    Am not sure exactly how this works (groups - joining and reporting in) but am keen to try. My goal every day is a minimum of 60 minutes exercise and I usually hop on my bike for most of that.

    Hello, my name is maggie. I have lost 40lbs since Nov. I am kinda stuck at my weight. I do 90 minutes of cardio a day.60 on treadmill, 30 on either eliptical or the other machine can't think if name. Anyway I drink protien shake every morning. I drink mainly water if not water the the lipton add in. I have a lot of trouble eating. 1290 calories a day and to eat back what I burn is impossible for me. Looking for ideas

    Hi all,
    Well June (ok and May... and maybe April) was a bit of a write off food wise. I think I got kind of depressed (losing interest in something important to you is a symptom right?) and know I was definitely discouraged and "deflated" by some stuff that happened at work. But so it goes and it's all part of this process.I am happy I have new habits that continued during this "down" time. Making habits is my best bet I'm learning. So in June I:
    1. Attended 3X per week cardio aerobics classes (30 mins aerobic dance-like stuff, then 30 minutes mix of strength training and yoga-like things like planks and lunges plus stretching) = I do this religiously... almost no exceptions
    2. Went to the gym and tread on the mill 3X per week (this one may be less consistent, but usually missed if I have done something like really intense gardening that day or a lot of walking already)
    3. Did lots of gardening!
    4. Went to a swimming pool one time with an MFP friend and did water walking. It was great to try something new!
    5. Got a bicycle. Now to think about actually getting on it!

    So the exercise is pretty much down and good. Habits are where it's at for me!

    For July:
    1. DRINK THE WATER! Fill a 10 Cup jar with water daily. Start with a glass of water with fresh lemon squeezed in. This goal requires a glass container in the fridge with one lemon quartered and the next lemon on top... right on the front of one of the fridge shelves so I see it whenever I open the fridge door. And I don't like water cold anymore for some reason so the big mason jar (think vintage decor here) sits on the counter with a pretty glass beside it ready to remind me to drink. If I haven't consumed all that water by mid afternoon there is also a really long straw nearby so I can turn the mason jar into a sipper cup. heh heh. So far so good.
    2. EAT REGULARLY (I find breakfast really hard): breakfast, lunch, snack, supper, snack = I already started trying to do this and I'm already not as desperate for corn chips (my last really salty crunchy foible) every night. Subgoal... make the calories count here... lots of fibre, minimize factory processed stuff, eat like my great grandmother would have eaten. It's nice to be in garden season!
    3. Minimum 5 VEGGIES PER DAY. Will allow one to be a fruit ;) In 3 days I've already discovered I can pack in 3-4 cups of lettuce (or mix of lettuce, spinach and kale) in an old serving bowl (and it's a pretty bowl too!) top with some salmon or other protein and I've got a lot of those veggies down the hatch! This goal also really requires me to buy and immediately clean and cut up veggies in containers in the fridge to reduce the barriers when the hungries hit1
    4. Keep up the MFP DIARY!!!! And of course checking in here on my favourite Motivation and Support group :)
    5. EXERCISE: My cardio classes will be reduced to only 2 per week so it will be more important to do those gym workouts 3 days per week, keep gardening, get that bicycle rolling!

    Thanks for being there MFPers and wonderful Women Ages 50+ group!

    Hey Maggie 850! I am no paragon here. No expert. But I wonder if it's not so much how many calories you eat but where the calories come from? I am trying to make lunch an enormous salad. Chew chew chew and lots of fibre and stuff I figure is making my metabolism work harder? And you can load calories into a smoothie. A natural nutrition friend advised me to put coconut oil in smoothies along with yoghurt, berries, bananas, etc. Smoothies are a yummy breakfast or post workout thing. Good luck!!! You can do this!

