40 Pounds to Lose- Seeking Girlfriends for Support
Hi! I lost 40 pounds back in 2011-2012 using this app to help ensure a calorie deficit. Over the past few years, I gained it back and then some. I've been focused on changing my lifestyle since mid-August and am 17 pounds down (still about 40 to go). When I lost the weight initially, the support from the MFP community was…

Every time I crouch down to pick something up, *crack,* every time I bend over *crack*. It's usually my hips and knees. I don't know if it has anything to do with me growing up as a competitive dancer for about…

Ladies- Cramps After Jogging?
Hi Ladies! I was wondering if anyone has had or is having a similar experience to me. I started jogging 2 and a half months ago. Although now and then I'll jog for 20-30 minutes, I've been timing my mile and trying to get the time down. But as soon as I hit that mile and start walking, I have an intense pain. This doesn't…

Eating Clean?
Hey there! I hope this message finds everyone well! About three months ago I cut meat out of my diet except for fish and seafood. I plan to cut that out as well but figured it would be easier and more realistic for me to accomplish this if I taper off rather than doing a clean cut. My question is, since I've been cutting…

These last 20 pounds!!
So I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble as they near their weight loss goal. I started at 186, went down to 146, but am now averaging 150 (post holidays, hehe). I've been stuck at the 146-150 stage for months now. It's been so much more difficult trying to drop these last 20 pounds (I'd like to get to 130). I…

NSV- Wedding Outfit
My boyfriend's sister got married yesterday and before the wedding I decided to go through a bunch of my dresses to decide what to wear. Had to get rid of a couple of them because they were way too big! :) One of them was hanging off of me, and then I decided to check the size... and I realized, no wonder! It was a size 13…

Arc Trainer?
Hi guys! I always see this cardio machine at the gym and don't know what it is. It looks similar to an elliptical. I looked it up and I'm thinking it may be an arc trainer? Can someone shed some light on the differences between this and an elliptical and what they prefer? Thanks!

Calorie Tracker
Hi All.... Was wondering if anyone can recommend a good tool (something to attach to myself, or a watch of some sort) like a pedometer but for calories burned? I use the elliptical often and rely on what the machine says, but I also take a spin class and would like to be able to know how many calories I burn in the class.…
