I have some gray sprinkled all over but the ones that get to me are around the front, my temples, etc.. I do try and work with it but sometimes they just don't work for me when I look in the mirror. I try and dye all my hair about twice a year and sometimes use the little coverage stuff like mascara for your hair. I was…

I think having a cut off time for eating can work for some but maybe not everyone. I understand your feelings that maybe that was a way for your Dr. to address the issue without addressing the issues. I honestly think doctors know what conversations we are ready for ones we are not. Only you know your eating and activity…

Yes, I think people do not realize how calories add up throughout the day or even while fixing a simple meal. It is a little hard at times because I tend to cook separate meals for myself and SO but I manage = provide the salt shake with his meal :D

I love walking and would contribute that to a good part of my previous weight loss. Now I am recently recovered from a weak muscle in my right knee and after a consistent regiment of physical therapy I am getting back to it. Late 2020 I purchased a treadmill that was going mostly unused and now I am loving using it. I wish…

Hello, I understand your quandary with feeling like an accountability buddy would be a major help. I did not always feel that way, years ago I lost 86lbs on MFP (different profile) alone and I would see a lot of post with people looking for buddies. I lost 1/2 of my weight alone without any MFP pals and the second with…

Still peddling . . . YTD - 370.78 miles

Yoga, I can fall asleep between moves.

It has been a minute since I have logged, but going over my calendar for the month made me proud! Year Total - 291.78 I have moved my space around so I really like just getting on my bike for a ride short or long, I've been doing some of the presets so I don't necessarily get the miles I would like but I have been seeing…

I was 43 when I first joined MFP and succeeded. I am going to leave it at that because that means something different to each person. What brought me here - I was at a point very much like you. One day I realized that I go to work and give 200%, go home and give another 110% . . . "Give" "Give" "Give" where was I in all…

Moto to live by - The Body Always Wins! My foot is getting better but now I have some light back pain - probably from all the limping. But this too shall pass, I hope :) Total for the month 152.14 miles almost 11 hours. No real treadmill walking but no rush.

No, i don't believe it is something far off from what most of us do! Remember, your eating habits had been 50+ years in the making. I too have had moments where I just have to let the fact that I ate the whole frozen pizza for dinner last night go. When started this years ago (I joined recently after 2020 weight gain) I…

I am still here, I had to wear a walking book for a week but I am back to riding my bike - no treadmill yet but it will come. I believe I was at 66.3 miles and today I am 110.94. I signed up for one of those Explore the World apps so I can ride and see places I never knew existed, it is a great way for me to clear my mind.

Several years ago with MFP I lost about 86 lbs from 244 - 158. My goal at that time was 150. I was most comfortable around 160. Fast forward, with life and age I started late 2019 looking to lose 40 lbs. T2020H, and I am currently 220, dealing with a weight related food/leg injury so no exercise at this time. So what I am…

First, congratulations on logging! I agree with the above post. But not to downplay it either because Fat is so good and it is easy to go over what we really need to consume in general. If it really bothers you, one way to help manage it better is along with weighing and measuring is to pre-log this way you can see ways…

I do appreciate a good piece of bacon, but I do like the idea as a starting place. I think for me I could move the alcohol to the bottom and the processed meal (bacon) to once a week list. Obviously not every plan would work for everyone but this does seem doable being like you said it focuses on what you can eat as…

This is my kind of challenge! So far 66.3 miles as of today. Stationary bike at home. Since I also have a treadmill but dealing with some foot issues I am trying at least use the treadmill and I have a goal of 7 miles this month I have 1 mile so far.

I want to say that this is my second go round but I keep telling myself that it is not - I am not the same as I was 10 years ago! Currently Age: 53 Current Weight: 218 Goal Weight: 170 My goals for 2022 * Feeling better - this includes my weight, accepting age related changes and taking better care on my mind. * Since I…

I am trying to be good to myself. Meaning getting enough rest, drinking more water and keeping up my workouts. I was once upon a time a gym bunny :) so now I am working to keep going with my strength workouts at home and getting back to the basics with my eating.

. . . and then life happened. I was a long time member of MFP 8+ years and initially started at 244 got down to 154 and found a happy place around 168. I lived life being active, kept up my gym visits and managed my eating. As I entered my 50's things changed and then 2020 happened. For 18 months I was furloughed, at home…

I had just started taking Indoor Biking classes in early 2020 . . . I purchased an upright bike for home but it is not the same in mid 2020 and just recently purchased a recumbent bike for home that I love! After reading Jhanleybrown post noting the almost 9k miles rode last year. That peaked my interest, I would like to…

I’ve been using Apple Fitness+ since it was introduced. I personally love it and use it at home and have used it at the gym for cycling and treadmill (on the elliptical). While you can sort by music genre I try to focus on my workouts so the music doesn’t really bother me even if it’s not my type of music. The latest…

Keep strength training until I need to add a new set of weights to my collection.

Back again, but also new. I started using MFP almost 10 years ago and successfully lost 86+ lbs. Then life and 2020 happened. So I deleted my old profile because I wasn’t keeping up with it and after my account being reset twice. I thought I need to be ready and want this. So a month or so without it I found I really…
