Well I have 10 years on you both, I did very well here 7 + years ago but life took over, lots of things, put all my weight back on, wasn't at all accountable to me, no exercise. So now 7 years later I plan to start again. First some pounds then ease into walking again. I can hardly believe that I was walking 3-4 miles…

SW: 225 lbs CW 225 lbs Height 5 FT 6 My goal is to do this right this time. Eat 3 meals and have two snacks. Today is day 1..First lesson. I had my breakfast at this computer while reading this forum. Ate two eggs and two pieces of bacon. Have no idea when I ate that 2nd piece of bacon. :( New though.. For now on eat at…

I just happened to stroll to this thread. My daughter single and 32 is 306 lbs. She really needs to lose, has a fatty liver and having some other complications (minor t this time) due to her weight. Also she has never dated. She and I have thought about the gastric sleeve for her but she is scared and so am I. Thank for…

I am 68. I went on this journey tow years ago and lost 60 lbs with the help of nutrisystem. While it works its not good from as I love real food and sweets. So little by little I have gainThe surgery and recovery went very well as I was walking and had the weight loss. Now after putting it back on my knee is somewhat…

Yes many of us have been where you are and many still are. So welcome aboard. I have found you have to do this for you, for your health and for your well being.I find when I lose weight I feel better, I can do more of the things I want to do. I enjoy walking now, I put some headphones on take an hour for me and just walk.…

Well this week I'm finally back at it after a large weight gain. In the beginning even though I tracked my food I went back to my old eating habits, sweets sweets n carbs. I was on nutrisystem but when I went back to regular food I found I could not handle portion control. I still can't seem too. So for now I will eat pre…

Since my knee surgery back in April I've gone to PT and now joined the silver slippers. I don't actually go with the silver slippers I am doing what my trainer suggested, I took a few sessions to learn. Yesterday was a good day for me I did 3 miles @3 mph @ 4% incline. Thats a 1st. then I did 15 min level 2 on recumbent…

So far I think my house is accident free except I need to pay attentions to the cats who seem to have developed a habit of running just ahead of me when I am walking thru a room. Have to watch out for them.

I soon turn 66. Been on mfp on and off but strictly since Sept 16. I've lost about 60 lbs was more but just got tired of watching what I eat and measuring so I gained about 18 lbs back. I can feel it in my clothing. So today I have vowed to get back on track. Been vowing to do so but something always gets in my…

My goal this month is to get back on track with my eating. No more snack foods as though I can fit them into my calorie intake I tend not to stop eating them and over eat each and every time. I've been afraid to get on the scale again. I'm going to do a Wednesday weigh in though and I think it may jut give me the wake up…

Very informative videos. I must say though the squats they have had me doing at PT are very modified, lol first I was holding the bar but I can now without. And my squat is not nearly as low as those in the video, but I did it. They have had me do 20 in two sets of 10. I haven't been good at doing them at home but thanks…

Sounds like a good plan. I like the squats though I'm not very good and I've been neglecting these but they were part of my pt so it will be a good challenge for me to keep up with them.

There are people on here and another who also has a hip replacement coming shortly. I had a total knee replacement in April. I'm walking without assistance however I'm not "normal" yet. I'm not in pain though still have tingling, squeezing feelings in my lower leg but the knee doesn't hurt, LOL They told me it will take 6…

Yes I know there are items I just should not bring in the house. I really have to stop, but I've missed them but I find I can't control the portions so I think its all gone now so I should be ok. I was doing nutrisystem foods, which is good for me as they are all portioned. Going to get back to that for awhile but rankly…

I think this is a good idea. Though admittedly I have not written anything down. For now I am w working still on logging and doing it more accurately which I have been lacking at doing. Too much eyeballing and trying to remember. But I am grateful for everyday and for feeling better each day too.

Oh wow thats a great list. I've been good Sept 2016 thru April 2017 since then I'm struggling and finding ways to eat everything in sight. I have 10 lbs to reach my goal but after losing 70 lbs I tell myself I can have a cheat day but thats doesn't last one day. Time to get accurately logging.

wandakc..good job on the walking a mile. I've been doing a mile in the AM and weather permitting another in the PM. This week I upped the AM to 2 miles., but its a bit too much so I'm scaling it back some. I am feeling like my body is getting bigger instead of shrinking so I think though my weight goes up and down I really…

whew yesterday I had pt and I hit 12,359 steps yesterday. Boy was I ever sore last night. Heel still troubling but as I force myself to walk on it it loosens up. I will take today off to rest. And to those who like to sit later in the day, thats me too I do most of my movement in the am , then about 6 the evening walk of 1…

I've been decluttering for about the past month, of course I now have a pile of give aways. When I'mm thru I will call veterans to pick up. My biggest project is my daughter had an upstairs bedroom and she want a downstairs. So we tiled her floor and got rid of old carpet. She painted the room and moved her furniture in.…

Getting closer to goal, this last 10 pounds I've been playing with on and off the last two months. Got to get better and get rid of it. Trying to stay back on track today. Even though most days I'm staying within calorie its not working guess I'm having too many carbs. Carbs do not like me.

the medalist Thankyou for your kind comments. Saturday...hit my goal , today not so sure how it will go but I'll keep at it. This darn heel pain is worse than my knee. Ugh.

OK Friday. .. 7374 steps so I did not make my goal. My excuse is I had pt in morning then shopping so my walk was in the evening. I can do about 1 mile and a half at a time. Today I will do better as soon as I finish my morning coffee I'm off to do my am walk. Then this afternoon I do another.

LOL not logging so it doesn't count.hmm I like that one but unfortunately it bites. LOL I need to be more accurate in my logging. I've be3en doing a bit too much eyeballing instead of actually measuring an that too makes a big difference. At least my eyeballing. LOL

Thanks, yes we all have those issues and we are all working together within our own unique styles. I feel really good. Thanks for doing these challenges and helping to keep one another focused on better health.

My fit bit finally caught up with my dashboard so Wednesday ..10740 steps Thursday......10881 steps little baby steps...just getting back to 10,000 I feel accomplished. I'm not going to push for much more at this time just want to try and get those in. Will have a late start today since I have PT but I'm going for it. It…

Everyone is doing great! I was able to walk 2x yesterday am?pm and managed to get my steps in and hit my 10,000 steps. Just looked at my log and it didn't sync at least not yet but my fit bit congratulated me so I know it was done. I walked 2x am and pm, seems that is what I will need to do to reach my goal. This morning…

everyone is doing well I see I finally hit 10,000 steps yesterday. Now to keep it up. Having some foot problems now on top of everything.

I; here, its been raining and raining. Today is brighter and its not suppose to rain. We need a break from it. Hopefully today I'll get some walks in after PT. Wishing everyone a good day.

7346 steps yesterday so I'm under but considering it rained most the entire day...I'll take it. Today its not raining and hopefully it will not. Well I'm off to PT, my knee is feeling much better today too.

Good job everyone, we can all do this. Yesterday I only managed 7907, rain, pt hindered me, however I managed to walk upstairs 2x to help my daughter move her things downstairs. Her room was upstairs but we have an extra room on the lower level and she wanted this. So. Today is another day of rain, but i will try to get…
