Kettlebell pros - advice needed
I've used kettlebells for the past couple of years (sometimes seriously, sometimes not). The past few months I've been using my 15 lb. bell and figured it was time to step up to the 20 or 25. Bought 20 and 25 lb. bells but they are very small in size (compared to my others) and seem to be more difficult (heavy) to use.…

Nutra Ninja
I hate juicing - too time consuming. But, I love the nutrition it can provide. Does anyone have a Nutra Ninja? Reviews? Thanks in advance!

Fitness Pros needed!
I would like to add a hand weight routine. I use kettle bells about 3 times a week and would like to add the hand weights when I walk. I generally walk about 3 miles about 5 times a week. Any recommendations as to what size weights to start with? I'm thinking maybe 5 lbs (total 10)? I don't want to over stress muscles but…

FitBit Flex Users
Help! I got a Flex about three weeks ago. Since that time I've had a very difficult time sleeping. Last night I took the Flex off - and slept great. Has anyone else experienced this?

Turtlenecks in the summer...
Okay, I admit a turtleneck in the summer isn't going to happen...but I need to do something about my droopy neck. I realize there are tons of exercises to help the rest of the body not sag as bad when you drop weight...but I haven't found anything that helps my neck! That's the only part of me that looks my age...help!…

Even My Feet are Fat!
It seems that as soon as Mother Nature turns up the heat, I start retaining water and gain 8-10 pounds. Most often, I don't lose it until fall. The doctor says I'm healthy and it's just the way it is. I drink a ton of water a day so it's not that I'm dehydrated. Anyone have an idea how to get rid of the water weight?…

Low Calorie Salad Dressing
I scanned through the recipes and didn't find anything...so please help! Looking for some very low calorie salad dressing ideas and recipes. NOT lemon juice, oil and vinegar, or other nasty stuff..... I love ranch, creamy ceasar, thousand, etc. but hate the calories. Any ideas for less than 20 calories per tablespoon?…

Fitness Tribe!
Love MFP's new Fitness Tribe .pdf. Looking to add some very supportive members to mine. I'd like to have some things in common - a bit about me: I'm 55, female, and live alone. I have about 100 more pounds to lose. I strive for a healthy lifestyle - including clean eating and exercise. I like to share more than just…

Looking for new/old friends!
Friends - I've really scaled back on my friends with the intent to take my profile private. I've decided that is not the best move. If I can inspire just one person to be better, one person to smile, one person to be healthier it is worth having an open profile. So - starting now - I'd love to be friends if you are active…

Looking for Supportive Friends
I have the best friends on MFP. They are great supporters and have made all the difference in my being successful so far. The problem - I add new friends and then they aren't supportive or they don't like honest support. I'd love to find a few more friends who are honest (yep, tell me when I've made some bad choices); will…

Choose To Loose
Who has read Chris Powell's book Choose to Loose? Did you do his carb-cycling? What did it entail? Did it work? I'd love to hear the basics as well as your recommendation on purchasing the book and trying his program. It sounds healthy and many of the reviews said it helped break through a plateau (my issue right now).…

Water Consumption - Is it a lie?
A friend told me today that her doctor had said that we don't need 8 glasses of water a day. That we should drink about half of that and get the rest from our food. She further said that drinking too much water promotes weight gain and not weight loss. Has anyone ever heard of this? I've always believed that water was good…

Eat More...Weigh Less...
Quick History - Lost 110 lbs, completely stalled out for over 4 months - gaining a few of those pounds back. Could not get the scale to budge...until.... I upped my calories to equal by BMR on May 1. Put my ticker at 0 to gauge how effective this move was. So far 9 lbs down! That's with eating over 600 calories a day more…

Salt Lake City, Utah?
Anyone in the SLC area that needs a weekend exercise partner? Prefer someone about my size (@300) so I can keep up! Mostly outdoor park walking - Saturdays and/or Sunday mornings. Also would love to launch an "MFP" singles group in the SLC area....
