It Starts with Food
My daughter just loaned me this book. She said she lost 6 pounds in one month following their dietary recommendations. So I'm thinking about trying to implement it in January if I like the book (have only read the intro so far). So I'm curious about results people have had with this. Thanks for sharing!

Best free app for intervals?
I'm about to take the leap to regularly adding some bouts of running/jogging to my walks. I want to do one minute of running alternating with three minutes of walking for a few rounds. Does anyone have a favorite free app that I can download onto my iPod to time these intervals? Thanks!

"I Wish I could lose 80 pounds"
Now that I've lost enough weight for most people to actually notice, when they ask how much I've lost I get this response a lot. At first I was at a loss on how to respond (I want to snarkily say, "If wishes made it happen I would be skinny already") so didn't really say anything. Now I say, "I'm really working hard at…

Fitbit in the water
I got a Fitbit Zip for myself for Christmas, and have enjoyed using it for the past week. I love to see the graphs on the site fill in with my activity! Now I want to be able to use it when I'm doing water aerobics. Has anyone found a good, reliably waterproof, case or cover that could be used in the pool? I'm sure my…

Resizing rings
It's a nice NSV that my wedding rings and diamond anniversary ring are practically falling off my fingers, and I will probably have to stop wearing them soon if I don't get them resized. However, I'm only halfway to my goal so my fingers should still get smaller. I just can't decide if I should get them resized now, or…

Day #365
It's today! I have now logged in and tracked my food for a solid year. I don't have pictures to share right now (if I can figure out how to post them), but I'm still a little less than halfway to my goal anyway. But I can say that consistency in logging and working out does bring results. I'm not losing super fast, but I'm…

I can finally see the difference!
I recently posted my one-year anniversary success, but even though I had lost a decent amount of weight I have continued to have a hard time really seeing a difference. This might be because I still have a lot of weight to lose. But last month my daughter came across a picture she took of me with my new granddaughter last…

One year on MFP and 77 pounds down with pictures
Here I am with my sister in 2012, before my daughters introduced me to MFP. I had pretty much resigned myself to being fat and told myself I just needed to learn to accept it. This past Saturday we returned to the same mall to celebrate my baby sister's birthday. I still have over 80 pounds to lose but it's exciting to see…

my hamstrings! Ouch! What to do....?
Last week my trainer gave me a workout that involves a lot of lunges and squats (including squat to press with 20 pound kettlebell) and stints on the treadmill at 24% incline. I wasn't more sore than normal after we worked out together. But after a week of doing that workout on my own, teaching water aerobics every other…

downloading the app
All I find in the google play store is the older version and I don't see the "blue button"to install 2.7. Can someone help me with how to get this version installed? Thanks!

RAPIDfit workout
Has anyone had any experience with this workout? My trainer started me on it a couple of weeks ago. He only has me do 3 rounds per workout (as opposed to the recommended 6 rounds) because that's pretty much all I can handle at a time right now. I am doing the treadmill part at an 18% incline. I am losing weight and inches…

Need reassurance that this is the right way
In mid-July I decided to really get serious about taking my body back! I've lost 50 pounds or so a couple of times, then quit caring about myself and gained it all back with interest, so now I've got 150 pounds to lose and have been working hard at it. So, in four months of counting calories and working out 5-6 days per…
