Ridiculous59:: What is a dragon boat team? I kayak on our lake here in Michigan , but to second your comment, sadly the dock and boats are out of the water. Although, we had a 75 degree day today. On Nov 1st!! Woohoo Also, I noted that you spelled Elated correctly. My screen name is actually an amalgam of the…

Give us the details on your great success!!!

2012retiree: I am feeling the same way! Could be the cooler weather and shorter days! But I renew my vow each morning to have a stellar day! I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and joining a gym. I love swimming so that is a bonus. I should get the OK from my PT soon to start strength training. I have weights at home but…

What is everyones current favorite form of exercise? I am still walking and slowly adding strength training.

How is everyone doing? Happy Halloween.

Quiet and Kullerva. Sugar free strawberry jello ( 10 calories) with Chocolate Redi Wip( 15 calories). It satisfies the sweet tooth big time!!!

STLBADGIRL: Did I miss your vision board? Great Idea, btw. I have been wanting to do that for some time I will get on that today! There is great power in keeping your goals/ dreams constantly in your sight!

This couldn't have been a better thread to read today. I too felt very discouraged as of late! Motivation was lacking and I was regaining some of the weight. There is some rock solid stellar advice here. I am going to take some pics of some of the advice above so I can look at it often! The MFP community is invaluable. You…

Thank you spikey hair. I too, every morning, read the message boards for inspiration but it can wane by evening. Are you still in weight loss mode?

Good morning All! I could use some support on this fine Monday morning. I need to jump start the weight loss again. I have gained back 10 of the 30 that I lost! I have had some health issues that have slowed me down and given me a reason to sit and eat more! But I am recommitting today and sure could use some MFP friends…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Trina: You make an excellent point. I too am watching my sodium, not for bp, mine is low, but for inner ear issues and eating out anywhere is a sodium nightmare! Trina, did you stall at certain points? If so , how did you remotivate yourself? Glad this thread is ALIVE again!

Nlevesque11887- WOW!! You are amazing! Thank you for the feedback and advice. Anyone who has been doing this for almost 2 years with such great success is worth listening to! Truly, I cannot discern why the motivation has waned. I have more to lose. You are an excellent role model and have motivated me. Thank you!

62 and down 30 lbs but am currently stalled. After eating at 1200 calories for over a year, it gets challenging to stay motivated. It seems that I am fighting tooth and nail daily to be disciplined. So those of you that have done this successfully for years, please share some wisdom!

Bonny132. That is awesome! I assume that you mean low carb/ high fiber? Give us a sample of a daily menu. You are wise to choose the more filling foods. I'm not always in that mindset but need to be

Found Fantastic Five. Just search the name under Community. It pops up

Jopalis:: where do I find the Fantastic Five Group?

Congrats! You have worked so hard.

Great job!! Your loss adds up to approximately 3 lbs a week. Thats really good. At my best, Ive only done that rarely. Please share how you had that significant of weight loss that fast??

Depending on how long you've done MFP, you get pretty good at how to eat relatively healthy. I typically try to still log a bit when on vacation. Just to keep in that mindset. You need to enjoy yourself and get back on track when you return home. But the most important thing that saves me is moving more. I am sure you will…

Hello Resina! Welcome! This message board is great for support and motivation. Age is not a factor when it comes to getting healthy, getting fit and losing weight. I am constsntly amazed by these women. Have you been using MFP for daily logging or something else? Join us over 60 or younger group to help support you with…

You are so inspiring. You look amazing!!!

LLbrixin:: 40 lbs in 9 months is awesome!! That'ss over a pound a week. Good job! I wrote this yesterday but it didnt show up to Griffin CA. I will listen to your advice on starting slowly with strength training. You are my hero. I know youv'e been at it for awhile! Your diary is not open though, it is private.

Thank you all for the great suggestions and renewed motivation. Funny that the Fast Metabolism Diet was mentioned above. My neighbor just mentioned that to me on our walk this morning. I'll take a look at that book on Womens Fitness ( written by a man??

Good morning all! You have all been very quiet for some time. Well I never got to the arm challenge. But I retire this month and hope to have the time to add strength training to my routine. What are you all doing out there for exercise and good health? Ive been holding at 30 lb weight loss and my BMI is good but I need to…

I am up for the arm challenge as well. Give us a link. Also , for great inspiration, read, What Makes Olga Run!

Ridiculous 59. Good advice. Which MFP group do you check in with every day? That sounds like good support!
