I'm back at MFP after several years of slacking & I'm puzzled by all these tracking gadgets. I don't really get it. 10 years ago I used a little pedometer & it matched MFP calories burned almost exactly. Now I'm using MapMyWalk, & it synches with MFP. The calories burned are the same. Do I need to track my steps, too? What…

As soon as my husband says the word, "diet," he loses 5 pounds. Don't compete with the other sex.

H@ly m@ly! :noway: 9 days of inservice????? That's cruel & unusual! :wink: :laugh: But the 4 days left with students sounds pretty good, though. We still have 3 weeks.

Yep. I'm addicted too. I come here everyday. :bigsmile:

That bugs me too. I'm wearing clothes right now that vary from 16 to 24! I have a few blouses that still don't fit that are size 20. :grumble: I have old clothes in my closet that didn't fit for a long time so I'm recycling them, trying to wear them out until I reach my goal & can buy new stuff. It's annoying.

I didn't lose any weight this week, but I met all my exercise goals & my food goals every day but Tuesday. I just walked in a 5K cancer benefit race. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

So far so good. I wasn't able to get in all my workouts this week, but I donated blood yesterday on the way home from work. Tonight I did my 4 mile walk. Saturday is a cancer benefit 5K! I'm excited.

You'll do fine if you want to! :wink: You've had some good advice here. Just stick to it! Stay away from gravy, fried foods, gobs of dressing,butter, canned sugary fruit & desserts. Talk a lot. Drink a lot of water. You can do it! :bigsmile:

When I first started here, I thought walking for 30 minutes, burning around 200 calories was great. :drinker: Then I was impressed by the folks here who REALLY work out & burn a LOT of calories on a regular basis. That was a completely new concept for me. So I started reading the fitness posts & was so inspired. I can walk…

We can buy a small salad at school, but I think it's really over priced. My hubby grills chicken breasts for me on the weekend when we're cooking anyway. Then I cut up raw veggies so that each day I take celery, cukes, red pepper slices & chicken. I usually eat it cold, but you could heat up the chicken if you want.…

So far, so good. Everything has been logged all week. :bigsmile: 20 push ups - check :bigsmile: 100 sit ups - check :flowerforyou:

Good luck. That's a tough one. Some parents just won't let their kids take responsibility. It's really too bad. their kids are the ones who miss out. Hang in there.

You have some good advice here. I have a friend who asks for a take out container as soon as her plate arrives. Then she cuts everything in half & puts it in immediately. Everyone admires her will power & no one ever thinks it's weird. It works for her. I make sure I burn a lot of calories so I feel like I earned a…

Fridays are good for me. :flowerforyou: One flower for me! I logged my food, burned 800 calories, 20 push ups & 100 sit ups! wahooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

I was curious about running/jogging, too. So during my regular walk, I started by jogging for 30 seconds at a time, then walked fast the rest of the time. I was amazed at how i was able to increase the jogging spells. Have fun!

We start testing this week - how about y'all? And of course, rain is predicted. :grumble:
