  • Hey there! I'm also hitting the big 5-0 this year and am pretty squarely in perimenopause. I'd love to lose 30# but will take 10#. I was so good last week and measured everything, exercised more, and kept a positive attitude. Got on the scale yesterday (weekly weigh-ins) and... had gained 0.4#. Seriously?!?! Argh. I'd love…

  • Hi! What is the vegan keto book you found? I'm lacto-ovo but lean towards all plant-based if and when I can. (Ex: pea protein milk for coffee rather than dairy cream.) I'd like to join you! Where can I access this resource?

  • How's it going for you? I just recently came to the conclusion on my own about intuitive eating then by pure luck happened across the "Intuitive Eating" book, et al. Curious if IE has helped your relationship with food.

  • Swimming is my favorite! I have sciatica and am recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon. Swimming is making me feel strong and healthy again. It's no-impact, cardio, resistance-training all-in-one. It works all the major muscle groups. Plus, I find it very meditative. I compete against myself and keep trying to improve…
    in Swimming - Satan’s exercise? Comment by mgeeq January 2020
  • Hi! Great story. I'm also someone who found the joys of movement relatively late (I'm 48). I love exercise and feeling my body move & groove. I'm especially into swimming! It feels like fun rather than work. One thing I've done is not to worry about the scale too much. I weigh in once a week at the same time. I try not to…

  • So how's it going? I just started today. My friend did this and recommended it. I am being seen by a doctor, dietician, and exercise physiologist, with option to see a psychologist. It is a well-supervised program. I realize it's not a lifelong eating plan but I am using the shakes as a way to break my psychological…

  • I'm sorry, but I need to pull out of this challenge. I just found out I'll be out of town and unable to complete the weigh-ins on 2/5 weeks this month. I was assigned to TEAM FLAB u LESS. Hope to see you in April!

  • Amen, sartisica12. I'm on the same wagon -- again! I've been a member since 2011 and have been on & off this site. I'm back again with renewed purpose and trying, like concordancia said, to just go one day at a time. It helps to know I'm not the only one. :-)

  • You were gorgeous even when you were "fat"! But you look so happy and healthy now. Way to go!!!
    in Hit my goal! Comment by mgeeq June 2017
  • Welcome back! I'm also back. I carefully logged everything this week and am down a pound. A pound may not seem much but it's more than I've lost in the last few months. I completely agree with BradC, above. Logging snacks is important. I ate a cookie, a small snickers, and something else (forgotten - which shows how…

  • Best of luck, Teniya! You CAN do it! Though it will take time and may not always be easy. I just had the biggest realization yesterday that exercise is the biggest punch-in-the-face to depression there is. Not only does it release endorphins and make you feel better, but it's also showing the bad feelings that YOU are in…

  • Hi Shannon! I'm right there with you on getting sick as I try to get healthy and I'm not sure why. I'm a grad student in health care and I have to do clinicals in germy places but none of my classmates are getting sick, so I wonder why I am. I have been trying to take a multi-vitamin. I set an alarm on my phone to help me…

  • My goal is less about weight loss and more about strength building. I'm changing careers from being a desk jockey to being a healthcare provider. I need to have better strength and endurance to deal with patients.

  • Hi Nitram! I'm also returning to MFP after being off for a couple of years. I also have a goal to lose 20 pounds in 5 months. How are you planning to do it? I'm trying to be more consistent about logging what I eat. I think it helps me by being conscious about what choices I make. I'm also going to exercise more this time…
    in Getting started...AGAIN! Comment by mgeeq January 2016
  • Hi Meg! I'm also relatively new. I joined a couple of years ago but didn't keep it up. I'm trying to be more consistent now. The whole New Year thing. I'm thinking that logging food will help keep me honest and on-track. I just lost 15 pounds on the Nutrisystem diet. I didn't feel like that was a good long-term plan for…
