Thank you! I needed to read this post this morning! You're absolutely right, we can do it! :-)

IMHO, I would keep moving forward on getting yourself healthy. Your past is not your present, and I hope you do not feel that is a pass for him to hold you back because of the threat of him getting angry with you. If couples did everything in lockstep and the same with one another all the time, I would think it would make…

I also work a sedentary job and after years of not moving, it finally caught up with me. I can starve myself and still be overweight. I have one of those metabolisms that require a good dose of both eating right and exercise before I experience positive results, and its gotten worse with reaching menopausal age, etc. So,…

About that range...80-90lbs.

I agree. I was set to 1200 calories per day by MFP, too. I met with my doctor and he said that's too low. He reset me to a more reasonable calorie intake per day and we'll reassess at my next visit. The good news is that MFP will allow you to adjust that calorie amount to a more reasonable range. I edited mine based on my…

Sunday - Sharing (tell us a little about yourself....update your personal life) So, the last 2-3 weekends were spent at the hospital. My mother and a sister both were hospitalized with high BP issues, and mom had a mini-stroke. Both are doing well now and out of the hospital. Mom is even back to driving again (very short…

Monday - Check In (how are you doing? Had any successes or struggles this week-end?) Good morning! I took a MFP break but I did not realize two weeks have already flown past me! I am feeling it, too. It does make a difference as compared to when I am consciously tracking and planning meals over throwing it all to the wind.…

The night before, I babysat my grandson at my daughter's home. She lives in a townhome with a lot of stairs, lol. Anyway, I'm not sure if it was just the stairs or me carrying an almost two toddler up them, but I managed to strain my knee in a bad way. I was in such pain yesterday! It has eased as of this morning, so I…

Tuesday - Goals (do you have any Goals you want to update us?) So, I want to get back to basics. I want to make sure I track today, have improved water intake (no soda) and exercise 30 minutes today.

Sunday - Sharing (tell us a little about yourself....update your personal life) I really have nothing exciting to share. I'm a typical career woman, that works hard and commutes too long and never seems to have enough time in her day. I'm trying to make healthy changes, but its a slow process and one that is requiring…

Saturday - Success (what have you accomplished; focus on the positive of the week, NSV=non scale victories) I've logged consistently, had more water intake and a more positive attitude!

Friday - Fitness (what are you doing to get fit? How are you preparing for weekend eating? Fitness/Exercise....this is an area, that I find myself lacking. You've read my previous comments but I'm going to take some of the suggestions and try and make a goal for this coming week to intro exercise back into my life. I have…

Good morning, we have some things in common. I'm also 54, with a similar target weight of 145-155lbs. I don't want to be high school weight. I'm 5'6" or 5'7" (in my mind) and weigh about 232lbs. I already have a few grandchildren, but one is coming in November! Let's get it done! :-)

Tuesday - Goals (do you have any Goals you want to update us?) I would like to get out of the rut I find myself in these days where exercise is concerned (or should I say the lack of it).... I want to exercise outdoors...love walking, but unfortunately a few of our neighbors do not adhere to the leash law and I'm afraid of…

Thank you, Sand86802! I had started a similar template, but was using Sundays. I can convert it to your template, no biggie. Just got thrown off by the response to it. Thanks for helping me.

I am still not understanding the Summer Challenge? Am I required to join up or how does it work? How does one become part of the Summer Challenge group? Is it a closed group?

I saw others posting on this thread something similar and just followed suit. I did not see or missed instructions. Sure, I'd like to join! I need to do something.

Hope you are feeling better now, colds are no fun!

Don't look back, you're not going that way anymore! Keep moving forward and you will be a success!

Great job!

My NSV for the week, I spoke with my boss and she is allowing me to switch my schedule. It will mean getting up earlier but then I will get home earlier. I have a 1+ hour commute and its a struggle to fit everything into my day. However, I know I've been in this rut for way too long and its up to me to change it. So, I'm…

Question: Will you be starting this thread over again for May? If so, how do we find it?
