Tampa Bar, FL Friends
Hey There! I currently live in the Tampa Bay, FL area and am looking for some friends to hang out with in real life (vs. online). I've been on this weight loss/get fit journey for over a year now, but keep getting stalled. During the periods of time that I am dedicated to weight loss and getting physically fit, I usually…

Meniscus Tear anyone?
Hey There, I have a meniscus tear in my left knee. I've had it for a couple of years now and originally opted not to get it repaired/scoped, thought I'd just live with the pain. I've been going to the gym for over a year now and am now getting bored with doing the same ol' cardio all the time. A couple of weeks ago, I…

Gym NSV
Last night at the gym, after my strength training session, I jumped on the treadmill. This guy walked by that I have seen a 100 times in there and we usually just say 'Hi' to each other, just being friendly. Last night, however, he came over to me and asked me my name, then said: "I can really see a difference in you since…

FitBit & Android
Hi everyone! I'm wondering if anyone can clarify something for me. I'm thinking about getting the FitBit One when it is released, however, I see that it only has an IPhone app. I have an android phone. Can I still get a fitbit account to talk to my MFP account without an IPhone? Thanks!

What does 'troll' or 'trollin' mean?
I see people use this term on these message boards, but I'm not sure what it means. Can someone explain?

Nice NSV on a Friday :-)
I started a new job just over 3 months ago. The new job gives you a company tshirt upon hire. I couldn't wear mine because it was just too tight and exposed the belly roll: not attractive! I have been very reluctant to try the shirt on again since for fear of it making me even more depressed by not fitting after all my…

Was dragging last night at the gym
Does anyone ever have days at the gym where you just don't feel like you can even complete your regular workout? Last night was an upper body workout for me, which is usually one of my favs to do, but for whatever reason I could not stop yawning and my body felt like it weighed a ton, it was so hard to just move! I got…

Finally, the scale moves
So, some of you may know that I was very discouraged last week by the scale and my body fat percentage not changing very much. I decided to take this weekend off of the gym and allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted yesterday (first time in over a month that I really strayed off track). This morning I weighed 4.4 less!!!…

Really need some encouraging words :-(
So, I am very discouraged and feel pretty defeated in the weight loss/get healthy arena. My trainer weighed me last night and according to their scale I haven't lost a pound, but I don't actually mind that because it was at the end of the day and I had just eaten supper. What does bother me is that according to the body…

Getting frustrated and discouraged
Good morning, I posted this yesterday, but did not get many responses. I feel like I should have lost much more weight than I have based on the amount of working out I am doing. Below is a slightly edited version of my post from yesterday; if anyone has any insight or words of encouragement I would greatly appreciate it.…

Daily Goals
I just noticed that when my daily goals change for caloires, carbs, etc. it goes back and changes the daily goals on all my past daily food tracking. This doesn't make sense to me. As you lose weight, your goals go down, so I think it should keep your goals at what they were for that day when you tracked it. Now, when I go…

Progress....
So yesterday, I went over my calories, BUT there is actually a silver lining there. I had some drinks at happy hour, which would normally end with a trip to a drive thru, but instead I went home and had a lower sodium ham sandwhich for supper!! Yay! I went over by 300 cals, but I tracked it all and ate a low cal supper, so…
