    Well after the birthday weekend, went a little off piste and subsequently put 3lb back on I have got to get back on track. Food logging is paramount for me else I just miss the little bits and pieces that I may eat during the day. The diary is open for all to see and happy to make friends with all to help out where I can.


    I’m trying to post everything I eat even on days I go off the rails. Now THAT can be depressing 😂😂

    So do I. But if I'm really honest, when I go off the rails, I don't usually close my diary as I don't really want to draw attention to it in my Newsfeed. When I have a very good healthy day I smugly showcase this by closing off the diary :p

    Lol lol lol!!!!!!
    Same 😂❤️

    59 here and I am looking to be in peak condition at 60!
    Doing some retirement planning for my health. My biggest struggle is the diet. I’ve lost 50 pounds. Then just before Thanksgiving I slacked off a little and gained 10 back so here I am looking to drop about 15 more pounds and then maintain. As far as exercise goes; I love to lift weights. I kind of become an addiction at this point. I am fortunate to have a small gym space in my home to do my 4:30am workouts.
    Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like to!
  • Hey everyone, It seem like the older we get the harder it is to have that energy to push ourselves...I'm only 31 , 2017-2018 I was working out but due to work I started to fade away from the gym and now I'm here ready to get back 💪

    Hello! I am not new to MFP, but I have not been as active on MFP as I was in the past. I just turned 45. I finally got back into the habit of exercise consistently. I would love the support of more MFP friends!

    That's a very attainable goal. The really hard part is figuring out how to dress for the cold during these next few months. Good luck!

    Fantastic going @jwilliams9082 ! Preplanning and logging really is a game changer. Like you said, just the awareness is such a big thing.

    Happy Monday everyone!

    Absolutely baltic here in Ireland, car was frozen solid this morning. I'm in the office with a blower heater and a fleece on and I'm still freezing!

    I got myself new trainers, asics and took them on a looong walk on Saturday. I noticed they were rubbing my heels a little so when I was near a shopping centre I bought some blister plasters so I could continue on. All went well, no pain. But right now I have the largest blisters on the backs of my heels ever. They are ginormous. And strangely enough, they don't hurt, but I still haven't pulled the plasters off :D
