I'm a former Fitbit user. Love FBs but have a knack for losing them and didn't replace the last one. Today I got a Basis Peak but the community of users doesn't seem anywhere near as large as FitBit. …
I was thinking about snacking strategies in the store today. I try to opt for healthy snacks like fruit, yogurt, nuts, etc., but I let myself have some of the decadent stuff, like Oreos or a chocolate…
I thought it might be fun to find out what everyone collects and if there are any unusual collections our there. As my avatar implies, I collect comedy/tragedy masks. They were popular in my mid-centu…
I enjoy watching my friends feed and find it very motivating, but I'd love to take things to a more personal level. If anyone is interesting in emailing (via MFP messaging) a couple of times a week fo…
I've had my Basis Peak for a week and a half now, so I wanted to share a quick review for those who might be considering it for Christmas. This is coming from a former Fitbit user who loved her FBs bu…
The New Year is less than a week away, and people with a case of the post-holiday guilts for indulging in all those tempting goodies, or those looking for a reason to finally take the fitness goal plu…
I plan to start C25K within the next week or two (building myself up with brisk walks), but all the programs are 8 to 9 weeks and as a chubby, out of shape mid-century model with a finicky knee, I kno…
I'm planning to get Piyo as a supplement to C25K. The jogging will be enough impact for my old legs, so it looks like Piyo will work me out without further battering my joints. Is that accurate? I fou…
I was at the grocery store the other day and "100 Years to Live" by Five for Fighting came on the Muzak. I'd forgotten just what a sad song that is, especially if you're pushing the mid-century mark l…
I know it's a diverse group here, and I'm curious to see if there are other teachers. I teach undergrad psychology myself, but with a twist: I teach online. I started out as an adjunct and now do it f…
I love all the great support here, and I've found many kindred souls. I know there are others here in my age group struggling to get rid of that dreaded middle age weight gain, but how about ladies go…
This is a question for the vintage models here at MFP. At what age did your hair start to gray? And when did the gray finally take over? I'm curious as I head toward my 50th birthday in a couple of mo…
After two days of confusion over getting the corporate rate, I'm finally officially a health club member. I have to go at least 48 times by Dec. 31 to get reimbursement from my insurance company, whic…
I'm hoping avid swimmers here can solve a mystery for me, as I'm not finding much information online. I do water jogging regularly in the health club lap pool, and the other day I noticed that the swi…
I found threads on most Les Mills classes, but almost nothing on BodyFlow. The online info says it burns more then 300 calories, which made me skeptical, but I took the class today and was dripping wi…
After being sedentary due to a crazy work schedule for two years, I now have a stable job and am back on track. My main excuse for not exercising before was, "I'm too busy, I'll do it later," which mo…
Having totally slacked off with exercise over the past couple of years, having to walk my dog is probably the only thing that's kept me doing a bit of regular exercise and not ending up with even more…
My new insurance will reimburse me $200 per year for health club membership, provided I go at least once a week, so I'm using this as motivation to get off my butt and out to a club. Now I have to dec…
I already dove in with a question about health clubs, so I should probably introduce myself. I found this forum when I was searching for information on clubs and just love all the other information an…
