I have been on the 5% since sparkpeople moved here. It holds me accountable and I have fun doing it. I like the interaction between teammates and with the other teams when there is an Ibc challenge. Staying active while ageing and learning new habits this is the place to be! Come join us!

Thanks Greaterthanlife , do you exercise? just wondering. I'm trying to figure out what to change for the new year. Calorie count? more exercise, I know I need more veggies. I haven't done much walking due to being tired from work. That should settle down in a couple weeks.

Thanks GreaterthanLife, I have 3 big eating events this week. hope I don't do too much damage with that. Chew slowly is the goal

Work is super busy now. Of course its retail and everyone is shopping for Christmas. The store I work at is huge and has just about everything. Getting the steps in and helping customers find things. Managing people is hard, I am over 55 people. Ranging from 17-82 years old. Most of my co workers are mid 19 to 25. Isn't it…

ya what confidence?

Way to go Mikey! that is impressive loss. I am close to my goal, 8 lbs to go and its slow going for me. I need to figure out what to change. the 1200 mfp gives me isn't working. I might try bumping it up for a few weeks to see if I am eating enough.

SurferGirl1982 That is a great idea! I'm going to let my brother know about using his walker like that.

That is so awesome! Getting off the meds is a WIN!

That is good u got out and moved it Mikey! U will find a new normal for the exercising. kaynelvb, if u get bored of the indoor walking there is a lot of walking/exercise workouts on youtube. U are doing great! Keep on movin to the goovin! Good job Greaterthanlife logging those calories! I got mine in yesterday along with…

Talk about turning your life around, good job. Look at that smile! beautiful!

Maybe some body exercises is in order Mikey? push ups, etc. Yesterday was almost a bust. I didn't have my protein drink first thing, by lunch I was ravenous. I ate then went grocery shopping. Bought some keebler coconut dreams cookies.. half the container gone.. oh no Haven't had a binge eat like that in over 2 months.…

I need to eat at the kitchen table not in front of the tv. log food more often write a gratitude for the day lift some weights 3x week Let go of what doesn't serve u anymore Spend time outside everyday find a new hobby enjoy life

I see the dilemma Mikey. Thanks for explaining it. Eating in that environment would be hard to get a decent healthy meal. Not a bad idea getting a gym set up. Sounds like it would work. Thinking of doing an intermittent fasting day or 2 a week. Need to shave off a few more lbs. It took a year to gain in, don't really want…

Mikey, u can always use the free version here. Its ok. the question is do you have time/choices to take your own food on the train? No train in my neck of the woods. There is a lot of fast food places around where I work. It is way too high calorie for me so I take my own lunch from home. There is a subway , if I get the…

count me in!

That goal is doable Mikey, go for it! @Greaterthanlife and mayers_janice , keep on posting and logging, u will get it figured out what works for you. Lots of advice on this site, but only u can find what works for you. I didn't want to go on a "diet"., eat weird food, skip others. I have done logging of my food for a…

U can do this mayers_janice log everything, you need the data to figure out what to change. for example if u use 3tsps of sugar in your coffee use 1.5. go for walks, log that too.

What tool are you using for bmi? tdee? Here is one that u may like: Body Fat & Composition Calculator - Fitmatic . Interesting numbers. You might not need to lose as much as you think. Are you wanting to lose the final lbs? It is said its 80% diet, 20% exercise. It is best to do both as your body does need to move. It…

You are on the right path Mikey! Get those weights going and slow up a bit on the carbs. U have the musculature to drop weight quickly. I need to change up mine as well. I have a disadvantage of age and being lazy. I did get in 2 small walks and a rowing workout. Really trying not to be lazy. I need to stock the fridge…

It really didn't bother me of the change of destination to ribbon breaking. I didn't think of the work involved of choosing a destination. I did like looking at the different places as I really don't travel. Less work for the leaders is a must as you have busy lives too. I did struggle getting enough protein. it has been…

I think I will check out going to a cinema, it is in the next town over. Give it a go Mikey on the weights. U probably will like it. As for running a business, I learned how to adjust backs from a chiropractor a few years ago. I could do that. Now you have to have a license to do that. I could make pies. Think I will do…

Eating thanksgiving left overs, the rest will go into meal prep container. Need to add a few more veggies to the meal plan this week. I have a few days off to reflect over the last year.. sad times, lost hubby Dec 6th. i really dislike doing most things by myself.

Did overeat, so went for a walk to burn it off. scale is up this morning, ate some salty popcorn watching a movie. Time to drink more water.
