Think me tomorrow as I start up with my exercising again! After a week off, I'm looking forward to getting back at it...(I'll repeat that to myself as needed!) Thanks for the kind words. :)

Thanks for all the concern - I've had ultrasounds and a uterine biopsy and everything is normal...The GYN said it was just how my body is handling perimenopause - lucky me! He offered to do an ablation, but I kept putting it off. Now, at 50, I think surely this business is almost done! I should have dealt with it 10 years…

Good evening gang! I've been laying low for a few days and I'd like some advice if anyone has information on this. I apologize if it's TMI, and you are offended by female body functions, please move along - this post is not for you. So...over the last decade, due to perimenopause, my periods have gotten crazy heavy, to the…

Saddest news ever (other than just hearing today that our King's Buffet is going out of business!) ;)

Is there someone you can exercise with? Sometimes that helps to get going! Last night I did the UFCFit workout with my husband. It was tough but we both were laughing at different points because it was difficult and we couldn't get the moves right. It sure made the time go by fast! I also like walking with a buddy - I go…

I have been eating whole foods - steel cut oats, brown rice, quinoa, usually nothing with any added sugar - unsweetened yoghurt, only 2 fruit servings per day, make my own pasta sauce from scratch (Bob's Marinara from "Jumpstart to Skinny" - it's really yummy!"), watching fats - lean meats, no cheese, skim milk products…

I was excited to weigh myself this morning and see another 5 lb drop in 2 weeks. That makes 20 total since I started in January, and it really shows me that logging/restricting calories and exercising regularly really is the key to losing and maintaining! In the past I have lost weight numerous times but have never…

I don't weigh myself every week so that I will have a more impressive loss when I do weigh in. It's a total mind game, but it works for me!

Good for you! Being in a desk job is really difficult, but try to find ways to get more steps into your day. I purposely use the bathrooms on a different floor so that I will be forced to go up and down the stairs a couple times a day (more if I drink too much water, lol). Instead of calling my colleague I will go and…

Thanks, guys. I had lots of energy for my workout today (no doubt from those cookies sitting in my system) so I did an hour of cardio and half an hour of yoga. Unfortunately that nowhere comes close to burning off the extra calories. Live and learn. (They were delicious though! :))

Good morning all, I need a pep talk today. I have been doing so well for the past 43 days! Exercising every day, logging my calories, and I'm usually under 1200 and ok with that. Yesterday, I'm not sure what happened, but I woke up really hungry. (Was that related to going out for a nice supper with hubby on Thursday…

Good evening, all! I went out for an early Valentine's day meal with my true love to a wonderful gourmet restaurant. I did 2 workouts to try and get some extra calories - I had over 1000 to spare going into the meal, but looks like I still went over! How do you guys manage to do it?

I went to Dollerama and picked up some new video DVDs - I was pretty excited to try the new Firm Cardio Dance, but only made it to 40 minutes before I was done in but finished up with some cool-down and stretching, which took it to 60 minutes. I like lots of variety and I'm trying to really commit to daily exercise.…

Ok, the cake won... but I cut it in half, and scraped off half the icing. Take that, you dessert-masquerading-as-a-vegetable!

I think to join, you just start posting, so post away! I am currently in a staredown with the last piece of carrot cake. It's anyone's guess who is going to win.

My first confession is that my oven broke sometime in the fall, and I haven't got it fixed because I figure this way I won't be tempted to bake. It's amazing how much you can get done with a pressure cooker, crock pot, stove top and microwave! My second confession is that I am afraid of Jillian Michaels and have never done…

Hi and thanks for the welcome Today is usually my day of rest but an old friend came for a visit yesterday and brought (and left) an entire carrot cake. Now it is just me and hubby at home (empty nest since January 4) so I figured I better burn some calories so I don't end up in the red at the end of the day! 38 minutes of…

Greetings from the snowy north, I have one month left of being in my 40s and I have been on MFP since New Years. I'm down 15lbs but I have 60lbs to go! Looking for some support and a kick-in-the-pants when necessary. :) I'd like to hang out here. :)
