Hi Ladies, Just touching base. Following my food plan very well. Still haven't added a regular exercise plan. Getting lots of walking in; just at work though. Scale seems to be stuck at the same number, won't budge. I've been yo-yo dieting for 30 years so I think my body knows how to hold on to the fat when I try to do…

Sounds amazing! What a bold choice to tackle something like that! I am very impressed! Thanks for showing us what is possible! Elizabeth in CA[/quote] I did the quote thing wrong... I am not doing the hike! Marci is the brave soul tackling the PCT. I was just giving her kudos. I hope to one day. All respect and admiration…

I am hiking a section of the PCT in California no less! We will begin our hike out of Mt Shasta. I love northern California and the scenery should be beautiful. The elevation is 7000 to 7400 ft for this portion. I am doing hikes at the local ski area with an elevation of 7200 to 7400 ft and in the surrounding mountains.…

Good morning ladies, Welcome to all the newcomers. I have been trying to keep up with all the new posts but this sure is a talkative group. :) So much great stuff, I wish I had more time to comment. Staying within my calories but scale doesn't seem to want to move this week. I know if I stay consistent it has to…

I recommend blueberries and raspberries. They are both low carb and high fiber. Full of good nutrients and pretty satisfying without adding a ton of fruity sugar. If you need more calories, add them to yogurt and you get more vitamins and a little protein.

Marci, You are so lucky!! I wish I could do that hike with you. I live in Bakersfield and there is a section of the trail that passes right through the mountains just east of me. I was thinking of tackling that portion in the fall. Are you doing anything in particular to train for the hike? What is the altitude of the part…

Thanks for the encouraging words. On a positive note, I have been under my calories for most days and so MFP admonishes me for not eating enough. Yesterday and today, during my binge, it said that if I keep it up I will lose 7 lbs in 5 weeks. Maybe it wasn't as terrible as it felt. The earth continued to turn on it's axis…

Morning ladies, I really over-indulged yesterday. My daughter was in Orange County and offered to pick up food at one of my old favorites and bring it home to me in Bakersfield. I texted back, NO thanks. She called me, again I said no thanks, and then she said "when is the next time you are going to be able to...." I…

I work in furniture sales so I walk 3 to 5 miles every day. I live in Bakersfield California. It is hot and dry and hot! I have tons of workout equipment and…
