Respawning (After Eight Years)
Hey all! I’m Shelby (Ghost). I’m a 29 year old teacher-turned-stay at home mom. I have a two year old son. I love writing, roleplaying, cosplaying, traveling, and skiing. When it comes to weight loss, I’m a train wreck. I joined MFP in January of 2013. Since then, I’ve graduated college, taught social studies, married my…

Serious Accountability Buddy Needed
Hey all! I'm looking for someone who I can stay in constant contact with - I'm talking text, Skype, Discord, whathaveyou. Someone with whom I can get and give motivation, talk exercise, and food. Right now, I'm having a hard time keeping myself going. Having someone else checking in on me will help me over that hump.…

FitBit Replacement
Hey guys! Recently, a big air bubble has appeared on the band of my Charge HR. It is steadily growing, and is now reaching the actual display. I've contact FitBit. Before they will send me a replacement, they want to see the FitBit itself. Seems that they can't ensure a replacement until they've seen mine. They estimate…

Workout Plans
I am always willing to workout, and I love doing it, but I am a bit directionless. I would love a website, program, or app that would lay out workout plans for me, based on my current goals. It would also be really great if it changed based on improvement. I've been researching for a while, and since there are loads of…

Cosplay!
Any fans of cosplay here? Feeling comfortable in my new cosplay is one of my biggest weight loss goals, so I figured I'd ask around. I also just really love looking at pictures of other cosplayers. :)

Hey everyone! Now that I've finished up my last final, I'm looking forward to getting serious about my weight loss. I'm dedicating this summer to kicking those unwanted pounds. I also have a bit of free-time on my hands, and I was thinking about putting together a weight loss challenge to keep me motivated. What I'm…

Harry Potter Themed Exercise Challenge
Hello! I am starting up an exercise challenge to run in conjunction with the Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge. Unlike Hogwarts, which is built around weigh-ins, Beauxbatons Academy will focus on challenges only - exercise, food, and Harry Potter Trivia. Here is some information on the challenge, which will all take place in…

Expresso Bikes
I tried out my new apartment complex's gym, and they have two Expresso Bikes. I fell in love with the whole program immediately. I love the idea of competing against others (and myself, as "ghost"), and the community feel that comes with it. Things like that really help keep me going back every day. I've run some searches…

Fitbit Flex vs. Fitbit Charge HR
Hi all. I have had my Fitbit Flex for a couple of years now. I absolutely love everything about it. However, my birthday is coming up, and I'm thinking of upgrading to the Charge HR. I'm just working on losing weight right now, and I use the Fitbit as more of a motivator more than a 100% accurate tool. But I don't have a…

Die Flügel der Freiheit [Attack on Titan Exercise Challenge]
Hello everyone! Just wanted to tell you about my newest fitness challenge. It is Attack on Titan themed, and focuses entirely on exercise. This is a very laid-back challenge, and will not involve food challenge or weigh-ins. For that reason, it will work for just about anyone! Once you are accepted into the group, you will…

First Time Playing WoW
Finally broke down and bought it yesterday. I guess I couldn't outrun it forever. I've been watching Sword Art Online, and I'm in the mood for a fantasy MMORPG. I played SW:TOR, but I'm still mostly clueless in this whole WoW thing. Any pointers from veterans?

Confidence - First Victory
A month ago, I decided to reset my counter and "start fresh" to get over my plateau. I haven't lost much weight since then, but I did have something very important happen to me. :) A couple of weeks ago, a classmate saw me browsing the Shutocon (a local comic/anime convention) website. He asked me who I was going to…

Weighing Daily
I'm considering making the switch from weighing once/twice a week to weighing daily. I've already seen how too much sodium, TOM or a hard workout can have a huge impact on the next morning's weigh-in. I get frustrated when I work hard for days, only to not see the loss. I've had quite a few people recommend I weigh in…

A HRM For Christmas
Hey all! I am asking for a heart rate monitor for Christmas. I know that I have been overestimating my exercise calories, and if I want to get serious about this, I should really stop doing that. My question is this - what would my best option be? Most of my workouts is pretty basic - running, biking (spinning and…

Please Excuse the Brief Geek-Out
The new Fable game, Fable Legends, has just been announced. The trailer is incredible, and I want it so badly. I'm not one to keep up with the latest and greatest console (still farting around on my PS before my parents bought me a 360 for my highschool graduation gift), but I'm so very tempted to buy the Xbox One for this…

I Made Some Changes
Hey all! Just finished up day thirteen. I am on level two, and have been for about five days now. However, I noticed that I've gone from looking forward to the workout to dreading it. I am much happier going out for a run, going to the gym or doing my own core work. I know Jillian's talks by heart. I actually took two days…

Weight Loss Competition Group?
Hey all. I'd really love to get involved in a group with a "biggest loser" feel to it. Something where we are put on teams, and at the end of the week, we weigh in and see who lost the most weight. I think if I had a team depending on me, it would provide even more incentive to work harder. I've found a couple of…

30 Day Shred
I know that there have probably been loads of similar topics, but before you cry "topic repeat," let me preface this by saying I did go through the last half-dozen pages of the forum and didn't see anything. I started 30DS a week ago (today is day 8), and I'm really loving it! Lost a pound this week, as well as a few…

Just Arrived
Hello everyone! I had no idea that this group existed, or else I would have joined a lot time ago. Zombies seem to be the only thing to motivate me to run! Glad to be here, and I look forward to getting to know you all. Best, Another Runner 5

Requiring Incoming Friend Request Messages
I have received a number of friend requests in the past few days, all of which have not included a message. While I hate to make broad generalizations, from my own experience, people who do not include a message of some sort often go on to be incredibly inactive. This, obviously, has exceptions. But I love getting to know…

Need Help Getting Out Of This Rut!
Hey everyone! I have been logging for about six months now, and I have lost quite a bit of weight! It was going really well for the first couple months! Unfortunately, I haven't lost anything in a few months. I'm going to change up my workouts, try new foods, and really push myself over the next couple of weeks. I had a…
