Where is exercise called "clearing snow moderate intensity?" Had a good day yesterday, under my goal on cals and a decent stationary bike workout. Getting stronger but cramping up. Maryland is lovely with sun and snow this am Cindy in SoMD

Carey – Congrats on the big switch from ordering out to cooking! Meal planning and grocery trip to someplace with wonderful produce, bread and cheese really makes the difference for me! Janet says “savor” and I have been taking that to heart. I work on cooking wonderful things that are fresh, high in fiber and protein. I…

3/4/2105 Barb – Thanks for keeping this going strong and keeping us all inspired! Praise and recognition! How did we get 7 pages already - I can't keep up! Katla – your quote has really worked for me ““Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas A.…

Lunch time check in. 4 or 5" of snow here this am, but already starting to melt. I fell into a cracker trap today and yesterday – 12 Triscuits are 240 cal. Uh. Resting heart rate 72. Hmm. Hope the increased exercise will bring that down. Thanks for all the continued inspiration ladies! Cindy in SoMD

2/24 Good day all! I have just finished one month of this new smarter lifestyle. Had a few periods of stupid choices when busy or distracted but still 11lbs down. The first week of weight loss is always a lot, so I will need to work on consistency to get to my goal of 8 more lbs next month. As Vikki says - time for change…

Katla - Thanks for the encouragement. I noticed you started yoga when you decided to lose weight. I tried it, but I am so huge, and such bad knees that there is not much I can do. Did you manage to do yoga when you were really overweight?? Funnygirl 4000 – I wear a pair of light, fast drying black shorts over my suit. And…

Mary from MN – oh your skin and cellulite post made me happy! I’m 56, had a knee replacement last year, and the scar is barely noticeable. More evidence that our middle-aged skin can recover! Joann – add my as a friend if you want another accountability buddy. I have more than 100 to lose! Hi to Helen in Liverpool. Spring…

Today is Southern Maryland’s day to finally get snow. 9 degrees here this am. I’m supposed to fly to Boston tomorrow, so we’ll see how that goes. I wouldn’t worry much about it, but I am taking my elderly father to a funeral, so that complicates travel. I just had two great days of focusing on planning my eating and…

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I’ve logged for 16 days, lost 10 lbs. I feel a little stuck on weight, but I lost 2 lbs last week and 1.5 the week before. So a little care this week (many days left) and I should be good. I had a great day yesterday, and so far so good today! I spent some time today using my MFP…

2/14 Sat am check in … so many posts, its hard to keep up, but such good stuff! I'm not doing well, bad week. Didn't loose any weight this week. I thought I was being reasonably good, but got busy and tired and wasn't as careful with planning and measuring as I should have been. Threw a reception at work one afternoon and…

Hello group – I’m new a week of so ago. You all are amazing - thank you so much. Much wisdom, humor and tons of goo tips from an “experienced” group! My short-term weight goal for Feb is to get down to 280 (I was 295 my highest wt ever in mid Jan), part of a long but committed journey to a healthy weight. I’m 5’10”, and…

Set up a weight loss ticker. Lets see if it works! Hope to see very numbers with 3 digits some day!

hello all - what a great group! After my first post a few days ago I've been reading the discussion and getting lots of great input, feedback and just general friendliness. Love the quote "hunger is not an emergency!" Also loved the gif about how long it take to notice weight loss. So true. With probably 130-150 lbs to…

Thanks for the tips Barbie et al. Got it!

All- How do I "join" this group so it shows up on my home page without having to search around for it? Thanks!

Hi all, I would like to join your group. I have used MFP for a couple of years with a few periods of successful 20-30 lb weight loss but need to do more. I haven't done the social part of weight loss before, but doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition of idiocy! So this…

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you are and would like to join. Has anyone else joined, I can't find anything on the discussion board?

I all ... I saw this thread today and read some posts... what a positive and interesting group! This is my first post. I'm 54, 100 lbs overweight, back on track again now. Of course I've been through many diets over many years. I live in Slower (Southern) Maryland, an hour south of DC. I'm an environmental scientist,…
