Welcome tammyramlet3789! I too have my first goal as 20 pounds. I have nearly 10 pounds in 26 days just from logging my food and staying at my calorie intake. I wish you much success! Liz

Hi, I am new to MFP and this is my first Challenge. I am so excited! I worked all day yesterday on cleaning out and redesigning my Transformation/Training[Yoga Room. Date: March 1st, 2021 Exercised?: Yes, aerobics 20 minutes. Weight lifting 6 sets of 15 x. Balance exercises 20 minutes Calories?: Yes Tracked?: Yes

Welcome Blackburn23 and Yogibearthetenth! Just in logging my food I am learning so much about balance and my nutrition and what areas I need work in. I look forward to begin to add "logging in my exercise/training" which I will begin next Monday. I joined the March Challenge group. Thank the gods that we have the internet…

Thank you Blackburn23. I thought your first commit was appropriate. I think about my Mom everyday. I think about her lying in bed after her chemo with two 1lb weights doing arm lifts and her skinny white legs doing scissor kicks. She was not able to win the battle against cancer and the devastating affects of chemo on her…

Thank you Cathy aka ridiculous59 for your lovely and honest response. And I am sorry that you too have suffered through so much. One thing that I value about MFP and especially this group, is the openness and support that we gain here. It is difficult in a world where women are pitted against each other, encouraged to…

Welcome back blackburn23m and congratulations on your holiday weight loss, even though it may not have been in the way that you had wanted. And congrats on your newest weight loss. MFP does make it so easy and an enjoyable process. I wish you continued success. Liz

I have subscribed in the past and my daughter is a Coach and she love BB. and they do offer lots of programs with some low impact and or they always offer modifiers for people at different levels. Although, I was not hounded, like you I was not interested in their protein shakes and other products. And I also have a…

Thank you for sharing Carol! I just had my post op yesterday and my doctor said that I should be able to go in and get a driver's license, however, with no peripheral vision, he said I should stick to bike riding on clear paths. lol. I am happy with that! Cheers! Liz

Congratulations Joyfulandactive on your weight loss! I have been thinking about getting a FitTrack home scale which is supposed to show body composition, is that what you used or did you go somewhere to get the dexescan?

Good afternoon tmbg1. Joy, Success, and Inspiration are contagious! Have a great day!

WooHoo bebeisfit! Thank you for your positive energy infused response. I am happy that you have sunshine, it makes a big difference and I do hope that you make the most of it. We are going to reach 43 today and up in the 60's over the next couple of days. I am hoping with cataract surgeries that I will be able to ride a…

Oh my gosh blackburn23 aka Cathy, thank you so much for sharing your story and your journey with MFP, and suggesting the Fitbit. I am all in! I have heard from others that their Fitbit was a critical part of their success, So now I am going to go order me one. It does the mind, body, and soul good to connect with others on…

Thank you southernmom3! for your thoughtful and supportive response. After have lost most of my vision, which slowed me down, and then a stroke 18 months ago and a career as a counselor that requires mostly sitting, it had taken it's toll on my mentally and emotionally. What I know is that HOPE goes a long way to inspiring…

Thank you bebeisfit for starting this thread and for clarification! This is a much needed tread and I am finding it quite helpful! Have a great big beautiful day!

Welcome transparentenigma! I am new to MFP and excited about getting fit and healthy in this of 2021. Like you I do not want to use my health as an excuse; my desire for health and wholeness is now greater than my desire to hide beneath excuses and whatever else that has held me back in the past. I wish you much success…

Hello Joyfulandactive and Welcome back! I am new to MFP and to this group and I am not sure what you mean by having started this thread, do you mean you started this group? Which ever it is, I am really gaining a lot from the program so far. Liz

Hello cannh63 and welcome to the group. I too am new here and feel so good about connecting with others who understand, who share their knowledge, and who offer support and encouragement. For me it was a little overwhelming but, I decided to take it slow and begin by just logging in my food & water everyday and now I have…

Thank you ridiculous59! and I have no regrets at all for asking, you have packed your answer with inspiration information. And WOW 8 years, that is amazing. Congratulations! And yes like you, I have not intention of growing old before my time especially when my grandmothers lived to be over 100. And I want…

Thank you salvagedlife! An attitude of Gratitude is sooooo important and it is a wonderful way to begin the day! And I love that you end your day reflecting on your day. Thank you again for sharing!

Welcome salvagedlife! I am also new to MFP and this group and I too am excited about the journey ahead and the changes to my health and fitness. I am taking it slow and only focusing on my food intake and logging and then I will begin adding my physical activity on March 1st. I have already lost 5 pounds just from logging…

Thank you CeeBeeSlim, Sarah7591, and tmbg1 for responding and for offering Inspirational information! I will take to heart all that you have shared.

I love your approach ridiculous59ridiculous59, to treat this like a part-time job! It is so great to hear about your journey and your approach; it is very inspiring. I have been doing the same thing bout researching a lot of materials and dismissing what does not apply. And I just finished my first week of meal prep using…

Thank you Sarah 7591! Thank you for your thoughtful response. Yes, sometimes we just need to put our thoughts and feelings somewhere so that we can examine them in order to regain our center. The number on the scales had led me to a point of Go No Further! And now I want each day to be a Point of Moving forward and a Point…

I can and will do this! Thank you so much Ranger Rick L for laying out the ground rules so clearly. I am looking forward to the March Challenge!

Thank you for this opportunity to join this challenge. I am excited to have yet another way to garner mutual support and inspiration on my journey of health and fitness! And I look forward to seeing and supporting all of you and your progress/success for the month of March and beyond!

Hello ridiculous59! Congratulations on getting in lots of exercise this month! I can relate to the more carbs I eat the more I crave them and the winter makes it even harder when either I mentally or physically crave them. My Feb. Update: I am new, having joined on Feb 9th and with the MFP food calculator I have currently…

Hello Ann, thank you for such a thoughtful response. And Congratulations on your success and maintenance! I agree with all that you have stated. My approach to healing is wholistic and therefor so is my approach to studying/researching all facets of how each part of the body works together. And yes you are correct, there…

I am new to MFP and I too will be back on March 1st. I am so excited to have found this group and look forward to a successful month!

Good morning tmbg1, I will let you know what I find out. There are all kinds of YouTube videos with Dr. Amen about the book and topic. https://youtu.be/II9OWti__J8

I meant to say Hypnotherapy, and it has worked on all of my client through the years, although for some people it takes time (2-3 sessions) and trust to get to the point that it is effective. Guided Journeying is also very powerful, tapping into the subconscious/spirit consciousness. Both techniques help in expanding…
