To all the new Downsizers - welcome! @Jounee_hdl, @Mayzi61 and @Trillium54 My 3/31 wgt was 136.2 Goal weight is still gonna be 134 for April. I'm mostly vegan, struggle with salt related weight swings, and have a long term goal of losing 3-4 pounds to eliminate VAT fat to avoid the metabolic triad of related diseases. I'm…

Let her know I'm sending virtual hugs!

On Holiday's, my goal it to eat just like always. Avoiding salty stuff, booze, candy, breads, heavy sauces and keeping portions within my normal calorie count. My family and friends are used to the "I'm close to my calorie limit" line, which gets me off the hook from the family guilt to pig out or try everything.…

@Mayzi61 welcome!!!

Hi everyone! Looking back some really amazing weight losses!!!!! Great job!! Meghan, I'm sooo sorry to hear the news ;( Dang girl, it's just too overwhelming. Weekly weight - I'm the girl with the salt issue. I'm on crutches at the moment. So groceries are delivered to my kitchen, and to ward off cooking the same stuff…

Yep, back to 135 this am. Should I have just waited a day?

Pw 135.2 Cw 136 Eating out/salt just kills me. Don't worry.

Hi Downsizers! I'm ejnxyz. I've been an mfp friend of Megan's for a long time. She always lets us know when this group is starting each month. I thought I'd join the ride! I live north of Denver, CO. Ski/Run/Hike/work out/mostly Vegan. I had a shred related injury last year and had surgery 2/1/24. I'm in great shape, lol,…

Ok, I've added I think everyone. I'm an experienced user, just back after very slowly falling off the wagon. Please let's do this and encourage each other!!!

July Goal - Ride 1x a week on dirt or bike trail - 6 miles or more. I've been working out hard 5 days a week, this is my "day off." I do love to ride on dirt! So we'll see what I can muster. The heat has been something else. . . You guys inspire me with mileages! Hmmm. . .

I agree, you look way different. It's impressive!! Hang in there. Are you able to "disconnect" the thought process, and "just do it?" Long term, you will need to ease into life long good habits of healthy eating, regular exercise, active destressing, and sleep. The exercise class "bursts" are great to break down barriers…

I'm 5' 2" and around 130. I weight lift at least 2 days a week, and exercise every day either running 3+ miles, Barre classes or yoga. I'm at 1300 calories and the weight appears to be stable. But I'm over 50. I read over 50 you have to cut back by 25% and this appears to be true for me. But I'm new to the maintenance, so…

5' 3" - 56 years old. Would like to get my hourglass back permanently and figure out what my daily calories need to be for lifetime maintenance. Currently keeping -500 daily. Right now it looks like the number will be around 1200 cal, so getting all the recommended nutrients will be part of the hat trick. SW: 137 GW: 127 2…

The research shows for those of us post menopausal, at some point, and we all know when this has come to pass, we MUST cut daily calories by 25% or we'll just get plain ol' FAT. You have to get used to being hungry. I'm in this transition now. It looks like I'll be around 1200 for maintenance. I don't plan to go off hard…

5' 3" - 56 years old. I've gotten my hourglass back, now I just need to keep going to low end of BMI and figure out what my daily calories need to be for lifetime maintenance. Currently keeping -1k daily gunning for 127 on June 1st. Right now it looks like the final number will be around 1200 cal, so getting all the…

I live in Colorado, and we have the O&G boyz.(Oil and Gas) Anyway, our optometrists sell very very fashionable HIGH IMPACT glasses, UNBREAKABLE, with wider rubber supports at the nose. Mine are mirrored, rose color, with RayBan sunglass color, and they change automatically light to dark. Cost me a pretty penny, but they…

Lol, what the heck is a drop, I had to go look that up. I still have no idea what it does :) I have one pair of running shoes. My last pair the shoe literally broke between the treads (Brooks trail). I liked the Brooks. ZombiesRun! sent me my 1000k e-mail. Those miles probably killed shoes ;D I rarely run on roads, mostly…

Any idea of the calories for a 2 inch square?

I'm a bit of a gym rat. I used to lift a lot, and I love the exercise classes. Usually I try to encourage people, it encourages me too, to see people working on being healthy. You are automatically IN the CLUB if you show up! I notice other people, I try to be encouraging to people who look a bit out of their element. I…

April is ZombiesRun! month - I'm going to try to beat Feb's mileage and go for 50+ miles. (trails and dirt) ZombiesRun! is the biggest smartphone fitness game,ever. More info on this app at https://zombiesrungame.com/ (available in your App store for free) It tracks my mileage, speed per mile, and shows maps with trails so…

See my notes about Yoga and massage/rollers - there really aren't any short cuts. Try to go to a few classes if you haven't done it before so you get some formal training, it's super useful.

Tylenol is just a pain killer. It won't affect healing. Unfortunately it's hard on your liver(common adverse affect). Only take it if you really need it.https://drugs.com/sfx/tylenol-side-effects.html

Aleve and Motrin are drugs in a class called "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory", or NSAIDs which can be "nephrotoxic", kill your kidneys. Unfortunately, you probably won't know how much damage has occurred until it's bad. Personally I try to take them only if I really need to, either I'm rehabbing an injury with a…

Lots of good advice posted here. I run a lot. Here is a skinny from my vantage point: 1. Stretching - Yoga classes if you can, or buy a DVD such as "Sybel's Yoga for Sports & Fitness" If you don't have time to stretch, walk until you are warmed up before running. 2. Stretch some more - While running if something doesn't…

Add a ton of vege's. Fruits and Veges. Foods with fiber. It looks like you have a very incomplete diet for basic vitamins and minerals. Possibly use a program that gives you the complete breakdown with a grade? or something similar? Perhaps take a multivitamin until you know you have it correct with food only?

I can't stand the wasted calories. I'll put a dash of wine in a glass of water and call it good. Or just forget it. Or you can run a few EXTRA miles to burn it off. Jeez, why. . . .I guess red wine is supposed to be good for you, but its not worth it imo.
