I am 42 and have a least 30 pounds to loose. I am not new to MFP but I have been gone for a while. I need some motivation and support. I am a mother of 3 boys, student (want to graduate before they do) and small business owner. I have noticed in the last couple years that the weight has crept on and I am no longer…

I am Kari I am a 41 yo mother of 3 boys. I am very active but I cannot seem to get the eating under control! I is more real for me now that I am noticing weight in places that it never was before and it is not coming off like it used to. I feel like I am racing against some unseen clock and if I don't take it off now I…

Don't let the scale get you down, especially if you are really active .... One of my good friends and I weigh exactly the same. I work out 5-6 days a week and she does not. I am 2 sizes smaller than her and the same height and weight. You can't get caught up in the numbers (easy for me to say) I like to take measurements…

I am just getting back to MFP. I am a 41 yo mother of 3 boys. I am very active but I am having a hard time controlling my calorie intake. Love the food and wine!!! Lbs are creeping on in all the wrong places and I am back up to my heaviest post baby weight ahhhhh!! I need to hold myself accountable for what I am consuming,…

I am new to the 40's and so far so good! I have a love/hate relationship with running, but I do it all the time. Training for my first marathon in oct. (signed up on my birthday, thought it was a good idea). I am a mother of 3 boys and quite active. Feel free to add me as well

I like this Friday morning weigh in idea!!! I joined mfp last year and had good success and great support. This spring my mother was diagnosed with cancer and was gone in two months .. it was really brutal! needless to say I have been "anesthetizing" for a little while. Enough of the "sob" story... I am back and ready to…

I am back after a little "hiatus". My mother was diagnosed with cancer in April of this year and by June she was gone. Needless to say I have been "anesthetizing" for a little while. And to top it off I turned 40 in may! Luckily I signed up to run a marathon this fall so I have been getting off the couch but it is time to…

Sort of off topic but I seem to have developed an allergy to wine/alcohol! went to a wine tasting and I woke up the next day with my eyes swollen shut. Thought it was an isolated incident. Went to a wedding and didn't have a problem, but two days later I had 2 sips of a chardonnay, I have all the time, and my eyes…

3/19 163 3/26 161 ill take it! Come to me 150's!!!!

Sw 164 cw 162 Gw 135 or size 6 whichever comes first! I'm really good at exercise, having a hard time with my calorie intake... sabotaging myself . Time to make a change!

I would replace your strength training with p90x. And run on strength days. Definitely give yourself the rest day and don't run on plyo day. The recovery weeks you are wide open maybe take the yoga days off and run on the others. Check out how they organized the doubles workout it is sort of the same thing you are doing,…

I just started the hybrid yesterday as well. I really like my p90 and insanity and am really excited to combine the two!

Definitely take your measurements! I gained 7 lbs in the last month and my measurements and clothes are the same. Especially if you are strength training. The muscle is going to take up less space but the scale may not change. I am also using my clothes as a barometer. The scale is a tricky mind mess. Maybe don't weigh and…

I've been derailed lately... stress, PMS excuses excuses excuses. I got back into my old habits and found myself craving that glass of wine to take the edge off today. I also stopped losing and think I might have gained, don't want to check,its depressing.:^) I am happy to report I am typing this and having my tea. I did…

I'd like to join, need more motivation to get moving. Monday 1/16 771 walking stairs 60 mins, push up, dips 20 mins tuesday 1/17 550 bootcamp 60 mins Need to average 900 calories a day for the next 4 days with one rest day. thanks

I speak for myself and have allowed myself to have a glass of wine, if its in my calorie allowance for the day and if I don't NEED it! I was doing a great amount of anesthetizing. If i'm able to enjoy a glass and stop because I want to and its a great accompaniment to a meal or a good glass with friends. In terms of weight…

"one foot in front of the other, then get up and do it all over again" 9 lbs is a drop in the bucket compared to what you have accomplished so far ... keep up the Fantastic work, you are absolutely inspiring

I LOVE how you explained it as a food tantrum!! That is awesome! Gonna use that!

I am so impressed with all the posts, whether abstaining or moderating I think we have all come a long way! I don't even crave it during the week anymore. And the daily guilt is basically gone! I definately have more energy and have found that i am even more productive. It is amazing what a daily drinking habit did to my…

My husband is Korean, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Korean food. Fortunately it is basically healthy lots of fresh, crazy ingredients, however it is LOADED with sodium. Because of the way they have always prepared it and the fermentation of Kim Chee it is a real challenge to watch the sodium. I am always at least 5lbs heavier after…

I think breathing causes me to retain water :tongue:

An occasional drink or 4 is ok, I speak for myself my issue was that many, most nights. i think as we progress on this journey it is going to become something we may or may not want to do as opposed to something we have to do. And the more it feels crappy the next day the less incentive there is to imbibe unless its a…

This is the first morning that i haven't woken up with a headache like i'm hung over!

My eldest is on a tea kick with me and generally in true mommy form when they like something I get excited a jump in. I have purchased so many different teas in the last year its ridiculous. I didn't even think about the wine last night (it was a first) because of all the tea excitement! ( its amazing what we get excited…

Congratulations on the good news !
