Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

Wednesday Wish - to have a really successful month.
It was absolutely gorgeous here yesterday. I drove home from work with my roof open and windows cracked open. I was hoping Brian would be home when I got home because I was going to suggest going out for a walk. He wasn't so I decided to prep dinner and get that started. I don't know why I didn't just go by myself around the development when I got home. In hindsight I should have seized the opportunity.
Robin - thanks so much. That was really sweet of you to say. I am still a Gilad, workout at home kind of gal. But I am enjoying getting outside in the fresh air. Once I get a little bit better with running I want to start riding my bike too. I really liked Brian's suggestion of riding to the park on running days. I am the type of person though who has to focus on one thing at a time. So I won't be doing that any time soon.
One thing I certainly have learned during this process is anything is possible. I never imagined when starting this journey that my life and habits would change so much in a short period of time. When I think about it, it really blows my mind. I still have a long way to go until I reach my ultimate goals and my journey certainly isn't perfect. But I am pleased with my progress so far.
Ushkii- wahoo on the planting. You will like having cilantro. I love having fresh herbs for cooking. I still have a few pepper seeds (spicy ones) that I have to start. I plan on planting them this week. All the seeds I planted so far are growing very nicely! I can't wait to get outside and prep the garden.
Jenn - I know exactly what you mean when you say this group makes you realize you are not alone. I felt the exact same way when I first started out. While Brian is super supportive he cannot related like everyone in this thread can. This group is a true blessing.
Hansea - that stinks about the laptop. If it makes you feel better, I spilled coffee on mine this past weekend and shorted out the keyboard. Brian found a replacement one which I ordered. In the meantime he plugged in an external keyboard to see if the whole thing was fried. It seems like everything is working. Keeping my fingers crossed the new keyboard works when it arrives.
good choice about hiking to the gym!0 -
Sorry for 2 posts. I am on the tablet and the keyboard stopped responding. Here are the rest of the personals.
Kaye - Congrats on the loss.
Josie- sorry to hear you couldn't get into your gym. That certainly is frustrating. Hopefully you. Don't have that problem again.
RobinB- funny you said that about Fit it. I was wondering actually how this may change my stats. Even though I worked out 6 days a week and always wore Fit it I always felt my steps were low. Sounds like you had a fantastic workout with your son!
Tayna- I have difficulty with jumping jacks as well. Gilad has a section of them in one of his cardio routines and it exhausts me. I refer to that workout as the dreaded one. Though sticking with it I have gotten much better at it. It still exhausts me though. :grumble:
Laurie- I thought about that as well. I am going to shut off the other apps from running in the background to see if that helps. It was weird though because when I plugged it in the second time it showed at least 50% battery. Apple recently released an update so I downloaded that yesterday as well. I have not seen any updates from the app developers yet. I asked in the forums yesterday and someone else had the same problem as well.
Just think, testing is almost done. I am really glad I don't have to deal with the testing aspect with my students. I really don't envy you there.
skinny - thanks. That makes sense.
Rain-Sorry to hear your run was rough and you were not feeling well.
Cindy- welcome. I am an emotional ester too.0 -
Someone posted this in the forums. How fun! http://insaneinflatable5k.com/0

Hello,
I am looking to lose 100Ibs, I should say I NEED to lose 100Ibs and I am going to!!
Wondering if anyone can add me as a friend?
I am very motivated and looking for others in my situation.
I have lost over 60Ibs in the past but since having kids, etc (no excuses) I have gained it back plus!!
Have a great day everyone, stay motivated!!!0 -
@RobinB - I grew up south of you in Coral Gables. I too was born Pittsburgh, but moved south as a baby. I lived in Coral Gables until my senior year of HS when I moved to Charlotte NC. I've been here for almost 39 years. I loved growing up in FLA, but now can't imagine living without the change of seasons.
@hansea - Jealous on the sleep. I sometimes have issues with sleep and especially when the time changes. It messes me up for a good week or so in the Fall and the Spring.
