I'm not ashamed to say...I need friends!
Hi there, I'm not new to MFP but I did leave for a while. I'm back and ready to keep losing this weight! Here's the thing though, I could really use more friends so we can cheer eachother on. I think that'll help me stay motivated. I love to cook healthy meals and working out is becoming more and more satisfying and fun!…

Tae Bo question
Hi everyone! I have a question about calories burned while doing Tae Bo. I've used two different calculators including the one on MFP and they both say for 45 mins based on my weight that I would burn 644 calories! That number seemed so high I wanted to double check with others to see if that was possible to burn that much…

Breakfast smoothie
Hi everybody! I was just looking through the recipes and saw some good ideas so I thought I'd post one of my own. I made a fruit smoothie this morning (it's hot here right now so a cold smoothie was de-lightful) that actually kept me full for hours. Here's what I put in: 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup frozen…

I work retail as a dept manager. I'm on my feet 8 hours a day. Lifting boxes, climbing ladders, lots of walking. Can I count this as exercise the days that I work? If so what should I add it as? Any ideas would be appreciated!

I need some encouragement that this will really work!
Hi everyone! I just started this week and need some input from people who have been using this a while and had success just using this program. Not on Nutrisystem, Weight Watchers (not that both of them aren't great) or anything like that. Simply doing this by themselves without professional help. I'd like to use this…

Another Newbie
Hi everyone! I've struggled with my weight for the last 6 years or so. After getting married I quickly put on the pounds. Since getting married 8 years ago I've gained about 60lbs. :-( I've tried all kinds of fad diets with nothing working. I'm hoping this is the thing that will work for me. I'm so hindered by my weight in…
