April Monthly WL Challenge
Greetings all! Well, the world certainly has been thrown for quite the loop since we started our last challenge in March.

Shaking Up Spring - What Will You Do Differently?
Greetings, all! I haven't been as active as I normally am on the boards for the past several months. Part of it has been winter; I think I went into major hibernation mode somewhere in November and have only recently emerged. However, if I'm really being honest, I hit a wall with my progress and just felt stuck. Up through…

Milestone Celebration
I know we often post successes and challenges in our weekly challenge threads and some of our other discussions. However, I feel as though we can use a place to post and preserve our milestones as we continue on these journeys. Whether they're big or small, here's a space to mark the 10s or 100s of lbs you've lost, or even…

New Year, New Goals
Greetings, all, and a Happy 2015! I've noticed that the boards have been quiet lately; I'm hoping that now that the holidays have passed and we're on our way into a new year, we can get things going a bit. For many years, my resolutions were always the same: lose weight, get healthier, be a better version of myself. While…

Superb September WL Challenge
Greetings, all! Summer is winding down, a new school year has begun, and before we know it, Fall will make her grand entrance! We put up some good numbers in August, and many of us commented on our need to refocus our efforts as we begin a new season. I plan on getting a lot more water and walking into my daily routine…

Plateau Busters
All right, 1C+ losers...summer is rapidly drawing to a close, school is starting up again, and fall is going to be here before we know it. It's time to dig deep in our toolkits and bring out the strategies, tips, and ideas that help us bust through plateaus and keep our scales moving in the right direction. What are some…

Spring Ahead in April WL Challenge!
Since Dan and others are always doing the lion's share in making sure we have a challenge to look forward to each month, I thought I'd take a turn with getting the ball rolling. I'm a big believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", so here's how this goes (as previously explained by Dan :-): If you are new and want to…

There's a lot of "us" worth saving.
I came across this blog post and thought I would share. One of the things I really have a hard time with is this notion that we somehow have to disown our fat selves as we continue on our journeys in order to prove how much "better" we are now. I don't know if it's different for people who were thin and then gained weight…

8 months out and suddenly...
I'm a little less than 8 months out from surgery, and things have gone very well. I had no post-op complications, was up and walking within hours, and have generally been able to get my protein and water in without much of a problem. However, in the last week or so, my hunger has completely vanished and I've had stomach…

Problems with Runtastic?
Is anyone else having problems with Runtastic integrating with MFP?? I've had both the MFP and Runtastic Pedometer Pro apps for android since October, and they've always integrated with no problem. However, in the last few days, I've noticed that my workouts are uploading to Runtastic from the app, but the information is…

So what have you lost??
This was a thread from one of my other forums, and I really got a kick out of it. Here's the link to a list of objects and their respective weights: http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=3421351 What have you lost? (feel free to mix and match!) As of today, I have lost... 2 toddlers and a…

Halloween Highlights
Yesterday was one of the best Halloweens I've had in awhile. We went trick or treating with our friends and their children, and it was fun to get a preview of what life might be like once we have children of our own. The bonus was getting in 2.5 miles of walking and getting to see gorgeous little houses in a nearby village…

How many carbs?
Greetings all!! For those of you sleevers who have been at this awhile, how many carbs do you find yourself eating per day? I'm only a little over 2 weeks out from surgery, so I'm still not eating much of anything, but I want to try and prepare for when I'm back in the real "day to day" of preparing meals, etc. Thanks!…

Mini-muffin/loaf pans?
I've read on a few different forums that having mini-muffin or loaf pans for making mini, on the go meals is a good idea. Does anyone have any specific brand favorites they like to use? Silicone vs. metal?