@josie - Welcome! You've found a great place for support and inspiration.
@skinnyjeanz - Hope your headache is gone and you're feeling better. Your shoes are a veritable rainbow. I need some new lighter ones for the gym and I think I'll channel you and pick out some colorful ones.
@lauriek - Thanks for the perspective. I sometimes forget where I was just 9 months ago, how far I have come and how much better I feel.
@sinvand - I can relate to the emotional eating. I ate when I was bored or sad or tired or whenever I needed comfort. I can tell you that the more you break out of that cycle, the easier it becomes. I've found that pre-logging my day the night before is very helpful. That way I don't have to think or make decisions when I'm having a bad day and can just refer to my plan.
AFM, another cold, rainy day here. Yesterday was in the high 70s and just a Spring teaser. Can't wait for the real thing!

Good Morning.
@Karen~I’ve had a headache for a couple of days and am tired too, I think its our bodies adjusting to DST. I’ve been coming to work crazy early and working really long days to get everything done, it’s just brutal – but I see nap in my future on Saturday (i.e. 3-1/2 hour flight
).
@Damensha and other newlings~It can be overwhelming at times to keep up with the posts, just respond when you can and don’t feel like you need to respond to everyone at once. Good luck with your doctor’s appt – hope you have fabulous lab results!
@hansea~Way to go – biking to the gym and then working out. I hope the loss sticks!
@Josie~Glad you were able to make it the gym after your chiro appointment, it’s frustrating when you really want to go but the schedule doesn’t allow for it.
@rain~I’m sorry you felt ill during your run last night, that’s happened to me before and its usually the result of eating something too heavy beforehand. I hope that’s all it was and you aren’t coming down with something. Kudos for pushing through it.
@Nettie~It was gorgeous here yesterday too, high was 86 – of course today’s high is in the 50s. Crazy weather! There was another iPhone update pushed out on Monday, if you updated your software you might update the app again (if you don't have yours set up to update apps automatically behind the scenes). Do you clear out the apps running in the background? That can really bog down the performance of the phone and run down the battery fast.
Welcome to Cindy and Nick!
AFM~Busy week, but just today and tomorrow to get through - I should get out of here early enough today for a session with my trainer though. I also hope I can leave on time tomorrow so I can get in some cardio, my boss could have some last minute things to go over though. My Wednesday wish is that I get more organized with packing and that I can somehow downsize my shoes! :blushing:
March Challenge:
1. 9/18 days 16 glasses of water or more
2. 0/4 weeks of a new recipe (have one to share, need to make some time)
3. 9/18 days at least 5 veggies and 2 fruit daily
Exercise Goals:
Sunday~Session with trainer DONE!
Monday~Racquetball with trainer DONE!
Tuesday~None (worked late)
Wednesday~Session with Trainer
Thursday~Cardio? (May have to work late)
Friday~None (pedicure and pack!)
Saturday~None (embark Ship!!!)0 -
I'm back after a long absence due to work, school, and travelling. Unfortunately, I've gained back everything I lost and then some. I signed up for WW Online as well as restarting MFP. This week is spring break and I've managed a loss of 2lbs so far. just by eating when I'm hungry and walking around outside.
My Wednesday wish?
Simply to not slip backwards to my heaviest weight of 275.
(and eventually have my new laptop show up).
3rd SW:275
CW: 269

Wed wish: That my fast food cravings would go away. I am making black bean burgers tonight and I hope they turn out the recipe calls for instant oats and I only old fashion oats.
@Laurie- Love the picture from wedding. Hope you get some well needed rest.
@Robinsegg- hope leg feels better. Good luck at the dentist
@L2T- Congrats on your goal
@Jnettie-Congrats on C25K! As for the cancer screen I am not sure I think your regular doctor refers you. I have to wait till April to discuss because that is a new insurance year for me. My mom told me about because she was told about it.
