I have read before somewhere on a fitness site that most people should exercise heavily for like 10-20 minutes, moderately 20-40 minutes and lightly up to 1 hour every other day. Make sure to do aerobic, anaerobic like weights on opposite days. So I guess the average person should exercise 1 hour per day or 2 hours every…

I'm a little late in posting on here, but I just saw this thread today. I have requested many friends on this post, because I only have about 12 friends right now. Thanks for starting this post "mytime3360". You can read my profile to know more about me, than what I post here. Starting weight 215 and now like 4 years later…

I have lost 7 pounds so far in 2 years, but hoping to lose much more quickly. First goal is to lose 3 more pounds, then second goal is to lose 5 more than before.

I can't upload a picture, but I really enjoyed what my husband made me today. He took a tortilla, added 1 tbs of nacho sauce, fried onions, boiled potato chunks, crumbled bacon, and a slice of tomato. I hope you try it.

WhoaDough bars are new to me. Gluten free with 150 calories, and 4 protein. They taste indulgent too. I bought them online at a discount. I really like protein bars in general, most have at least 9 protein.

I have received both my shots of the phizer vaccine and had no side effects. It didn't even hurt at all, but I am used to shots. My husband received both shots, too, and his hurt a little. I am 53 and he is 62 and we live in a multigenerational family household. My son will be receiving his shots soon, because he works in…

Great job. I had a friend that looks like you (Her name is Sue) and I have lost contact with her. I hope she loses weight like you have done. I only need to lose 75 pounds, but that is a lot for me. Right now, I am at 40% BMI.

great job losing weight, and I hope you can keep it off.

I am starting over too. I finally decided to talk with my doctors about losing weight and they are finally helping me, my previous doctors did not. I am on wellbutrin, eating about 1300-1500 calories per day with 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat. I do not eat 3 hours or less before bedtime, and have started adding bone…

You did a phenomenal job, make sure that excess weight does not come back. I have been eating 1000-1300 calories per day with 2 meals, one at noon and one at midnight...with no success. I talked with my doctors and now have 2 meals a day plus snacks, one when I get up and then one meal at 7-8pm. I go to bed at midnight. I…

Please add me to your group, I do not know how to do it. I am 53.5 years old and 212.5 pounds and 5 feet tall. I am looking for new women friends only. I need to lose 60-75 pounds and have been trying for 30 years. I have been with myfitnesspal for over one year and consistently meet my eating goals, but have trouble…

tomorrow, I will have 3 4 inch homemade pancakes without syrup nor butter and some ginger tea (unsweetened). And then later, I will have a beef bouillion cube in hot water and sip it down.

I am on a semi-fast, where I eat half of the normal amount of calories in a day, so I had 2 scrambled eggs, cheese, real bacon bits wrapped into a flour tortilla to eat and moringa tea (unsweetened) to drink.

I think you should not plan for cheat day, but when it happens, accept yourself. I average 1 cheat day out of 30, so not bad.

I find pinto bean soup and nachos made of beans and cheese on tortilla chips are very filling

I have to limit my salt, sugar, uncooked vegetables, and acidic fruits. I have Crohn's disease. I decided to quit soda pop completely. I want to clean, which to me means few processed foods, only free-range chickens and eggs, and grass-fed beef and bison and lamb, organic when needed. I think, if you vary your diet to 28…

I am following a no added salt, no added sugar diet with free-range eggs, grass-fed meat, organic fruits and vegetables. I am 51 yo, happily married, thankful mom who is 200 pounds and only 5 feet tall. I believe clean eating is the way to go. I have Crohn's and other medical issues, am disabled and looking to lose 60…

Hi Jennifer, I am looking for female friends only. I just started here. 51 yo, 200 pounds, 5 feet tall and trying to get to 140.

My goal is 60 pounds, which will put me at slightly overweight. I am disabled and like to crochet, play computer games, and make rosaries. I have 2 chihuahuas and a black cat. I am happily married and a thankful mom. I am 51 yo, but taking "Lifetime Wellness" class at college, where I learned how to read food labels in the…

I do not add sugar nor salt to anything, but fruit has lots of sugar to begin with. Gave up pop, and asperatame this month. Started walking 30 minutes…

Washington state

flour tortillas for our morning meal of eggs, cheese, and bacon burritos.

I do not have a picture, but we ate deli turkey sandwiches with a little mayo and slice of american cheese on cracked wheat bread, mashed potatoes, turkey stuffing, black olives, pickles and pumpkin cake.

Beans, rice or corn, tomatoes, avocados, onions, jalapeno make a good, high-protein meal that costs less than most meals with meat.

Hi, I'm 51 and 200 pounds and 5 feet tall. I'd like to get to 140.

I am a crocheter with many unfinished projects like matching ponchos for hubby and I. I hope this group is still active, as I just joined MFP today. I was 100 pounds in high school, now 30 years later, double that. I plan to becme healthier and weight around 140 on my 5 foot frame.

Hi, 51 yo, happily married female wanting to lose weight, get in shape and feel great.
