Arm fat!!
Okay, so this is weird, but the part of my body I am most self conscience over is my arms and how flabby they are! Even when I was at my lowest weight, my arms were still huge. How do you guys get rid of arm fat? Does the Shake Weight work? Has anyone tried it? I have one, but I'm wondering if it's a waste of time. I don't…

Supportive and active friends, anyone?
So I just went through my friends list and deleted about half of them due to inactivity, so here I am hoping I can gain a few new active, supportive, motivational friends! If you want to add someone based on similarities: I'm 20, 5'7", 211 lbs and hoping to get down to 175 (or wherever feels comfortable.) I promise to…

Common question, but I have to ask: What is the best Heart Rate Monitor, specifically for counting calories?

Looking for friends with similar challenges!
Hello everyone! Call me Silla. I'm 20 years old, 5'7" and 213 lbs. I have a knee problem (scar tissue) and I am in Physical Therapy to get myself back to normal. I am on doctors orders not to over-do my workouts as to not reverse the progress I've made with my knee. Before my knee injury I was on a successful weight loss…

Not new here, but new start (knee problems?)
Hey everyone! Call me Silla: 20, 5'7", 213 lbs. I admittedly jumped off of the wagon for the past few months due to a knee injury. I'm in Physical Therapy now, but I was instructed by my doctor to quit the gym for now to give my knee time to heal. The gym was all my motivation to get fit so quitting the gym resulted in me…

HRM suggestions/help
So for a while I figured the HRM's on the gym machines were enough for me to see what I was burning but now I'm going for walks/jogs, bike rides, swims, and just being more active in general so I think it's time for me to invest in a HRM. Especially since I really don't trust MFP's calorie burn counts.. So my questions:…

Um, what?
So I have a friend that I hang out with almost every day. This friend and I used to go out to eat (Red Robin, El Mirador, Taco Bell, Subway..) pretty much every day before I decided I wanted to get healthy. She decided she'd like to get healthy too so we joined a gym and for a while, we were going every day, cooking…

Friends?
So I just did some spring cleaning on inactive friends and I'm finding my timeline is lacking the flow of positivity it used to have! If you are supportive, motivational AND/OR need supportive, motivational friends, feel free to add me! :) Hope everyone is having a lovely day!

Budget shopping! Ideas please!
Okay, I know this question gets asked a lot and I am sorry but I'm going to ask anyways. I have $10 to buy groceries and it needs to last me quite a while. I have eggs, potatoes and oatmeal so I'm covered for breakfasts for a while. What are some ideas of foods I can buy for lunches and dinners? I really want fruits and…

Taco Time logging
So today I had the Spicy Beef Gigantic Burrito from Taco Time! They are literally the most yummy thing ever! Anyways, how would I log it? They're new and promotional so they don't have nutrition information up. Ingredients: Seasoned beef, refried pinto beans, seasoned rice, cheese sauce, Mexi-Fries®, sour cream and 5 Alarm…

What made you decide to make a change?
So I know that times get tough and sometimes we feel like giving up but lets use this thread to remember the moment that gave us a reason to start this journey towards a healthier life. The moment that made me realize how bad this was getting was when I looked at a photo taken last year at a wedding: I prefer anonymity on…

Take my advice...
If you're lacking motivation to reach your ultimate goal weight, try setting yourself mini goals and reward yourself with something you really want. Personally, my mini goals are 5 lbs apart and I have nice little rewards (a new book, new phone case) next to them. When I reach my ultimate goal weight, my reward is two…

Logging what someone made for you??

I am not going to…

Mini NSV time :)
TWO MINI NSV'S IN ONE NIGHT! #1: My family brought cookie dough (my all time favorite treat), ice cream and pop tarts. Usually when this happens, I fill up a bowl right away and regret it later (and usually fall off the band wagon the next day.) I'm so proud because my entire family has been eating those sweets but I have…

"Oh, so you're starving yourself?"
So my mother just informed me that they are having Chinese take out for dinner and since I just had Red Robin for lunch (and was hoping to have a semi healthy, filling, yet not completely bulky meal for dinner) I told her I was planning on having yogurt, granola and a ton of fruit for dinner. She replied, "Oh, so you're…

You know what...

Because we work hard and dang it, we deserve to stop and smile for a second. Post one (or multiple) things you've achieved on your journey to a healthier life so far; something you're…

Let's talk tea!
Since tea is said to be a drink that promotes healthy living, I've decided that I want to start drinking more of it but there are so many brands and types that I don't know which tea to purchase. So what types of teas are healthiest? What is your favorite type of tea? What brand do you purchase?

Homemade granola bars?!
Being in college, my mornings are usually quite a rush so I am in the need of a good morning snack and someone suggested that I make homemade granola bars. So naturally I'm asking that if anyone has a homemade granola bar recipe they'd be willing to share, please do so! I want it to be as healthy as can be but still taste…

Help me make a grocery list!
So since my family doesn't agree with my choice of healthy eating I've decided that if they can purchase the food they want to buy, why shouldn't I? So when I get paid, I'm going grocery shopping on my own! What sorts of things should I get? And be specific with brands and everything! Keep in mind that I'm buying in bulk.…
