Every day for me is mysterious but I agree with the keeping it the same or eating like 200 less (for me a 129lb 5 feetish female) on non workout days.

Me. My macros are 120p, 85carb and 45fat.

For me I’ve done it both ways with friends and then when I got lazy and really wasn’t committed to myself my program I deleted my friends who I hadn’t known that long anyway, and you did seem a little bit weird to talk to people you were never going to meet. So then I just sort of used MFP on my own. Which meant that soon…

I agree with you! I am not even close to doing anything race related but the fact that I can plank and lift and do push-ups and still walk after my training sessions with my trainer and group makes me so proud to be 51 and in the game

I too am looking for friends to cheer—

TMI maybe but I go at least 2x a day, my morning situation is a couple of trips then in the afternoon since I started eating much much better than I used to eat. I think your schedule seems fine! All bodies are different.

800, oh my. That’s really low I think by any standard. I do know if I eat lower than 1300 my body just holds all my weight as it thinks there is no tomorrow. For me eating every 3 hours with macros has helped my body believe food is coming and is burning it for fuel given that I don’t tank my carb number.

@jjpptt2 do you just build your tomorrow? I just started that along with just using one meal to log all so I could see the climb easy visually. Really need to get my protein up.

@mz_mika5 I just started with macros and I feel they are invaluable now for my energy levels and mood and overall feeling of well being. I am in a getting fit training program that has a nutritionist that set my goals with macros (which translate into calories. Yes calories are the king, but macros relate to that and have…

@RaeBeeBaby @OBXbrit @kerrymiller2018 I work a lot right now, it’s ok, but daily garden chores are not happening. However, Saturday after I get my hair redone (the roots etc) I will be out running amuck to 2 nurseries to pick starts. One day I will do seeds again, but for my busy life this works for now. For now I am just…

Hey, I am a former jersey girl. You do have the best produce around, the most flavorful of my childhood! I have pollinators as well, by planning and ooo I like that color. I dabbled in MFP, and now paired it with a training plan and a nutritionist. I will say that I was ready for training after taking a month of walking…

Hi Kids! I found my group! Hooray! I have a crazy suburban yard where I have 15 fruit trees and 12 veggie bins, all currently empty. Waiting for next weekend. I am a master gardener in California, which means I learn from my mistakes and know where to get good information. I use Mfp as part of my new training plan with a…

What a great attitude. You can do this!

What a great thread. I am 51.75 lol. About five years ago I went to the gym to care for myself started a wonderful program and then so many things interrupted my track. I had drama with my father with whom I work, my son a Very bright headed to college boy that just started to make terrible decisions and continued those…

To me this is a long process of change. But acknowledging our areas that we need to improve to me is most excellent!

Still in!

I just started a 12 week fitness and nutrition program. No menus. We just started, week 1 down. The nutritionist had us this week taking pictures of our food and sending it to him. I have sent him everything. It was from him that I learned about carb counting and a reasonable number for me for a non training day. I just…

What an excellent thread. So proud of all of you!

I posted earlier in this thread about thinking body pump was boring. I think what was boring to me was just my mindset, and the fact that I was too scared to hurt myself. I took it again this week after this post and lowered my weights. Duh. I was able to keep my form and do it!

I love body combat my instructor is bouncing energetic and pushes me even though my body is screaming. It is generally not pretty no matter how pink and jazzy my outfit is. I like it it's linear and if things repeat themselves which means overtime I'll get better. Regarding body pump I've done it twice, and I am not a fan.…

I go take a gym class daily but then come home and sit and work. I am going to stop ignoring my Fitbit reminders to move and try to get my step count up. I don't eat in the office, and I am doing a better job of lining up the water cups with straws. I have these great Contigo cups that don't spill. I am going to have to…

Add me, I am 51, and I have a pug! I totally want to be your friend. You are spunky. And I have a Fitbit! I am 51, Jillita

You can add me, I am definitely that chapter kind of girl. Oh the people I have been...Jillita

you can add me...Jillita

You can add me

Great direction. I decided I want Mfp to show me my world

This thread was beautiful. Such support. I am replying to this now so I can find it again to add my thoughts.

What app do you like? I have a fitbit with a scale so probably that is sufficient. I am new here, but think that if I do not start the daily weigh in I will not get to know my body as well as I could. I have more mental trouble logging my food as I have never done that. I think I can weight myself daily without duress. I…

Great thoughts!
