Just got the UP24 and I need some teammates!
I am super excited because I just got the UP24 for my birthday... problem is, I only know one other person who has it and that can make it kind of dull. Any fellow UP24 people who would like to become teammates for motivation and support? :) A little about me: My name is Jessica, I am a recent college graduate and am…

Is 1200 calories too few?
Hey guys! I've been with this site for many years now but I have been a little bit inconsistent. However, one thing that has always stayed the same is my goal of losing weight. With the "recommended" guided option, it told me I should aim for about 1,200 calories (I weigh about 165lbs right now and I am 5'4"). I've weighed…

Hot Hula- Calories Burned?
I went to my first Hot Hula class today... surprisingly challenging, works your core, and most definitely your thighs. By the end I was sweating up a storm. I'm trying to input exercise for today, but MFP doesn't have a count for Hula OR Hot Hula... so I'm not sure what I should input. Any advice?

Returning Member in Need of Motivation!
Hello, everyone! I have been a member of this site for years and have had success in the past using it. However, I went off to college and started working two jobs and ended up not using this site anymore. In consequence, I have gained weight and I'm dying to lose it again! I have currently graduated and am working 2…

Back to MFP after Way Too Long!
Back about a year ago, I used MFP religiously and lost about 20 pounds. However, I began working two jobs and I felt so busy and stressed out that I didn't log my food anymore or exercise. Oh, and on top of that, I turned 21 and began going out for drinks... that definitely did not help the waist line. Anyways, I'm BACK. I…

Hot Hula, Zumba, Turbo Kick/Kick Boxing Classes
Alright, I'm REALLY interested in trying all three/four of those classes... as a member of 24 hour fitness, I can go to any and all classes for free. So far I've only utilized the step and yoga classes, but I'm starting to get to the point where an hour of straight up cardio (treadmill, elliptical, etc) gets really boring,…

In need of some more lovely motivators :)
My name is Jessica and I have been on this site for a few months now, but I'm lacking in the MFP friends area. I'd really like some more MFP friends in the age range of 18-24 (although I'm open to all ages!) who are looking to make healthy eating and exercise a new part of their weekly regimen (sometimes its really hard…

Protein Shakes
I went to the market recently to pick up some protein powder to make shakes for the times that I'm in a rush and need something quick to eat. I talked to one of the guys there and he basically told me I was wrong in everything I thought, that I shouldn't use protein shakes as a meal replacement, etc etc. He basically…

"Light" Exercise
Lately, I've been frequenting the gym for yoga and step classes, but I like to return later in the day for some cardio (just to reassure myself that I'm doing everything I can to lose weight). I try to vary it up between the stair stepper, elliptical, stationary bike, and treadmill (every other day I add weights in too).…

Ciao!
My name is Jessica, and I'm relatively new to this site (thank you, Android, for the lovely introduction). I used to be a livestrong-er a couple years back, but they don't have the application on the android yet, sooo.... HERE I AM! Hoping that I'll actually stick to it this time... need some motivation though... And…