@Morgori- Congrats on the steps and miles walked.
@Ushkii- I find the same thing if I am busy not usually hungry.
@Damensha- Best wishes on the labs and congrats on 25lbs lost.
@JosieMom- Hawaii sounds so fun.
@Karen- Headaches are the worst hope you feel better.
@Kah- Any size 7 or 7 ½ shoes I will take them LOL. My son has more shoes than me think he has tennis shoe addiction.0 -
Wed. Wish: that the weather would get warmer and we would have some spring weather. Yesterday, was gorgeous! Sunny and warm.(above freezing). Today, we are in a blizzard...and getting a lot of snow..temperatures are dropping fast and it's going to be really cold again. I'm stuck in the house, too treacherous to drive, so I'm doing 'bills'..."sigh"...
Diet wise, I'm taking this time to make my new 'plan of attack' for eating the next few days. I had planned on taking my young, grandson bowling, but can't get to his house. The weather never cooperates on Wednesday here...it's strange!0 -
Good morning.
Yesterday turned into a rest day. I am sore and I have to lift again tonight. My legs hurt going down stairs and my upper body hurts all over. I hurt more today than yesterday. Tonight I will try to lift again. I may have started too much at once. I am going to try and work on the strength training but ease off the cardio. The flexibility would have been pretty easy if I was not so sore.

Wednesday wish: that everyone could have the beautiful spring weather that we are promised this week. I'm sorry that you are still having winter weather.

wednesday wish- CONSISTENCY!!!
went to see the specialist at Health Canada for an assessment to return to work. she was not optomistic as she feels i am too depressed and have chronic pain. Although i am a nurse where i was working did not involve any real physical work so i dont thing it would be a problem. I told her i have worked for a long time with pain and learned that i can do whatever i have to do. Gotta wait and see what the cardiologist has to say on friday. Tried to walk yesterday but was too short of breath so i only managed 20 minutes. Gonna try again today cause it is so nice outside.
If i am able to return to work that will mean i am not able to see my grandkids very much as they live in the next province but i would have less financial stress so i am torn between trying to return or not. If i return i have to be able to work 2 jobs lik i did before with no possibility of needing time off for the next 7 years. Who can guarantee that??? what to do, what to do....
i know....go outside!!0 -
L2T - Thanks for the input, I am a believer in calorie defect even if only dietary.
hansea - Great job on biking to your workout.
grandmakaye - Thanks for the encouragement, it helps.
RobinB - Good job on going to the gym, sorry you are sore but go back and take it easy.
skinny - Sorry you are just Zagging, find that Zig and balance out your calorie allowance.
Wed Wish: We all gain enough positive experience this week to continue on the prescribed path.
Went for a walk this morning and will do another to count today as a day I walked!
It is easier if you plan for things. <Palms self on forehead> :huh:
Goals:
A: Under for Calories 4/7 days a week

Just jumping on before I finally hit the hay today and before I'm too loopy to make sense... My Dr's appt. went swimmingly well except for the part where I needed to pee on demand for a protein dip. I got a ^5 for the weight loss since my last visit, and I think she was a little amazed that her "stubborn child" of a patient was finally doing right. I can't believe that I had to talk her into doing labs today after she hem-hawed around about it. Asking for Lab Work???? Good Grief I think I've gone a little crazy! :bigsmile: I really just want to know if what I'm doing is actually helping things at all. And, of course, I then got a warning that even if the numbers were better, that wasn't reason to stop doing what I was doing. Well Duh! :noway: I must be feeling a little bulletproof because Hubby and I went to our favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch. After logging as closely as I can figure, I didn't do too terribly considering that I skipped breakfast. Sodium is going to kick me in the shins today though. I think it's going to be a big old salad for dinner tonight with as little dressing as possible to balance it out. OH and the thirty or so laps around the office I did trying to "work up a specimen" got me some exercise time in too! Yay!
