Welcome Sea Cliff

Welcome to mfp, this is a great site roam around check out your tab's. and don't forget to do your dairy for food and exercise. :happy:
O.K. so there's allot going on recipe broad's games and team's and club's . If you would like to post on a club or a team that is different from our's. It is alway's nice to ask. Some team's don't mind at all but some have you wait until there is an opening there on a mission if it where.
Also you can introduce yourself to the whole site at once that's is up to you.
You can find a weight loss ticker in tools and post it with your name when you post. If not that's fine also.
There are allot of nice wonderful people here some have lost over 200 pounds and some have lost 10 . Also some are here to just cheer us on. So no matter how much you want to lose we are all here for the same reason a heathy life.
Take time look around and ask any one if you have a question. I forgot one thing people are allowed to post with us also. They will see us as a team but if they choose they can leave a messege..
When everyone is here and ready maybe MS. O I mean Elaine can give us a summer kick off :happy:

    Mary,
    swimming is one of the best exercises because you work so many muscles and it is non weight bearing. Plus it cools you off! Keep it up!!
    Have you looked at exercise tv yet on the internet??

    Mary,
    Have you checked out the YMCA? It has a great pool, fitness center, awesome programs for adults and kids. it even has a Fit Kid program for pre-tyeens and teens.
    I love swimming, it works the whole body and no stress on the joints! I usually swim 2x/week at the ymca but I also have a pool at home that I use in the summer!
    Have you checked out exercise tv yet? on the internet? You can get some different ideas on exercises to do. Keep up the good work and keep your eye on the prize!

    Hi Eileen I think we are the only's on here:happy:
    I don't have a ymca near my house . IT is in glen cove and It take's me 30 min. to get there. so I am looking near me.
    Yes I love the swimming I was wondering you swim all year long I think that's cool.
    IThe execrise tv is so cool and I tried some of the biggest loser which is way harder then I thought so I am trying. Still having a hard time with the food I am getting bored of eating the same thing all the time. So I asked the girls on my thread for help and they have been wonderful
    So I will do what you said keep my eye's on the prize. I also made sure I can use my niece's lap top while we are away this way I can stay on track.
    Well i hope your getting som sun. This rain has to go.
    take care and thank you for all your help You have been so wonderful:flowerforyou:

    Hi Mary, Eileen and Margie,

    Summer is off to a flying start here in Bayville. I finish at Home Fries at 6:30 a.m. and don't have to start at Little People till 9:30 or 10 depending on the day so with that in mind I go for a walk every morning around Bayville. Today I walked down to Ransom beach and turned around and continued to the other end of town. I haven't clock it yet but I think it might be around 3 or 4 miles. I love this place... As long as the weather continues to cooperate, I plan on making this my daily routine. This week I hope to start taking the kids to the pool and that will really put my bed time to around 8. I hope you all are good and I hope to talk to you soon...


    :wink: Pat

    Hi Pat Your picture looks great. A big wow for the walking. That's allot of step's. It sounds like bayville is a wonderful place. I hope for all of us the weather stay's nice.
    thank you Eileen I had no idea that many place's had pools around here. I have lived here coming on 6 years now and I still feel like I just moved here. I will take time to look at all the places and see which one will be the best cost for me. I need it come this winter. I love the pool I found a website which shows you how to do execrise in the pool and I got a video on the was. Also congrats on your loss . Another pound that great .:glasses:
    Hey Margie What you been up to
    I hope everyone has a very happy 4th:happy:

    Dear Mary, Eileen and Margie, I can not believe it , but I drove the route that I have been walking today ,and one route I take is 5 1/2 miles and the other is 3 1/2 miles. I guess I lost track when I was walking. Hopefully all this walking will turn into some weight loss. I hope everyone enjoys their week. Swimming sounds great Mary, keep it up. I too went swimming today but it was in the sound. A little chilly but it still felt great. Take care. Pat:glasses:

    Hi All,
    Pat I am so excited you are on!!!
    I am also happy you have some time to yourself after Home Fries to walk, swim or whatever!
    Awesome job on the walking...5 1/2 miles?? That's amazing! Bayville must be beautiful now! I don't know about swimming in the sound yet...it is still too cold to even get in my pool!!!
    How is the weight loss going?

    Mary,
    I know alot of the Plainedge area because my partner Kathy grew up there and her mom and brother still live there!
    You have some time to check everything out!

    How did everyone do with the Fourth of July B-B-Q's??

    :smile: Ok....so I am here, but a bit crazed....we have had company just about EVERY day since school has been out....so much for exercise and eating healthy.

    Anyway, today I am without a car and company, so after cleaning and some paperwork, I'm going in the pool for a swim. Ahhhh, it's already 12...I'd better get going...

    I'm so proud of you all...keep up the great work!!:flowerforyou:

    Mary,
    Have a wonderful time in Disney...try to wear your pedometer, you will be surprised how many steps you will walk!
    Remember to keep your eye on the prize, eat alot of fruits, salads, vegetables. Stay away from sugars, pasts and breads. With that being said.....treat yourself 2-3x to something you really want to eat, just try to plan for it. The rest of the day eat light, or plan to eat lighter the next day. Also if possible try to use a the exercise bands and do some strength training.
    Most important.....HAVE FUN WITH YOUR FAMILY!!!!

    :smile: DISNEY....my favorite place in the entire world!!!! You will have a wonderful time. It's going to be HOT, so drink water, water, water!!! Don't miss the stunt driver show at Disney Studios. It's great and the kids will love it!!!


    We ususally stay at a Disney hotel. If you do, this is how we get the most in with the children. We grab a quick breakfast at the cafeteria, then right into the park. Usually the one that was open late the night before because it's empty. Around lunch and the hotttest time of the day, we head back to the hotel and swim. Then freshen up and back to the parks around dinner. Hit all the rides while people are at dinner.

    If you are at the Magic Kingdom for the fireworks, stand on the bridge that leads to Tomorrowland. Tinkerbell will come out of one of the castle towers and fly right over head. She's a real person and it is soooooo cool. She goes from the top of the castle to behind Tomorowland!

    Like Eileen says, where your pedometer! You WILL walk A LOT!!!!!!

    Have fun!!!!
    Margie

    Have fun Mary!
    Don'r worry...you will do great.....just be "mindful" of what you are eating, and "treat yourself" so you don't feel like you are missing out!

    Hey Marge...how are things going with you?
    What are you up to???

    Hey -- It's Karen --- i just signed on for the first time. Mary - Thanks for getting this going. I feel like it has been months since we have been in school. Walking everywhere - especially in Southampton and with my puppy at home... a great stress reliever. Speaking of stress, Sara -almost 14 -- decided to have a boyfriend and become a "skater girl "all in one week. I had hoped I wouldn't get into this stuff until Eliana went to college. Oh well! The stress has not effected my eating.
    Back to me--- Today is my first day at the gym since school has ended. Walking is not enough. Eating well is not enough. Also, when I am at home I realize I don't drink as much water as when I am at school. I am getting on the scale today. I should have been doing it every Wednesday. I don't think I lost or gained. Sounds like everyone is having a good summer. Enjoy your time. TTYL

    Hi Karen,
    Great to hear from you!
    You know Sara will always keep you on your toes...that is her JOB!!!
    Back to you.... I am proud of you for getting refocused and realizing you need to do more!
    Summer is the best time to try something new to rev your metabolism. Try playing tennis with the kids, go for a swim, kayaking or.....get to the gym and do strength traing 3x/week, just don't forget you need the cardio too!
    Stay in touch, let us know how you are doing!
    Eileen
