Matcha?
I accidentally bought Matcha not really realizing what it was (I envisioned instant green tea, like instant coffee). It's not too terrible as hot tea and I love green tea, but I have a hard time looking at this stuff in liquid form. I don't mind the flavor of it, it's just that it looks like a cup full of algae. Can anyone…

Linking to Runkeeper?
Is it possible to export my workout data from runkeeper into my exercise or am I going to have to enter my workouts manually each time?

Interesting article on before and after photos
I just read this article about before and after photos. It's amazing that in a matter of an hour the guy writing it could make himself look so different, and it just drove home to me (someone who struggled with body-image issues) that just because in one picture a fat pouch might be showing through my shirt, or in another…

Is anyone else doing the squat challenge noticing...
So I started doing that 30 day squat challenge, basically where you add 5 per day. I'm just doing it on my own, not as part of a group and I can't even remember exactly when I started. I'm up to 80 now, and I've noticed that my abs seem to be getting stronger, is anyone else noticing that? I mean, I'm not going to…

Fitbit Flex, Jawbone, or what?
Does anyone use one of these dohiggies? Do you like it? Has it helped you? Do you use some other device that you really like, or have you tried one you hate? I'm pondering the purchase of one to help get me going again, I'm the master of plateaus and I'm fed up with it.

Body Weight Strength Training
I need some ideas for body weight strength training. It seems somewhat silly, but I feel like whenever I try "freeforming it" I end up just making junk up. Sure, push ups and sit ups and squats and lunges are obvious but I need some more ideas. In particular, I need to work my back and shoulder muscles. I have a really…

This is scary.
My details: Female 34 years old 5'3" 152 lbs as of 15 minutes ago. Previously I lost 75 pounds, I gained back 10 of that (and I know why, that 10 was lost when I was very stressed and not eating properly and doing much more walking than I usually do). So, no surprise, I gained back the weight I lost doing stuff out of my…

Food Processor
So, this isn't a recipe but I wasn't sure where to put it - I figured here was best because people posting and interested in recipes are the ones most likely to have (and use) a food processor. I've been looking at buying one, I've got a million things I'd like to use it for (in particular veggie burgers to get rid of the…

Tracking strength training
Why can I not seem to find any of the exercises I do when I strength train on MFP? I do the tricep arm push down thing, the butterfly arm thing, the pushing your arms up weight machine, the thigh machine (both inner and outer), the leg pusher thing (where you sit on the bench and it slides up as you straighten your legs -…

I need some ideas...
I don't want to buy a workout video, but I need some ideas of what I can do with just a yoga mat and a resistance band at home during the day and I'm hoping someone has a general "if you do this set you burn x calories" type of thing because I haven't had luck tracking strength training exercises yet. My story - I joined…
