Coming back to the fold
I've been on MFP for a while now, but the last month or so I've been pretty much off the wagon. I've let life-drama get in the way of my fitness goals. I've slacked off on the gym and on my healthy eating, and I'm feeling crappy (both mentally and physically) because of it. I'm going through a divorce (albeit an amicable…

My new goal
I've decided on a new short term goal. I'm going to be 30 in 8 weeks, so my new goal is to be down 30 by 30! I'm 20 down so far, so that just leaves 10 more to go.

Just dropping to introduce myself...
Hello everyone! I'm a new MFP member as of June 1st. I've been working on losing weight since the beginning of the year, and have lost 15 lbs overall so far. I started out doing Weight Watchers, which was nice for a while. But then my 16 week package ended and I needed to decide if I should renew it or join the gym. I…

Yet another HRM question...
Hi all! I have a Reebok Precision XT HRM that I haven't used very much. I've been working out a lot more consistently lately and want to make sure I'm tracking my calories burned accurately. So I have it all set up with my age, height, weight, etc. My confusion comes with how to read it though. If the HRM tells me after a…
