BodyMedia Fit-- reading high?
Anyone else think that BMF is full of it saying their new algorithms are more accurate than before? I think my calories burned are reading 350-700 too high depending on the day. I have no idea what to do about it and it's very irritating.

looking for friends maintaining 80-150+ loss
I'm about 7 years in to maintaining 115 pound loss and find maintenance to be much more of a challenge than losing was. I'm looking for active, fit, healthy in mind and body friends to encourage and be encouraged by. Message me a short note or reply here. Thanks!

Breast Lift? Share your experience!
I'm considering adding a breast lift to the abdominoplasty (extended tummy tuck) I have planned but I'm concerned about loss of sensation and if I will be happy with the shape after. Some before and after pics I've seen on-line aren't what I'm hoping for and if that were the result, I'd rather stay as I am. Just a lift,…

looking for cyclists and weight lifters!
I could use some new friends with similar interests... I am currently mostly working out in the form of distance road cycling and weight lifting at the gym (for toning, not competition). You don't have to to be perfect, I am certainly not! But I do appreciate friends who: log in consistently, strive to meet their goals,…

looking for friends who lift to be lean
Hey-yo out there in MFP land! Short story on me: fat kid, obese young adult, started getting fit after my first child was born when I almost 12 years ago. Since then I had 2 more kids, lost -125 pounds (non-pregnancy weight) and have maintained that for a combined total of about 7 years. I was a runner but had to give that…

Looking for new friends with similar style/goals
I am working on fat loss, whole food eating and gaining strength/muscle. I'm also working on repairing my metabolism, lowering my cortisol/stress level and getting away from obsessive calorie counting and using intuitive eating and signals instead. Anyone who is looking to avoid sugar and processed foods, eat lots of…

Sugar Avoiders: what do you eat for dessert/treats?
I've recently cut out as much "obvious sugar" as I can but I still eat fruit and get some from things like small amounts of dressings and condiments. I'm going to cut back on those too, just not right now. (baby steps, people... baby steps!) Last night was the first time I wanted to indulge in a treat since I've started.…

MFP's pie graph-- how do you use it?
Do you follow the suggested percentages from MFP? I've been cutting out sugar and lowering my carbs from grain/sugar sources. I'm aiming for 40-30-30 (carb, fat, protein) most days and a little higher (but under 50) for carbs on intense training days (I'm a distance cyclist). Just curious what others do and if it is…

holidays & you: plan to gain, lose or maintain?
I've been through 12 holiday seasons now where I actually think about what I'm eating and how much activity I'm getting. Over the course of my -125 loss/maintaining my weight every year has been a little different. Some years I was really on fire with weight loss and was able to turn down special treats and meals with no…

longtime runner, 1st half marathon
Looking for anyone else training for a half-marathon in November (or close to it) to swap stories and encouragement! Mine is in 6 weeks. Last weekend I participated in a 10 mile running event. I know I can do the 13 miles, I just want to come out of it with less pain and more energy than I did after that run.

Wanted: "whole food" eating friends
I love looking at other's food diary for inspiration and suggestions... I need some friends who are trying to cut out/avoid processed foods, sugar, etc. I spent years eating "diet" foods and it was part of the process for me losing 125 pounds but I no longer believe that is the way to go... I'm much more interested in…

Moms of middle school age kids?
I'm new to the world of pre-teen kids with my oldest girl going into 6th grade this year... any other moms of middle schoolers in the same general stage of life as me looking for friends?