I'll try to catch up on what everyone's doing when I'm up from my nap since I just got to glance at the highlights this time.
My Wednesday wish is for my numbers to come back better than before, and that I suddenly wake up one morning looking as good as I feel right now. Wouldn't that be Awesome?!?!
Have A Healthy Day Everyone!

Wednesday Wish... pain relief. Really struggling right now with chronic pain in my ankle and shin, and a hip injury that just happened this week. I am trying to push through it all, don't want to take a break, but I know I'm not doing myself any favours. I am on my feet for 5 hrs/day in my job and these days it's hard enough to do that, let alone the intentional exercise. I'm icing frequently and will take tomorrow completely off, in hopes that things will heal up a bit.0

Wednesday Wish.
I want to feel motivated more consistently.0 -
Hello everyone. My Wednesday wish is that everyone suffering with illness or pain starts to feel better. The start of this week was a little rough but is smoothing out now. We are having beautiful weather and I went out and took the dogs for a walk. Went a little different then usual and incorporated some hills. My breathing still doesnt like them but I am able to keep going now as long as I take it slowly on the uphill part. Hopefully we will be able to go shoot hoops this evening. I like to get the burn up around a thousand if I can:bigsmile: Well I cant do personals since it is almost time to go get my neice and nephew from school. KNow that as always I am super proud of every one of you.:flowerforyou:

Hello everyone.
Wed wish: That I can finish my work today and ease into a relaxing spring break.
School is killing me these next few days, and I'm sorting through financial aid paperwork as well. My lower back has been extremely stiff for the last three weeks, and I keep telling myself it will go away. I think part of it may be from starting to run more, but I assumed that it would get better as I improved. No such luck! No amount of back twists have helped either.
Still muddling through maintaining my health while having my friend here. I've been eating a bit into my exercise calories, but I'm telling myself that's okay as it's a temporary solution and I'm not bingeing with her on snacks as I would have done in the past.
Have a good Wed. everyone!0 -
Just popping in and reading. I ate German chocolate cake and chocolate frosting bits during my baking today. That was my lunch. Blech. Now I'm working the evening shift at the clinic and feeling a little ill.
I'm glad some others were able to enjoy the nice weather that blew through. I hope this cold stuff blows out of here fast, too!0 -
I'm tired and sore. I think the time change is affecting me and my sleep. It usually takes me a full week to adapt. Work was awful today, out in the snow storm. Everything is white and it's so hard to see curbs and around snow banks, not to mention having to keep stopping to clear my windows and outside mirrors all the time. Two people almost walked right in front of my car... neither of them even LOOKED before they stepped off the curb. They were darn lucky that I saw them. Seriously, some adults have less brains than children!
I'm still sore in the upper arms, shoulders and chest from yesterday's physio. My hip flexors are still quite sore from Sunday so I hope it won't hurt too bad tomorrow, I'm due for lower body workout. (did a 4 min interval workout of mountain climbers on Sunday- called Tabata... not quite up to the intensity level but it still made me want to die).
This latest snow storm is really depressing me, going from 8C yesterday to 20cm of snow today. I don't know how much more of this winter I can take. I didn't even bother to shovel my driveway again tonight, I just cleared the steps and made a path to my car when I got home from work... which is well covered with snow again.:grumble:0 -
So, I've tried doing the weight loss thing many times but I get easily distracted and I give up.... However, next Monday will be two years since my father died. He had over 25 mini strokes and a Massive heart attack finally ended his suffering. I knew at that moment I had to change my life. I stopped smoking right after he started having these strokes but after he died I fell into a bit of a depression.... Here lately though I feel motivated all of a sudden. I'm still having issues with my Food. I admit that! A few months back I started wearing a pedometer daily. I noticed I was only getting in about 7,000 steps a day... So I was determined to improve and I have slowly built it up. I have really bad hips and some days it's difficult. Since it's warming up a bit my daughter and I have started taking walks in the evening and today I hit a High and I was so excited I think i'm even more motivated now.... I walked 15,510 steps today. 11. 75 miles... I'm looking forward to getting to know the people here and I'm always looking for new friends who will keep me in line!0

rain-Are you running a 5K everyday? If you are then you will want to take a few days offs to recover and give your muscles time to heal. Are you using a training program? On days you are not running, then you can do a cross training exercise to help build muscle strength and endurance. Not sure if I read your post correctly. An exercise for the back, lay on your back and pull your legs up and wrap your arms around them. Then you can roll side to side to help work out the stiffness in your lower back. You can also try rolling back and forth to see if that helps.
