My mantra: It's not WILLpower. It's WANTpower. What do you want more? The health or the bad food? And remember it's a LIFESTYLE improvement, not a deprivation diet. You will be better off longer. sorry! more than one!

:wink: Great weigh-ins! Good job, everyone! Keep it up-it feels great, doesn't it??

Started =162 Monday weigh-in=158 After 9 days of fun and adventure in Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, I actually did not gain. Woohoo! Now all the holidays are over and it's time to ramp up the exercise and training. Must get the rest of the 20 off!

Thanks for the reminder! 3/26 159.8 down about a half pound from last week :(

SW: 164.5 CW: 161.5 GW: 145 Was down to 158 but have run into some weak spots for me. Stress, celebrations, and being sick have been my nemeses. Celebrations are done. Still fighting the upper respiratory, and stress never ends, but gonna try and get my butt moving again so I can burn some cal's. Glad I can "confess" to…

Anyone who is willing to make changes toward a healthy lifestyle is doing more than the person who isn't! Be sure to give yourself credit for the positive changes you are making in your life and don't compare your exercise to others' posts. You don't know the stories behind them! Be kind to yourself. That will play a huge…

Once I hit 42 or so, I noticed that my metabolism slowed as well. So I am in the same spot-kinda' stuck and unable to drop these 20 lbs. I have a hard time cutting back on the food-I try to eat 6x/day and stay within my caloric intake which includes my exercise calories. Does anyone know much about "muscle memory"? The…

STRETCH long and thoroughly after you work out. I would do a search on the web for the types of stretches that would be helpful to your situation because many will have a video or diagrams to help you. Hang in there and be a little cautious so you don't have to be sidelined due to injury!

Way to go! Running during the holidays is hard! Doing a 5K Turkey Trot Thursday morning. Will do my usual 3-4 miles today, tomorrow, Friday, and Sunday. Make time to move! Good job!

My experience has been the same. I am going to look into some C supplements as well as vitamin D supplements. Reading, journaling, massages, a funny movie, a good foot rub, yoga-all of those are things that can help alleviate the stress. Hang in there!!

This looks like a great plan! The link takes me to a PDF-is there another place to find out what the exercises are that go with the plan?

Great idea for a group! I don't feel like I have ever found the right balance of protein and complex carbs. Would love to share recipes! Must say I am totally in love with Greek yogurt as a source of protein. And I am addicted to almond butter on bananas, apples, or whole grain bread. A favorite breakfast is scrambled egg…

Congrats on completing a half! Lots of people wouldn't even try, so a BIG pat on the back for that. I have run two-2:26ish both times. That was 10 years ago. Goal is to run one or two more before I turn 50 :smile:

Have you already been regularly exercising, or are you just jumping in? If you have not been exercising regularly previously, take it easy at first because you don't want to risk injury or straining your muscles. Having to slow down or stop for injuries will set you back, so it's better to be safe than sorry, imho. There…

My friend and I do a monthly challenge-we offer up a food or type of food for the month, or create a goal. For example, we might give up fast food for the whole month, or add 5 minutes of interval work to our workout when we can workout together. So it's not always about depriving ourselves of something-it's also about…
