Wonderful post and photos. Congrats for turning your life around and sharing what helped you most with us. Both thumbs up to you.

You're practical, honest, and down in the trenches slugging it out. Good for you. Keep at it, one step at a time. You're doing well. And let yourself voice those feelings, but give yourself other messages, too: "I'm getting stronger, I'm doing better."

Hi there, I'm an older female whose office job collapsed during the pandemic. I took a job stocking shelves in the meantime and just sent you a message -- hope some of my experience is helpful. Best of luck.

What a wonderful blog post. I agree, happiness and mood has much to do with my own weight (and physical health). Congrats on turning your life around.

Fantastic, you look wonderful. A great achievement!

Fabulous post! So proud of you. You've spelled out a wonderful mindset for many goals in life - real, practical, and positive.

I lost 34 pounds almost two years ago and reached a normal weight. I used a scale once or twice, so you're not the only one out there who's lost weight without them. Of course, scales help many people, but other people lose fine without them. My lifestyle habits made me overweight, so if I watch those then I stay a normal…

Are the pastries in a breakroom that you have to enter before you can see them? Or are they out in the open where you pass them no matter what? If this one, I'd suggest you ask in a friendly way if the pastries could be banished to the breakroom. That might go over like a lead balloon, but on the other hand, maybe the boss…

Congrats for losing 60 pounds! You're doing great. Grrrrr! The doctor's comment that you can't lose weight because of your age is ignorant and a form of prejudice against older people. I agree with others here -- find another doctor. For what it's worth, I'm age 67. I lost 34 pounds over the last year, reached my goal, and…

I use MFP on a laptop, not a phone. There is a pulldown menu at the top of the screen that allows users to choose the language. Spanish is one choice. For example, the screen says: Foros Actualmente estás visualizando los foros en: Español Inicio Discusiones Recientes Buscar

I am so sorry you're suffering with fibromyalgia. Good for you for starting anew. I suggest you give yourself some positive self-talk. Losing 14 pounds is great. Our bodies aren't machines and don't lose in a straight line. You probably didn't gain those 2 pounds. Our weight normally fluctuates depending on sodium in our…

Pass day 2 Exercise: massive work exercise for hours Calories: under Tracking: no, too exhausted
-
Yes 3x Work exercise for hours during the pandemic, tracked, under calories
-
Pass day 1 -- tracked and stayed under calories, but didn't exercise due to a new snowstorm (I shoveled snow but not for 20 minutes). Yes, I could have used a video.
-
3x today

yes x3

Yes x3

Yes x3 Sorry, all, I'm exhausted out of my mind from work and digging out of a snowstorm. Will try to catch up here later. Hope you're all doing well.

@MadisonMolly2017 A big congrats and thanks for sharing that link and information -- sounds like a very worthwhile project. @lesdarts Congrats about the vaccination! I'm on a waiting list and hope to be vaccinated soon since I'm exposed to the public.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, shoveled snow (the heavy stuff from the snowplow at the end of the driveway) for 45 minutes, plus work-related exercise for several hours (walking, disinfecting, carrying some heavy items on purpose for upper body strength) Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes…

I believe Youtube has chair exercise videos (I haven't done them so can't recommend one). Best wishes to you for a quick recovery.

Congrats to the Winner's Circle and Champions! Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, shoveled snow for an hour and 45 minutes -- actually more than that, but I didn't track all the time. We're in the middle of a huge snowstorm so I will be shoveling again tomorrow. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?…

Hello, everybody. I was in an accident and am okay now, but I have a mild concussion -- I'm not online much and so I won't be taking part in the rest of the UAC this month. Best wishes to you all.

Yes x3 Pass days 2/3

@Chinkiri :) I think my "disinfecting" is meaningless -- maybe to please the public, maybe because something is better than nothing, I don't know. The state requires it. However, I read the back of the bottle and went to the manufacturer's website to read more. The spray has to stay wet on a surface for ten minutes in…

Exercise: yes, the same, working during the pandemic, disinfecting public areas due to the virus, slow walking over 8 hours, carrying some heavy items for upper body strength Calories: yes, under budget Tracked: yes Thanks to everyone who posted the beautiful photos from the areas where you live. Thanks also to…
-
Yes, yes, yes Pass days 2/3 Beautiful photos, everyone -- it's great to see people's favorite places. I miss walking in my hometown, Washington, D.C., which has many beautiful old bridges and neighborhoods, but I'm relieved I'm not there right now because of the political violence and tension. I love exploring cities on…

I'm going to change my earlier post to yes, no, no. I've been working on a paper all day and have munched beyond my calorie budget. Right now, I really want a takeout grilled cheddar cheese with tomato sandwich and hot coffee -- but it's 28 F and 10:30 p.m. at night. It's the idea of something hot that somebody else makes…

Exercise: yes, worked on a paper out on the nearby national park and then walked an hour in the wind Calories: yes, under Tracked: yes
