Story of everyday of my life.

This is how I feel about my late night cravings. If I can just get through the next hour. Stay strong friends it does get better.

I don't mind being 44. I just had some health crap pop up. Seems like it is a magic number for some health issues to rear their ugly head. I know others who are 50 feeling great and nothing wrong. It seems to be all in the genes and how well you take care of health. Best wishes for the kid. I am sure you are going to love…

My biggest challenges are time to get a good workout, fibromyalgia and I am a very good cook but I special in high calorie comfort foods

You got me there. Let's change that to a "normal non-injury workout"

Thanks for sharing. I find your story very motivating to keep moving and hearing how others with the same conditions have overcome. Here's what I do besides logging calories. I recently shared this with a new friend and feel it applies here. I walk when I can or use my elliptical because there is no impact on joints. Small…

Back from Hawaii and have lost 3 of the 5 lbs. I gained while there. It was so hard to log because there were a lot of new foods. It was hard to believe I could gain 5 lbs. with all the hiking, swimming, biking etc. goes to show how important healthy eating habits are.

Changing your attitude, mental blocks, eating habits, physical limitations, and emotional endurance is a journey of metamorphosis. It won't happen in a day, it won't be easy but in the end you will emerge better, stronger, healthier, and more confident in yourself. Well worth the struggle I would say. Stay strong and…

Down 25 lbs and feeling pretty good. Looking forward to more success.

I like being in 40 in most ways. Even though it is more difficult to stay in shape I am more willing to make the effort because I realize it won't get easier in my 50s. If I want to be active, enjoy my grandkids, enjoy that well deserved retirement it is critical to start on a journey to a healthy me.

I think I am going to a bit more umph in my days.

When I first started I wasn't sure I could it. I pushed forward each day and some days were a step back. I pumped myself up, got some good friends on here that pump me up when I am down, reminded myself why I am doing this, dug deep and pushed on. Now I am 20 pounds less and more confident that I can go the distance. Not…

My daughter is pcos and it has caused her to be insulin resistant. Weight is hard but her medication has helped a lot. She take metformin. When they finally got her at the right dose she 30lbs on 4 months. Snacking is finding a healthy alternative to keep you satisfied. Mine is red delicious apples. Sweet, high fiber, low…

I am Kelly, turning 44 in a just a few days. I had back surgery a year ago and have fibromyalgia. I enjoy all the support that I have received from the friends I have made here. If you find yourself in need of motivational support and someone to bounce ideas and thoughts off of I can do that. Just send over a friend…

I am going to check out the Google app. I am also on Garmin connect as kelbels.

In my facebook timeline MyFitnessPal is asking the question "what is the best piece of advice of health advice you have received" here is my answer. Weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise. My doctor, is a sports medicine doctor for a well known sports organization told me this. When I stopped thinking I could exercise…

A warm welcome to new people and a friendly hello to all the regulars. Please be sure to friend each other and introduce yourself. I have enjoyed all the support I have been recieveing. It helps so much to have help from those who are reaching for similar goals of health, and fitness. Keep friending

I am finding that having a good mix of male a female friends to support me is good. Each seems to offer a very different approach, attitude, encouragement and energy level to the whole support system.

Hi I just turned 44. Send me a friend request. Would love to work together in this journey. SW 220 CW 187.5 GW 170 Or lower [/quote] All your numbers and goals are so close to mine

I am exercising, watching my calories reaching my step goals and haven't lost a pound in over a week. Staying strong but man is it frustrating.

Let's just say today is not a winning day. Fat Tuesday is sooooo hard. Doughnuts are my kryptonite and Paczki's are pretty much a filled doughnut calling my name. I knew I should have stayed home.
