65 year old female, 5'5" Highest Weight: 213 (in ~2005) Lowest Weight: 143 (in ~2019) Goal Weight: 150 GOALS SW Rnd 283—152.4 1/1 153.2 Happy New Year! No alcohol yesterday, but had a little upswing anyway. It’s fine. I typically hang out at about the same weight for a bit as long as I’m behaving, then the drop will come.…

You are a hoot! Glad you had fun! LOVE the costume! @cyndiemi I hope your insurance issue is behind you. What a nightmare!

@musicsax and @Chapter_3 Thank you for the detailed information now on heart zones. I'm going to see about getting some help at the gym one day this week on getting mine figured more accurately, but I do think mine are set too high. Until I get someone else to help me, I'm going to calculate them based on the percentage of…

Oh my goodness, @Skyleen75, I hope you get your moment of enlightening, and don't freeze solid! Lol. Have fun! Can't wait to hear all about it! @_JeffreyD_ It doesn't matter which smart watch you use, I think you'll learn to love it! They can be pretty cool and give interesting information. Enjoy! @Slimmersixties great job…

@Chapter_3 Here is what my walk looked like on my i-Watch. The resting heart rate my zones were calculated from is 66. Oh, same as yours, I don't get this data unless I turn on the Fitness app and choose a "workout". I talked with someone today who uses a Fitbit to track time spent in HR Zones, but to me, the way hers…

This is very interesting. I'm curious as to what numbers are represented by each of your zones. Do you mind sharing? I'll go snag a pic of mine in my watch.

kristawatkins52 The site I use to find emojis in the BBcode that My Fitness Pal uses is: https://emojidb.org/bbcode-emojis I'm sure there are lots of others, but I have this one bookmarked. Just click on an emoji you like and it is automatically copied. Then just paste it into wherever you keep your notes from each day. I…

You can just use today's weight for your SW for Rnd 283. We don't always have to start on the first day of the round. Folks can jump in anytime. Welcome to the group! We are glad you are here.

I know for a time, @SheilaBoneham was talking about taking a break. I hope she comes back soon. I haven't seen @tiabirdie56 in a while. Hope she is ok.

@lita_loses_it_all You might try out with some chair yoga videos online. Stretching will be really important as you begin to move more, and the chair yoga will surprise you with how good a workout it can be, especially in the beginning. I also really like the Leslie Sansone videos on YouTube--Walk at Home. Good thing about…

Well, @Chapter_3, the walk I just had was enlightening! I figured out that my I-Watch automatically tracks resting heart rate and gives me an average of the last several months. I'm going to assume that is a pretty good place to start when figuring the heart zones of which you speak. I also learned that it automatically…

@SModa61 Safe travels today on your long drive to the Keys. @Chapter_3 I'll look into that and see what mine is. I do know that high intensity cardio doesn't work for me, but I guess i'll learn the why behind that. I'm already learning that my Apple Watch has automatically figured the zones for me. This'll be fun to…

@Chapter_3 You are absolutely rocking your HSF goals! I just want you to know what an inspiration you are to me and I'm sure many others. May I ask what "💗Z2 60min" is in your goal list? I assume it's 60 minutes of something that's good for your heart, but I can't figure what Z2 is.

When I read this post, I immediately thought of this image from Lord of the Rings, when Gandalf stops on the bridge and says, "You shall not pass!" to Balrog. You've drawn the line! You are standing your ground. You WILL prevail!

@_JeffreyD_ Have you tried drinking a protein drink before going into a situation (like a game coming on) that tempts you to snack? It really helps me when I think to do that. They fill me up, and I am just not hungry for the temptation. So, even if I nibble a little, I don't overdo it. I've been known to sip on one…

@quiltingjaine I'm so sad to hear that you have the crud, too. Glad you took yesterday to not even get out of your pajamas. Sounds like the perfect way to beat it down. Take care of yourself!

We are surrounded by water here on a barrier island connected to the mainland only by a series of bridges, so I think that's why it feels so cold when the temps drop. That and the fact that I really don't have cold weather clothes in the condo closets! Lol. Same thing holds here in the heat of the summer, though. When it's…
