February, 2I don't always shower after working out. Also, sometimes I pick the selection with the lowest calories if I don't feel like searching through the database to find out what I'm really eating. Oh, and according to MFP, I consume WAY too much sodium, but I don't really care because I LOVE salty foods. Oh and Dr. Pepper. It's my guilty pleasure.
Of COURSE my first post mentions Dr. Pepper. My one true love.

I confess I'm a little nervous today, I'm starting a swimming routine to replace my gym routine and I'm afraid I'm going to go to the pool and stand out as the worst swimmer there, as I can't put my face in the water so I'm not very "professional" at the swimming thing.
Don't worry what everyone else is doing, just focus on you! I love swimming and my face never goes in the water either as I need to wear my glasses!0 -

And then went back into the kitchen to bake a pan of brownies. I don't know who's going to save me from them.
I think this is Susie's first quote. She needs to be in on this.
ETA: Susie's was 2/2. Her anniversary is Tuesday.0 -
So I have a random one. Is anyone else bothered by the fact a lot of the mobile ads we get served while on this platform are for weight loss programs or pills, etc. Doesn't that seem kind of counter to the whole myfitnesspal 'program' if you will. It's not a confession but figured I would serve it up here...
So I think this is my first post. I guess I didn't wait that long... Feb. 9th.0 -
I have way too many trigger foods to mention here. I don't have my diary public mostly because I don't want to publicly admit when I am over my counts. I cannot leave things like pizza, Nutella or donuts nearby without eating them. I could eat pizza everyday but I don't like veggie pizza. So will order thin crust to cut back on some of the calories.
My first post here- Feb. 2, 2015.....
you are the same anniversary as Susie!0 -

I believe this is my first post? March 22nd
Going back and looking through the thread it's really amazing how many of us are still here! I do miss people like @BZAH10 and @Francl27
ETA- and I don't mean still on MFP as in still here since so many people log for years but I mean still on the same thread and still friends
Agreed! I see @BZAH10 and @Francl27 in other threads. So they're still around.
BZAH10 was one of my favorites.
I tried to get @BZAH10 back a few times. I guess we just overwhelmed her.0 -

I hang my head in shame
On a more positive note- congratulations on making a year (very nearly)of this thread!
No judgment, but please don't do it again. :-) Go find some Fresh Prince of BelAir on Netflix instead...it's still funny.
Not a bad idea - I love the Fresh Prince I'm gonna try my best not to let it happen again - too much pain both physically & mentally!
You folk are all so lovely with the non judgement stuff aren't you? It's rare to see on internet forums. No wonder you've managed to keep this going
On the positive side - made myself go home and do insanity on my lunch break. Feel like dying now but also pleased I did it instead of wallowing in failure.
Nice! I have a serious love/hate relationship with ShaunT.
I am still trying to do that insanity workout. its only 30 minutes a day! Why can't I get it started! GRRR Maybe I'll add that to our countdowns, Quik.0 -

Oh, and don't worry about swimming. I felt the same way when I started back training for triathlon. Just put you head in the water and take it slow. You'll be fine.0 -

Well, I just started swimming so... and I'm not allowed to run, the swimming to to replace the missing weight training and the running. but if I had a racing bike, I would be game.
Is it just me, or is that kid the same guy who played Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings?kelly_c_77 wrote: »I confess I'm a little nervous today, I'm starting a swimming routine to replace my gym routine and I'm afraid I'm going to go to the pool and stand out as the worst swimmer there, as I can't put my face in the water so I'm not very "professional" at the swimming thing.
You are starting something new. It is ok to be less than perfect and to make mistakes. Good luck.
I didn't drown, so it was a win. And I really enjoyed myself. Definitely will be going back.0 -

I started regular swimming last March after a pause of ... 35 years? Something like that. I couldn't make a 25 yard lap without stopping.
Nobody cares what you look like. Everyone's there to do their workout. You'll get better with practice. Set small goals and you'll see improvement very quickly.
I recommend getting some coaching or joining a swim class if that's not on your radar. You'll have a lot more fun and get to your goals more quickly as your stroke improves. And yes, you'll have to get your face in the water 0 -

The only classes offered around here are for kids. I'm not looking to become a competitive swimmer, but who knows. I was at the pool today with a bunch of seniors, who were all better than me. I decided I didn't care what I looked like and just did it.

Confession
I don't know what got into me. I sort of (ok I actually) agreed to ride Cycle Oregon with my SO next year. "With" means he'll ride it at his pace and I'll ride it at my pace and we'll be together when not riding. "With" means if there is a harder route he'll take it and if there is an easier route I'll take it. I'm not quite sure how I agreed to this. I have not done a trip like this since I was 15 years old...
This is awesome!!! I live in the Pacific NW and have always wanted to do Cycle Oregon, but lacked the funds, the endurance, or the vacation time to give it a try.
I've been lurking this thread for awhile now and have enjoyed the support, kindness, and honesty on display here. :-)
Confession - This is my first post ever on this site. I'm somewhat antisocial - I don't really seek out lots of friends or acquaintances, preferring my few close friends/family to having lots of surface-type relationships with others. So my only friends on MFP are people I actually know IRL. That's not a very good confession. Hmmmm... I love ice cream to the point that if I buy it, I will eat it. All of it. Now.
I'm lucky to have a wonderfully supportive husband and family as I work to get fit again.
Lastly - My profile pic is about 9 years old. Being in shape again like that is where I'd like to be again. It is my inspiration for doing all the work it takes to get from where I am now to where I'd like to be.
Ha! My first post is from June 2015... see, I am SUCH a latecomer!
I love that it was in response to @nonoelmo AND that I'd forgotten she'll be in OR this summer for the cycling!! I'm gonna have to track you down, my friend, and meet up with you!!0
