Karijo475 nice to meet you I have a son who played hockey for 18 years and a daughter who is 14 and I did years of board meetings with school PTA I’m now trying to take care of myself I go to the gym three days a week in the mornings and then will try and track what I eat and not lie to myself what I actuallyGood luck on your journey and have fun
Good morning dante8993! My son had been playing hockey for 5 years now, baseball as well.
I stopped tracking my food this time around and I’ve done better! When ever I track I do good for awhile then fall off the wagon. So tried this way and I’m down 70#! It’s all about finding what works for you! Good luck!!0 -

I try to log on once a day at least. (It's easier for me to check messages vs. logging in). I spend a few hours every morning at the gym, then evenings are filled with my son's hockey, board meetings for Little League or PTO meetings...LOL
Have a good day!!

Hi!
I am new to MFP and have found the logging tools very useful. Still trying to find my around this app but figuring it out. I'm on a new eating adventure doing the keto thing. All's going well so far!
I'm working the gym in next week. LOL
Trying to ease into this.
I have 3 daughters, eldest got married in July, the other 2, 18 and 15, live with me. I keep busy with work, 4-H meetings and directing a show choir. Nice to meet you!

Good morning lisbydezign! How are you liking keto? I have friends who do it and it seems very restricting! I believe she told me she couldn’t have fruit!0 -
Happy Sunday!! What is your goal for the week?? Mine- drink 100 Oz of water a day! I was doing good then lately I’ve slacked off and I see it in my weight loss....0

Hi! I'm 42 and married, living in northern Manitoba, Canada. I am busy with my daughter getting married next month, and my 3 stepchildren at home (aged 15 - 18). I work days in mostly office work, and many nights have community group meetings, etc, along with family needs. I am looking to lose about 35 pounds or more - lost 5 already. I usually check in daily. Would love to have more friends on MFP to help keep me motivated. That office work doesn't help keep the pounds off!
Some days it’s a struggle to make time for yourself!!1 -

I was on here for almost a year and I was doing well with my weight loss until I had a stroke last year. I just been recovering. I forgot about this website and finally I found it again. So now I'm back to my regiment. The only problem and it's a big one. I only can do limited cardiovascular exercises.. I am hoping to get lose the rest of my weight which is about 40 pounds by June.
Good morning! I had open heart surgery about 10 years ago. I am going in for surgery at the end of December and I’m paranoid this time around! One of the reasons I’m pushing so hard to lose weight. I want surgery to be easy, along with recovery!
I’m sure you can lose those pounds by June! Sounds like you’ve lost quite a bit already? Good luck!!0 -
I'm 47 and trying to be the best person I can be. I'm weighing in at 139.2 this morning & i'm 5'6". Would love to get to 128-130 & want to firm up the belly area so I've been learning the TRX suspension cable exercises which are a blast but hard. Yesterday I took a walk & was passing by a hill so I started jogging it up & then back down- did that 3 times. Felt exhilarating as I'm not a runner at all. I want to inspire people with these messages to get out & be active and am hoping to hear positive feedback as well. That will be a huge motivator to not become lax over the winter. Thanx everyone- keep on rockin' it over 40!! YEAH!3

I love TRX. After I used it a few times at the gym I bought my own for at home. I have even got my 11 yr old using it!2 -

So I am addicted to Mtn Dew, but since starting back on here I have not had any. I have drank other sodas, but i have been slowly stopping to drink that and mostly drinking water. I was in the mood for a sugary drink so i tried my husbands Crystal Lite Lemon Ice Tea. I think I found my cheat drink. I used to drink crystal light all the time because my mom loves it, hut for some reason after my twenties I stopped drinking it and now I am glad I tried it again. Upper 30s and lower 40s I just barely started realizing that soda is one of the reasons I started gaining weight rapidly. I didnt moniter myself on it. I was able to drink a 2 ltr in a day and i did it very regularly. I am hoping i will not cheat.1

Good job quitting! It can be hard! I used to drink Pepsi often, but now I drink primarily water & a cup of coffee. Every once in awhile a Pepsi sounds good and I'll have one, but I've learned to limit myself. Coffee on the other hand.... yea that's not going to happen1 -
I'm hangry today.
This only happens to me when I've had a salad for lunch then gone to the gym and lifted weights, done spinning, and spent a half hour doing laps in the pool.
When I'm hangry, I feel like the cookie monster from sesame street.
My solution? Keep drinking from my water bottle until I'm reasonably full enough to make a smart snack decision and not plow down the poor family member blocking my way to the fridge.2 -

Hey Everyone! I'm 44, an engineer and father of a 12 and 8 year old. I've got the typical stressors of folks our age: marriage, job, kids, money and health. Lost ~70 pounds last time on MFP, but didn't handle my "pre-diabetes" and that eventually developed into Type 2. After a run-in with the hospital, I'm actually back on MFP and working on it. I'm down 6 lbs so far on MFP, but down 51 pounds since last December. Wasn't a healthy way down, but I'm working on keeping it off and losing more. Goal is to get below 200! I'm not a clean eater all the time , but working on the calories. As a chemical engineer, I realize its all mass in - mass out. I'm hoping to get more MFP friends to keep me motivated. I'm lifting 2X a week and running another 2 (3 miles and 5 miles). Hoping to get stronger and leaner. Add me!4
