Multiple Sclerosis and Strength Training
Hi ladies, I'm restarting my weight / strength training after a year or so hiatus. I've recently reread the new rules of lifting for women and am using this as a guide. Does anyone in this group have MS, just curious. If so, do you notice a difference lifting before and after your diagnosis?

MS Healthline
Hi all, is anyone on this app? I joined it several weeks ago and I have gotten a lot of information regarding MS. It has quickly become another tool in my tool belt. I joined this group a little bit ago however do not see much activity. I've been on MFP for many years. If you are active and would like a fitness and diet…

Recently diagnosed with MS
And hoping to get some support through an active group. I did not see any posts specific to MS however being an autoimmune disease I assume there are similar challenges.

Is this group still active?
I have been recently diagnosed with MS and am looking for an active group.

Anyone doing any Jan 2019 challenges/programs?
I have been feeling a bit complacent as of late and am looking for something that can help me step it up moving into the new year. I have maintained my weight loss for the most part (hovering around a year now) even with a move out of state and job changes but my goal to tone up has not been as successful. I feel myself…

Current favorite workout song?
I have just discovered Pandora. *gasp* :noway: I know, I know, probably the past person in the world to upload it, however my point to that confession is to admit that with that app I am discovering a lot of new songs that I am adding to my playlist. My current go to song is "Turn Down for What" by DJ Snake and Lil Jon.…

12 Week Weight Tracker_Aug - Oct
Hey there peeps! I kinda fell off the (exercise) wagon these past 6-8 weeks with emergency family stuff but now am at a place where I feel like I can get the focus back onto myself. It’s a necessary evil sometimes but man I absolutely hate it when I stop “moving” because it’s 10x worse getting back into the groove of…

For The Men - You all are too quiet on here
Alright gents, I never see you men participate in any of these challenges or in many of the other posts so I ask, what sort of posts/topics would like to see? What is it that you are tracking? What type of challenges are you doing? I would love to see some more bro interaction in this group so any input would be greatly…

Three Random Facts - Let's Play!
Alright, so TMI Tuesday got me thinking that we should have a similar thread in this group. I was thinking it would be fun and interesting to post 3 random facts about you. Okay, well maybe it’s just me that thinks it would be fun but whatev. :tongue: I am curious by nature and with so many new people coming into our group…

August Miles (walked, jogged, ran, swam, etc.)
Hi peeps! Before I get pulled away for "something" I thought I'd be proactive with some down time. :wink: I think I am at a point where my family situation has settled down enough for me to focus on getting back into some exercise and be an active part of our challenges. You all inspire me to keep moving forward no matter…

Getting back into the groove
Hi there peeps! I know I've been gone for a minute but I'm hoping that with things settling back down at my house I'll be able to hop back on the fitness horse. My oldest son is stable for the moment and the shifting around of my house, work schedule, appointments, etc. is done for the most part. August is coming up and I…

High/Low Corner
I like to think of us as an online family. For many of us we seek the encouragement of others on here that are dealing with the same struggle (our weight). I was thinking we could have a thread to post our highs and our lows. Not every day of course but if you got that promotion at work that you so totally deserved, I…

So, where are you at?
I am bored and have some down time (for once lately) and thought I'd start a new thread. :happy: I was looking at some of the different introduction posts, trying to play catch up and I noticed some of you have asked if there are any MFPers near your area. So why not share where we are at? I'll start first. I am in West…

Holistic Nutrionist
I have an appointment with a Holistic Nutritionist this Saturday. This has always been on my To Do List but I have never been able to find one local here in tiny town. Has anyone ever been to a nutritionist (holistic or not)? If so, would you mind telling me what I will/should expect from my visit? Jo

Any gamers out there?
Are there any gamers out there? If so, what are you currently playing? I have been playing KOM (Hobbit) on my Droid for about 6 months. I shifted to that from KOC after playing it for about 4 years. Jo

May Challenges
Alright peeps I need some ideas for this coming month. :bigsmile: There are soooooooooooo many of you that lurk who are active/semi-active that I would love to have join in some challenges to not only motivate me and you but other 30 Somethings (maybe even some noobs). I also LOVE what the April Miles girls have done this…

April Miles Walked (jogged, ran, etc.)
I read somewhere that walking 75 minutes a week will add two years to your life. That is amazing considering the years we take off our lives by eating bad foods, consuming bad drinks, smoking, not exercising, etc. you get my point. Walking is so heart healthy and so beneficial without wear and tear on your body. I plan on…

2014 Jump Start -12 Week Weigh In
Hi peeps! If anyone is interested in keeping track of their weight this is a weekly weigh in with accountability day being Friday. For those of you that are fairly new to the group, this is not a challenge amongst each other but a challenge for our own selves; something to keep yourself on track. Those other challenges…

So how are you getting motivated in 2014?
It is sooo super cold outside, who wants to go out in that crap right?! :grumble: I know what I need to do but am not really motivated to get moving even though I know spring and summer are coming right around the corner. I never have a problem during those seasons but for some reason the cold just does me in. With that…

Taking a few weeks off - actives please read.
I wanted to take a moment to apologize to all of you actives in this group. These past few months have been very difficult for me and it has unfortunately been reflecting on here. I feel so guilty taking a few weeks off as moderator since I have worked SO hard getting this group active but my head is not in the game right…

Hi, I'm here. Bruised but not broken.
For those of you that did not know, I moved over Labor Day weekend. This was a very tough move for me mentally and physically. I am almost ready to get back into the groove with you all. I am giving myself until the weekend to catch up on our challenges; update and answer threads as needed. Keep sending good karma my way…

May Strength Training
I am so sorry for putting this thread up sooner. I did something awful to my shoulder and neck this weekend and was literally laid up for 2 days. :sad: I am putting my big girl panties on today and heading out to work. Any who, we have tossed around a few ideas for this thread and hope to incorporate them all somehow. I…

2013 Month Measurement Check In
Well here is the new 2013 Month Measurement Check In thread. Below will probably be the easiest method for posting on here. It will be the first of every month (+/- a day) and I am thinking that maybe in April I will do a total inches lost recap for each of us. What do you think? I have posted on the spreadsheet my…

6 Month Comparison
So I thought I would do a 6 month measurement comparison for myself and to share with you all. Even though I am still with a little TOM bloat I wanted to do it on the same day, the 6th. I am not going to take this time to point out anything negative. I am a working mother of 2 boys and have moved my *kitten* as much as I…

There are not too many of us posting about the rep challenge so I am not going to post an updated one this week.

Week 4 Challenge
I think I am mostly posting this for myself but I am okay with that. For those of us doing strength/circuit training I'd love it if you continued to post your progress. :wink: As most of you know, I suffered horribly last week with shingles therefore was unable to do the rep challenge. I am posting last week's challenge…

Newbie (kinda) with 40+ pounds to lose - care to join me?
Long story short I created a profile on MFP back in September and for a while I was using this site daily then slowly sloped off. My mom just had her 3rd stroke last week at age 56. She is overweight and sits idle for most of the day. I am more eager now than ever to lose these 40 pounds as I am afraid that if I continue…
