to being overweight. As anyone with a chronic illness knows, it r-o-u-g-h to try to exercise and eat right when you spend much of your time not feeling well. I include psychiatric illnesses…

Is my calorie goal too low?
I'm a 26 (well, 2 months away from 27) year old female who weighs in at 185 lbs. I'm 5'3" on a tall day, 5'2" on a short day. I'm aiming for an ultimate goal weight of 110 lbs. Right now, I'm allotting myself 1200 calories and 30 fat grams per day, while keeping an eye on my sodium, sugar, and carb intakes. Is 1200…

A question for the ladies...
I am just starting on my weight loss journey here but I'm psyched to have found this fabulous site! I'm 5'3" and weigh in at 185 lbs, with a 40DD bra size. I have always enjoyed being a busty lady. :wink: Will I go down substantially in cup size as I work towards my goal weight of 110 lbs.? Do any of you have experience…

Should I eat when I'm not hungry?
So, I'm having kind of a weird problem today. My weight problem has always been about the kinds of foods I ate rather than the amount of food I ate. Now that I'm trying to make healthier choices, I'm noticing I'm not necessarily hungry enough to eat my allotted calories. I don't want my body to think I'm starving it or…

Workout Playlist Suggestions?
I'm always looking for suggestions to add to my workout playlist. I need jams to keep me going since I can't read and walk at the same time (haha) and TV doesn't keep me motivated. Please specify the artist and the song name. Thanks in advance!

Newbie looking for support!
Hi all, I joined this site awhile back and never used it. I have recently become committed to changing my lifestyle in an attempt to alleviate my chronic, severe, and frequent migraine headaches. I also suspect it will help with some self-esteem and anxiety issues that I am struggling with. Plus, my five-year anniversary…
