Hello, I am a convert of 7 years now and I love being a Catholic. I had a pentecostal and Methodist background. I love the rich Catholic traditiions and Mass. It is great to find this group. I have been on Catholic Answers Forums and they do have some groups who talk about weight loss. I hope Catholics Unite on here have…

I was thinking about keeping to 1200 calories. I will not each fish tomorrow as I love it and that is not a sacrifice for me. I am thinking of eating other non meat items. I am thinking an apple with peanut butter for breakfast, some vegetables for lunch and maybe a grilled cheese or salad for supper. No snacks at all,…

When I was heavy, I never ate breakfast and made up for it with late night eating! Eat a good breakfast within an hour of waking up, it will kickstart your metabolism. Eggs are my favorite, they keep me full all day. Today I added onions, bell pepers, and turkey bacon to my scrambled egges.

I love tea and other drinks, but there is no replacement for coffee!!!! I love it black!!!!! But I do use some calories free flavors once in a while. I also buy some flavored beans and grind it myself.

Great NSV's!!!!

You have not been on that long yet, and the exercise you are doing may be building muscle. Take your measurements and keep an eye on them. You may be having some NSV (non scale victories)!

That describes me!!!! I have been uping my exercise calories to offset the extra calories I have been eating!

Are you considering the calories of the protein powder in your calorie count? Also watch the carbs, they can make weight shoot up fast also.

You look great....and happy!!!! So what is your secret?????

I love Torani sugar-free syrups! Besides the French Vanilla and Hazelnut, I really love the Caramel or the Rasberry! They are great with a light breakfast blend coffee. I love flavored coffees also and then just drink them black.

Any doctor will tell you that a women no matter how small should eat at least 1200 calories a day. This is set up to eat 1200 plus your exercise calories. If you eat too little you will go into starvation mode, which this website will tell you everyday you eat less than 1200 calories. You are only going to slow your…

We are not suppose to go under 1200 calories, we are to eat 1200 plus our exercise calories! I lower my carbs once in a while to loose weight and then enter good carbs back in my diet. I loose better with less than 100 net carbs per day. That is carbs - fiber = net carbs.

Offering a myriad of health benefits, coconut oil is affordable, readily available and completely natural. I use it for EVERYTHING. Literally. I buy it in 5 gallon increments and keep it all over my house. I even have some in the car. So here is a little information to inspire you to check out this amazing oil! Coconut Oil…

I just got done with 30 minutes of kettlebells, and yes, my heart monitor shows I burned 300 calories! What a work out. NSV Many comments this week that I have lost weight, when in reality the scale has not moved, so the kettle bells must be toning down my body.

Here is the infor on Kettle worx workout that was requested http://tv.kettleworx.com/?uid=PT1_GS1_DFATAG&gclid=CIHjlovp4q4CFYcUKgodGEf1WA

It is a beautiful sunny day with above normal temps here in South Dakota. Even though with daylight savings time it is dark when I get up, I did get on the treadmill this morning and did some kettle worx workout. I had gotten away for the long work outs, but this week I am back on track. Goal for March: Walk the treadmill…

The body works harder when you drink cold water to warm it up, so you burn more calories.

I mess up eating chinese last night! Several entrees were very salty and the scale showed it today, but I did not record it as I know it was the salt. So I will be good for a few days and weigh again. Tonight the husband was gone to a meeting, so I turned on some music and danced until I was a sweatball, good calorie burn…

You are in the right place for encouragement! You have a good start, keep it up. Keep your eyes on becoming healthy, you are doing great!

I use my new heart monitor for the first time today, it is pretty cool to see the heart rate, pecentage of heart use, and even how many calories you burn, so my diary can be more accurate now.

Hello ladies, Happy March! Boy we are getting tons of entries the very first day. I am back on track after a week of bad choices. I am staying under my goal for the last week. I just wished I could get back to the low carb eating I used to. I can do it, I just have to say no to things like pizza at work, and a husband who…

It doesn't matter what you eat if you stay under your calories and get a healthy amount of exercise. I just ate an ice cream sandwich, but I am under my calories and I burned 400 calories in exercise today.

I have been doing the Liturgy of the Hours this lent. It is great that it is online. http://www.universalis.com/ Just click on the time of day in the left column and you get the prayers.

We do eat a lot of food and can still stay under our goals. But in my fat days, I would have eating more food with a lot more calories. A 3 scoop bowl of ice cream every night with all the toppings. We can eat a lot of healthy food compared to junk food.

Hello all, Thanks for the new friends invites! It is good to help others, but lately I have been too high on my calories and need to get back on track. I guess I need to get back on my old schedule where I walked the treadmill every morning or did a video work out. It seems if I start out right, the whole day goes better.…

Both!!! Yes you can do both at the same time. I recently started Kettle worx. It uses a kettlebell 5 pound weight to start out with, and combines the weight with cardio. A 20 minute workout 3 times a week is suggested. http://tv.kettleworx.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_v8bzTi_Hw

Hello, I am a convert of 7 years now. I love my Catholic faith. I am a Lector and Extraordinary Eucharistic minister. I am kind of feeling lazy right now as I just gave up my position as Director of Religious Education and teaching CCD because of some health problems. I kind of miss it, but will get back into teaching when…

I have been using Kettle worx and it combines the use of a kettlebell weight and exercises. The video set has days of cardio, days of resistance and days to work on your core. I feel like a sweatball after a 20 minutes workout, so I know it is burning lots of calories.…

I have mostly done cardio exercise, walking the treadmill and aerobics. Just a few weeks ago I invested in Kettle worx, a kettlebell weight and videos that combine weights and cardio. It has really helped me tone down and burn calories at the same time.

Hello everyone, I am glad to find this group of 50+. I am 53 and have been on MFP for a few years, although most of that time I only used the site on my iPod touch. I have been at a plateau and I know it is because I have been cheating and eating too much. I need to get back to loosing weight like I know I can. Feel free…
