Hi all, Sorry I haven't been around, still pretty emotional with having to put down my baby kitty. Weight is about the same...yoyo effect up & down. Took my dogs for a 40 min walk on Monday & because I haven't done that in quite some time I had to carry one part way home (about 10 min) because she was limping but then she…

Hi all, Dawn~So sorry to hear about your Gpa, glad he is doing better and being released, sending hugs & good thoughts your way! So on Friday I took my 16 yr old cat Sabrina to the vet thinking she had an ear infection, (she hasn't been eating much and is getting very unsteady when walking & jumping) the vet said no she…

Good morning everyone, Birgit~I am sure it wouldn't but the end of the world if you used your treadmill without runners, but I wouldn't advise it as you run differently when you have the support of shoes & doing so without shoes may cause you injury to your foot, knees or back. My Birthday was yesterday, another year older…

Hi everyone, Just a quick update - my physiotherapist said she thinks I strained my Meniscus, so I stayed off of it all weekend (well no exercise or long walks) & did not do my morning walk/run bc I can't run right now...hahaha but I did try my lunch walk which I normally walk 6.5km but today was only able to do 5.6km &…

Happy Friday all, Welcome to all new comers...Brigit & Kiomami! Hope everyone is doing well, sorry I am really behind on the posts & will catch up some day. :# Well I have not quite been myself lately, I took my dietitians advice and cut out one (morning) workout for almost 5 weeks and have gained about 3 lbs...feeling…

Great job on the walking Lana! That is pretty much 6km...way to go!!! :) Thanks for all the advice, I will do some research on "Mr & Mrs. Peabody's" (Mocha & Thumbelina's) bladder issue, but I'm kinda thinking that they had not been trained properly (as we have this issue all the time, but didn't address it because of my…

Hi all, Happy belated Easter!! Sara~thanks for the lovely Easter basket pic, I too think I am gaining weight just looking at it...hahaha Kathryn~Awesome job with your NSV, big congrats to you!! & yes over the last few days I also have been having issues with logging food. So not sure why but my little fur babies have been…

Hi everyone, happy Friday!! Sorry I haven't been around much and am still trying to catch up on reading everyone's posts. Things have been crazy busy at work as I am filling in for someone who is on vacation...she comes back on Wed so hopefully things will get back to normal once she returns.

Post when you can, we are all here to help. It's my turn the storm came by where I live last night and has carried over to…

I was under the same impression earlier this year, eating just around 1,000 calories a day and was working out about 2 hours a day walking & running 10+ km every day and seeing no loss on the scale. So I decided to see a Dietitian last month and she suggested I eat no less than 1,200 calories per day and no less than 120…

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to stop in to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day <3 <3 Sara~Thank you so much for the dog treat recipe, I will try it this weekend. Just an fyi you can freeze dog treats, that is what I do when I make them in bulk, my pups also like them frozen as it takes a bit longer for them to eat. Tess~Glad…

Happy Friday everyone! :) My week has gone good so far, no change in weight but after the 3 lb loss last week I am okay with that for now. I have done my running in the mornings (all 5 days) and my lunch time walks (again all 5 days). So it looks as though I have to make new treats this weekend :# , NOT apple as my pups…

Good morning all, Lana~ Yes, I live in Canada, I actually track in miles then convert to km because it sounds I like I do more when I say 5km instead of 3.11 miles...hahaha :p Kristina~ Great job & keep up the amazing work you are doing! :) Sara~ Great wl and excellent job with the hearts!!!!

Hi Everyone, Happy Friday!! :D My week has gone fairly good, got my walking in & my morning running done, kinda a little scared as I still have 57 KM left to do this month to reach my 300 KM goal...fingers crossed I can do it! I am going to see a Dietitian tomorrow, & will show her MFP account so she can see my workouts &…

Hi anyone can add me. I have about 60 or more lbs to lose & also have PCOS. I am finding it really hard to lose weight (lost 22 lbs in 2017) & if anyone has any tips/tricks I will welcome any and all advice. If not you can add me for support.

Thanks for all the kind words and advice, I really appreciate it <3 Annie~best of luck with WW, sounds like you need to do something good for yourself! Just take one day at a time & be patient (...you can see the light at the end of the tunnel). You will be in your new home really soon & will have all the space & privacy…

Hi all, I hope everyone had a great Christmas & New Year's. Well my holidays did not go quite as expected...I had it all planned out on a print out calendar, marked down how many miles/KM I would run each day to keep me on track for my 300 km December goal & what happens...My last day at work I get a blister on the back of…

Yes use the recipe builder and create all the meals you normally eat. It may take a bit of time at first but once you have all your recipes created it will be so easy to log afterwards.

OMG! I thought I was the only one out there that has their lowest reading on the first day of TOM or the day before it comes & not much of a loss any other time of the month...more just fluctuation....even my dietitian was shocked & didn't have an explanation for me.

I'd like to join as well. :) Challenge SW 222lb Challenge GW 205lb Jan 1: 222 Jan 8: 223.1 Jan 15: Jan 22: Jan 29: Feb 5: Feb 12: Feb 19: Feb 26: Mar 5: Mar 12: Mar 19: Mar 26: Apr 1:

I workout 2x a day 5 days a week, run 5k in the mornings and walk about 6+k on my lunch break. If I feel like it I will run anywhere from 5-10k on the weekends but I don't stress about it if I don't have time or am just too lazy...lol

I just got a Blaze for Christmas & would like some MFP/Fitbit friends. I have been over weight for all of my adult life, started MFP in Feb 2017 & have lost 22 lbs. I have no problem with motivation to exercise as it has become routine now ( try to run/jog 5km in the morning before work and walk about 6 km during my lunch…
