Reminder to Runners
For the love of Mike stretch. I have been giving it some real wellie and not stretching. Was pulled up by one of the trainers at the gym when I complained about a pain on the outer part of my left knee. Naughty me was not rolling after my long runs. I keep wondering why it is good to have running buddies and fitness…

30lbs Lost - the photo that started it all
I went on vacation in August of 2012 and my husband snapped me on the beach. I had been unaware of exactly where I was at in my health and fitness, but that photograph cleared up any misconceptions that I was doing 'OK'. I needed a change. The inset at left is me in the same suit and shorts July of 2013. I have lost more…

After picture - 30lbs lost
So I am feeling a bit down and needed to give myself some clue that yes in fact I have had some success. Maybe I am still considering some additional goals (weight loss or further improved fitness)...but I do need to celebrate this.

How to know you are at the end of your weight loss journey
Hi, I was wondering if some other MFPals who are maintaining could share their experiences about when they decided they were 'done' with their weight loss and how it has been for them psychologically adjusting to their new size etc... I seem to be on the fence about it and am hovering at about 159-162 at the moment - which…

Food hangover
So...whenever I go to a party these days, and I eat the sundries put out for guests I wake up the next day with the same feeling as I would have had, back in the day, if I had over-indulged on the beer or wine. Does anyone else get a 'food hangover'?

Vacation Success Story
OK...so something amazing happened - I went to Hawaii for two weeks and didn't gain any weight. In actual fact I lost some. I had gone back up to 172 prior to leaving and then dropped back to 169 as of today. LOL. I realize that using this app has taught me so much about what I should avoid in quantity that I am ok when I…

Favourite apple?
I am having a love-affair with the ambrosia apple...so floral and sweet - it tastes like you are eating the apple blossom...so delicious. Anyone else have a certain apple of fruit they just can't get enough of right now?

Biggest Looser - motivating or not?
I was watching the biggest looser recently - and seeing the 10 lb drops the women are logging in right now kind of made me feel ****ty about my weight loss. Now I realize that is sort of stupid because they are probably training 7 days a week 6 hours a day sort of deal - but it kind of worked on me a bit to see it. It…

MFP Zealotry
You'd think they were paying me the way I tell people about how I have had success using this app...anyone else have moments where they feel like they are embarrassing themselves with their enthusiasm?

Heal spurs experiences with continued training?
So just got the results of my X-ray and have heal spurs on both feet. Anyone have any non-surgical intervention that has allowed them to keep running?

Give us your cheer
The sun is out in my city and I have lost 17lbs thus far on my weight loss journey. I am able running 5 KM three times a week and have dropped a dress size. Bought a really funky shirt for my vacation in Hawaii in a size SMALL ladies and gentlemen. So I'd like people to post some positives that are happening in their life…

Lesson? Read nutritional info BEFORE ordering
I was out with my children today at the mall. We had errands to run and my daughter (4) who has been poorly has been asking if she can have a yogenfruz fruit 'ice cream' (frozen yoghurt) since she started to feel better. Our timing was a bit off and so we had lunch at the food court. In the food court there is a mine field…

10lbs off – feeling great
Holy heck - just realized I have lost 10 lbs - like officially! So despite annoying weather, barfing kids and not being able to go to the gym (see barfing kids)...I am feeling pretty pleased with the world! Some other things that are happening because of moving, getting motivated and generally taking my health and welfare…

Maintenance calorie levels: what happens when you are done?
OK - so this has been on my brain for a while. And I am hoping to hear from people who have met their goals and are living with their new lifestyle but am willing to hear from anyone who has some knowledge to share. When you have met your goals and are looking to maintain a weight how do you establish your calorie count?

Husbands
A go to list of words not to call your wife who is on a diet: Fat Lazy *kitten* Any combination of the above. It is not motivating and will make your wife unhappy and she'll lose weight - the equivalent of your body weight when she divorces/leaves your *kitten*! ;)

Not feeling it today
Super low energy and want to eat everything, ever, everywhere today. Am trying to find some good low calorie recipes to try - as I am trying to stay between 1200 and 1300...if I don't get on top of a routine soon will go mental. Think this is due to the return to the diet after Christmas - just took down the tree (huge…

Green coffee extract - Success Stories?
I am using green coffee extract in addition to diet (1200 - 1300 c/day) and wonder if anyone else is and what their results/experiences/thoughts are. I realise it is a bit of a fad thing which is why I am not relying on it, but a lifestyle change, to give me the results I am looking for. ;)

Surprising things about your new lifestyle?
I have two interesting things that I have discovered and enjoyed of late - early days but it is still interesting what I am realizing: - my skin is clearing up and more moisturized these days - more fruit? less wheat products? Something I have been struggling with for a bit over a year, since the birth of my son. Kind of…

Rate your fear of Christmas food on a scale of 1 - 10
I am at a healthy 8.5 with a bit of rationalization keeping me from an 11. Keep thinking the holidays don't go on forever and the longer I hold off on baking the better it is for me...and my diary count!

Hello from Edmonton!
So I just added this app three days ago and am loving it. Well today I am loving it. At 41 realized that the weight was not going to come off on its own even with a pretty intense work out at the gym. Reality worked something like this: Day one on MFP: Epic sized number on diary - like twice the amount I should be taking…
