For us K-drama fans!
Marney: I think that right now both Pam and I would recommend Oh, My Venus! It is about overweight. Training. Romance. A little mystery. And the two leads have wonderful chemistry. It is 16 episodes (I forget). Here is the page on drama fever and there is a cute trailer. http://www.dramafever.com/drama/4766/Oh_My_Venus/ A…

Links to Articles, Blogs, and Studies!
If you read an interesting article, blog or study share the link here in our library. We can use a wide variety of topics on weight loss, maintenance, fitness, health, getting older, etc. I'll start with a few I have bookmarked:

250 Steps an Hour Challenge
I have set a 10-hour challenge for myself. I think 10 hours makes a nice, round 2500 steps. I set mine between 7 a.m and 5 p.m. as I work 7:30 to 4:30. Set your 10 consecutive hours for whatever times you want. Set an alarm if you have to. Walk in place if you want! Track them and see how many times you do it in a 10-hour…

Healthy Mind as well as a Healthy Body
I'm starting this new thread. In 2014, I started with MFP to lose weight and get healthier. Although I'm not at my goal, I've done pretty well. I continued this in 2015 by resolving to take the stairs more often and will continue to do so. 2016 will be to incorporate strength training more often if it kills me! In 2015, my…

Really struggling! Any ideas?
Okay, here is the problem. For 14 months, I will admit, I've had my ups and downs like everyone, but it hasn't be "hard." 1200 calories a day with planning has been very doable. Now that I'm getting so much closer to my goal, it is even more imperative to stick to 1200 because we shorties don't have a lot of calories left…

BMI - Where did you (or where do you plan to) stop?
My question is mostly to all you successful people who are on maintenance. How did you decide to stop? What is the BMI you finally chose? I am also interested though to know how you who aren't there are deciding! I went to my family doctor today and he was thrilled with my weight loss. I began this journey at 45 BMI or 238…

Second Half of Challenge
We are now in the second half of the challenge. Many are losing weight although most of us not as fast as we would have liked! That's okay. We are getting stronger, healthier, smaller, and, I hope, happier with our new lifestyles. Most of all, we are still here! What will you do differently this second half than the first?…

In five days, we will be half-way through challenge
We are 40 days into the challenge; almost half-way. How many are still here?

Water Weight Gain
I often see posts about sudden, overnight weight gains and these concerns are usually pooh-poohed as "it is just water weight!" That is probably true and it is probably just a random happening from too much salt, hormones, or even insufficient water intake. It should be mentioned though that chronic water retention or…

Rewards?
Although I want to lose a total of 100 pounds, I thought I would break it down into 15 lb. goals and give myself a reward as I reach each one. I thought a massage might be nice when I hit the first 15 lb. loss. If you are planning a reward, or have given yourself rewards, what were they?
