Jean, sounds like you are really back on track--yay!

I had a good day myself, yesterday, with exercise (that I haven't done for awhile) and keeping my calories under. YAY me! Hope I can keep it up. I will probably get outside for a walk today since it looks great out there.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Good evening to everyone - but I realize many of you are not at the evening time of your day - so, I will say:
Good

everyone - you fill in the blanks!! LOL

Welcome to all of our newbies!! I am Reba and live in central Kansas. My husband is a farmer and sells farm seed such as corn, soybeans, milo and etc. I am a retired elementary school teacher. We have 3 married children that have blessed us with 8 grandchildren.

As promised, today has been much better getting over 7000 steps and the day is not done here in Kansas. I also did much better with nutritional calories.

I will check in tomorrow with the total step count.

Oops sorry my keyboarding skills are not very good on my tablet and either miss keys all together or hit a wrong one. Unfortunately I hit post before I edited my post. I noticed that I should have typed fuel cards and the word drivers and I am not sure what else I typed wrong. Sorry Joyce

Hi all - I'm back again, not been logging on for a few months as I stopped counting calories when I cut out bread, pasta etc. Just log food now and then to see what my macros are and surprisingly my calories are where I would want them to be.

I joined a "total loser" group at my gym, and since then have been gymming it generally 5 times a week, mainly lifting heavy with HIIT as well. It was hard at first but now I feel better than I have felt for a few years. Will catch up with what has been going on with everybody later. The group seems more active than when I first joined back in November.

I have reached my little personal goals I set out for myself at the beginning in February. Trainer at the gym set me a new one yesterday - to do 10 proper press ups by the end of the month ( I think you call them push ups in the States!) I couldn't do even one in February, and looking back, when I was younger I couldn't do them either. Now I can do about 4 - it helps that I am now 22 lbs lighter than I was at the start of February.

Also this weekend I did my first 5K run for nearly 2 years (not a race, I just measured it) 37 mins - not fast but now I have a time to beat, so am aiming to get under 35 minutes by the end of the month. I'm even reading my old issues of running magazines.

As you may have guessed I am very competitive with myself!!

Oh - I also want to lose a few more pounds by the end of May. Isn't belly fat so stubborn and annoying?!!! I could be almost happy with my shape if it wasn't for that.

Catch up with you all soon.

Hi everyone. I am new to the group and to MFP so I am still learning. My challenge for May is to loose at least 5 pounds and to exercise more. My food diary has drawn my attention to the fact that I am consuming too much sodium so another goal is to reduce the amount to within or below the guidelines.

Hi Everyone: I just got back from my walk. I wish I could take credit for it but my DH got me out . Still more work needed on my part to self motivate to get out and walk.

I am still a little behind schedule to get in 15 walks this month, but I am doing better than a few days ago!

Congrats to all of you that are moving forward and pls hang in there to those who are also having a bit of a struggle! :drinker:

Cheers, Marian

You have done so well, especially being on vacation. I hope you are feeling great about yourself.

Always listen to your body. You did the right thing. Sounds like you are on the right track to success.

If you lose something every week that's really good and the way to go. Well done. Enjoy your weekend.
Sunshine here today for a change - looks like next week will be warmer but wetter - ah well!!
