During the summer I switched to getting up an hour earlier to get my runs/walks in. I've never before been a morning person. The hardest thing is getting out of bed. Once your feet touch the floor the hard part is done. I love getting a workout done first thing. You don't have to worry about getting it in later and/or…

Ouch!:drinker:

I would say 947 years is old. ;-)

First off, welcome to MFP! Second, yes you can do it. You just need to stick to and don't get distracted. MFP can help you stay focused. You can do it!!

All you do is lose water weight w/them. As soon a you drink anything your body soaks it right back up.

Welcome to MFP! You can probably hit it (depending on your birthday) before you turn 49! Good luck!

I'm doing 40 min. a day 5 times a week, now, but I started out just 20 - 30min. 45-60min. might be a little too much to start out with. Not because you can't do it. It's just a higher probability you'll burnout quicker and get bored w/it sooner. Good luck!

Yes! It really works. A year ago my exercise was walking to and from the car. Now I'm running 20 miles a week due to C25K. If you have trouble with one day just try it again the next workout, no hurry it'll happen. If I can do it you can do it.

Welcome to MFP, Carolyn! You've found a great place to stay on track. Good luck!!

Progresso Light and Campbell's Select Harvest Light soups worked for me for lunch.

Welcome to MFP! It's a great place to get on track and stick to it. Good luck!

Way to go, Chris! Congrats on a great year!!! I proud of you!

Welcome to MFP!!

I would usually eat back about half my calories back.

Welcome to MFP! Good luck to you!!

Welcome to MFP! What's great about this site is it will help you stay on track and keep you from yo-yo dieting like you've done in the past. Good luck!

Welcome to MFP! For getting toned you'll mainly want to concentrate on weight training repetitions this will remove fat and give you a tone look w/out bulking up. Good luck!

Welcome to MFP! You can do it just stay on track.

Welcome to MFP! Good luck w/the 20lbs. by May that sounds like a good goal.

Welcome to MFP! Since you're look into running a 5K or 10K you might want to look into my earlier post here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/147117-several-sites-for-newbie-runners Good luck!

I just hope that people here understand that the weight they lose on the show is not comparable to healthy weight loss in the real world i.e. 1-3 lbs. a week. The people on the show are being supervised the whole time and the weight loss becomes their job as opposed to the rest of us that still have to go to work, take…

Welcome to MFP! Good luck!!

Welcome to MFP! It's a great place to keep on track. Good luck!!

Welcome to MFP!

You could count them as calisthenics.

With my job (not sure w/yours) they still allow two 15min. "smoke breaks" during the day. Combine them into one (if your boss will let you) and go for a 20-25min. walk (when the weather is OK).

When watching TV do crunches or push ups during commercial breaks.

I'm positive that I'm feeling 100x better today than I did last year at this time.

Custom, the protein seems to be way off for anyone who exercises.

Welcome to MFP! Congrats on the 22lbs so far. You've found an excellent place to keep on track. Good luck!!
