Just an example of my quirky sense of humor. :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

Welcome!!! This is a great place. You will like it here. Jump right in, join a group, etc...etc. All the best on your journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're not alone. Realize that you are special and unique. There is no one on this earth like you. Love yourself for who you are. And always remember this, until YOU give yourself permission to have all the wonderful things that you deserve in life, you will never get them. They will always be just around the corner.…

Welcome from Austin. Good luck on your journey. You will find a wealth of resources and information here.

I am 50 as well. If I can do it, you can do it!

Good job. One pound at a time.....soon you will reach your goal!

Welcome and all the best!!!

Okay.....30 minutes of strength and weight training today....focused on upper body.:smile:

My Goal.....from 229 to 219.

Welcome!!! I have lived in Austin since 1986. Love it here.

Several things can cause this. Low blood sugar from not having enough fuel in your system. (i.e. Morning workout.....12 hours since your last meal....low energy.) Even motion sickness, according to my trainer, like doing crunches and sit ups. Also, oxygen desaturating during exercise. ( not getting enough oxygen.)

30 minutes plus other stuff. :glasses:

Okay, I have been weighing on Monday mornings but I went ahead and did it today with the rest of the group.. And to my surprise, I lost 2 pounds in 4 days!!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

30 minutes at 3 mph....can't wait till Monday weigh in!

Great info. I was wondering how many calories I burned during my weight training. Now I know! Thanks for the great site.

Today....30 min. and 1.6 miles. (Doesn't include other stuff I did.)

From one 50 yr old to another, YOU CAN DO IT!! I decided to join a gym, quit smoking, and get back to my high school weight. I have a long way to go, but I am pumped and motivated. I also want to get healthy. I plan on staying around for a while. :glasses: I actually started out 4 weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds even…

Welcome!!! I know you will love the site. It was hard for me to count calories too, before coming here. The site has made planning my meals so easy and keeping my calories at the proper level. Good luck!!

Welcome!! Great job on losing the 40 pounds!!! Now you know you can tackle 12.

You rock girl!!!

Today....30 min. and 1.6 miles. (Doesn't include other stuff I did.) :happy:

Welcome Rachael. If I can help, just ask. :wink:

Thanks for the welcome. I did 35 minutes at 3 MPH on the treadmill at the gym.

Hey!!! I weighed in at 232 this morning. Do I qualify? I need friends and a group to belong in. :happy:

I agree with all the others. You are doing well. In fact, with exercise you are probably losing fat and not water. I started about 4 weeks ago and as of last Monday I went from 240 down to 234. I joined here on Tuesday so I started here at 234. That is a little over a pound a week for me. I am doing 45 minutes of cardio…

My boss has a Wii. We did boxing matches at one of the company meetings. Man, I felt it, quite a workout. I think just about any game on the Wii will help because it requires actual movement other than your fingers. On my list to buy.

You can do it!!! :smile:
