Longest stretch of logins in a row?
What's the longest run of continuous login days that you have seen on MFP? One of my pals just hit 735 days in a row. Such dynamite commitment. I've heard others say that MFP is their new Facebook, only healthier!

The 600 calorie muffin
What is wrong with our food industry? My husband brought home some banana nut muffins from Sam's Club today. Honestly, I am not making this up: the nutrition label says each muffin is 600 calories! Really? We can't do better than this? Guess I won't be eating any of them, or maybe just one bite and done. Somehow we need to…

Retirement location recommendations?
Hey everyone. My spouse and I are on the far cusp (meaning he's 60 and I'm in my late 50s) of retirement and we are starting to think about where we should retire. No family to consider, so it's just us. We are looking for someplace warm and dry. I would love to be able to take public transportation or ride a bike to…

Do you believe in "Set Points"?
My digital scale weighs in 10ths of pounds, (as in 1-fatty-2.4). I struggle to lose .2 pounds, then down .4. Sometimes I lose a whole pound (not often). But then I'll have a "bad" day, maybe more sodium, maybe more calories than I should. And BAM! The next morning my weight is right back up to 1-fatty-2.4. I mean, exactly…

Leftovers
I grew up in a family that always had food, but were taught never to waste anything. We cleaned our plates, or saw the same food come back next day as leftovers. This is deeply ingrained in me. But it's causing me trouble. Here's an example: I went out to breakfast with my husband on the weekend. Planned my day, only ate…

Keeping motivated
I have been an avid MFP recorder for over half a year now, not missing one day. I'm at a plateau of sorts (actually gained a couple pounds) for too long, and my motivation is lagging. I find that if/when I continue to lose, even just a little, I'm excited and continue to follow good eating habits. But when I plateau for…

Best gaming platform for exercising?
I do not currently have any gaming console. I am thinking of getting one because I think there are some neat-looking workout "games" out there. I like moving to music, if I must move at all (ugh). What do you suggest as the best platform for workouts? Advice anyone?

Need a friend - how do I do this?
Hi. My name is Debbie and I have been using MFP religiously for about 2 months. I think it is a fantastic tool. I love reading blogs and posts and I envy when I see "friends" support each other. I have lost 15 pounds and have about 85 to go. I'm beginning to need someone to talk to, someone to share with. How does one go…

Is anyone out there interested in exploring an anti-inflammatory diet? If so, why? What do you hope to accomplish with it? The topic intrigues me.
