Hi, everyone. I refocused on my health when the school year started back in August. Unfortunately, I managed to injure an already messed up knee on the first day, so I've been limping around for 6 weeks, unable to exercise. BUT, this time I didn't let that interrupt the rest of what I could do to get myself into a better…

Hi, everyone! I am new to the group. I just read through the thread and I closely relate to @suefitnessaccount in that I'm starting over for the umpteenth time. I have been successful at losing large amounts of weight but then somewhere before I reach my goal, I let myself get derailed and never manage to regroup. *sigh*…

Hi, everyone! My name's Pam and I live in Virginia on a farm with my husband and various animals. This will be my umpteenth time of beginning a major health renovation! (Notice I avoided the "d" word!) My history: I have lost 50 or more pounds several times in my life only to gain it all back eventually. (Duh, or I…

Sounds like a plan!

Hi, everyone! Sorry for the silence. I am a teacher and as we were rolling up to spring break and me rolling up to a big trip, I have been super busy. Still tracking, but probably didn't eat as well as I could have, despite staying within limits. CW: 213.6 GW: 165 Stayed under calorie goal all week. Didn't make my 8,000…

Hi, I would like to join this board. I have been a bit discouraged trying to find an on-line "community" here on MFP that suits me. So many boards/groups are either inactive or have posts where posters don't seem to communicate with each other. This board seems different, so here I am. I re-embarked on my journey to…

Hi, Theresa! I just joined a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, these message boards are kind of clunky for real communication, but it's better than nothing. I guess I have been spoiled by Facebook! lol I, too, am working on being healthy--AGAIN--so you are definitely not alone! Have a great day, guys!

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one baffled by the calorie differences. When I was just doing MFP it seemed simple. Now that I have a fitbit and they're all linked up, I feel like I'm aiming at a moving target! lol I appreciated this conversation to help highlight some of the issues.

A little move like that can work minor miracles. I'm in!

Good morning! I was able to resist the food at our international market event at school yesterday. YAY! JFT 3/18: I will get to my "burn this many calories" goal. I am realizing that sometimes even though I get enough to meet my "step" goal, I still haven't burned enough calories.

Wow! Sorry about the weather! Hope you have a calmer day today! Greetings from Virginia where they are forecasting SNOW for the weekend after our temps have been in 60's and 70's!

I didn't get my arm workout yesterday, but due to some impromptu changes, I got 12,000 steps, which is the most so far this year! JFT I will not eat any of the yummy foods at our international fair today, but rather will eat the snacks I have already tracked and brought to school with me. Have a great day, everyone! Pam

Just for today . . . I will not eat any of the free food at the faculty meeting no matter how yummy it looks! I will go to bed before 9:30. Oh my gosh, it turned out our school celebrated "PI(e) Day" a day late! There were so many yummy pies, but I did not partake. I had my own homemade yogurt and home canned peaches…

Hi, I like this idea, so I'm jumping in. Just for today . . . I will not eat any of the free food at the faculty meeting no matter how yummy it looks! I will go to bed before 9:30. Have a great day, everyone! Pam

I live in the country and I barely go to town for anything, so I don't think I can do this one. I do walk around my farm alot, though!

I did this just the other day while I was holding a hose, filling a water trough! Will try to do it today. I just joined your group. I really like this idea.

I've had a fitbit One for a long time. I quit wearing it probably for over two years because I didn't know where it was. When my husband and I finally launched an all-out search for it because I'm back to being conscientious about my health, we found it lodged behind the silver ware holder in a kitchen drawer. ??? What ???…