    HAPPY CANADA DAY!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Deb in Melbourne, Manc Lass, Barbara from Dublin & all Newbies: Welcome to a supportive and encouraging group of women.:flowerforyou:

    Deb A in CNY: I want to be like your DMIL when I reach my 90’s. It would be so awesome if my kids and their spouses looked forward to spending time with me. I think your DMIL is lucky to have you in her life.:smile: I retired earlier than I’d planned because of DH’s health problems and I’m glad I was able to make the finances work. I haven’t regretted it.:flowerforyou:

    Sylvia: It sounds like you are having a great time.:flowerforyou:

    Barbie: I value this group to help me stay motivated and on track. You are so important in my life for all you do to keep us going. Thank you!:heart::flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:

    Tere in Richmond VA: Nice to see you again. I hope you’ll be able to stop by a bit more often.:flowerforyou:

    DrKatie: Thanks for the grin this morning. DH’s are on another planet. Remember the Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus books from back when? At least yours looks at your butt.:wink::laugh:

    Carol in Monroe: Shoe of the month club. What an idea! I’m impressed that you walk to your doctor’s office for a weekly weigh in. Where is Monroe?:flowerforyou:

    Melodys_attic: I’ve learned that weight loss is basically a math problem. You need to burn more calories than you consume. Being healthy requires more than simple math. It requires good nutrition, water, exercise AND math. Your comment about where calories come from is right on target for becoming healthier. Unfortunately the math problem is in the center of the mix for those of us who need to lose or watch our weight.:ohwell: :flowerforyou:



    We have a heat advisory today! That is rare for us this early in July. We’ll plan our day to stay cool as we can and have plenty of water to drink. Time to go to yoga.

    Have a great day.

    Katla in beautiful NW Oregon

    “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas A. Edison



    July Goals:
    1. Log every bite and swallow.
    2. Cardio exercise at least 3 days a week.
    3. Have fun every day.
    4. Drink at least three glasses of water daily, preferably more!

    Patty - congratulations on the new grandchild! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :heart: :love:

    Welcome to all the new people! ! ! ! ! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I have just finished prep for tomorrow's dinner party for my brother and his wife. Done the yoghourt and vanilla pannacottas. Done the squid stew, which is simmering, and even skinned and chopped the tomatoes which go in the stew at the last minute. DH went shopping for things I had forgotten.:laugh: and bought me lovely flowers to decorate the house.:love: Everything else I will do tomorrow and get DH to spruce up the downstairs. He is the hoover and sweeper guy, I am the lavatory and duster gal. :laugh: Nobody is going to see the upstairs! :laugh: :tongue:

    Tonight is roasted butternut squash with bolognese sauce from the freezer, with green beans and a light sprinkle of parmesan. When I got the sauce out I found I had labelled a portion as 260 calories. How forward thinking of me!:tongue: I wanted something eady tonight with all the prep I've been doing and I am off to the WI at 7.20 pm. We are learning about jams and curds and having a Pimms. Will have to leave a few calories for that!

    Checked my bmi today. 23.29. Then checked my body fat. 28.27. All in the healthy range for my age which is 64. I think my fat is a bit less as I couldn't put in half numbers so put in the upper number. So my waist, which is 30.5, I put in as 31.
    My annual health check is overdue, but I would like to get some blood results. They have always been fine - no chloresterol problems. My blood pressure on my home machine which is not terribly accurate was 136 over 81. I am on medication for my blood pressure. I know I eat too much salt - my weakness.:cry: Still that's not a bad result - the upper figure is always a bit high. So pretty good all told, but still a little wriggle room for improvement.

    But Heather - DON'T LET THE PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD, :laugh: I am so grateful and happy that I have come this far. At yoga today I realised that my abilities are unrecognisable now from two years ago. Any new people, take heart. Two years ago I was a shuffling, obese, out of breath, near cripple. I would not have believed that I could achieve such a transformation. I hated most exercise, and could not ever have conceived of lifting dumbbells! :laugh: Thank you ladies, my Vitamin F friends, Barbie for keeping us together and in line :laugh: and thank you MFP.

