    It's my Friday! For those of us who work for the gov't, and live in the US, we can leverage the two holidays -- Lincoln's Birthday tomorrow, and President's Day Monday - into a 5 day stretch by taking Friday off.

    Enjoy!

    No workout today. Just jammed up at work. And, I did Monday-Tuesday back-to-back, so I am "okay" if I don't workout today.

    BOOM!

    Hi!
    Love to join this group! Just turned 40 in December! Lost 25 already and on to my next 25. I am looking to do a half marathon in October of this year and will need running tips. I am a very active cyclist and have done several centuries (even at this heavy weight). Looking forward to all kinds of information!!

    Hello, I would like to join this group also. I am a 46 year old woman who lives in central Maine. I started back on MFP Jan 5th and have lost 11 lbs so far. I try to do 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. (I am hoping my endurance will get better and I can do longer) I am doing well logging my food and making much better food choices. Tonight my hubby and son had leftover pizza my daughter brought home and I made me broiled tilapia and leftover long grain rice, and sauted broccoli, zucchini and yellow squash. It was very good and I am full and satisfied and happy I didn't eat the pizza. I have a 19 year old daughter and a 14 year old son, have been happily married for 25 years. I have been quilting for 20 years as a major hobby and do long arm quilting for a few customers. Other than that I am a stay at home mom. Happy to find some people my age. Oh, I have about 30-40 lbs left to loose. Depending on how I feel and look, and when my belly finally leaves me.......

    Hi Everyone and good morning. You are all inspiring with your workouts. When I build up my energy again I may do another round of insanity, it really worked for me.
    Syli

    I agree that doing anything is GREAT! The only reason I'm adding the cardio in is because of the inspiration here. And I think I needed time to build my mental energy even more than my physical energy. So, build yours up and I'll cheer! Go, Syli!

    I'm in! I'm 47, I've lost 70 lbs and want to lose another 40 in a sane safe process. I'm about 5 weeks into MFP, and so far it is working well for me.

    hi all,

    would love to join you guys!! I am a 45 year old woman who has about 20lbs to lose. I am at an all time high for me of 155lbs. I am 5'6 and really comfortable between 130-135. I, like many of you, have a sweet tooth. I try to have something sweet so I don't binge. I workout everyday and have cut back to about an hour a day as more working out did not seem to help with the weight gain. I think the more I worked out, the more I thought I could eat. I just read this great book called one one one diet. it made so much sense and changed the way I looked at what I was eating. the premise of the book is 3 meals and 2 snacks, you should have a protein, carb and fat for each. I am looking for balance in my life at this point, no extremes. I want to feel good. look good and be healthy. not concerned with being super skinny anymore. please look at my diary and let me know your thoughts. I tend to eat the same thing most days. also, I own a cookie company which makes things challenging as I always have cookies in the house....looking forward to joing you guys!

    I went to Dollerama and picked up some new video DVDs - I was pretty excited to try the new Firm Cardio Dance, but only made it to 40 minutes before I was done in but finished up with some cool-down and stretching, which took it to 60 minutes. I like lots of variety and I'm trying to really commit to daily exercise. Unfortunately, my hip is really sore today and I'm not sure if it's muscle, tendon or joint... :(

    Margie and I went out to eat after she got off work. Since the restaurant is right next to the walking path {rails to trails} we took a nice 25 minute walk before we ate. {this is just a couple of blocks off Blountstown's main drag.

    MY 1st goal was achieved today...down 10 lbs. My thought is 10 lbs at a time...small steps. In the big picture, I need to do this 7 more times to reach my final goal in weight loss and healthier living. MFP is a great tool..gotta love it!!

    Good Morning.

    Beeps, in a few months when I'm in the garden and it's 95F with 95% humidity our roles will be reversed.

    Alf, nice flowers.

    Malbala, nice loss.

    My bad back reared it's ugly head this morning while I was lifting. I still have to set out 120 chairs for tonight's event, so I'm taking it easy until I go to work. Margie took the day off and is playing with/learning to use her new sewing machine. So maybe I will not reap the day off lunch like I usually do. Since I didn't do my full workout, I skipped the lifting day omelette today.

    Hope everyone is having a good day,

    Larro
