I have learned a lot about fitness over the years and what works for me. I have also learned that everybody is different. I think what I really hate are all of the commercials on the radio and TV right now telling people that they can lose that "belly fat" by taking a pill, no exercise, no change of diet. OH PLEASE!

When I was a little kid and our family took road trips, I used to think that the cars going over the overpasses on the highway, were toy cars! Bahhaaaa! My kids howled when I told them that!

Hi! I'm a female, 54 and have worked out since my late teens. My favorite exercise is bike riding, and I still do that, averaging about 14-15 mph. I walk and do exercise dvds with some light weights, when the weather is not good. I try to work out 4 times a week, because I do think a break is helpful. I do have some pain,…

I put on something the other day that I used to wear 15 pounds ago, and I felt like I had gained everything back! I felt awful in an outfit I had previously loved. I don't think it was THAT big on me, but it made me feel yuck, so I chucked it. I decided to go through a lot of things, and now they are in a bag in the trunk…

My daughter and I watched it last night. The guy in the restaurant whose eyes practically came out of his sockets when he saw the food his friends were eating, then picking on everything they ate and how many calories were in it. I wouldn't have invited him to eat dinner with me. I might be dieting but I don't pick on what…

I weigh on Wednesdays, first thing in the morning, after going to the bathroom. Then I pace in front of the scales for a minute or two trying to get psyched up! Today was a good day!

My friend says her husband just "thinks" about losing weight and loses!!

I'm not worried. When I signed on here to lose weight, MFP told me I needed to eat 1240 calories a day or something. I tried that for a while, and wasn't seeing any results...except the obvious result of being really hungry! I do exercise practically every day, and seek to eat back most of my calories. I decided to up my…

You look great, and the stories are NEVER boring!! Yay for you!:flowerforyou:

I cannot stand those creepy ventriloquist dummies!!

This is good advice!

You've done great! Looking forward to seeing more amazing results from your determination!:flowerforyou:

HA! This reminds me of my 5th grade Christmas gift exchange. As I got my present, this girl at another desk had her hands folded in a pleading gesture for me not to open the present. It was a pair of panties!! She was just as mortified as I was...her mother thought it would be a good idea! Boys in the class too!

8 of them, and the one I miss is the fruit and vegetable servings. I eat them, but I can't say it's 5 every day

From White Christmas, my daughter and I just watched it the other night! Phil Davis: My dear partner, when what's left of you gets around to what's left to be gotten, what's left to be gotten won't be worth getting, whatever it is you've got left. Bob Wallace: When I figure out what that means I'll come up with a crushing…

Congratulations on your success with your weight loss! I think you do need a rest day or two during the week. 4 or 5 days if exercise a week is what I usually get, and maybe some days it is just walking, which is still great. Reading what you have done so far is amazing, how you couldn't even make it to the mailbox, and…

Gorgeous!!

My daughter just bought some skinny jeans at Old Navy. I like them too, but am noticing they are not as easy to find If you find some, stock up!

I like pet peeve threads! Every time they come up, I think of another one. People who, for instance, go through the drive thru at a bank, but they have issues, that really should have brought them inside. Drive thru "anythings" should be for those who have quick and easy transactions.

I do. When I ride a bike for instance, I can actually burn about 700 calories. If I'm trying to stick to 1500 calories consumed, and then burn 700, I'm only getting about 800 calories, which is called starvation to me! If I don't eat enough after that kind of exercise, I get sick. Not good. I have lost weight by eating…

I bought a new pair of jeans today...size 4. :drinker: :blushing:

You look beautiful!!

i was the original poster of this topic and no one responded then, but I just saw where people had been posting! Since my original post back in May, a few things have changed. I had read about salt and sugar being a factor in having hot flashes, but I didn't really do anything about it. About a month ago, after purchasing…

I increased my calories per day to almost 1500. I thought MFP had it way too low. I wasn't losing any weight until I did that 3 weeks ago, and have lost 5 pounds. I'm due to weigh tomorrow, so we'll see how I did this week!

Carmel instead of CARAMEL!!! Notice the extra "a" in there. Probably, I'll be hearing more people eating "carmel" apples right now since fall is upon us. Also, axe for ask, supposably for supposedly, libary instead of library, I could probably think of more, but I have a time limit today!

Halloween, the first one. I saw it at the theater with a friend, and couldn't sleep that night. Then, when it was on TV once, my sister and I watched and sat in the same chair, hugging each other and screaming!

You are absolutely beautiful! 50 is awesome!

Great job!

Nice work!