    Lots of love from a very grateful Heather in still sunny Hampshire UK

    Happy Canada day!! I'm at work today because we were closed yesterday. It's so quiet.

    I don't know where the days go, they seem to zip by so quickly. It feels like ages since I've been able to keep up with the group.

    I had a NSV on Saturday. A dear friend's daughter had a destination wedding so they were having a drop in get together on Saturday for her & her new hubby. It was a buffet but I didn't eat a thing. I thought of Barbie and I took my bottle of water and sipped on that for the afternoon. They had soooooo many sweets which don't really tempt me but it's the crackers/cheese/chips and the dip...oh the dip. :laugh: I felt so amazing walking out of there (except that I got a bit of heat stroke) that I didn't cave at all no matter how many people asked if I wanted something to eat.

    This weekend is when I'm supposed to be meeting my brother for the first time in almost 25 years. We set the date of July 6th but we haven't set the place yet.

    Stay cool and drink lots of water :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Hi Everyone,

    Happy July and Happy Canada to all of our friends up north! My June goal was to lose 1 more pound, done. My goals going forward are to maintain my weight loss, tone my muscles more, and long term goal is to keep up these healthy habits and lose maybe 2-3 more pounds. I am very happy with my progress so far.

    Barbie, thanks for the new thread for July. I understand how we can fall back into our old eating patterns. I'm catching myself slipping often now that I'm am trying to maintain. :smile:

    Renny, happy birthday! :flowerforyou:

    Heather, your food sounds delish as always. Congratulations on how successful you've been on this journey.:flowerforyou:

    Sandy, congratulations on your NSV. I hope your meeting with your brother is a happy one!:smile:

    Patty, congratulations on your new grand baby! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :heart: :smile:

    Welcome everyone new.:flowerforyou:

    Hugs to all I missed. :heart:

    Hello to all and welcome to all newcomers: Mostly just marking my place, will put in goals later. Working today on cleaning and organizing files. I am great at procrastinating when it comes to this job, yuck! I can sympathize with all of you with sugar problems. I have the same thing and really do think it is a type of addiction. Last week I did a sugar detox, lean protein, veggies and nuts only for three days. This week I added back one dairy serving and two fruit servings. I was doing great until Sunday when I had to be at church early and was there until late afternoon. Ate sugary things although not over calories and yesterday the cravings were not good. Back on track now and today cravings do not seem so bad.

    Got online to see my medical chart. This is something new here that they have started. Was able to read doctor's notes from my last couple of visits and I do not like being described as " a pleasant 65-year-old lady who is morbidly obese". This weight has got to go!!!!

    Renny - Happy Birthday!

    Patty - Congratulations on new grandbaby.

    Healing angels to all who need them and congratulations to those with victories. Sue in SD

    :flowerforyou: Sandy, congratulations on your success at the buffet……drinking water and eating nothing seems to be easier than taking a bite of something…..as long as my mouth doesn’t have a taste of cheese, it’s OK but after one taste I’m in trouble.

    :flowerforyou: Cindy, now that I’m maintaining, I let myself have occasional days when I eat what’s served instead of going to great lengths to stay with my plan and whenever I do, I’m sorry…..certain foods just don’t sit well in my digestive system. I just took some ground turkey out of the freezer tomorrow so we’ll be sure to have our regular style meal tomorrow when the company is gone.

    :flowerforyou: My two grandsons who are visiting, think that the exercise bike and the hand weights are the greatest things to entertain themselves here---they keep saying “I’m exercising”.

    :flowerforyou: I went outside to work in the yard and heard the sound of a chain saw and found a huge tree being cut down at the end of the block so I stayed out to watch starting with the guy half way up the tree cutting off branches all the way to the final cutting down on the last part and falling without hitting the house or the garage.

    :flowerforyou: We’re supposed to go to lunch soon but I have no idea where they’ve chosen to go.

    It was a nice walk to my weigh in, I lost 2.2 lbs from last Tuesday, it amazes me as for years the scales only went up !

