I'm breaking up with my scale.
Last year I was at my highest weight, roughly around 160. I felt gross, I ate because I was sad and I was sad because I ate. I was still wearing my maternity jeans, 18 months after having my daughter. So I starting MFP and then I starting running. I was eating better, drinking a crap ton of water and feeling SO much…

If you have up'd your calories recently...
How long did it take to see if it was working for you? I up'd mine maybe a week ago and I've lost nothing. :( I've lost 6 lbs all together but that took me forever so i wanted to see if going from 1200 to 1440 would help. Anyone else recently (or at all) go up and how long did it take to see it was working for you?

Just up'd my calories.
Time to be a big girl. Lol. Went from the 1200 (plus extra from working out) to 1440. Hoping this works. Haven't lost anything in a week and a half and this should be the easiest part to lose (the first 10lbs) People that have moved up, how has it helped you?

NSV! I look my age!
Most people want to look younger. I've looked like a chubby faced 17 year old for, well, 10 years. I just chopped off my hair and took a picture very similar to 2 months ago. And the hair cut plus the 5lb loss make me look my age! Yay! (Side by side pic is my new profile pic) Nothing else is showing yet...no smaller sizes,…

Best HR monitor
I usually use my apps on my phone and ipod (Nike +) while running and working out. However, I want something alittle more accurate to see how many calories I'm actually burning. I mostly run, but in the winter I go to the gym. What would you suggest? I've been eye balling some polar watches, people who have them- do you…

Obsessed with water
So I used to down Diet wild cherry Pepsi like there was no tomorrow. I mean, I would probably drink a 2 liter..maybe a day.

Favorite app?
What is your favorite app to use while excercising? I would use Mapmyrun when I only ran/bike rode. Now that I'm going to the gym, I'm looking for something else. I want to get a polar watch/heart monitor, but thats not something I can get right now. So what do you use?
