hi all. busy weekend: meal planning, shopping, cleaning yesterday. pizza for dinner and all night out dancing. this "over forty" club night on the last Saturday of the month is getting to be a regular thing and so much fun. got home at 3 am this morning and already had over 5,000 steps...lol.... hubby doesn't like going…

I'll go for the palm tree anytime - if there's still room... just got back from a brisk 30 min walk, 1.6 miles, 216 cals burned... pizza came in at 707 cals, since I skipped breakfast, I still have over 700 for dinner... that'll work.... Question: MFP always gives me extra cals based on my fitbit steps. I usually ignore…

Hi all, opted on Wednesday not to go on my treadmill and avoid possible toe or otherwise injury... Squeezed 3.25 mi in last night before bible study... felt good. WI this morning was at 190.6 :( though I do need to monitor my inches. This week was really busy, but I managed to cook every night... for lunch today I fell off…

Prayers to you, Dawn!

Happy late birthday Saltine! sounds like it was great. the roses look awesome! i think I'll try to just walk barefoot on the treadmill just to get some mileage in. had to skip walking at lunch today. am not even to 5,000 steps yet. I'll see how it feels. have a great test of the day everyone!

OUCH!!!! I think I might just go another day without... either that or just walk somewhat slow...? Thanks, SomeMorr!

Hi guys, this is the first time I'm actually on a real computer looking at this. So much nicer than on the phone... might have to make this a habit... though I am at work and should probably be doing something else.. Thanks for all the encouraging words. WI this morning was back to 190.. would still love to be closer to…

thanks Lana! much needed... xoxo

saltine - they are adorable!

boohoo.... WI this morning 191.... must have been all the champagne yesterday.... back on track... walked 1.6 miles at lunch... logged my food. came home, did my 12 min. bikini boot camp workout (yikes!!!), went to get on my treadmill and it didn't turn on!! :( seems the transformer blew a fuse... no walking tonight... I…

hi all. lana. yay on the walking. bring on the cabana boys :) tess. I feel ya. my weight finally budged today, too. not much, 190.2 to 189.4.... but after not going anywhere for a while it felt good. jbutterflylove. how did your first day go? did you start? so today was the day off the big family bbq... way too much food…

good morning, happy Saturday, happy 300, and hello to the new faces. IT'S THE WEEKEND!! *doing a little happy dance* jbutterflylove - welcome. and yay to really starting today! I'm looking forward to hearing how your first day went. do tell. Saltine - really sorry about your knee. I'm curiuous: what kind of puppies do you…

tess - yay for being off blood pressure meds! Kathryn - enjoy your jeep time! seems everyone had a day off... the weather is gorgeous but I had to sit at my desk all day :( enjoyed my lunchtime walk though. spring is so beautiful over here. jumped on the treadmill after work. 3.2 miles. after dinner I convinced my DH to…

forgot to say thanks for all your inspiring and uplifting words. it's what I need. :wink:

hi everyone! welcome to the new faces. :) I've been so swamped I haven't even had time to stop by. birthday and anniversary dinners were great... but then again eating out mostly is... the scale is still at 190.2... but at least it's not going up either. I've been back on my treadmill, 3 mi every night after work (only…

Happy Wednesday. half way through yet another week. this has been my worst week since I started this journey (this time around) at the end if November. went all over my calories on the weekend. didn't even log any of my food. after the 5k I felt I "deserved" any bit of food coming my way. though I had lots of steps and…

Happy Tuesday morning all. thanks for the birthday wishes. I woke up this morning, 49 years old now and up another pound. WI at 190.2.... since I know exactly why and I am an adult now (most of the time) I'm not going to stress over it, log and prepare my food for today and get back on track... until tomorrow... when its…

hi everyone! sorry to hear about the various injuries. :( hope and pray you all heal well and good so you can be back to your whole selves soon. I've had a pretty busy weekend... did my 5k freedom run and came in at 43 min for 5.3 km. pretty darn proud of myself! (*grins from ear to ear*) am hurting today though... my…

good morning Lana and everyone else. i did not take any measurements this time. probably should have. the weight hasn't moved in a few weeks... it's just frustrating. though I do feel great and my clothes fit good... I probably shouldn't complain. but I'd LOVE to be under 180 before our vacation. I've lost almost 19 pounds…

Good evening all. hope you had a great day. I just for back from bible study so tonight I skipped my treadmill miles... but my spiritual wellbeing is important as well... I only made it to 7,600 steps... but I walked my half hour at lunch. logged my food only up to dinner... but think i stayed under my goal. weight is not…

hey everyone. it's lunchtime again. Hump day!!! came in last night at 1,300 calories, even logged my jelly beans! did lots of walking... 1.6 miles at lunch, another 2.6 on the treadmill before dinner. dinner was a curry rice cabbage skillet with chicken. so on Saturday there is a 5k fun run I would like to participate in.…

hi tilliesmom - yay on those test results!!! i am using my phone to post. also figured it might not like the emojis? anywho - it's lunchtime, just had the second half of my zucchini lasagne. now it's off for my lunchtime walk... it's quite grey out, hope I don't get rained on. the weight was back down this morning; now to…

walked 1.6 miles at lunch and 2.3 miles on the treadmill...

so why is this cutting off half of my post?

lasagne tasted great. I opted for half a portion, allowing for some garlic bread and some jelly beans for dessert.

hi all. the day is winding down over here... 1) I try to log all my food and stay around 1,500 calories. I did interval fasting (8 pm - noon) during lent and decided to stick with it. i try to eat mostly healthy food but essentially eat whatever I want and don't deprive myself of chocolate and candy. 2) I skip breakfast,…

hi all and happy Sunday. today the weather was gorgeous. cleaned the patio and patio furniture, took the dog for a long walk, colored my hair (to get rid of the grey) and just relaxed in the sun. logged all my food, though it was a bit much. a little over 1,700 cals... weight is still at 188.4... steps for today are…

Lana - I liked noom. it's about $30/month so really about what other weight loss programs cost. I found the food tracking very difficult and not very user friendly. I've been using MFP for years, sometimes more, sometimes less. I love how it has an international food database that allows me to easily log anything. also…

hi all. thanks for the warm welcome. we live near Frankfurt, so pretty central. today was the first warm day this year, mid 70s and sunshine... aired out the house, did some cleaning, a little gardening, took the dog for a walk, did my weekly grocery shopping, and walked to a nearby restaurant with my hubby for dinner. all…

hi. I've been dieting my whole adult life (or so it seems) each time starting out heavier than the time before. tried it all... am doing pretty good right now, but need some support and motivation. I signed up with Noom in December and liked their approach. I've lost over 19 pounds since then, but my subscription there is…