    Katla, Monroe is about 35 miles north east of Seattle, the next biggest city to me is Everett, which is 17 miles north west of me.
    Monroe is a small town surrounded by dairy farms, horse breeders, tons of plant nurseries and now that the marijuanana is le g al to sell and grow, there are growing businesses popping up as well. Funny how things change !
    Where are you located in Oregon ? You live in a beautiful state, so clean and green, we love the Coastal Region !

    Our whether is supposed to rea c h the 90's today, all of my flowers are watered, lets pray they hold up.

    It was so nice to see new comers to our lil group today, as I love to read all of the different stories and gain knowledge from everyone who participates I love our sisterhood!

    I am off to the yard, gonna get my tan on.

    Have a great day all !!!

    Good morning and Happy 1st of July:drinker: . Can't believe the year is half over already, just flying by. Today was weigh in day and I am down .6. I admit yesterday before the day was done I did over do. Today is new day and back on track.
    Did about half of my goals so going to keep acouple for another month.

    Sylvia--Great NSV! Sounds like you are having a good trip. So happy for you.:smile:

    Patty--Congrates on the new DGD.:heart:

    Katiebug--thats the style. I see people coming into the hospital all the time and have their shirts or pants inside out.:laugh:

    Happy Canada day to all of you in that area. Barbie Thank you so much for keeping us going. :heart:

    Sandy--Congrates on your NSV. Good Luck with your brother this weekend. I have a brother (Half, same dad, different mom) Mike that is from May 30 to March 2 older then me. I have never met him and until acouple years ago I did not know for sure where he was. Anyway he has called me once and we plan to meet sometime???????? He is real bitter towards my dad, which I don't blame him, but he needs to have peace with it. He did FINALLY friend me on facebook, so do get to see his posts.

    Tatiana, there is no set rules in our posting. You do just what you are comfortable doing. I know that posting about our lives helps us get to know each other and be closer. It has helped me in that by posting about day to day things it has given me insight in what some of my stressors are that I didn't know about, helped me set goals that are not diet related at all. All that makes me stronger which helps me in my eating.

    To whoever it was who read the doctor's record, at least your doctor said you were pleasant!

    Well if you notice, my ticker says 59 pounds lost now!!!!!! Jumping up and down and celebrating. I weigh every day and boy does it fluctuate but I only count it once a week. so yesterday when my weight was right at where it was last time I showed loss I knew I was getting close to losing again. I don't know why I don't just steadily or at least once every 2 weeks show an ounce or so. But I tend to just lose a pound all of a sudden. Well this month it was 1.2 pounds! I started in Oct 2012 232.8 and this morning was 173.4. I got off, fed the cat and took care of her litter box and then weighed again just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. But it was the same! So I will take it.

    Last night I had nightmares about my tilt table test. Well not the test itself but the fact that when I got there, they were horsing around so I got disgusted, got off the table and started walking around. It was at this point some one comes running in the room with something that look like an Ipad with a heart rhythm and showing something terribly wrong. They never said it was my rhythm but they were saying they needed to get her to surgery for an immediate pace maker.

    Glad to see so many more people make this wonderful commitment to their health and life. welcome, join in, tell us about yourself and what we can do to help.

    July 1st and a new month and a restart for me. Goal-setting and support sound great. I'm 57 (58 on the 12th), problems with arthritis for the past year. Hate the pain, life is too short and I truly believe the right foods, exercise and weight loss is my only option to a better, healthier life.

    Goals for July: 1) eat healthy
    2) log every day
    3) check in every day
    4) walk 3-4 days a week
    5) rest, relax & enjoy life every day!!

    Hope you don't mind me joining,

  • Hello ... I'm Clark's Mom, AKA Cathy

    I'm new to MFP ... weight has been an issue in my life since my teens, Have had some good years and some bad ones. I find myself very close to my all-time high so I thought I'd use the start of a new month to get going.

    Today I weight in at 233. I'd like to lose 75lbs by the end of 2015 and arrive under 200 by the end of the year. My 11 yo son is away for the summer with his dad, so my intention is to use these next two months to work on myself.

