Fizz Stick Replacement
Hi all, this is NOT an MLM add before anyone gets excited! I’m sure many of you know about Arbonne’s Fizz Sticks, they’re like a water supplement/enhancer with citric acid (the fizz), flavourings, and some caffeine. Back when I was weak-spined and didn’t say no to my poor brainwashed MLM selling friend, I used to enjoy…

The Slow Creep
Hi all, in 2020 I lost ~40 lbs logging food and through regular exercise. Well, I’m happy to say I’ve maintained the regular exercise which has been great for my mental health and body (and heart too I guess), but I’ve slacked off the logging. I’ve gained almost 10lbs since logging regularly (since about Oct ‘21). I’m sure…

Daily Logging…more like Slogging
Hey Pals! I had a great June 2020 - June 2021 where I logged daily and worked out 5x a week. I lost 40lbs, and am about 10lbs from my goal weight (F; 33; 5’5; CW:150). Since July 2021 I’ve started to feel almost resentful of logging. I’ve let my daily logging slip, and have been in a plateau for about 4-3 months. I’m also…

Hey There!
Hi, in my early 30s (for now) and been on MFP for almost a year (well this time round) and was checking out the groups and thought, why not join one!? I've still got about 20ish pounds to go till I reach my goal weight but I am trying to focus more on how I feel in my clothes than what the scale says. I'd really like to…

Hiking Questions
I’m getting antsy in the never ending polar vortex and pandemic isolation and am planning hikes I’d like to take. I’m using All Trails and I’ve always wondered when it says “12km out and back trail” does that mean it’s 12km total or 12km one way making it a total of 24km? Second question while I have your attention. I’m in…

Ninja Products
I got a coupon for Ninja Blender products and was wondering A) if they’re worth it B ) which product has the most favourable reviews. I’m wondering if it’s worth it to spend a bit more and get the all-in-one kit that has the blender and processor (I currently have a Cuisine Art blender, no processor) or if the blender does…

Mealime App
Does anyone use the Mealime App for meal planning/eating? I just subscribed to the yearly service which gives you access to the nutritional information and some other stuff. It was only $70 for the year so I am hoping it's worth it. I have found some amazing meals on it, which is what lead me to buy the subscription. Just…

Hit me up with video recommendations etc. Save me the time of sifting through the bad ones ☺️. What’s your favourite move? What do you find effective?…

Uneven Quads
I’ve found myself in a situation I’ve never been in before. My quad muscles are uneven! My left quad is about 1/2 inch bigger than my right. My partner says he doesn’t notice, but all my siblings (3) have pointed out the bigger one without hesitation, he’s just trying to be nice... I’m not body building to look buff per…

Curly Hair and Working Out
Hiya fellow curlies - question for you all, what do you do with your hair when working out? I'm anywhere between a 3a to 3c depending on the weather, my wash day, the product used, how I'm feeling, etc. Usually, I throw it in a pony (I sleep with it a pineapple but only recently has it been long enough to grab the back…

Firmware update
Hi! I got a Charge 4 yesterday and when I was setting it up, it said I needed to update the tracker. It simply won’t update! I’ve restarted the tracker twice, and my phone. I’ve disconnected the tracker and reconnected it all to no avail. Any tips?

What next?
Hi all, I am looking for exercise advice. In a week and a half I will finish Fitness Blender's FB30 Program! It's an 8 week program with 5 days of 30 min exercise (mostly HIIT and weight lifting mix) and an optional 6th day of low impact workout. Then in August I plan to start their plan for People who get Bored Easy…

Chard Recipes
I got my first CSA (crop share agreement) from a local farm last night (yay!) and one of the veggies it has in is chard. I’ve never cooked with chard before. Anyone have some recipe suggestions for cooking with chard? I have no food allergies, try to avoid eating meat but am not a vegetarian.

Supine Push Up
Okay, all the exercise pros out there - can you please help me understand these? I feel like I'm just laying on my back and straining my neck. I usually just follow FitnessBlender videos, but this move has stumped me. Any tips on modifications for these? Thanks in advance!

Who remembers. . .
Hi! Does anyone remember a site called fitnesstv.tv (or something similar to that)? I think it would have been popular around 2008-2010 sometime. (I am in denial that that stage of my life is over 10 years ago!). I'm trying to remember when I first started working out with FitnessBlender. I remember finding FitnessBlender…

Orangetheory Transformation Challenge 2019
Hey! Anyone here doing the OTF Transformation Challenge? This is my first time and I’m using it as a motivator to get in shape and improve my health. Winning the prize wouldn’t be so bad though... I had my initial weigh in Thursday, Jan 17 and from watching what I eat and logging I’ve lost 4 lbs in a week! Tbh: it’s…

Orange Theory Heart Monitor.
Hi! I’ve been going to Orange Theory for the past two weeks and I really like it. I like that you can use the heart monitor outside of the studio. I’ve done a few home workouts with it and I’m just wondering how accurate it is. It’s grossly higher than what my Fitbit Alta HR tells me, but I’ve always felt the Alta HR is a…

Rock Climbing
I do not enjoy running, and so am always looking for new activities for exercise. Lately I’ve been thinking of trying rock climbing (indoors). I went rocking climbing once over half a life time ago (I was 12, now I’m 30!) so I have NO experience. I think I would enjoy it not only for the physical challenge but for the…

Working out in the Heat
Hi! I’ve been away from the MFP forum for some time but as it gets warmer and warmer every day I need some tips! Any tips for working out in the heat? I’m a big wussy and complain about anything warmer than 25 C degrees (77 F). 21 C is my ideal temp (69/70 F) so I try to wake up before the heat hits, but that doesn’t…

Public Diary Newbie
Hi! I’ve used MFP off and on for about 6 years (!!) and only discovered the community about 3 years ago. I’ve been a hard core mostly creeper B) since. Now I’ve learned I absolutely need accountability. When I am faithful in tracking my calories and exercise MFP works (or rather I’m conscious of CICO). That being said,…

Fitbit Syncs
My apologies if this has already been asked multiple times or if this forum is completed the wrong to be in. I wasn't quite sure where to ask my question. Here it goes... I have a Fitbit Flex that syncs with MFP. I am concerned that because the steps and activity tracked on my Fitbit count as "extra" calories if you will,…

Meal Prep
How and when do you do it? It is just my husband and I, so I only prep for two. I try to do it on Sunday. Go shopping in the afternoon and prep after that. I cut up veggie and fruit for work snacks and put them in ziploc bags (I'm hoping to buy reusable bags off Etsy), and I try to make a higher protein "treat" to satisfy…

Office Workers Strong!
Office work leads to higher periods of inactivity and office work in December means periods of inactivity with lots of treats being brought in for the holiday season. Let's share our methods of saying no to those treats and trays of momentary deliciousness. I try to stay full of snacks from home (fruit and veggies),…

Amping it Up!
Hi all. I've been using Myfitnesspal off and on for a few years (only once with results I was happy with) but now I am back on it and trying to get fit and healthy and be excited about lifestyle where broccoli is greater than pizza! So if anyone knows the secret to that drop me a line, let's do this together!
