Christmas Power Challenge
Hi there! I'm thinking about starting a new challenge. My idea is a group of us can join together and, potentially, become MFP friends. Weekly weigh-ins with a chart to track our progress toward our personal goals. Opportunities to have support and set smaller weekly or daily targets (i.e. drinking more water, walking for…

Educators?
Hi! I'm not new to MFP, but I am seeking new friends. I stopped logging in March of this year, and I gained all but two pounds back. I'm done feeling sorry for myself for not holding strong. I'm on my second day of logging everything. Here's the dilemma. I work in education at the district office. We cater everything and…

New Friends
I was on MFP and had a great streak of living healthier and logging. Unfortunately, I fell off a few months ago - gaining 20+ pounds back and losing most of my MFP friends (which I completely understand!). I'm looking for people who would like to be friends, who log in daily, and who comment in diaries and exercise. I'm…

Interest in a weight-loss challenge? :)
Roller-coaster mania has been the theme for 2014 for me. It's time for 2015 to be productive. So, why not start with a challenge? I've been on MFP for a little over a year (consistently), and I love the accountability of challenges. In the past, I've done short challenges (under 6 weeks) and that allows us to see some…

Looking for friends!
So, I've logged in every day for a year! :smiley: I'm looking for a few friends. Ultimately, I'd like someone who is consistent and who will comment (rather than just like) on my diary and/or my weight loss. I'm not an over-poster, but I do check my feed. I don't needs lots, but a few engaged friends would be awesome! I'm…

St. Patty's Day Challenge!
As I've been on this journey, I've discovered that setting small targets for myself has really helped! Currently, I'm moderating a Valentine's Day Challenge. Once that ends, I'd love to start a St. Patty's Day Challenge. (Notice the holiday theme! :laugh: ) Set your individual goal, log it into the spreadsheet each week…

Any peppermint patty recipes?
Does anyone have a recipe for low-calorie peppermint patties? Sometimes I splurge on the full size ones. Unfortunately, having an open bag of mini's just means I eat them all. Seriously love those things!!! Thanks.

Strength Training and Weight Gain
Good morning! I began a pilates strength training class two weeks ago. And, while I've seen increased definition in some areas of my body (especially legs), I've also seen the scale increase. I expected this (especially as muscles weighs more than fat). What I didn't expect was the fact that the number continues to…

MFP Friends?
Good morning! I'm looking for a few MFP friends who will comment (not just like) on my success. I have some amazing friends and would love just a few more!!! Typically, I am very active on this site, and I try to comment on most of my MFP friend posts throughout the day. I'm 6'0, and I've dropped 30.4 lbs thus far. I'm…

Pilates for LBM?
Hello! I've been incorporating walking into my daily routine for the cardio benefits. However, I'd like to start with some type of exercise that would provide an incorporation of stretching while maintaining/increasing my LBM. Is pilates an option (as opposed to lifting)?

Seeking Friends!
Good morning! I have some wonderful MFP friends. I'm also at a point where I'd like a few more active buddies! Here are a few things about me... ~My top priority is coming to understanding that the number does not define my worth. If I do not love myself 100% right now, then how will I love myself 100% at my goal weight?…

Christmas Challenge?
Hello! I was thinking of starting a Christmas Challenge. Personally, I would love to work with people in a group who will have fun, post frequently, and have a goal of what they would like to drop by Christmas. I'm happy to set everything up. Just seeing if anyone is ready for a challenge?

Calling All Educators!
I'm not quite sure where to post this....I'll start here and re-post as necessary. The beginning weeks of school seem to be full of back-to-school evenings, setting up classrooms, stocking up on supplies, and preparing for the first month. Let's band together and make sure our nutrition and exercise remains a priority…

Pause, Breathe, and Begin Again
Each of us battles our own demons. And, sadly, sometimes the demons take a few victories. A decision in mid-December to take a short break and maintain, began a seven month break with minimal accountability. Rather than reigning in when I felt the lose clothes tighten or when I gained ten (or fifteen or twenty or…

HRM Question
Hi there! I just used my HRM for the first time today. I plan to eat back most of my calories. Just for clarification, the HRM calories burned includes calories that I would normally burn sitting on my bum + calories burned from the walk, correct? In other words, eat back how many calories (i.e. 50%, 75%, 90%). I'm sure…

Not sure that this is possible....however, I'd love to connect with some buddies in the Castle Rock area who are on MFP but would also like to get together to workout (primarily outside while the weather is gorgeous!!!). Seems like tackling the food online and the workouts in person would be a great next step. Any…

My first NSV today!!
Yesterday and today have been quite the emotional rollercoaster around some personal items. My NSV? For one of the first times I can remember, I did not comfort myself with food. I stayed within my calories and didn't let the desire to binge overtake my hard work! I also did not get the "whatever" attitude and give up. To…

Dating and Overweight....Any Advice is Appreciated.
My starting weight was (to me) a staggering 272.6 pounds; I'm 5'11. Two years ago, I was 220. I thought I had gained a few pounds not 52. My goal is approximately 160. So far, I've lost 23.6 pounds. At 14 pounds lost, I awoke one morning with a sense of empowerment. This was for me. This journey was with my insecurities,…