    Goals for July would be:

    * Exercise 4 days each week.
    * Stick to a plant-based diet as much as I can.
    * Get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.

    That's it. Pleased to be here.

    Cathy welcome. I think it is wonderful that you have a month for yourself and what a good time to not only lose weight, but also to get healthier for your son

    Good luck. New month new start

    Hi everyone. Happy Canada Day! It was gorgeous here on the East Coast of Canada. We walked to town and we were dancing in the street to all kinds of oompahpah :D It took a lot of mindfulness to stick to my goal of eating regularly. Lunch would have been easy to skip or leave to "grabbing something" at the festivities. Instead I managed to make something good and be half an hour later than I'd planned. My goals have to be my priority! Today I also went out in to my garden and took a hoe and a heavy metal rake to a couple of areas of seriously compacted and grassless soil. We are talking 10X14' expanses times 2 plus some other smaller patches. I broke up all this soil plus some sodded areas then mixed clover seed with soil. This required carrying several huge bags of soil about half an acre. Then I scooped the soil-seed mixture by the bucket-full and broadcast it around the patches. After that I had to haul more bags of topsoil and put some of that on top of the seed-soil mixture. Then I planted about 20 bugle weed plants (a pretty ground cover), some irises and some things I don't know the name of that are a lighter green ground cover. When I was finished I discovered that the winter ate my hose. So I had to water the whole business one watering can at a time... walking back and forth to the spigot. It's amazing how hard I can work now I'm in better shape and how long I can go with this type of "exercise" or "work-xercise" and barely notice it! I'm often counting the minutes in the gym. At supper I piled half my plate high with lettuce and kale. These are NOT foods I really enjoy but I made it to my goal of 5 veggies today by sheer determination and awareness.

    My July Goals:
    1. Drink 10 cups of water daily (starting with a glass of water with lemon in it before anything else)
    2. Eat regular meals and snacks (nothing factory processed, minimize sugar)
    3. 5 veggies a day (will allow one to be a fruit)
    4. Keep the MFP diaries and post daily
    5 Exercise 6 days/week (2 aerobics classes; 3 treadmill at gym; plus one other such as swimming, bicycling, gardening)

    Thanks to all of you for being here :)

    Hi Friends,
    What a blessing it was to spend the entire month of June at home, especially the one week I took as a stay-cation. Took myself on day trips to nearby lakes and rivers which I have taken for granted for years. Got a charge out of stand up paddle boarding, which uses a lot of core muscles. Loved it! Cooked a lot of wholesome meals and made exquisite variations of infused waters (mint and melon together is especially refreshing). After months of reading Michelle post about it, I finally tried a deep water exercise class. What a GREAT workout. End result is I am tanned, rested and down 1.5 pounds. :happy: :happy: :happy: :glasses:

    Next week I’ll be back on the road: Kansas City, Emporia, New York, Delaware coast and Baltimore. Will keep logging and working very hard to keep balanced and disciplined. :drinker:

    Thank you, Barbie for your stalwart presence and for keeping us going month after month. :flowerforyou: Thank you Vitamin F friends for continuing to make this a safe and nurturing space to share, read, lurk and learn. I treasure you all. :heart:

    Here’s to a great July.

    June Report card:
    Strength training 90 minutes per week. B+ :wink:
    Try out an aquatics class and check out Masters swim. B- (will carry over masters swim to July) :ohwell:
    Three times a week, consume fewer than 50 carbs. Less wheat the better. B+ :bigsmile:
    Pick up the phone and call a friend or relative 1x per week just to check in. C- :frown:
    On a daily basis, list 5 things I’m grateful for. A- :love: :love: :love:

    July Goals:
    Try out master’s swim
    45 minutes of cardio 5x/week
    Minimize sugar and wheat
    Read ‘Strong Women Stay Young’
    Call a friend or relative 1x per week

    My word for 2014 "Release"