Karen- A dressy night out in NYC would be fun.
Welcome back hazel. Are you still doing curling?
Welcome to the new people.
Well the winter weather has returned to my area as well. It was almost 70 degrees today and now the temps are dropping into the low 20's with wind chill's in the teens to single's numbers for feel like temp. There is a chance of snow tonight as well in addition to heavy down pours of rain. The winds are blowing with gusts in the 50 mph and higher range.
The second round of testing is done and it went pretty well today. The worst part was the afternoon of teaching without any breaks. Tomorrow, will be a normal day. I ended up working late today but at least my lesson plans for the next three days are done and papers are copied. Tomorrow, I can focus on 7th grade and a few other things so that is a relief.
Wish- All of us that are dealing with lack of sleep due to Daylight Saving's time, are able to adjust quickly. I am looking forward to getting caught up on sleep or at least back to a normal schedule.
Good night everyone.0 -
@laurie--glad you made it through testing. Ours is coming up in April. We are getting the same roller-coaster ride with the weather. It was gorgeous on Monday and then we got a snowstorm last night with very cold temps tonight. It will be up and down for the next week, but at least we are getting some days around 50 F.
@dawn--welcome! :flowerforyou: Great job increasing your steps! :drinker:
@tanya--we also decided not to shovel this round of snow--good thing too, as most of the new stuff was melted by the afternoon sunshine.
@hansea--Ugh--I've had those days--on the bright side it shows how much healthier you've been that the junk food makes you feel blech.
@rain--I agree with laurie that running a 5k every day is quite stressful as you are still building your running muscles. Even marathoners take rest days. Take a day or 2 off in between your runs and I bet you will see much bigger gains in endurance and speed. Great job keeping the food under control while your friend visits! :drinker:
@tammy--glad someone got some nice weather today! :laugh:
@heidi--I hope the rest day helps ease your pain. :flowerforyou:
@damensha--that's great that you impressed your doctor with your dedication to be healthier--you should be proud of yourself.
@ushkii--I go my Zig back today--I'm exactly 1 calorie over my allowance. :bigsmile:
@karenleona--I don't envy your decision--that's really tough. I hope it all works out for you. :flowerforyou:
@kaye--we are supposed to hit 50 again on Friday, so at least we are now getting some glimpses of Spring.
@tom--sorry you are sore--your plan to ease in more slowly makes sense.
@mel--I forget where you are, but my husband commented earlier this week that he now hates Wednesdays b/c we keep getting the heavy snows on Wednesdays. It is a bit weird. :laugh:
@holly--I hope the burgers were yummy!
@hazel--Welcome back!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
@kelley--I agree that DST is probably the main reason I've felt headachy and tired all week. Just one more day of work for you!!
