This week I walked/peddled 19.7 miles. I started SL 5x5 so I didn't walk as much.

10 December 9284 steps - 3.3 miles @rhaiin - It is amazing how much we move cleaning house. @picasso66 - What a fun way to get your steps in. @spikeyhair & @KariBush78 - Way to go ladies! @ThatUserNameIsAllReadyTaken - I am so sorry for your loss. Like you I wouldn't want a fitness tracker. Amazon, eBay, and Walmart all…

When I first started tracking I was shocked at how much I ate too. I set a goal for myself to eat less each day and trying to eat in a more balanced way. I didn't cut anything out of my diet, I just starting eating less and added in more fruits and veggies.

Good afternoon ladies :) @cbabie - I would always tell my boyfriends what to expect from my dysfunctional family, it was embarrassing but better than the boys not being prepared. I was not allowed out with a guy unless he came in and met the folks. I have had the same rule with the kids but considering what I went through,…

Happy Friday ladies! The youngest (16) brought her first boyfriend home for supper tonight. I forgot that she was bringing him home and made grilled Dijon dill tuna steaks, roasted Brussels sprouts, and baked potatoes for supper. Thankfully he is either very polite or enjoyed what I made because he ate well. He seems like…

@rhaiin - Oh you were so close! Like you said though, you lay down your phone sometimes, so I am sure you got 6k in.

Good evening ladies, @theslightedgeforever - I hope your mouth is starting to feel better. <3 @cbabie - The book sounds interesting. I ordered it from half.com. As far as day to day stress I rarely suffer from it. In the last few years I have realized there is a whole lot I cannot control so I no longer fret about it. I…

@rhaiin - It looks like you have a good start to your goal. I too was using my phone too and laying it down. I got a cheap clip-on pedometer for six or seven dollars to keep track of my steps. It is nothing fancy and I don't miss out on any steps.

Logging accurately and staying within my calories.

Good evening ladies, We got through hump day, Yay! @cbabie - I love it a struggle in 3D! I will need to tuck that away and use it with one of my teenagers. Good for you getting your exercise in. Happy Birthday, may the next year be all you want it to be. <3 @peruviansweetie - sending happy thoughts your way. @trooworld - I…

Hi everyone, @theslightedgeforever - I like mustard and have like six different kinds at 1 tsp for 5 calories, I have horseradish, Siracha, and several oriental sauces that are all low calorie for a tsp to TBSP which I mix in with my tuna. I love mixing hard boiled egg and/or avacodo in with tuna as well. But right now…

5 December 2909 steps - 1 mile Wow everyone is doing a great job, keep up the good work! :)

Good Evening ladies, I hope everyone's Monday went smoothly. @trooworld - Yay, you go with your snacks! Your snacks look yummy and very appealing. I too am a visual eater. I love red grapes. @gemwolf110 - It sounds like you are going to have a nice time decorating your tree. I bet your fur baby is going to love her first…

I understand where you are coming from. It is really frustrating and depressing. I am re losing 35 pounds to get to where I was. I just remind myself it didn't come off quick the first time and I want to make sure that I am healthy while I am doing it. Be kind to yourself and just do the best you can.

If you care about yourself enough to eat what you think is best for you, why would you abuse your body by dehydrating it in a sauna suit and trying to lose weight quickly? Losing a lot of weight quickly is not healthy. Put your numbers in to MFP and follow the recommendations.
