I use this simple recipe for wings. After using this a couple times, I do find I like to broil them at the end for extra crispiness.

50 min. Strength training moderate
33 min. Elliptical 3.57 miles
Strength and reps are going up this week but miles for cardio are going down. It is kind of frustrating as seem to reach a low level of fitness and find it really difficult to improve.3 -
Maybe this needs to be said, so here goes. No one will criticize you if you overeat, eat processed food or gain weight! We have all been there. People in this group will offer support and suggest strategies that worked for them.
Please come here each day and post what feels comfortable or ask a question. Think of being part of this group as being a fire. When an ember. leaves. the fire, often times, it quickly burns out. When it stays in the fire, the ember will continue to burn. Often times, my motivation is nonexistent. After a quick read of posts here I feel recharged. Admit that haven’t been the greatest poster but will work on it.5 -
Question time...I am walking at a 3.35 mph pace but mfp only has 3.0 and 3.5mph. Which one would you use?0

@Beautyofdreams thank you for saying that. That is so true. Company helps.1
-
@Beautyofdreams Well said! Thank you!!
@rwood566 For me, I would use 3.0 because I like to be conservative - especially if you are going to be eating your exercise calories

Not too bad for being away from home for 10 days. I upped my calories when I was away for a maintenance range. That seemed to work pretty well. Now to set it back to the weight-loss range... We have a much, much longer trip planned starting next month. More on that later.4 -
@lindamtuck2018 I have arrived in Washington. I will be walking around the central mall waiting for you.1

@peng123 @Megan_smartiepants1970 thank you for the info. I don't eat my exercise calories.3 -
Hello everyone,
Sorry that I have been MIA for several days. Unfortunately, the docs decided to hospitalize me due to the out of control blood pressure. They were afraid of a stroke I guess. Anyway, spending most of a week in bed, with little control over my intake made things a bit interesting. So I did not get much exercise in, and was right at it slightly over calorie wise most days. Still I am down a pound this week.
But hopefully with the new cocktail of meds, the blood pressure will not sky rocket again. So I can get back in the swing of things next week.

Happy Saturday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:
3/11:
Calories: 1,095
Exercise: 70 minutes elliptical
Steps: 15,110
I ran out of fruit so I didn't get as many calories as I should have - but today is my shopping day and I will make sure I purchase extra for this week. I have been sweet-free for almost two weeks and it hasn't been a problem at all - which is a surprise to me! I have a busy day planned with the Humane Society today - so I should get lots of steps.
@tuxado I'm so sorry that you have been in the hospital - I hope you feel better soon!
Have a great day, everyone!

New Challenge!
Hi Everyone! Great job with this week's challenge - traveling around the word was very fun! Beginning tomorrow, we will have a new challenge: it's "armed and dangerous" week! We are going to ask everyone to do some sort of arm exercise each day and report back to let us know which ones you are doing. I definitely need to start doing more arm exercises - so I'm excited about this challenge - can't wait to see how we all do!3 -

I am thinking I am at the bottom. I am bouncing within 2 lbs. My skin consult was moved up to the 21st. I hope they accept me.
Remind me what your goal weight is again? Do you want to lose much more or do you think skin removal would put you pretty close? I don’t know much about skin removal but any shows I have watched sometimes the excess skimpy can weigh 10 or 15 pounds.1 -
