Hello, everybody! I turned 50 in May. I'm maintaining a 50lb+ weight loss (just started year 3 of maintenance) with consistent food logging and daily exercise monitored via my fitbit. I have a few health challenges (the main one being celiac disease) but I still enjoy life and being fit! Have a great Monday. :)

Red! I've had it for almost 20 years (it was a wedding present- or, more accurately, I used some of the wedding $ to buy it haha). These days, I use it for making cloud bread and other gluten free things (I'm a Celiac). I'd love to get the spiralizer attachment for it!

Yes, always. I tend to choose restaurants which provide their nutritional data and request it from those who do not- if they are not responsive, I tend to shun them from that point forward (if they are a larger chain-type place... I'm looking at you, Slim Chickens). I don't eat out all that often, other than special…

For powdered peanut butter, I REALLY like Naked PB. It is fantastic in steel cut oats. Here's a link to info about it, in case you're interested: https://nkdnutrition.com/products/powdered-peanut-butter

I found this over in the support area- looks like it's a known thing: https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2788254-fitbit-steps-not-syncing-as-of-4-15 I hope that it's resolved soon! I hate seeing that red number on my profile! =(

Same here- apparently, it is a known issue: https://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2788254-fitbit-steps-not-syncing-as-of-4-15 Hopefully, they will fix it soon!

Same problem... and of course on a holiday where I've gone WAY over in caloric intake but managed to do enough steps/activity to stay in my MFP goal range (yet I am seeing a big red number, boo!). =(

Grats! I remember that feeling and it was AWESOME! =) You're well on your way to making your healthy goals!

I love my Fitbit Charge HR. I've had it for about 9 months. Recently, the side button came loose and fell off- they replaced it with zero trouble (I didn't even have to return the broken one or send them a picture/receipt- it was the most hassle-free return experience of my life). I think the Fitbit app is awesome and it…

Oh good... I was concerned- glad to see that it's a known issue and that they are working on it!

Mine is open- feel free to add me. =)

Grats on your awesome achievement! I remember the feeling earlier this year when I first 'switched sides' at Dress Barn and felt like one of the associates were going to appear and gently escort me back to the plus side. Instead, they got me a dressing room- where I tried on non-plus size clothes for the first time in ages…

I alternate between a scoop of Naked PB with packet of stevia and a 1/2c frozen blueberries (no stevia with that one- the berries sweeten enough for my taste). I like to make a big batch of plain steel cut oats in my crock pot on the weekend- I have enough for the week with minimal effort (and it lets me change up the…

You are a gorgeous lady in both photos but in the after one you are simply GLOWING! You look so happy and healthy now. Congrats and great job on your healthy journey!

182,000. =D

I do not... honestly, I love the foods I eat (which are healthy), and I love the way they make me feel. I really don't have any desire to deviate from my plan. To each their own, though! =)

Added! I'm new to Fitbit and new friends would be awesome. //www.fitbit.com/user/4N4ZJB

Howdy! I just received my ChargeHR yesterday (belated Mother's Day/birthday present) and I'm already obsessed... I'd love to have friends with which to share this wonderous new world! //www.fitbit.com/user/4N4ZJB

Thank heavens for online menus... I like researching and preloading my calories too, as mentioned earlier- it helps so much!

Howdy! My name is Paula. I'm 47 years old, live in Lincoln, NE, and 37 lbs toward a 50 lb goal (I hope to reach it by Independence Day). This whole process started thanks to a physical last Sept, when my doctor asked me to become more active and gently advised, "Losing as little as 10 lbs would really help a lot" (I was in…

Howdy! I am in Lincoln, Nebraska (speaking of corn jokes). =) I'm originally from the west, though, and really miss the mountains. I'm trying to bloom where I've been planted!

I'm still plugging along... I'm hoping to do a 5k on the trails during the next week- that'll be the first time I do one outside as my others have been on the treadmill. I'm so happy to see sunny, spring-like weather in the 5 day forecast!

Howdy! Age 47... 37 lbs lost, 13lbs or so to go. I'd love to find some friends so feel free to add me!

Yesterday was supposed to be my rest day but it was too gorgeous outside... I ended up doing my usual loop with a few sprints mixed in. So, today I shall rest and eat tacos with the family. =)
