New-to-me Fitbit Stuck in GMT
Hi! I'm back to MFP after a long hiatus. I did have a fitbit, but it met its demise after an accidental round in the washer. Now that I'm back to MFP, I purchased a used Fitbit. After some struggles, I got it set up.... except the time is stuck in GMT. I have done the following per Fitbit troubleshoot:* Reinstalled fitbit…

I LOVE Zumba...but my feet don't!
I started Zumba-ing about 3 months ago. I love it, it's fun, it gets my heart pumping and when I isolate the core muscles, I really feel them working. I'm sore the next day or so. Perfect! But, the one big hinderance I have that I don't look forward to is my feet start KILLING me. They hurt worse than some of my muscles…

Anyone know how to read a Sportline heart rate monitor?
I bought a Sportline heart rate monitor, it wears like a wrist watch. I used it tonight to track calories burned for the first time at Zumba. It's showing me the time I worked out on top, and then below that it says CA, across from the CA is 1024. Does that mean I just burned 1024 calories???

Shin Splints with 30 Day Shred?
Darn it all!! I'm on my 2nd attempt with 30 DS. I stopped the first time because I thought I messed up my ankle/shin doing the side lunge with the arm extensions wrong. After about 8-10 days, my leg felt better - I could walk without limping. I restarted Shred, and after day 5, I'm getting that same leg pain again. I was…

Facebook down?
Is facebook down or has my work blocked it again? I can't even see the litte box on the right hand side of the main page that show which people "liked" MFP on facebook.

Do you need a cell phone contract for an iPod Touch?
I was looking into the iPod Touch. It has a ton of features, and I didn't think you needed a contract, that it just used 3G or Wifi (like a Kindle). But, I saw that it has other features like texting and video calling - so now I'm not so sure... How does it work?

Any insight to leasing?
I am renewing my lease with my landlord. We are entering our 4th year there. With the new lease agreement, she included a Pet Addendum. We have had the same two pets we had when we moved in. There was a 2nd sign off sheet stating that we currently own two dogs, and any additional pets must be disclosed on the new Pet…

Am I sending the wrong message to my son?
My children are my main motivation for my desire to get healthy. They are my world and I know that I am theirs. My youngest son is 7 is always asking me if he's fat.. (He's not!) I would say absolutley not, and that he's a healthy young boy. He would then pat his tummy and say, I think it sticks out too far. He doctor did…

Food Poisoning or Intolerance to something?
I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced this. It happens to me about 4-5 times a year, usually when I go to chain (sit-down-and-be-served) restaurants, which doesn't happen very often. About 30mins to an hour after I eat, my stomach starts to rumble and churn and I just know I'm in trouble! It's happened to me after…

I saw someone post a site in another random thread, and I cannot…

Whatcha Reading?
When you're not reading the newsfeed updates and Message Board posts, what are you reading? I'm reading "New Rules of Lifting for Women" (a little nervous about this) and "50 Shades of Grey" - wowza! It's not my usual genre of reading choices, I'm more of a suspense/thriller type reader (Love me some Dean Koontz!) but,…

"Running isn't good for you"
I suck at quick retorts and comebacks....I usually come up with something good I could have said hours after the exchange....but this has still stumped me.....because one little part in the back of my brain actually believes what was said to me.... I was in the locker room at the gym we have here where I work. Two other…

What is the Unit of Measurement used on an Elliptical?
On the Elliptical trainer, it shows you distance. The ones I use in the gym at my work don't say what the unit of measure is. My coworker thought it was miles...but it can't be...if it were, that means I went 1.5 miles in 8 minutes..... That's just not possible! LOL! Is there a standard unit of measure for the distance…

I assume we are each creating our own thread of our own journey..? Here is my starting data: Weight-loss goal: I'd like to be down about 20 lbs from where I am today. Non-scale goal: Shopping for sizes found in Aeropostale. I love their stuff - but they don't have sizes bigger than 16/18. I'm a 20 now. Was there this…

NSV! Thank you C25K!
Just a few weeks ago, I'd get winded quite badly on my walk into work from the parking lot. Here is a typical walk in: From my parking spot At the bottom of the hill: (of course, a few weeks ago this was covered in ice! Then, the stairs! By the time I'd reach the top of the stairs, I was gasping/wheezing for air. I noticed…

Picture Quotes
I found that I love finding quotes, and pictures to go along with them. Google is my friend! I tried to find another thread to post on, but the only result from a search brought me back out to the main page, it wouldn't go to the thread...so..I'm starting one with some of my own creations. Please add your own too!!

Question about C25K Pro App
I have the app on my droid, and am on Week 3. Just today, the lady stopped talking to me. I just get a pause in my music when it's time to change between the walk/run intervals. I looked at my settings, and I didn't have the low notification volume checked. I must have hit something somewhere and now cannot find it. I look…

Egg beaters got frozen...are they still okay?
I put away the groceries, and KNOW I put the package of Egg Beaters (single serve cups) in the fridge. But when I opened the freezer this morning, I saw them on the shelf in the freezer! Oh no! I think my hubby put them in there. I checked the package for the warning "Do not freeze" but didn't see anything. Are they are…

An LOL moment
I just had to share... I'm on the treadmill, looking at the TV, and had ear buds in so I can't hear the TV. On comes a commercial with a talking bag of Tostitos. The thing is moving it's "mouth," and walking along, just as my music plays the words "I'm Sexy and I Know It!" and the dang bag lip synched perfectly to it and…

Target Heart Rate - does it really matter?
I have a heart rate monitor that I have been using for Zumba. I noticed that during Zumba - my heart rate varies from 150 - 180 and I burn a crazy amount of calories in that hour of class. During the fall, I volunteer as a coach and the practice hours conflict with my zumba class. :( I have started going to the gym and…

My First Ink!
I have wanted a tattoo for a really long time. I told myself when I reach goal weight I would get one. Well, an opportunity came up that I could not pass down. A little boy of 4 years old that lives near me had heart failure recently. He just underwent a heart transplant and is doing really well! A tattoo parlor is…

Frustrated with 30 Day Shred DVD
I popped in the DVD for Day 2....overslept a little, had exactly 28 mins allowed for a workout...and had to watch all the dang commercials again! And then the intro to the series! My remote would not let me skip, fast forward, and the menu button wouldn't work either. Just kept getting the symbol where there's an "X"…

One-A-Day Mulitvitamin with Active Metabolism
I have been taking this vitamin since I started MFP. My son was in the medicine cabinet looking for something my hubby sent him for, and moved everything around. I couldn't find my multivitamin for 3 days!! I just found it this morning, in the cabinet, hiding directly behind the divider and I just never saw it! LOL. Also,…

Food Database, How do you confirm?
I noticed when adding things from the food database, there will be a liite note stating "Confirmed by 28 members." How do you confirm a recipe? I was just noticing an entry I put in stated it had 19 grams of fat in it according to the database, but the item was fat free. I did subtract it out and found a version of the…

Lean Cuisine
I've been having Lean Cuisine meals for lunch for a while now. I did notice that they had cute little bags shown on the back of the box. I ignored it. Yeah, they're cute, but I didn't feel like ordering something and collecting upc codes or whatever. Looked a little closer today...you don't have to pay for anything! Not…
