@SaraErle You can hit the wellness center before your shift starts. Or workout at home before leaving for work or on days off. For at home, you can buy some dumbbells (I have 5, 8, 10, 15, 20 lbs) There are loads of exercises on YouTube. You can specify "no weights, no jumping, etc." Youtube: Type "zumba" along with…

@MikeA6042 I'm Carrie. Sending you a FR! I lost 50 lbs 10 years ago and gained it back. I restarted this journey on July 7 with a goal of 50 lbs to lose. (starting at 193 lbs, down 5 lbs) I hope to gather a small network friends to share diets and to cheer each other on. I really miss the newsfeed! I had wonderful friends…

Hello @katrinaviolet1989 I need to lose 50 lbs. I'm a 52 yo female and I did this once before 10 years ago. At first, I was gradually gaining then aggressively within the last 3 years. My diary is open to view. For the most part I choose to aim for healthier foods since I'm getting older and need the benefits of a…

2 egg vegetable and cheese omlet and coffee (313 cal) 20 oz coffee, 2T mocha creamer, 2 large eggs, 28g Mozzarella, bell pepper, onion, tomato and seasonings. (only the creamer is estimated)

@ONUnicorn Yay! Check your email! 😀

Egg and cheese sandwich & coffee (290 cal) 1 coffee w/1T mocha creamer, 1 large egg, 1 slice provolone, 1 slice of pumpernickel rye, 4g light mayo (only the creamer is estimated)

Sent you a message and a friend request. I got 50 lbs to lose!

I'm looking to do the same thing but I've been away from it for 7 years. This is what I enjoyed: I bought weights. 3lb - 20 lbs. There are plenty of weight lifting plans to follow (internet). If weights are not an option, then search YouTube "calisthenics", "bodyweight workout", "full body workout no equipment". Really,…

I just looked through a few of my recent meals. My fiber items were chickpeas, black beans, apples, nuts, carrots, Quaker oats, Metamucil. Artichoke has a lot of fiber. I buy a can and make a Naan pizza (1 naan, light oil mist, seasoning of choice, mozzarella, 1/3 can artichoke, tomato and bake) I only ate 1/2 today and it…

IT FINALLY SYNCED! I checked an hour later and see what I logged. Awesome!

I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) which mine is not severe. I still eat sweets but in moderation. I scared myself when I started researching how the body processes the sugar. It is crazy what the body has to do to get rid of the bad sugar. Pancreas, insulin, liver. Diabetes runs in my family. I just want…

Getting healthy: eat better, exercise more, fend off future medical issues. That's me! However I'm 46 with a 6 year old, ha ha I'll send you a FR!

I sent you a FR. Congrats!! I lost 50 before but sadly gained 20.

If you are looking for a friend in the same boat. I'm a 46 yr old mom. Sweets, check. Need to eat healthy and exercise, check. 15+5 lbs to lose 😉 Besides the age, it is like I'm looking in a mirror! Please send me a FR if that is what you a looking for. I wasn't sure if this was just a discussion board join or looking for…

When it is only me and grams are offered, I weigh the food at 100% accuracy. When it is family dinner time, I estimate the best that I can.

I'm in! I searched the group and requested to join. The group activities seem fun and not at all complicated. :smiley:

I emailed but haven't heard back. I did find the "Losin' it!!" group with OP as one of the leaders. I requested to join. I'm just hoping it won't be too complicated. We shall see what happens.

I sent you a FR. I need to lose 20 lbs too! I just started interval walking and weights. I try to pick healthy things to eat. My biggest problem is logging food. I spent 2 years weighing/logging food. Then I spent 2-3 years not doing anything. It's hard getting back into the logging routine.

I sent a FR. I'm looking to lose 20lbs, too.

Message sent! I need to lose at least 20 lbs.

Almonds, trail mix, pretzels, cheese, Greek yogurt, popcorn, tuna pouch, hummus w/veg, protein bar, boiled egg, apple w/peanut butter, saltine crackers w/peanut butter or cheese, banana w/peanut butter, dark chocolate and almonds, protein shake, English muffin drizzled with honey, fruit salad, fruit with a dollop of…

Stuffed French Toast (peanut butter, banana, whole grain bread). One of my favorites!

My first time attempting to lose 50 lbs was achieved back in 2015. I carried on with healthy eating and weight training. My kid started PreK in 2017/2018. We were sick A LOT and I gave up on myself. Now 20 lbs heavier, I'm ready to get back to it. My foods are simple and quick since I'm not the best of cooks. Plus I'm…

Hi Tracey! Looks like there might be the 3 of us active on here since the other post are from 2016, I'll be 46 in April. I dropped about 50 pounds in 2015. Sadly, I got lazy and gained 20 of it back. Looking to stay consistent and shed this off again. Let's do this!!

Hi chaquita1972! Thank you for sharing. I had my one and only kid at the age of 40. I'll be 46 this year. My highest documented weight was 179. I'm 5'6" so I'm feeling your story. My main loss all started in 2015. I lost around 50 lbs and hit my goal. Over the years, I got lazy and now I need to lose about 20 lbs. I…
