Lisa- Gracie said to tell Egg Hi. Kayla - You must see in my house. I have a bike sitting on a wind trainer that I rarely use. (To my shame). I’m going to dust it off and ride it for sure now!!

Peachy-Thank You!!

Patience-I am loving it actually. It keeps my mind occupied. And so far I’m in a little better mood than I was initially.

Barbie - I definitely plan to read this thread everyday. I want to be more active throughout the day but I want to do more than go to the gym. It’s nasty outdoors now so I feel limited. Any suggestions?

Yes please call me Sidney. I am so excited about not doing this alone. To tell you about me. I started out at 275 and I started walking then changed my eating habits by mainly removing processed food and dairy and then later watching my calories. I got to 208 but I have relapsed and gained a 8 pounds which has me worried.…

Good morning all! I am new and desperately need some motivation and support. I look forward to getting to know you all.

When you weigh your meat...do you weigh before or after you cook it?

grapes

Count how many calories you ate and how many you burned in exercise on one day to see if you are at a deficit. You may be eating much more than you realize.

grapes....MFP - 10 grapes 35 calories!

I truly understand....When I read your profile I thought I was reading my own. I just started again yesterday. I have about 135 lbs to lose.

5:30 am swim....nothing like it!

Generally, I prefer to go to the gym during low peak times. If you go during off hours there won't be many people there.

how long have you been trying?

My closet full of too small clothes.

Hi, My name is Sidney and I'm a Scale Addict......ultimately, I had to have my son hide the scale because I would obsess over it. So now he only brings it out on Sunday mornings for my weighing. I have to remember that no matter what the scale says I have to continue with the lifestyle changes I have made. Even once I lose…

My July goal is 1 - to do 60 minutes of activity 5 -7 days a week.

Hi all. I am 45 and I would love to have more friends to support and I will do the same. Feel free to send me a friend request.

That sounds interesting

I do my best work outs alone. Exercising with someone usually means conversation and distracts me from why I'm there in the first place. Now I do like being at the walking track with someone but not necessarily walking together. But just seeing a familiar face as we pass each other is nice.

Great!

That sounds good! We will be at the park in the morning. You are welcome to join us if you would like. I walk slowly but my daughter walks faster and jogs. I hope we see you there.

Would you be interested setting a goal of running a 5k?

Actually, we just started. But we go on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 - 6 am. Then on Saturdays and Sundays we plan to go walk at other parks and trails around Birmingham and outlying areas. My hope is to have fun. On Mon. Wed. Fri. We swim. But as I get into shape, I would like to do a lot of different sports. Like…

Hi! My daughter and I just started walking at the Memorial Park. What days are you there?

I am ditching the scale myself. This morning I got really upset when I saw I had gained 2 lbs since Sunday. Especially after being down two pounds on Friday. It's like an emotional roller coaster. I have decided to focus on my workouts and my eating habits and just trust the process.

sounds like a good idea to me
