I drink my protein shakes to supplement what I’m not in taking orally. Tolerating solids change day to day. The other thing I eat is fage 0% yogurt mixed with unsweetened almond milk. That’s 20g protein. For water I drink my first 8oz when I wake up. Drink a shake at 0700. Water 8oz at 0800. Egg whites and turkey sausage…

Enell is the best sports bra I have ever invested in. Since seeing on the Oprah show years ago, I stayed with them so if you're working out and have the rubbing or lack of support issue then try enell.com sports bras.

Well good evening Cool kids, I went to the gym this morning and didn't have time to post so I am posting now. It looks like everyone had a good day both physically and mentally including me too. I started the day off with a nice work out this morning and a busy day at work. I just have to keep on keeping on with this…

Good morning Cool Kids, Finally able to sit down and post. It's been very busy at work, long days. I have been up to the gym by 4:30am so I can get my work out in since my work days are longer and busier. Like Caramel & Curious, I am really trying to get the eating/snacking on sweets no less, under control. So I feel the…

Good evening all cool kids, Looks like most of you are getting very cold temperatures. Here is in Tx we are hitting the 40's and I am grateful to be away from WI where it is -20. Hopefully my son stays warm though. Stay warm, those of you who are in the cold. I hit the gym earlier this morning at 4:30 am and got in…

Hey Cool Kids, Larro I hope you enjoy the hot tub and reading. I hear ya about not being able to put down a good book. I did that a lot and lost a lot of sleep. Lol. I slept like I was in a coma last night and was very rested and less sore this morning so the tub did it's magic. Caramel - I hope the cold moves soon. I…

Good evening everyone, I finally am able to sit down and post. I had a very emotionally challenging day and I don't know why but I did manage to make it to the gym still. I am constantly reminding myself I am on a journey and eventually I will get to a destination that I can appreciate. I just want this body to get in gear…

Good Morning Cool kids, my day is about to get started. I'm waiting on the Dish Network people to come and install my other box so I don't have to be imprisoned watching the stuff my husband is watching. He has joined me here in Tx finally and now I have to get readjusted to not being the only one in the house. Lol. Once…

Happy New Year everyone. I fell asleep before counting it in, my body is on autopilot and follows the routine of bed early and up early. I will be in the gym in a little bit and I hope everyone has a bless one. I hope to reach my goal of being physically fit, staying fit and eating healthier. I must do this because I am…

Hey Cool Kids, sorry I have been missing in action with posting. My work life has been out of control and add to the holiday craziness as everyone has been talking about had me fighting to stay in control with working out and eating right. I managed to avoid a lot of junk and when I did eat something unhealthy I stayed in…

I got my 53 minutes of cardiovascular done finally today. 20 of the minutes was interval running and the other on the elliptical. Believe me I needed to do it considering I have been doing more snacking then I wanted to dang it. Well KellyS take your time with getting things in order. I am learning that enjoying a journey…

Well good morning Cool kids, Whew! I am glad to make it to the end of the week. It was a very busy one at work. Thankfully the stress of the week and busyness didn't allow me to want to get off track with my eating, however the only exercise was that I did a lot of walking and moving around at work. The scale showed that I…

Hello Cool kids, I have been trying to sit all day and get around to posting and finally did. I am exhaling as I type. This is one of those weeks. Larro like the picture Kate way to go on the weight lost. Curious - I am getting settled in the new home but my work life has been crazy this week. I have been unable to get to…

Hi all, finally got some internet this morning since moving on Wed. I had a busy and crazy week. After the move I had to drive to a conference for which took all of my Friday. And this Saturday I had to wait for the internet, phone and cable to be installed. Now that, that is done, I can get back to my routine. I managed…

Good Morning Cool kids Workout finished this morning, only cardio (60minutes on elliptical) because I will get heavy lifting with moving boxes and furniture, today is move day :o . Kate - keep up the great work! Larro I hoped you enjoyed your day sans wife yesterday. I know I have been enjoying my time away being that my…

Hi all, just getting a chance to check in late. I didn't get to do much reading this weekend so I enjoyed seeing what everyone was up too. Caramel- I did get to work out Saturday - Cardio consisted of rowing for 12 minutes( which is all I could tolerate Lol) and treadmill 45minutes and did some lifting. I did 50 minutes on…

Good morning cool kids, KellySue, Nick and Myk good job on the improvements. Kate hopefully you and the baby feel and stay better. Send warm well wishes your way. Larro - I finally got the laundry done after leaving work late yesterday. Caramel - I am with ya as I try to keep my meals interesting. I am trying new things…

This is awesome. I am looking forward to celebrating some of these milestones. Keep up the good work. As a nurse though, I would say see a physical therapist and they may be able to help with a lifting routine. I had to learn that the hard way when I was having difficulty running, I went to a sports clinic which their job…

Good morning cool kids KellyS - I hear ya. I will be moving next week and I have been taking little stuff at a time to the new place. The main move is coming. :# Bw - sounds cool, let us know how the new equipment is working Larro- wow! I am so holding off on doing laundry but I think I will get to it today. Caramel -…

Good Morning Cool Kids Workout done, 40 min on elliptical and a little bit of leg work on weights. Hope everyone has a good day. Will check in later on after work.

Yes I agree with everyone else. I just started the journey and I am trying to only think healthy thoughts and take it one day at a time. If I go beyond that then I am overwhelmed. I promised myself that I will look at this as a journey that will have detours and I need to enjoy the journey as I learn more about myself.

Day 2 of workout goal achieved. I am loving it! Hey cool kids I hope all are having as much excitement as I am. Welcome KimofTas - Welcome and believe me I feel the same way "Wish I had gotten my head into gear long before this". However I am embracing this time around too because I wasn't ready to do it nor would I have…

Good morning cool kids, I am logging before I go the work. I finally upheld my goal of getting into the gym bright and early this morning. 30 min on treadmill and 20 minutes on the elliptical. Feels good. Let's see what this week holds. I hope everyone had a blessed weekend. I did.

How much weight have you lost and how did you manage your motivation level?

Moved to Texas in April of this year. Looking to become more healthy. How long has everyone been logging and using MFP?

On day 32 of logging.

Hey all, Larro the food looks awesome and yummy. I think I splurged a bit today and went over on my calories by 300. This has been the first time in 31 days so I am ok with that. I will be back to watching it for the rest of the weeks. I am ok with having occasional detours without berating myself like I use to and then…

Hey all, sorry I am late making an entry but I went to work today too. I worked on thanksgiving and shared in a meal with my staff but managed to stay in my calorie goal. Great Job Larro and Kate on your wonderful weight loss journey. Caramel nice to see you are keeping on moving. Kelly Sue hopefully your husband keeps…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I plan on working so I will share a thanksgiving meal with my staff. I'd rather do that then sit around and focus on what foods I should or shouldn't eat. Stay strong and eat sensibly.

I been logging for 28 days now. It is said that it takes 21 days before something becomes a habit, so that's what I did with this logging. I told myself I am on a journey which means there will be many detours, twists and turns. As long as we understand that the journey will be ongoing then we can pace ourselves. When I…
