Looking for motivational friends
Hi Everyone! I'm Trish. I will be 30 this month. I have lost 58 lbs, and I still have 60 to go. I had originally lost 80lbs, but I hit a huge rut and gained a lot back. I am back in the game and going stronger than ever. I'm in it to win it, and I'm looking for encouraging friends to both support and be supported by. I am…

Heart Rate Monitor
I'm interested in buying a heart rate monitor, but I'm lost among all the options. I want something that isn't bulky, shows calories burned and heart rate, and won't get in my way or fall off during a workout. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good monitor that also won't break the bank? Thanks in advance!

Foam rolling or maybe not
I am new to strength training, or any consecutive exercise at all (previous lazy monster and chronic excuse maker), so I am experiencing quite a lot of muscle aches after weights and leg workouts. I can handle the pain, but I don't want it to prevent me from giving my all at the next session. I have heard/read quite a bit…

I have the will - need to find the way.
This is my first day using MFP, but certainly not my first time attempt to lose weight. I have tried all sorts of ways to get thinner (healthy and not so much), but this time is different. I no longer want to be thin. I will be 30 in Feburary, and I want to be strong. I want to wake up with energy. I want to be free of all…
