Apple Watch vs. FitBit
I've been a FitBit person for well over 3 years now. But I'm kind of tired of the device its self. The bands don't last long, there aren't a ton of options, I'm kind of tired of how it looks in general. I do love, however, how well it tracks heart rate, sleep, and exercise. And I love the FitBit app. I love all the…

Sweating for the wedding! (Actually, more like the marriage.)
Hi MFP! I am Allie, 28 years old from Los Angeles, CA. I have been on MFP a long time (1011 days today). During that time, I managed to lose 100lbs (yay) and then gain about half back (boo). I could blame it on a lot of things... Recovering from surgery, moving in with my boyfriend, defending my dissertation/getting my…

Hey guys!! I'm a pretty avid West coast SoulCycler, and I'm always on the hunt for SoulCycle friends that use MFP... But I haven't found any! So now, I'm looking in reverse. Any MFP users who also love to tap it back? Haha.

Down 84lbs in 365 days. If you know me based on who I was a year ago, you don't know me at all.
"If you know me based on who I was a year ago, you don't know me at all. My growth game is strong. Allow me to reintroduce myself." (I read that on a fitspiration Pinterest board last week and loved it.) I'm posting this in hope that someone would read it and decide to start or keep going on the hard days. I've been…

UP2 vs. UP24 step counts for spinning/cycling?
Hey everyone! I used to have an UP24, which broke. Jawbone decided to replace it with an UP2 instead of another UP24 (not sure how I feel about it). Only problem I've found so far is that the "steps" I usually get during spin class (I'm an avid spinner, so getting that workout to count towards my steps is important to me),…

Breathing Tips?
Hi guys, I've been working out consistently for the last month. 2-3 days of intense cardio (cardio kickboxing and SoulCycle), 2-3 days of light cardio (walks mostly), 4 days of strength training. I've finally hit a place where I feel good about the exercise, and I don't feel like throwing up anymore (yay!). But the problem…