@L2T--thanks, the headache seems to have finally subsided. I've always loved my shoes. The funny thing is that now even when I go shopping for other types of shoes, I always want runners! My husband laughs, and somehow he seems more accepting of my need to spend money on running shoes vs. "another" pair of cute sandals. :laugh:
@nettie--The Dirty Girl Mud Run which I did the past 2 years had a couple of those inflatable obstacles last year, and they were really fun! It's not coming to my area, but I would say go for it, if will be near you. I found myself taking my own advice as I was running outside today. I kept stopping to walk where it was snowy or icy, but then I realized it was just as safe to run slowly, so I made myself keep running. :laugh:
@cindy--welcome!! :flowerforyou:
Wednesday Wish:
My colleagues and I started a 30-day challenge today. We each pick a behavior to do every day for 30 days (sound familiar? ) and we will help keep each other accountable. I decided to make mine a running challenge since I've been inconsistent lately. My goal is to do a minimum 20-minute run or brisk walk every day with a minimum of 3 runs/week. We are wearing those colored bracelets (think Livestrong) as a visual motivator/reward. We start with it on our left wrist and keep it there everyday we meet the goal. If we miss a day, we move it to our right wrist for the next day. After 10 days straight on the left wrist we get to switch to a new color, and after 20 days a 3rd color. So my wish is to meet this new challenge. I'm off to a good start having run for 25 minutes outside with gunner this afternoon.
Tomorrow I have another late meeting, so I plan to walk some circuits around the HS for 20 minutes during my 9th period open.
March Challenge:
1. 1/4 weeks--Share a new recipe
2. 10/31--Eat a veggie/ salad every day.
3. 12/31--Water goal 12 cups/day
Exercise goals:
Mon--run outside w/ gunner DONE
Tues--rest day (late meeting)
Wed--run outside w/ gunner DONE
Thurs--walk at school (late meeting)
Fri--walk gunner (maybe even run--it's supposed to be warm)
Sat--walk gunner + gym (cardio)
Sun--walk gunner + gym (circuit training + HIIT)0 -
My wish is that my Mom gets stronger and is able to get around better. She had knee surgery in January and had been at a nursing rehab center for the last 6 weeks. She is now home ( alone). She only lives a mile away so it is easy to check on her. I wish I could get her to eat. She hardly eats anything because she doesn't feel hungry (I should be so lucky). Physical therapist comes tomorrow and gardeners and pay her bills. I will probably be there most of the day
I've been doing OK with my calorie intake. Not necessarily good food choices. I don't do well with all this stress. I was able to garden for a couple hours. It is my salvation.
I wish everyone would get well. I wish everyone's winter would be over.
I wish I was better at responding to everyone's comments. I do read and catch up every night even if I don't write.
Thank you for helping with my sanity. Ell0 -
@ischial - consistent motivation can be a tough one! I find that the longer I do something, the easier it is to stay motivated to do it. I guess it's the whole "it takes 21 days to make a habit" thing. I feel ya, it can be really hard and I have done my fair share of giving up and starting over months later!
@jtconst - good weather makes such a difference, doesn't it? Says the one in the middle of yet another winter storm!
I find hills very difficult, lung wise. Even when the rest of my body is very strong and my legs don't even feel the hills, my lungs are the first to crap out on me every time!
@rainandwood - definitely ok to eat some of your exercise calories! Well done at staying on track while your friend is visiting.
@hansea - I won't lie, I drooled at the mention of german chocolate cake! :laugh:
@tanya - sounds like we're in a similar boat right now... tired, sore and ready for spring! Hang in there!
@apeydawn - I understand about your dad, Tuesday will be 4 years since mine passed away, also from heart-related issues. He's my motivation for getting healthy. I also know how difficult these anniversaries can be.
@lauriek - that stretch sounds good, I'll have to try it too!
@skinnyjeanz - good luck with your running challenge! I love those 30 day challenges, they're so motivating and help keep things fresh.
@tigedria - I'm really sorry your mom is not doing well. I know how stressful it is to have a sick parent, and how hard it can be to keep yourself healthy under stress. Good job keeping within your calories, even if you feel like your choices are not the best!
It's wonderful that you have gardening to calm you and also keep you active.
