I would like to personally welcome each and every one of you to our group. For many of us this journey back to fitness is going to be tough. We are here for each other. I can't wait to discuss various health topics and ideas with you. Feel free to start topics with your questions. This is how we learn and share. This whole…
Anyone have any recommended nutrition sites? Particularly for the "older" individual? I read so many that seem to contradict each other. Some say eat more, some say eat less etc. etc. It is confusing.
Hi, I am Steve. I started this group after a recent post in the introduction forum about a group for members who are 50 years of age or older. I thought this was a great idea to have a core group of similar age folks who might have a bit in common to have a place to gather around and chat, motivate, support and guide each…
Just need 10 more miles for August. In September I'm shooting for 100. Purchased a new bike towards the end of July. The first new one in 50 years. My how they have changed. I've noticed you still have to pedal them though. The gears click when you are going into a different gear. So far I've only used 8 of the 24 speeds,…
Anyone have any input on plant-based eating? I am not much of a meat eater at all and mostly eat chicken for my protein. In doing my research for fitness I have only searched and read scientific evidence based research on nutrition. Many of the medical professionals recommend a plant based diet. While I am unsure if I…
Really bummed when I weighed myself this week. I gained a pound over last week after a 10-pound loss. I think I am underestimating the amount of food I consume and log. Ordered a scale to weigh everything. I have to say I was shocked as I have walked 35 miles brisk pace this week and have been well under my calorie count…
Just wanted to drop in to see how everyone's progress is going? Mine is going pretty well. I had a few days with some fluctuations in weight but weighed today and saw another 2 pounds loss. Still walking 5K every evening plus my regular daily steps bring me to right at 5 miles daily. Have to say I haven't felt better for a…
Just wondering if everyone stayed within their goals this weekend. I enjoyed some food that I normally wouldn't eat like a couple Bratwurst on the grill yesterday and had craft beer which I haven't enjoyed for a couple months. I knew it was going to happen so I prepared and walked double the distance I normally do daily. I…
As said, need some suggestions for low impact exercise until my way out of shape body can start to adjust. I have been doing a lot of walking and surprisingly have seen a lot of my knee pain reduce. I really need to start some other training as well through body weight training until I can swing a gym membership. That…
I'm 62 year old male. Been at this for a while but have fallen off the wagon since starting a new job. Quit smoke a while back and 41 days ago quit drinking diet drinks. I have to say I feel pretty darn good. Yet there's so much to do. I need lose around 140 lbs. So I hope to get and give inspiration. Thanks for having me.
Since I have started tracking my food in MFP I struggle with sodium intake more than anything so far. I have went over my recommended sodium intake quite a few days. I really need some ideas for low sodium meals and snacks.
