Not really new, but...
Hello! I've been lurking around on here for a while (about 10 months), occasionally posting and adding people, but I haven't really made effort to befriend anyone. So I'm looking for some friends! My name is Peggy, I'm 28 and about halfway to my goal. I've been plateaued for a while now, so I'm trying to shake things up…

Older guys...
So there's this guy at work that I'm really into. My roommate recently met him at a work function, and commented that she thinks it's reciprocal. I have no idea - I can never tell when a guy is flirting with me. I would normally just ask him if he wants to hang out, except in this case he is about fifteen years older than…

Going for hot pot tonight!
Hey so I'm going out for hot pot tonight with a friend. Does anyone here have an opinion on how I should count the broth? I'm not drinking any of it, just boiling my veggies in it. I was planning on just counting the veggies and then adding like 50-100 calories at the end..?

An NSV that's (sort of) all about the SV...
Today my gym posted (for the first time) a list of the top ten biggest losers since the new management started back in August. I was number one! So shocked! There was no contest or anything like that, so it's not like I actually won something, but I've never been number one at anything. On top of that, they asked me to do…

Which style of sets is better??
So I've had two different trainers with two different styles. Understandable, I'm just wondering if one is better than the other or if they both have their own benefits. The first trainer would pick three or four exercises and have me cycle through them on sets. For instance: shoulder press, plank, deadlift, rinse and…

What are you doing?
I'm taking $10 out of my spending money for every pound I lose and putting it away. It's my new clothes fund for when I reach goal. It's awesome seeing the savings account grow, and day dreaming about the way I'll fit my new clothes really helps keep me motivated. Anyone else doing something interesting to help motivate?

Body comp question
Does anyone here think that although body composition scales are notoriously inaccurate, they should at least give you a general idea of your stats? I've dropped four pounds since Monday, some due to water weight from a bad weekend I think, but my scale is telling me that my bf % is the same while my muscle mass has…

Deficit Tracker - this might help!!
Hi everyone, I created this deficit tracker on excel to help me reach my short term holiday goal - so far it's going pretty well! I thought I would share as I think it could be really useful around this time of year. I've never used google docs publicly before, so I'm hoping this works the way I think it will. I've entered…

Fitbit says I climbed 200 floors... (NSV)
But I actually climbed Mt. Osceola! Took five hours to climb to the top and descend. I could never have done this even just four months ago. However, with all my work at the gym the past few months, when my friends suggested this hike, I didn't hesitate. The best part for me was that I didn't slow the group down at all,…

Boston?
Hey everyone, fairly new and dropping in to say hi. Anyone else from Boston? What did you think about the storm tonight?!

NSV!
Feeling like celebrating this.. I've been doing interval training for a couple weeks now on the elliptical. Saturday marked the first time I not only breached 7 on the speed scale, but I maintained a 7.5 or greater for all of my intervals. It burned but I loved it!

Sodium vs. Sodium Chloride
So I have been trying to get a handle on my sodium intake after seeing a post somewhere on here saying MFP put the daily limit way too high and it should be more around 1500mg instead of the default of 2400mg. I reset my macro and got to work....er, not to any improvement whatsoever because there seems to be way too much…

Hi there!
Hi, I have just joined and I'm looking to meet people and add some friends for inspiration! A few stats about me as I haven't filled in my profile yet: Female, 27 years old, from Boston, I have a sedentary job (I'm an accountant!) but I walk 3 miles a day, go to the gym three times a week for 60 minutes and enjoy a lot of…
