Gloria, I just sent you a friend request.
I am back after a 3-day MFP hiatus. I want to get a few healthy days in this week before my dad and sister come for a visit -- I know we'll be doing a lot of restaurant meals and probably drinking more wine/beer than usual.
NSV: I went shopping yesterday for some new summer clothes as I noticed that a lot of my clothes are, well, not so much "too big" as they are "less snug." At the department store, I tried on a bunch of plus size clothes (1x/16W) and everything was too big. I got to shop in the "Misses" (regular-sized) section for the first time in several years.0 -
Rebilaugh - That's brilliant. Well done0

Hey, everyone, I'm new and figured I would pop in to say hi. I've used MFP before, but this time, I'm really going for it. I wasn't able to get a workout in today because of a work event, but I am looking forward to getting back in tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a good day!0

Well its one thing that I weigh too much for the machine but when the tech found out about me being called a female name his attitude and everything changed. I felt so humiliated and he just seemed to have a complete loathing to me. While i was walking out of the hospital i was in tears. a nice lady took me down to the Quality office and they took my complaint but I should never have had to deal with that,
I am SO sorry that you had to deal with that. Good on you for filing a complaint! It is unfortunate that some people are very narrow in their world view.

Hey everyone... I'm new to this. I haven't worked out in three weeks and lack all motivation to go due to working two jobs that has me tired. Maybe tomorrow I'll go to the gym even if it's just 30 minutes.
I work a more than full time job, work every other Saturday in another state, so I get the feeling too tired for the gym. My job is frequently high-stress (work with kids/family in crisis) but I have found setting myself as a priority instead of far down the list has made me feel better. Start with a small goal, like gym twice a week for 30 minutes each. That's all, and then see how you feel. You can do this!

Hey everyone, new to the group, I have a long on-and-off history of fairly intense training followed by life intervening. I ended a volunteer position which was both a time-eater and emotionally draining, and want to spend at least the next six months focusing on well-being in all areas of life.
I joined MFP two weeks ago and started logging my food and started to see why my clothes are getting too tight! So glad to say I have lost 7 of 20 pounds so far and will see where that puts me. I am more into lifting than cardio but understand the need for both, especially now. I started stand-up paddleboarding last year and LOVE it, but don't want to scare people when I take my shirt off.0 -

I would say that it depends what activates your asthma. As a person with asthma (though not severe), I found that exercising regularly, particularly things like stationary bikes, walking, treadmills, etc really help with lung capacity and efficiency. I can still remember being short-winded because of exertion rather than my asthma acting up and it was a marvelous feeling - because before I would get winded due to asthma really easier when I did something physical.

So I used to track everything once upon a time, lost a good deal of weight. Took a nice paying gig (still have it) but didn't keep up the good habits. So I am 20 lbs heavier, recovering from a mania that could have been less severe if I had maintained my sleep schedule, and ready to get my health back. The steps for today is limiting myself to 2 pots of coffee; hitting the y; working a split; and playing with new found electronics for health.0

w00t. 9.6 pounds down, 10.4 to go, but I suspect it will not be enough. Survived dinner at Grandma's without a setback, especially since she heard what I was doing and made efforts to accommodate.0
