Unfortunately I'm not one of the losers this week, I'm finding it hard to stick with my calories for the day and the more I exercise the more hungry I am. I'll just have to be strict with myself and fill up on veg , I've also bought wholemeal pasta to help to fill me so I'll see how that goes. Still on the plus side I didn't put any weight on either.
I did a Nordic walking session again today, the sun was out and the snow was on the ground so it was very scenic. Yesterdays exercise was a 4.5 mile run in the rain.
Have a good Thursday everyone.

Chin up...staying the same is fantastic!
About your hunger...are you eating enough and often enough? 3 meals and 2 snacks are ideal to get enough food...that means you're eating every 2-3 hours. Yes, filling up on veggies is a great idea and eating a fat, carb, and protein each time may also help. Just some suggestions. Others may jump in to give some more.

It is so exciting to see the progress everyone is making!!! I am so encouraged that I can get to my goal even if it takes longer than anyone
else. I did get my recumbent stationary bike this am.( I got a Schwinn A25) hope this will help me burn some fat!

Great day everyone who lost!! My weigh in is tomorrow and I hope I see some good results. Exactly one month yesterday before my Jamaica trip and getting into that bathing suit.
ELAINE - I took down the oatmeal recipe. I am doing up a new binder with all my healthy recipes. I still have my old favorites in another binder, but those are the not so healthy recipes. I also started one for company and parties. I am loving all the new recipes that MFP is sending on my email.
SPARKLECOMET - I am doing yoga twice a week and I love it. It gives me a break from the cardio I do most of the time. I am becoming stronger and now working on flexibility in my hips right now. I also do weights once a week because they say people my age should do weights so our muscles don't deteriorate. Good luck with the ballet and yoga.

Shirley - How do deal with food when you are on holidays? I will be away for a week next month and I'm a little nervous about it. I want to get my moneys worth as it is an all inclusive but I don't want to come home heavier. I would be happy to maintain. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hey Barbie,
I also started line dancing about 10 years ago and love it. Having a background in ballet is a wonderful base for any dance program.
Just got home from a 2 hour intermediate/advanced line dance class. I always feel so energized after class.
Going out with friends to a place to couples dance tonight. Hope I can stay awake!

Good afternoon everyone! The sunshine here is a glorious thing! I do love when it snows but the sunshine makes me happy! So I thought we could explore what makes us all smile...

My mom (Marie/Caliecat) makes me happy when I see her making new friends online. So proud of how she blossoms when she greets everyone.

Not a bad day today. Tired after dealing with a sick kiddo, so no exercise but I'm still within my calorie limit. Hope everyone had a great day. Night y'all!0

@Shirley: I'm really glad you're enjoying yoga Shirley. About 6 months ago a friend convinced me to go to hot yoga with her and I loved it. I feel you come out of it so relaxed and refreshed as well as having the benefits of becoming stronger and more flexible. I always told myself when I had a bit more spare money I would do it again so in March I'm going to join my yoga's studios 30 day challenge! I've been meaning to do some weights as well, since I know they're really good for you, but I just find them so boring!
@Barbie: It's wonderful to know that all your dance training when you were younger are still useful to you till this day. I most certainly do not have a dancers body but I feel as an adult you can choose to do things just for fun and you don't have to worry about what parents or teachers think. I'm really glad you found something that you love to do!
Ballet was a lot of fun yesterday. I still need a lot of practice to make sure I don't drop my posture and things like that but I'm going to try and do as much practice as I can outside of classes as well. I'd like to continue until I can actually use en point shoes. That's my current goal! Happy Friday everyone! The weekend is right around the corner! I have a big going away party for a good friend of mine tomorrow so it's cake baking night tonight along with an easy run! I hope everyone has a great and healthy Friday!

Weigh in this am...not a great week...'nuff said...chin up ...today starts a new week..getting focused - I got this!0

Can I join please0
Valerie and Sophie, I took ballet classes from age 9 to 17. I never had the body of a dancer and I never met the expectations of my mother or any of my teachers. As an adult in my 40's I took Jazzercise and realized that my dance training was easy to transfer and then when I retired I found line dance and for ten years have been improving my skills. Now I attend two intermediate classes and teach the beginner class in my small town. I recently tried my hand at choreography and have three dances that I taught my class.
My day has been dog walking, breakfast and spiritual reading, dog walking, dance class, lunch, some work on the income tax, riding the exercise bike, more dog walking and now a brief time on the computer with all of you.
