I haven't bought a food scale yet but it is on my list to buy this weekend. I love my rebounder.. it is fun to jump. I do it on days it is raining and I can't make it to the gym. I also use the elliptical at home on rainy days plus my resistance bands and work out with youtube videos. I weigh myself daily too. I feel MFP…

hope I am able to find this thread again.. not too familiar with community on mfp and the email address I have used for MFP is not the one I use most often. I will try to check back here every other day. Hi PatRN52 what an amazingly determined person you are!! Sorry to hear that you have had all these health set backs.…

Hi Guys .. good to see you all so enthusiastic.. it is contagious when i see others motivated. To nynjcitygirl.. I enjoy exercising with HASFIT youtube videos when I don't feel like going to the gym in winter. There are many other videos you choose from. Today I am re-starting after 2 years as I am just back from a month…

Hi Greg.. I have returned to MFP today after 2 years. I was on vacation for a month and would like to lose the 6 lbs of weight I put on.. been snacking too much even after my return.. I need to have more self control. Just logged the banana I ate.. my first entry in 2 years. Good luck to both of us.

Figuring out how to eat a balanced diet now that we've decided to be vegetarians for lent. Feeling light headed all the time

Hummus and carrot sticks Or I shred carrots Grate like spaghetti (long) and put them a light brine... Vietnamese pickled carrot. The type they put in banh Mi sandwiches. I serve myself a small bowl full of the drained carrots Add a few drops of Sri Racha and pretend I'm eating a bowl of spaghetti... Delicious and crunchy

No matter what exercise I did I found my weight creeping up in my fifties. Last Summer I lost the twelve lbs I was eager to lose with diet and exercise. MFP made me form good habits and recognize how many calories I was consuming. I minimize consumption of bread, use little oil, eat mostly vegetables and lentils, chicken…

"Drama queen' hehe :D Then I've definitely got a drama queen knee! It groans and creaks during squats. Fortunately it's friend, left knee who's also just turned 54 is very dependable. Right calf muscle often gets tight and feels hard as a rock after exercise. Dr says it's due to not doing enough warm up before and…

Congratulations Calimom teach! That is record weight loss! You have tremendous will power to have lost so much. You're definitely an inspiration to others I am sure you also have a very supportive family or live alone. Very difficult to keep at it when everyone else in the house is eating without any concern for calories…

My coworker has begun MFP last month. His goal is to lose 150 lbs. His doctor has strongly advised him to lose the weight for the sake of his health. Everyday he walks an hour and burns 1670 calories. Is that possible? I think he has connected his fit bit to MFP .wondering if fit bit is recording accurately. Could it be…

Good luck with the transformation contest. Canadian living in Philadelphia.

Dinner - Fulka with aloo gobi, 2 kofthas in gravy and 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese which didn't go well with the Indian fare but it has few calories. 1 Strawberry and 1 ounce mango low fat yogurt for dessert.

Congratulations.. Wonderful to have what it takes to knock off the extra pounds. You look great... Even your face Is SO much slimmer. I was doing great for one month since I began but last week :( we were out of town and had to have meals at restaurants... Didn't lose any weight. I ruined my track record of 1.5 lbs loss…

Good for you! Hehe.. Does sound like torture but those back cheeks and sculpted legs are gonna attract lots of attention.

60 minutes of elliptical... HIIT for the first 20 minutes. Giving my rebounder a break for a few days coz I checked the net and found it doesn't burn as many calories as elliptical :( I missing bouncing

If you have a lot of left over calories each day and you're not hungry don't eat any more .. the result YOU LOSE MORE!!!! woo hoo :) .. I was targeting 1 lb a week but because of not consuming all the calories each day I have been losing 1.5 lbs a week! Love it. I don't find it it difficult as 40 mins on the elliptical…

Hi Mary, I am 52 too. I began MFP to support my 22 year old son who wants to lose a few pounds. He seemed really eager to give it a shot, so when he asked me to join, I agreed right away but had doubts about whether I'd stick with it. I have never dieted in my life but have been exercising for about 20 years without much…

Thank you.. Just did it.. So much easier as my sons can copy mine and save time.

Cathy here from State College.. :D My 26 yo and 22 yo sons are doing this with me.. Good luck with your goals everyone
