33 pounds lost and 1/3 of the way! Pics of course :)
Hello MFP! I joined this site March 27, three days before my 25th birthday, and gave myself what I THOUGHT at the time was possibly an unrealistic goal. I've done the typical yo yo dieting before, but never seemed to drop more than 25 pounds before I would fall off the wagon and go back to my bad habits. I'd never tried…

YouTube favorites
Hello!! I have weights and a treadmill at home, as well as random other tools and DVDs, however I get bored. I like to try new workouts and ideas, however don't have a gym membership to join classes, etc. So anyways, what I'm looking for is your favorite YouTube workouts! I'd like to try maybe some beginner dance, but can…

Birth Control Suggestions
Really not sure where to post this.... My doctor had previously put me on Alesse, and I tried it for about 5 months but was still getting a visit from TOM that would last about 2+ weeks and never shortened back down. Went in last week and my doctor switched me over to Yaz. Just found the reports on Yaz that 23 women have…

Polar FT7 - Does the Womens/Mens matter?
Just wondering... I'd rather order one of the black styles myself and wanted to double check if the fact that it's sold as a 'Men's' watch matters? Is it already inputted into the HRM that the wearer is male then and would it maybe mess with the calculations? I'm not so much of a red/pink kind of girl, but will deal if I…

26lbs down, 70 to go to first GW!
Disclaimer: No pictures. :glasses: WOOP! Okay, so I'm just super pumped since my weigh in this morning. I joined MFP on March 27 when a friend introduced me (LOVE YOU), and have been attacking this healthy new lifestyle since then. As of my weigh in this morning, I'm officially down 26 POUNDS! Going from a sedentary, eat…

Pyle Sports HRM - Distance Question
Hey all, I'm just wondering if anyone knows how far away from the HRM watch you can be while wearing the chest strap for it to register? I'm hoping to be able to wear the chest strap while playing baseball but jewellery of any kind is not allowed so I would not be able to wear the watch, I could leave it in my ball bag on…

Cracking joints!
So I've suckered a few of the other ladies in my office into joining me in some squat challenges, etc. One of the girls (stats: 5'8, 130lbs, 24yrs old) seems to crack her joints constantly. Not purposefully, as in sitting there cracking knuckles, but as in every time she drops to squat, either her ankles or her knees will…

Kettlebell Routines
Hey all! :) I currently (along with a lot of other exercises) do a Kettlebell routine by FitBlender that I found on Youtube. It's kind of monotonous. 4 circuits of the exact same moves over and over for upwards of 30 minutes. Just wondering what others may do, if I can find one to switch it up with or something. I usually…

Beginner Walk vs Jog speeds?
Hey! I personally love running, just have absolutely NO endurance at it, and that's why seeing this group lit me right up! I've been doing intervals myself on my treadmill, but I'm hoping that having a set schedule with increasing difficulty will help me to rock some stamina! I'm just wondering general ideas of what speed…

Just a thank you.
As the title says, I just want to say thank you to all of you who have been brave and proud and posted your Success Stories on this board. Every little change is a success, and it is so inspiring for myself, and (I assume) everyone else on this site. Anytime I'm feeling a little laggy about lacing up my runnners, and…

Avocado help!
I bought some to try from the grocery store but did not know how to check for ripeness. I was apparently backwards, and all the ones I bought are definitely NOT ripe. I just cut one in half, peeled it and took the pit out (fairly difficult) and am wondering if there's anything I can do to salvage it? If I seal it up in…

OH HAI!
I felt the need to make a new thread, because I would love to have more friends on here. I've only been on MFP for about 3 weeks now, and the overwhelming support and friendship that I've encountered has just been wonderful. I'm very active on here (some might say overly addicted), as my job puts me at a desk all day and…

I want more friends. Kthx.
Hellooooo! I'm new to MFP (about a week so far) and am absolutely ADDICTED! I'm loving the motivation and support that is given on this site, and also that I can be a cheerleader for others on the same journey! So hook a girl up with a friend request! :love:
