I just started the workout yesterday. I've been an athlete for most of my life and fell off the wagon over the last 2 years. Yep, level one was a challenge, but I'm looking forward to improving, getting back into peak shape, and feeling better. Best to you!

Cheryl, Sounds like you have some work to do, but you're off to a good start by joining fitness pal. I didn't think that I could track either but now I look forward to it. The database pretty much does the tracking for you, so there's no calculating that you have to do. BTW, I'm 42 and nothing is falling a part. Get busy…

Hi Christina, Sounds like you're already off to a good start with a solid base. Good luck with your fitness and nutrition goals. CB Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Food Diary

Congrats. Keep up the good work. It's a good feeling...

Yep, that doesn't sound good. I stick with the basics...vanilla. This way you can add fruit to your liking...

Never heard of it. What is it?

I've purchased 2 diet books so that I'm getting fresh menus. You can also go out to Cooking Light, Whole Foods Recipes online to get menu ideas. I find that you'll need at least one good health conscience reference/cook book on hand...

Does the restaurant have an online menu with nutritional stats? You may want to go online to see what your choices are...

Congrats! There's nothing like seeing the scale move downward...

Welcome and much success to you or your office mates!

Good for you. Keep up the good work!

I'm impressed with you, too! Keep up the good work!

that's terrific. At this pace, you should reach your goals in no time...

I love those. Eat them all the time. I sometime cut them into triangles and make chips and serve with hummus. Or I will cut them open and toast them and put a little apple butter on them. Yummy...

Terrific. Keep up the really good work. It's one step at a time...

an old fashioned analog scale works great...

I always remind myself of the short-term and long-term goals I'm trying to achieve. Also, I'm down 10 pounds and I like how I feel and look which is a really big motivator for me. I was really ill last year and the fact that I'm up and running again is a blessing. What are your goals? What are you trying to achieve? Get…

Hey, I really like that. Thanks and have a really great day...

Hi there. I lost 3 pounds prior to MFP just by cutting back on what I was eating with no exercise. I've lost 10 pounds since joining MFP. I'm just more aware of the calories now and I am making a concerted effort not to overeat the small stuff that I wasn't counting. I was running on a treadmill and lifting light weights…

Good for you!

I'm doing 1200-1300 depending on how much I exercise, but you really need to gauge that for your individual lifestyle... Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Thanks, same to you. We can do it!

Terrible to hear. Hope she feels better soon...

4x a week for me. Just started kickboxing and it's kicking my butt.

I hate it too...all of my life even when I played sports. You have to make it a part of your plan, and I don't know how you tell yourself this, but this is something you MUST do in order to be successful. Do what's hard. Sounds like you're making some good head-way...

Trout fillet, broiled on top of a bed of mixed greens and 3 oz of sweet potato. Your dinner sounds yummy...

Good for you and your husband. It's great to have that kind of support...
