Meal selections while on a camping vacation
Summer is on us I hope. I spend a great deal of my summer RV camping in our national forests. Just recently started a plant base meal plan. Anyone have any meal suggestions to help me stay true to getting healthy? I so used to throwing meat on the campfire grill. I do prepare healthy soups to freeze for trips.

Back for the Third Time
Hi from the beautiful state of Oregon. This is my third commitment to MFP. 5'6" and weighed in at 182.4 this morning. My highest weight has been 213 and my lowest diet weight was 146.5.

Back Again
Hi from Oregon, In the past I worked "MFP" and it worked wonderful. Lost over 50 lbs and totally loved MFP. Well here I am back with the need to loose those same 50 pounds again. Yesterday I went in for a wellness check with my physician. She walked in, introduced herself and said to me "do you realize how much weight you…

Map My Walk
I have been using Map My Walk for months to record my walking miles. Truly disappointed to find out that it is so inaccurate. :( Anyone else have any input about Map My Walk. Perhaps you have another app to suggest that is accurate. Shirley (living in Oregon training to walk a marathon)

Fasting Documentary
This is a documentary about liquid diet fasting. I found interesting. It is a hulu recording so there are a few commercials. Well worth watching to the end to see the man's success. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/02/02/fat-sick-nearly-dead-documentary.aspx Shirley in Foggy Oregon

Perfumes
Perfume smells give me migraines. So my question is would you rather sit next to someone in a venue wearing perfume or no perfumes. I can't begin to count the times I have purchased tickets to a concert only to find I am sitting next to a perfumed up person who has no idea they radiat for distances I can't measure.

GARMIN FORERUNNER 210

I received a GARMIN FORERUNNER 210 as a recent gift and my oh my has walking become fun! In the past I would walk and record my minutes on…

MFP Meet & Greet
Has anyone organized a successful Meet & Greet? I went into my find members section and sent messages to twenty members in my area. Out of twenty messages only one responded that she might be interested to come but was curious what the purpose was. Just wondering if anyone has ever held or attended a MFP meet and greet.…

Meet and Greet-Springfield, Oregon?
It was my intent to contact some MFP members in my area to see if there was any interest in a meet and greet. After I sent messages to five members I received a message saying only 5 messages could go out every ten minutes. So will post on the message board and see if anyone replies. On really nasty weather days (like our…

Sincere question here
Having been on MFP now for several months I am truly questioning the posts that ask "How can I possibly eat 1200 calories per day." Do the subscribers who ask that truly have a weight problem? I have to wonder if those posters are measuring/weighing their portions. Is it a matter of incorrect recording. Shoot I can consume…

HRM-Polar FT4
I received a Polar FT4 as a holiday gift. Not sure I will use it. Thinking of returning it. Any suggestions? Anyone have a HRM and find it helpful or beneficial? I also received a Garmin Forerunner 210 that I have used the past four mornings and love it. It tells me calories burned, pace, and distance. So you think a HRM…

NSV
This morning i was folding laundry (a chore I do not like) and started folding my underwear. After a 50 pound loss (not all of the loss was while on MFP) I started laughing. Mixed in the laundry among new undies was a pair of old 50 pound heavier undies. Now that was a NSV!

County calories so easy....exercise tracking keeps me motivated. I always found counting calories overwhelming but now find I CAN DO IT! 61 year old grandma that wants to…
