Restore top bar navigation aligned to MFP Home
The new layout essentially extracts Community out of MFP. I can't toggle between Community back to my Food Diary and have to have separate browser tabs to check community and update my food diary (computer access). Would prefer if top bar navigation (Home, Food, Exercise, Reports) was retained when user is in Community.

Like Ilvermorny, Hogwarts or fantasy stories? Join this eight-week challenge
This is a new eight week challenge from 6 September to 31 October. Focus will be on overall wellness with assignments for mental health, strength, cardio, flexibility, and nutrition. It will be similar in structure to the Hogwarts and Ilvermorny challenges in that "class assignments" will be posted based in topics you…

Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm Sarah. JUST got engaged and a little intimidated by the planning process. I work a pretty demanding desk job so it's tough to fit in the workouts sometimes and I'm pretty bad about emotional eating. Big Day: ~July 2016 (haven't set a date yet) CW: 162 (I'm 5' 5") GW: 120 (overall and for big day) Hobbies: reading…

Status update?
Is anyone still here? Are people staying on 5:2 and moving into other IF regimens or just doing the standard MFP without complicating with IF? If still on 5:2, how is it going? Are the fast days becoming easier? I'm still doing 5:2, but I've combined it with 16:8 IF. I think it makes the fast days a little easier, but my…

Wedding Pics!
There's a few in different threads, but thought I'd create a thread to collect all the wedding pics as they come in.

Prune in June
Seemed like a lot going on for everyone last month and starting to see some drop in participation. The idea of this months discussion title is to do what we can to cut away the extra stuff that's just bogging us down (sucking up time) and give the good stuff room to grow. We need to take a step back to be sure we're…

Making May MINE
Ok, starting to run out of monthly titles, but the thought here is on taking control of life; yes, there are always things that are out of our control, but focus on what you can control. Similar to April, take ownership/accountability for our decisions and do what you can to make May YOUR month. Rock your goals! Do that…

April Awareness
Here's the goal thread for April. I titled this awareness because I feel like some things are becoming autopilot (good in some cases, not in others). The idea is for some reflection (if you want to share, that's great). Suggesting that we be more aware of each decision: i.e., I'm choosing to lay in bed and look at…

evites vs. paper
Taking a straw poll on what people are using, thoughts on different options.

Motivated in March
A new month is around the corner already. Seems a few of us have struggled with staying motivated, particularly after a break due to vacation/travel/WEDDING, or just with competing priorities. Let's work on staying motivated this month and helping to keep each other on track and motivated too. What do you need the most…

What do you eat on your fast days?
I thought this might be an interesting topic to get a little activity on this group. What do you eat on your fast days? Do you eat one meal and maybe a snack (depending on size of your meal) or do you try to portion 500 calories of something you can snack on throughout the day (i.e., trail mix)? I've combined 5:2 with 16:8…

Fit and Fabulous in February
I know it's still a week out, but thought I'd post this for folks to start thinking about goals for February (and before I forget). ;)

Bachelorette Party/Weekend?
Since I saw Jill's post that her's is coming up, I thought it would be fun to hear what everyone is doing/has done for their bachelorette party. Are you doing classic bar hopping and strip club? A party or more of a weekend getaway? I'm thinking basically grown up sleep over with alcohol and CAH, maybe a couple outings…

Determined in December
Not that we aren't determined every month, but I thought we could all use a little extra push this month to get through those holidays to reach our goals at the end of the month. Extra support for Jill in the last month before the wedding, but the holidays is tough for all of us with lots of temptations. Let's try to…

No __________ November or Nutrition November
I'm not normally into restricting, but I thought this could be interesting for us. Pick a bad habit you want to focus on avoiding this month (dietary or otherwise). For those with good habits (or that need those bad habits for sanity), consider making this Nutrition November: pick a macro that you want to focus on meeting…

MST3K Fans?
I got super excited about yesterday's announcement Joel might bring Mystery Science Theater 3000 back. I still have fond memories from high school of hanging out in a friend's basement with the knowledge bowl team watching episodes. Or watching on Netflix more recently with friends. Wondering if there are any other fans…

ROCKtober
There was some great progress (except by me) in September, but the fall marches on and it's time to start some new goals or re-dedicate to previous ones. I thought we could focus on strength/toning this month? Keep up the great work and let's rock October!

Tug of War
Discussion topic: What are your strategies for juggling all of your commitments with respect to work, home, family, fitness, wedding, etc.? WARNING: Rant/whining ahead. So, feeling a bit overwhelmed this week and thought I'd ask how others deal with the constant tug of war between all your commitments/roles. For me, it's…

Sassy in September
Just a few more days of August left. Let's keep the monthly goals going. I know Jill is doing a Sugar-free September. Anyone else have particular diet/food goals? While it's good to still have our exercise goals, let's focus this month on healthy eating.

Making it YOU!
Hi all. My fiance and I went to the Renaissance Festival last weekend and picked up a few things for the wedding that I'm super excited about. We got champagne flutes with pewter stems sculpted as dragons; the tails can be hooked together and it makes a heart when they're next to each other. We also got a custom candle…

Challenge for July
I want to start a challenge, but keep it somewhat free form since people are at different points: 1. Inches (I want to lose 1 inch from each of hips, waist and abdomen) 2. Weight (I want to lose 5 lbs/get under 155 by July 31) 3. Exercise (I want to work out at least 4 days a week and walk/jog at least 50 miles) Set your…

Ideas for what you would like to see?
What are your goals/things you would like to get out of this group? Is it helpful to have monthly challenges? Weight loss or fitness challenges? Please feel free to make suggestions and start discussion threads.

Tips for Tuesday
Hi all! Hope your week is off to a great start. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to share with the group? For general planning, resources, or just dealing with stress?

FDA declares partially hydrogenated oil no longer GRAS
Just wondering if people saw this and thoughts: http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/16/health/fda-trans-fat/ Apparently there was a "tentative determination" back in 2013, but today, FDA has made the final determination that partially hydrogenated oil is not considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe) and manufacturers must…

Who's still here? Anyone for a group challenge?
Inspired by the new topic to keep the group from being deleted by appearing active, thought I'd ask. Anyone up for a now to Thanksgiving or now to Christmas challenge of some sort? There are 7 weeks to Thanksgiving and 11 to Christmas. 10 lbs by Thanksgiving or 15 by Christmas? Or workout challenges? Walk/jog 100 miles by…

Intermittent Fasting?
So I know the group hasn't been terribly active, but thought I'd try a new thread anyway. I've been feeling kind of stuck for the last couple months so thought I'd try a bit of shock on my system just to get things moving again (trying to get under 150; I've pretty much been around 151-153 for the last 2 months and can…
