WantToBeMoreActive

Thanks Alf, April & Singfree for the advice. :flowerforyou: I have a hard time sometimes with my 'all or nothing' attititude and so I think somewhere inside I feel I should be exercising hard every day. I know in my head this doesn't make sense & I'd be the first one to tell someone else this but I seem to have these CRAZY…

wow wee swiss miss, 4 lbs in 2 weeks when you have so little to lose is amazing!!! WTG since many of you seem to exercise a lot, I have a question... I seem to be able to handle 4 days of exercise in a row and that's it...today would've been day 5 but all I could manage was to do my toning exercises and I couldn't do my…

I find when I drink alcohol I want to eat and I'm not talking fruit and veg :laugh: chocolate, chips, nachos, burgers, fries, pizza...I think you get the idea. I decided when I joined MFP to give up alcohol until I got closer to my goal weight. Today is day 105 for me without drinking alcohol. My weight loss has been slow…

welcome and good luck :flowerforyou: I'm not sure about your question...but there's a 50+ group on here and I'm sure you'll get lots of answers there. :wink:

I messed one of my knees this Feb downhill skiing for the first time. Do an upper body workout in the meantime

that was cool :glasses: I had picked 135 as my goal weight & thought it might be a bit low, they said 139

Happy Friday everyone!!!! I did strength training & cardio today even though I didn't feel like it. :grumble: I know it will help get me the results I want so I'm doing my best not to slack off. I'm hoping to meet my mini-goal I set for the end of April and there's only 2 more weigh-ins until then. Yikes!!! :noway:

Hi everyone! I've been away for a couple of days...so much reading on this thread to catch up on. :laugh: I did pretty good while away...skipped the alcohol & dessert and made the best food choices possible...I didn't get any exercise in but was happy when I weighed myself and lost a pound this week. :bigsmile: I know I…

check out exercisetv on the internet...there's free workouts icluding strength training

Yeah for you!!!! :drinker:

Hi all, I went away for 2 nights and just got back. It was the first time I saw my brother-in-law and his fiancee since I started my healthy lifestyle. My brother in laws fiancee commented on how great I was looking. Even though I know I'm doing this for myself, it's so nice to get a pat on the back every once in awhile.…

I don't go to a gym either mainly because I like exercise classes and my local gym doesn't have any. www.exercisetv.tv as someone mentioned earlier is great. You can do different workouts depending on your preferences.

Hi all, I'm down a pound this week to 156. Go Team Go!!!

great post Dave!!! I've wanted quick fixes in the past when it comes to losing weight...I know now that it will take hard work and in my case sacrifices to get me there. But I'm finally at a point in my life where I'm doing this no matter how long it takes me. I also know that for me my weight is something I'll have to…

Hi gang, check-in day and I'm down one pound, 157 now. :bigsmile: I did an aerobic workout to kick start my Easter weekend this morning and it felt great!!! :wink: Stacie, have you tried non-food things as a reward when you're happy: a bubble bath, a new magazine... ...and when you're mad/sad/stressed can you catch…

It's so nice seeing the changes that come with losing weight & getting healthy. :bigsmile: Well done lynn!!! Realta I think that's a great idea for the challenge this week. Easter can be a very difficult time. You go in the grocery store and there are displays of chocolate everywhere....:grumble: I usually buy myself…

well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :glasses:

Hi, One pound down this week! :bigsmile: I'm so glad my knee is good enough to get back to doing aerobics. :smile: I know I have to exercise to get the scale to go down. :laugh: Good luck all on your weigh ins.

Don't be sorry jomickey...it's ok to be busy :laugh: WTG for not gaining this week :smile: I lost one pound this week, I'm at 157 now. :happy: My knee is MUCH better and I can do aerobics now :smooched: I'm so happy because I know that exercise will be key for me losing weight :wink: Good luck to everyone else :heart:…

welcome and good luck :flowerforyou:

I put on herbed cream cheese and tomatoes. Sometimes I'll use plain cream cheese, basil leaves from my windowsill plant & tomatoes.

Well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the great work. :wink:

welcome and good luck :flowerforyou:

I have this problem wit my husband. He things that if he eats good food that he's going to gain weight. :noway: I keep telling him I'm eating the same thing and I'm trying to lose weight so why would he gain. :grumble: I think he's starting to get it but it's a learning curve for him. :huh:

well said :drinker:

it is hard to get fit, healthy and slim and there's no magic pill. :grumble: But if you stick with it (in good times and bad) you can get to your goal :wink:

well done!!!! good luck on the last 20.

Realta, that was fantastic. And oh so true. I had a hard time learning to drive because my sisters car I was practicing with was HUGE but I still kept at it until I reached my goal!!!! destiny_206 don't give up, even if it's one step forward, two steps back :wink:
