Power 90 Pals
Hi All, Tomorrow is day three of the Power 90 program for me. I like it so far and I thought I'd check to see if anyone else is doing this program and create a place for people to compare notes and share successes. Good luck!

Starting over - what will you do differently this time?
Hi all, Due to work and life stress, I set aside most of my healthy behaviors back in September. I got on the scale and took my routine measurements for the first time in 4 months last Thursday and was very unhappy with what I saw. So, it's time to start again. This time, I have very specific, non-weight related goals -…

First Line Therapy Program
Hi All, Anyone here on or heard of the First Line Therapy program? It's used to treat insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome/syndrome X. My Dr. suggested it as a model to follow and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the plan. Thanks!

Two Milestones
Hey all, Just had to share. This week I broke through the 250 barrier - I've lost 34 pounds in roughly 4 months. I have a ways to go, but this is a big milestone for me! Then this morning, I tried on a pair of size 40" pants that I've been using to test my progress. They fit! I was skeptical, so I tried on three other…

Anyone up for an 8 week challenge?
Hey MFPers, I'm looking for a little extra motivation to stick with the good eating and exercise habits I started back at the beginning of March - so long ago, I know! :wink: So, I propose an 8 week challenge of sorts. I suspect many of us here at MFP have experience with yo-yo dieting and following every fad diet out…

Martial Artists - What's changed for you?
Alright all you martial artists out there - I don't care if you study tai chi, practice MMA, play judo, or whatever else you do. I want to hear how MFP and losing weight in general have changed your martial arts practice. I am a brown belt (san kyu) in aikido. I have noticed a big difference in my ukemi (rolls) and in my…

How did YOU determine your ideal weight?
Hi All, The BMI charts are ridiculous when it comes to what I should weigh - I am 255 and "should" weigh 165ish - which I haven't weighed since middle school. So how did you all set your goal weight? Did you go get body composition testing, did you pick at random, did you go by past experience? Did you bother to pick a…

Flag football
Hi All, I just started playing in a flag football league tonight. We got totally outclassed in our first two games. :explode: Anyone happen to have a playbook or strategies for four on four flag football that they'd like to share? I know this is a long shot, but I thought I'd try! :happy: Thanks, Chris

Seeking Opinions: Am I exercising too much?
Hi All, I feel like I've really hit my stride managing my food intake with MFP and in increasing my exercise, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm exercising too much. I've been working out to varying degrees seven days most weeks. My "work outs" include aikido classes, C25K (I finished Wk 3 D 2 this morning), walking on the…

The Exerciser's Dilemma
I originally posted this to my blog http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/gale_c/view/an-exerciser-s-manifesto-25523 but am reposting here to see if I can generate more interest - I'm interested in what you all have to say! :smile: I'm a big fan of Michael Pollan's book In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. The book centers…

Sodium and Sugar too high
Hi All, Is anyone else having difficulty meeting their sodium and sugar targets? I know I need to cut the small amount of processed foods I'm eating - largely out of convenience - and I'm sure that will help with sodium. I was surprised to see how little sugar (44g) I should include in my meals. I eat a Kind bar an apple…

Hi All
My name is Chris and I've been using MFP for a few weeks. I love the website and the iPhone app. I've tried keeping a food journal before and I find MFP a whole lot easier! I've already lost my first ten pounds - I lose the first ten rapidly, the rest will come more slowly - and I feel incredibly motivated. My wife and I…
