First week, lost between 3-4 depending. Hovering at a clear 3 lb weight loss. That actually makes it easier to get up the stairs. Walked 4 days in that week and cleaned house a bit, but vaccinations come with a great deal of unpredictable bouts of fatigue. It's weird. Work tomorrow which is good. I substitute teach, so I'm…

We will be spending some time in Vietnam in the future and I wonder if someone has travelled there. I looked up "Pho" on myfitness pal and what I saw was that some versions come in at 475 calories! That would be more than I eat at any meal when trying to be more healthy. I'm sure it varies greatly from restaurant to…

LindsayGil Congrats on the 10k. That's awesome. Workplace items and parties used to sabotage my diets and health and still do on occasion when I don't plan for them, but at 65 I look back on all the donuts and pizza parties and junk I've consumed and think "Really?" What do these items really do for me other than clog my…

Good Morning Everyone, Barbie-Your October exercise log is inspiring! SLRonan-welcome aboard. I'm new too. Heather-congrats on your decluttering! It sound like you are really doing well at it. I went through a big round in the spring, and apparently need to take a ride to the local dump this fall! :-) It's never ending it…

Tracy, Barbie, Karen, and Sharon Thank you for all the weighing ideas and other tips. Very helpful. Tonight the Washington, DC, Virginia and Maryland areas got the Tropical Storm Michael passing through. We have had more rain than I have ever experienced in one year in 45 years living around here. It's insane. I feel so…

Karen and Carol---Thanks so much for the scale recommendations. I will look into those. Not sure why there was such a delayed reaction on a weight loss but the scale went down 5 lbs. today. YAY. I should know there is a delay from the body when eating habits change and it must adjust. Do folks recommend weighing themselves…

Does anyone have personal scale recommendations?-- because we get different readings all over the house, probably has to do with slumping floors in This Old House. But seriously, I need a new scale I can count on and maybe put it in the basement on the concrete floor.I have just started up again for two days, and was a…

Hi Michele in NC, The Shelly name took hold in college, and before that in h.s. I was "Mitch" or "Mitchie," Names which I tolerated. :-) Michele in DC – when I was little, my relatives in northern PA used to call me Shelly! I keep a Word document open and jot responses there. Then I just copy and paste it. Everyone has…

Dear Heather, Thank you for this inspiring note! Sharing your experience with me is very helpful. I have gained so much weight and I think it is from trying plans that someone else in control of. This approach seems healthier and the posts here are helpful.

Thanks everyone for the welcome and sound advice. Really appreciate the welcome and the suggestions. My name is Michèle also, but if it's easier and less confusing with other Michele my nickname is Shelly. I live in stress-filled, Washington, DC and am one of the few native Washingtonians in existence. ;-). I've lived in…

Hello, I am new to this group, but not to FitnessPal. I have had some success with this system but gain back, or give up. Have done WW, Jenny, and in my 20s NutraSystem or whatever that horrible liquid dangerous diet was. Since age 40 I have gained at least 50 lbs. I am now 65. I used to run or jog 10Ks throughout my 20s,…
