I'm gonna give it shot. thanks so much for posting...and explaining!!! :-)

I don't restrict anything but instead I try to eat a better portion. I had pizza just today (1/2 of a cheese personal pan from Pizza Hut and 1 breadstick). I definitely make good choices 80-90% of the time but for me this is a life change and I don't want to live on a "diet". I always make sure to drink a LOT of water and…

Junior High school. That was 33 YEARS ago and we'll celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary next week!

One very spoiled, 180lb MOOSE (Mastiff) that thinks she's a lap dog and takes up 3/4 of a king size bed! :-) Love my Emma dog!

I'd like to join too, please!

I'm BACK!! Wonderful trip! We logged over 150 miles on foot in 15 days and 2 days were pretty much all car travel and another 2 days we were on the bullet train to/from Kyoto. Not too shabby. I maintained my weight which was really all I was hoping for. I'm still fluctuating a bit, due to travel/water I'm sure. I've…

I'm BACK!! Japan was fantastic! We trekked over 150 miles (per BodyMedia Fit) in 15 days! It was crazy and considering 2 days were spent in car and 2 days on the bullet train...pretty amazing. No wonder my feet hurt! :-) I'm logging but I'm taking it slow and easy this week - a little recoup time. It appears I held my…

I would suggest cutting your deficit to only lose 1/2lb wk. This will increase your calories but you still shouldn't gain. I would kick back up you exercise as much as possible to your regular exercise routine (even if you have to EASE back into it). I'm just coming off a three week vacation and that is what I did and it…

Almonds

Diet Coke - like the others, I NEED my fizz! Drinking LOTS of water and green tea but I still need a fuzzy soda!

I bought one in July and I love it. I have found the burn rates also to be quite different that the machines at the gym or the burn amounts listed here on MFP BUT I also found that using a HRM gave me very different readings (much closer to the BodyMedia) too. PROS: easy as pie to use. Put it on and wear it. You can wear…

2125 done so far! Great challenge guys!! Keep up the swinging!

Still hanging in there at 157.2. Eating what feels like MUCH more...hoping for something next week. Second round of Synvisc shots went just as well, only one more this Thursday! I actually think that my knees feel better too. They seem to be less "crackly" :-) GW - 145 (Dec 25) Week 1 - missed Week 2 - 162 (Aug 29) Week 3…

Such a refreshing thread!!! I'd love to join your group. I too get VERY grumpy when I'm hungry! I just upped my calorie intake last week. I have a BodyMedia Fit and I've finally compiled enough info to know that I'm creating a larger deficit than I intended and I'm NOT losing weight as one would expect at that deficit. For…

veggie omelet all the way! TONS of veggies...so yummy! Loving the fresh local squash available right now. This past week, I chopped veggies ahead of time so that it was ready to go for the rest of the week (LOL - only lasted 3 days though before I was out!)

Not sure what happened, but I really didn't fall off the face of the earth! I had a lot of travel for work the past 3 weeks and while I was busy keeping up with logging and exercising, apparently I forgot to post on this thread!! Sorry!:blushing: what's new with me: I got Synvisc shots in both knees yesterday. No problems…

I have RA (20+yrs) and was recently diagnosed with OA in my knees. After losing much of the weight, I wanted to try running again and started the C25K program (great program, highly recommend it). I was able to get up to wk 6 but then my knees were just hurting too much. Took a break, started over, and again wk 6 kicked my…

RIP - definitely one of the good guys! You will be missed.

Oh, my! Told you checking in would be a challenge for me!

Meals were not my friend today. Too many things to do and the twins wanted pizza...I didn't eat. Will do better there tomorrow. Exercise - about 90 mins of walking but not enough to get my heart rate up - back to the Y tomorrow (actually...i'm going to go swing my kettlebell while watching tv for a bit :-)) Water - easy…

I'm in again!! Only lost 3lbs last month but the last few are the hardest, right?? :-) Hoping for big loss this month as I am going to Japan for 3 weeks in Nov to visit my husband and then having foot surgery as soon as I return, so I will be out of commission for a few weeks! Good luck everyone!
