I'm in.

Good morning everyone! Been some time since I posted in here but making my way back to being more active and keeping on track so I can get rid of the Covid19. Feel free to add me if you like.

Sounds like a plan! Feel free to add me as a friend!

So this week I have all my meals planned out, and I'm going to make sure I log everything as accurately as possible and get my exercise in. Time to turn this ship around again!

My boredom snacking got so much worse when I started working from home, and none of it was good. I've routinely not only gone over my calories but blew right past them and didn't look back, which is why I put on the Covid19 in just a matter of a couple months. But, I'm working on righting the ship, being mindful of what I…

Well, mine is my own fault. I have all the equipment I need to work out at home along with dozens of workouts through Beachbody on Demand, I just didn't do what I needed to do. Even though I logged in daily I didn't log everything that went into my mouth like I should have because I really didn't want to see how bad it…

I've been working from home since March and realistically don't expect to go back in regularly until next spring. I go in once a week just for a sense of normalcy and some interaction. I started going back to my personal group training last month. I'm at risk due to auto-immune but we're a small group and the state I'm in…

Hello all, Been awhile since I posted in here. Working from home for the past 6 months made it too easy to make excuses not to exercise, eat poorly, and put the weight on that I had lost. So I started going back to my personal group training last month (Covid be damned), and now I'm looking to really clean up the diet and…

It's a series of small steps that take us down a different path.

I have been doing HIIT for the past 6 months, and it has made a huge difference in my strength and conditioning, and while I haven't lost as much weight as I would like, I have lost a couple of inches around the midsection. I'm not big on New Year's resolutions, but I am going to use the new year to continue focusing on…

Tomorrow starts a Double Down week for me. I had made good progress over the past few months but have stalled the past three or four weeks. Still tracking daily and attending my fitness classes, but I haven't been completing my diary daily and I've found myself grazing again out of boredom and stress. Sadly, my fitness…

Went off the reservation a little this past week due to vacation, but, did my group workout this morning and feel awesome! I also did my Vo2 testing this week and found out that I really am in poor physical conditioning, but getting better with the program I'm on. I now have my heart rate zones personalized so I know where…

Great start to the weekend! Other than the whole work thing, I was able to ride my motorcycle in since it's so nice, and not only did I go down on the scale, I spot checked my chest and waist and it would appear that I have lost about 2 inches off of each since the beginning of April. Have been slipping back into some old…

Rumor has it that we're supposed to have a decent weekend finally up here in the Northeast. I have a lot of yard work that needs to get done! I'll be burning up the calories being outside.

Interesting. I can add on the phone, but on the website it is all wonky. I tried to add one thing in for lunch and it put it in there like 20 times, and I can't delete it or add to it. And it shows I'm at 11800 calories for the day. Guess I'll use the phone until it gets straightened out. Must just be something with my…

Looks like MFP has gone off the rails this morning. Anyone else having issues with not being able to add food?

Finally getting rid of the last vestiges of the Springtime crud I came down with almost 2 weeks ago. Back to the workout classes tonight now that I can finally breathe. Looking forward to it even though I know I'm going to be extremely gassed when the hour is over. Haven't been too physical for the past week and a half or…

Yesterday after completing my log I received a message from MFP that I had not consumed enough calories for the day and that a notice wouldn't be generated that I had completed my log, nor would it count towards what I would weigh in 5 weeks. Today I have adjusted my caloric intake to make sure I hit at least 1500, but…

So far today has been very successful in staying well within my calories. It's the evening, however, when things go awry so I'll be focusing on that. Although I eat pretty healthy (meals anyway, it's the adult libations and snacking that get me), I started with my very clean eating today and will be sticking to that for…

Just found out another friend was in the hospital with CHF and Afib. A few years ago he had lost a lot of weight using MFP, but stopped, reverted back to old habits, and gained it all back. I have had R/A for 15 years and Afib for 3, caused by OSA. I've lurked on a lot of threads and I see the same posts (including my own)…

Just signed up for a 4 week transformation session with a local facility here. Even though I have all the equipment at home, and have a solid knowledge of training and diet I felt that I needed this step to kick start me in the right direction. I haven't worked with anyone before, except for a brief period about 4 years…

So, a little over two weeks since I "started" my long term health and fitness plan, I have to say I'm underwhelmed in my lack of commitment to making change. One thing I've noticed, at least with myself, is that since I turned 50 a few years ago I seem to be more resistant to breaking comfortable patterns and behaviours.…

So, I've been a little lax in completing my diary the past couple of days, and my clean(er) eating was postponed as well. But on track today and will complete my diary. So far after everything has been planned out I'm about650 calories under my 1800 intake. Will boost with an apple and some natural peanut better to get…

So, starting tomorrow I'm going with a small scale nuclear strike to boost my metabolism. Not going to use the full nuclear option just yet. No alcohol, move to black coffee, and even though I eat a good diet I'm going to go even cleaner by eliminating most carbs, but not hyper clean just yet though. If I don't see the…

I found this group thanks to a post by alteredsteve175 in another group. I would like to join in, even though I'm a little late to the party. I'm 53 (54 coming sooner than I want!), and have been an on again off again user of MFP for several years. Have about 75 lbs I need to shed, and just put a 13 month plan into action…

The struggle of the mind is the most difficult part of weight loss in my opinion. Trying to change ingrained habits and mindsets is difficult to say the least, or it is for me anyway.

So, I started reading this book, and while it contains pretty much a basic truth, calories in calories out, I really like the no nonsense approach he uses. Plain, basic terminology and straight forward. It really makes you look at weight loss and management in a different, and what I think is a more realistic, way. Thanks…
