Exchanging Pride for Grace
Why am I sharing this? Because many people think just because they mess up, their journey is over, or they are failures. It doesn't have to be that way. I've dropped 10 pounds (mostly water weight) since my doc appointment March 20th. I realized I don't need a 1200 calorie diet to lose weight right now, I am 5'1" and…

Weight Loss Drugs and Strength
I had an eye opening experience with these drugs. My sister in law is T2 diabetic and severe fatty liver disease so she was put on a GLP-1 prescription. She’s lost about 40 pounds or so. When she started I wished her good luck and encouraged her to lift weights. Of course that never happened. Yesterday we were at my mother…

Not letting my job get in the way
I’m back here after a 10 month hiatus. I had been doing amazingly well, losing weight at a comfortable pace, feeling good . . . and then I started a very demanding, intense job (same workplace) and let it all go. I hadn’t even realized that my last login coincided almost immediately with the start of the job. And I have…

Starting my journey

I wasn’t the ideal weight to begin with so I’m looking to lose about 25 lbs or so. Trying to get my sugar down as well hopefully. I like to workout…

Social Media : Good? Bad? Indifferent?
How do you feel about social media? How has it affected you, for good or for bad? Other than MFP, I’ve only done Facebook, but dropped off it about three years ago, after turning over the reins as “Communications Chair” for our HOA. I no longer needed to be on it every day. (No I couldn’t keep your neighbor’s dog from…

It’s Mind Boggling How Much Sodium Is In Our Food
So I went to my doctors a few weeks ago and he told me how I had High Blood Pressure, it wasn’t very high, just slightly over the normal range, but serious none the less. He tells me how if I don’t worry about it now, it will just lead me to having all kinds of health issues in the near future. He says I needed to eat more…

Starvation Mode - Adaptive Thermogenesis and Weight Loss
I’ve read many times that Starvation Mode is a myth or that it isn’t - while this irks me, it isn’t sufficient to push me to just add more noise to the debate. I recently read an interesting article that reviewed different aspects of adaptive thermogenesis, thinking it might be of interest to others, I’ve written a…

Lip Syncing During Cardio
Thought I’d share something that has really been helping me during cardio- lip syncing to my favorite songs! I probably look like a total weirdo in the gym (thankfully there’s only ever like 2 other people there) but I truly think it helps. It seems to help me control my breathing better and not get winded quickly. It also…

Exercise pre surgery?
Hi, in just under two weeks I'll be having laparascopic abdominal surgery. Since July of last year I've been pretty consistent with working out 4 or 5 days a week (beachbody 21 day fix real time), and my strength and fitness has definitely improved. In the last month or two I have been less consistent and taken gaps of…

So I was looking for one in the App Store and the first free one I found doesn't pick up steps from my watch. Annoying! So I tried a different one, it's only free for a week?! then it charges me every week!
