Friends list clean out time!
I went to my friends list and noticed a LOT of inactive people. Some inactive by 7 months! I'd like to remind everyone to check their lists and make room for new friends. Also I'd like some new friends that log in at least weekly.

Antidepressant meds and weight
I would like to make some myfitnesspal friends who are on anti-depressant drugs to share how they affect weight and fitness. I am recently taking medication and it's been really hard to deal with the side effects and still keep up with diet and exercise and I'd like some friends who would understand.

Prescription weight loss drugs?
Several women around me have reported up to 20lb losses in a single month, so I go to them and say "wow you all must be doing something I'm not, let me in on the secret?"

Cool fitness gadgets that are not expensive?
So I looked through the app gallery and found a monitoring armband that tracks your activity 24/7 and can then report the data back to My Fitness Pal (149.00$ plus monthly subscriptions) and a scale that can report back to the site also (costing over 100$) As wonderful as I'm sure these items are my bank account needs to…

Fitness rewards as motivation?
I like to reward myself when I reach a fitness milestone. I usually buy a new workout outfit or treat myself to a beauty service. Does anyone else do this and what is your most effective motivational reward? I used to aim for really big rewards when I reach a really big goal, but when those goals never got reached I was…

Weight loss reward majorly backfired!
I promised myself if I went from 198 to 173 (25lbs lost) in 2012 I would splurge on a fancy haircut and color. I did achieve that and went to the salon with hair down my back and a picture of a Victoria's Secret model asking only for a trim and to have my normal hair color freshened up a bit to match said model's color.…
