What a cool idea! Can't wait to get home from work to do it.

I actually finish my work faster by taking frequent movement breaks than when I sit and stare at the computer for long stretches. Another plus is, I feel sooooo much better at the end of the day.

I reread your ideas and have already incorporated most of them in my life. I watch very little TV but when I do, it is while stepping on my mini trampoline. I do my social media with the iPad on the end of the bar as I prance in place. All of your ideas are great and so easily done. BTW....according to my Fitbit, I got at…

The Fitbit dashboard now has the hourly active minutes. I set mine from 6am to 8pm and I am going to get at least 250 steps in each of those hours. Doesn't sound like much but for someone tied to a desk 7.5 hours a day, it takes both awareness and commitment.

It is rainy here so spending my lunch hour on the walk track and elliptical at the gym.

I don't know about clean but they are way better than a handful of chips or a candy bar for a post gym snack.

Looks good. I will have to do something else on the push up day because of my shoulder but I will chinoiserie something worthy.

I love quinoa and my husband hates it. When we have stir-fry, mine is on a bed of quinoa and his is on a bed of rice. I do season mine with curry powder and rosemary.

Nothing is forbidden! That is where moderation and cheat days come in handy.

I agree. Lose it slowly so your skin has time to adjust as you go and build muscle. You will probably still have some saggy skin but you will be healthy. :smile:

My daughter had these for desert today and they were great. They are every bit as good as ice cream.

I agree with this statement 100%. I have gone from 186 to 156 and have had ice cream nearly every night. I have yo-yoed my since I was in my early teens and it took me nearly 40 years to realize that no food is off limits. When something becomes forbidden, that is when I start to obsess and end up on a binge. It is the…

I don't resent the remark but I do find this reply to be funny. I am 55 years old. As for the macros and TDEE, you know the old saying "it ain't rocket science"? Well, it is rocket science.

I have the FitBit One and absolutely love it. So far I has narrowly escaped the washer but otherwise no incident. I don't always make you 10K steps a day but find it to be a great motivator, and I need all the motivation I can get. My daughter has the Flex and loves hers too.

My husband and I both love it. It is one of the few shows that I watch reruns of.

Thank you for clearing that up, :-)

Even my very worst hot flashes never caused me to sweat.

Boy do I ever need to do that, but I have no idea where to start.

I "bumped" this yesterday and finally got a chance to read it today. THANK YOU!!!

BUMP

I enjoyed your story very much and wish you continued success. You are very inspirational.

Used to be about half of a large, supreme pizza. That is, back in the old and ignorant days. Now, it is mixed veggies, seasoned with Mrs Dash on a bed of quinoa that I have seasoned with curry powder, rosemary and caraway seeds. I love it but my husband won't touch it on a bet!

I hadn't heard that but it would explain a lot. I do know that the hot flashes cause a sudden drop in my blood pressure. I told my doctor about this and she said that it was common. The heat causes our blood vessels to dilate quickly which causes the blood pressure to suddenly drop. I can't say menopause is the most fun I…

Gary, when you say 50 split squats or 50 squat kicks, do you mean 50 total or 50 on each leg? Thanks

I broke yesterday's full body session into 2 parts with the intention of doing it as one workout, then life happened. So 50 jumping jacks, 25 burpees, etc. It was still an awesome workout. Don't know if I would have survived another 25 burpees anyway.

3.3 miles on the elliptical and a mile walking. I finished the tab atlas too.

I did Friday's challenge.

Just finished the advanced workout. Whew! I am whipped but as proud of myself as I can be. I went to the gym on my lunch hour and did 2.1 miles alternating the speed between 3.4 & 3.9 mph and the incline between 0% & 8%.

Friday is my official weigh-in day, but last week it was 158.4.
