walking buddies in North Phoenix?
Back at MFP as of yesterday, after a long hiatus and gaining back 33 of the 40 pounds I had lost a couple of years ago with this awesome community. My long term goal is to lose 70 lbs. Just turned 47, self-employed (= crazy schedule but free to walk early mornings & most evenings). Looking for walkers/friends near Dove…

stylish ONE-DERLAND shopping, really!?!?!
This past Saturday, I hit ONE-DERLAND. It was an unbelievable feeling, one of awe, really. It has been over twenty years since the number on the scale started with a "1" and not a "2"... There was some nagging disbelief that this was even possible and the scale was lying... until this evening... I had promised myself a…

365 days logging on MFP, -40lb, half way to goal (pic)
I've done so much logging, I could have built a house by now HA! Funny, thought I would have been at minus 80 when I started with MFP a year ago. I had lost a few before finding beloved MFP :love: My, what we learn. Anyhow, I will celebrate the 40 pounds gone and keep on keepin' on... 43 y/o 5'8" The logging has really…

5-HTP... experiences?
Tried 5-htp today and felt slightly stoned all day (didn't even drive anywhere)... it's a natural supplement that is supposed to help with stress/anxiety and curbing appetite (tom on the way), but by the evening, I had the munchies lol! ordered pizza delivery (have not done that in months)... no bueno, at least thankful it…

240-ish to 210-ish 5'8" woman
So, I won't bore you with the details upfront. Just know that I am posting this for myself as well as others. I have had sooo much inspiration from the success stories... thank you all!! Lately, though, I've hit a rough patch and needed to see some of the progress myself. Wow! was I surprised! If I can help others too,…

Ladies: Younger men?
So just got in from a night out with friends and this young stud (maybe ten years my junior) was just all chatty and laughy with me. After the evening ended and I arrived home, it dawned on me... could he have actually been hitting on me? Now he was just as cute and hunky as could be, but even if I had realized this while…

Men : dating older women?
Since we had some fun on the reverse side of this question, and many inquiring minds would like to know... So men, do you date older women? If so, why? And what is your age limit? Do tell!

Using pedometer on phone?
Recently, I downloaded a free trial version of Accupedo to my Droid2. I want to get up to 10,000 steps per day, as the health pros recommend. Figured since my phone is always with me, I'd give it a try. I am still fiddling with the settings. Seems to depend on the activity & where the phone is on me. For example, when I…

home sick - remedies?
(posting this again with complete topic header) Home sick today :( Been fending off a work bug for about a week now. This morning, throat so sore can barely speak, along with a nice helping of fever & chills. Spent the morning trying to convince the cat to bring me a glass of juice. Nope. Typical feline response ;-) Hope…

to reveal or not to reveal...
Funny thought popped into my head moments ago... For the first time since joining MFP in July, I actually considered revising my ticker to reflect my goal progress and not weight progress. Ya know, where it shows how much I weigh in real life - eek! Yes, I know we are all here for the same purpose, but advertising my…

playing with fire... or just MFP goals/cals
I have this theory of too many options in life not necessarily being a good thing. For me, it can lead to indecision and excess. (Dating, for example ;-) Anyway, reflecting on my last two weeks of difficulty staying under calories, I had changed my plan. My intention was to decrease guilt associated with holiday…

for ladies with eating issues during that T.O.M...
Does anyone adjust MFP caloric intake during that time when you want to eat everything in sight? I'm not saying it's "gaming the system".. just seems it could be a reasonable allowance with weight retention and an uphill battle for a week. Believe me, I'm in this to lose. Yet, I could live with adjusting my goals from 1.5…

for morning exercise slackers like me... the benefits of "lo
So, I have been increasing my water intake just as good form. This morning at 4:20am, I have to pee (sorry TMI for you squeamish readers), and this is not like an "I will just roll over and ignore it" urge. So, I get up and go. Problem is, now I seem to be wide awake. Very unusual for me. So, I lay in bed thinking, now…

NSV - on an airplane
Returned from vacation mere hours ago, and I have to say it was an amazing feeling to not be "oozing" into my neighbor's seat on flights. Ya know, when those flabby hip/thigh saddlebags are squishing against a complete stranger, ugh! I had not expected this change and had mentally prepared for the worst, as I have only…

avoiding self-sabatoge on break-up night
I am not looking for pity party, just like-mindedness... tonight had a 5 yrs of on/off again relationship dumped down the drain... feeling very sad (as tears drench the keyboard) yet i know it is a good thing... really wanting to jump into the vodka bottle on a saturday night and blow up my cals to make the heartache go…

...still messing with my calories & goals... seems last week didn't have enough, now this week too many to eat/drink too much... another adjustment in order! now that i have my normal schedule back, i like the idea of exercising to "earn" any bonus calories :) how do you make this work for you?
