What's something fun you did this week?
Summer can be such a fun-filled time of year for some folks. Anything, big or small, make you pause and think, "Now that was fun!" or bring a smile to your face? Just curious ... might also inspire us to add a little something fun into our days ... or nights. Hope everyone is doing great and having at least a touch of fun!

She's such a fun person to be around! I didn't achieve most of my goals - came close or met my water goal most days, except the weekend (substituted several…

Introductions

I joined MFP 2.5 years ago and have found the resources here and the friends I've made to be quite helpful in keeping me motivated. I am 10 pounds lighter than when I joined…

You may have a better format, and if so, please share as I am always ready to learn! Here I go (with clarification): Original weight (when I began MFP):…

Need help creating group
Goodness, I know this shouldn't be so hard. I've created a new group, but cannot seem to invite anyone. When I type a username in the "invite" field, nothing comes up. It just starts over blank as before. Sorry to be such a dimwit, friends! If anyone can figure this out, could you please advise me, or start a new group for…