Thursday Truth - well, my confession is that my "rest" day started with Jillian Michaels' yoga meltdown. I was careful, though, and didn't do anything that hurt a lot. I just couldn't stand not burning a few calories in some way. Staying away from the kettlebell and walking today though, so hopefully by tonight I'll see a difference in my pain level. Also, confession that with my weight loss going so slowly, it is really hard to keep my committment to not drink my way through this difficult time of year. I have done well so far, but it's getting harder by the day. Trying to focus on my trip next Thursday, which helps some. 0 -
Not much to report today other than a continued lack of sleep (thanks daylight saving time). I wish my body clock would hurry up and adjust! The weather has returned to winter, but I think the weekend will be warmer. To be honest, I'm not looking forward to the weekend. DH and I will be doing our taxes. Yuck. I dread it and am hoping we at least break even and don't have a big tax bill due. I know I'll feel better when it's done. I hate living with the dread.
Hope everyone has a good day and have weekend plans more appealing than mine!

Thursday truth: today is FREEZING (-30 with wind chill) . Our snow is renewed and looks beautiful! I believe we got about 30 cm., and with the weather like it is, I don't see it melting any time soon. It's pretty, but wish I was somewhere warmer...like Florida!
This reminds me of the winters I had as a kid...they were long.
Having trouble staying on track. I think it's because I'm not as prepared for meal preparation as I should be. I plan on getting some groceries today. Not giving up the fight.0 -
Thursday truth. I really like Gordon Ramsey and am super excited for the new season of Hell's Kitchen to begin tonight. I love all the drama and yelling on the show. For some reason I find it very entertaining. :blushing:
It's official, I have now lost the same amount of weight as I lost my first time on MFP!!! I weighed in at 222.2. I did see a lower weight yesterday by a little less than a pound. I know good things are coming! So far March is turning out to be a good month. I went for my last run of the. Week yesterday morning. It was tough but I did it. I decided I am going to keep repeating week 1 until I am able to run the entire 60 seconds for every interval. I felt really good after completing it yesterday. My legs aren't as sore anymore!
Welcome newbies. Jump right in and join us. Be sure to check back regularly.
Kah - I have not seen an update for c25K yet. I keep looking though. To answer your question, I do not have it set to update automatically.
Have to switch to a computer. This tablet is taking too long to respond making typing difficult.0 -
kAH - Yesterday, the app was acting a bit weird. I don't know if it was because my music was playing through the app or what but I didn't hear it signal to run and walk 1x. Then at the end it didn't give me the option to sync with MFP. But at least I didn't have any issues with it shutting down my phone. \
Are you getting excited for your cruise? You are going to have such a great time!
Hyzzarc - welcome back! I left MFP for a while then returned. I found it was easier my second time here. I attribute this to already knowing what I needed to do.
Mnwalking - Thanks. I am going to ask my doctor about it next time I go to him.
Karen - That is insane that you have to guarantee not needing any time off for the next 7 years. Why is that? That seems very unrealistic of them to ask that kind of commitment of you. \
Skinny - I sent that link to my cousin. She has recently gotten back into running and we plan on eventually doing a 5K together. I am not sure if we will do that one or not but it looked really fun! I am glad to hear that you took your own advice and went outside for a run. Two thumbs up for you!
Sending happy vibes to everyone who is struggling, feeling aches and pains and/or dealing with bad weather. Hang in there. It may not seem like it right now but things do and will get better. :flowerforyou:0 -
Am I too late to join? I so want to lose weight. I turned 40 three weeks ago, was just diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and need to lose 75 lbs. I am mother of 4 (10 year old daughter is a cancer survivor--can you say stress?), Substitute teacher, full time grad school student, and pastor's wife. I have lots on my plate, but definitely need to lose the weight.
I've lost 4 lbs. since I started this journey, but really would love to have some place to check in and get some encouragement. I love the idea of checking in every day with something different.
My THURSDAY TRUTH would be that I really love food and really don't want to do any work to lose the weight. I just want it to magically disappear.
I'd love to get to know you all better and applaud your successes in this journey.
:flowerforyou:
