Could you have him pull out some of the lasagna meat/sauce and save you some of the cheese to top off that salad with? That would make me not feel like I was missing anything at all if I did that instead of eating the lasagna. Just a thought!

I didn't mean you weren't doing enough. Sometimes just doing something different will help break through. Sometimes it just takes time. I'm in the middle of a plateau too. Just try not to get discouraged. You'll wake up to a "swoosh" down soon.

@missimjam It CAN be hard to find the group for some reason, so what I do is when @quiltingjaine posts the link to the new group, like she has done just above within the last page, I click on that link then immediately hit the "bookmark" button. That way it's saved in my bookmarks (go to your profile page to find them) and…

Y’all! I’ve still got to go back and read all the posts since this morning but I wanted to share a find! I don’t know if you are familiar with Body Groove, but I love her workouts and there is a very limited quantity (and length) on YouTube. I just found a year’s subscription for $4/month—a whole year and over 800…

I definitely need a laughter response button on MFP for many of your posts. This one made me spit my coffee! Love your rationalization!

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.
