New Group: MFP Polynesians - People of the Pacific
I couldn't find any support group for people of the South Pacific so I decided to start one. We have some of the biggest people in the world and the lack of nutrition knowledge as well as unhealthy food choices seem to go hand in hand with daily life. We live very sedentary lives and combined with our "laid back" attitude…

Motivational and Inspiring
Copied and pasted from Neila Rey's Google + page (and copied again from tikimatt) Healthy living doesn’t start on Monday. It’s not about committing to it and never looking back – that’s simply non-maintainable. How long can you stay on a strict diet and go on with a heavy exercise regime? a week, two weeks? Then you break…

Groceries on a budget !
This won't work for most people but if you're finding it hard to eat healthy on a budget, think again. Although I don't use most on the list created here, it's a good example of how one can get by a week on so little. My staples are: eggs, oatmeal, tuna fish cans, sardines, potatoes, milk - which can always be found cheap.…

I also notice they've come out with socks to go with it. I'm really keen on trying them out but would love input from other's who have them.…

It also promotes drinking lots of warm or hot beverages with every meal, especially hot tea. this lady lost 70 pounds in a period of 6…

Accuracy with machines vs what's on MFP
Hi all, I'm somewhat new to MFP and find that the calories I burn on a machine doesn't exactly match that on MFP. As a matter of fact, it's substantially more calories burned on MFP than on my actual machine so I don't know what to make of it. How accurate is MFP and should I be concerned? Thanks for the help!

Food scale in Australia help pls :)
Hi there, I am looking to buy a food scale soon and would like some opinions from someone who already has one based in Australia. I have googled and found so many but I think asking the MFP community would be better than me trying to find the right type on my own. I'm looking for something that isn't too bulky, can fit…
