*THIS*!!

*THIS* It's true. It takes time for you to change your habits. Give it at least 27 days, that's how long it takes to commit to a new activity to make it habitual (or something close to 27!). But there are true statistics on this. You have to keep at it, even when you don't want to, and after a month, you'll start to notice…

No matter the workout, the weight loss has to start in the kitchen.

I have shoulder issues, so pushups are a problem for me - so I've switched to strengthen my back muscles instead by doing chest pull ups or lat pull ups with a TRX strap

Feel free to add me. Will try my best to provide daily support but that may not always happen just because life often gets in our way, but I'm a regular contributor to all of my friends and enjoy the support I receive in return. Happy logging and exercising! Cheers, Dave

This absolutely beats anything the rest of us have to say!

I know exactly what you mean - have always stuggled with nighttime eating - the couch is the problem - not being as active as day time, all of that adds up to excuses though - we have to take the crap out of the house and restock it with good choices, so that even when we do snack at night, we are snacking on low cal…

Being ignored when I hold a door open for someone. Seriously... it drives me bananas!

Wow... I guess I'll be the first to say it. Copious amounts of fornication!! Just throwing it out there. Surprised noone mentioned that one yet... go figure!

THIS!!!

Amazing! What terrific dedication you have shown to get to this point in your journey! Well done and congratulations. very inspiring! :-)

Hey marci, feel free to add me. I am a few years older, with two kids, busy professional as well, and have stuggled with my weight since my early 20s. I find the support on MFP is what keeps me accountable, and all that I ask of you is to provide the same level of support and hold me accountable, as I will try to do for…

I think there's a huge misconception women have that men have this "ideal" idea of what a woman should look like. Mainstream media are to thank for that. I can tell you this. There is no elusive ideal set of measurements. The measurements go with the individual - what I mean by that is this.... you can have the most…

So I guess I should say something about the fruit flies anyway... best way to capture them is to have a glass, or many, 1/3 fill with red wine vinegar, one drop of dish liquid, and then cover with saran wrap. before sealing, push down in the centre of the glass, so you have an upside cone with the plastic wrap. Flies go…

Too funny, I was about to say the same!!

I have not yet started with Paleo, but have been giving it some thoughtful consideration the last few weeks. There's a group at my gym that have done it and seen tremendous results. I'd be interested in learning more about Paleo and ideas for success, etc.

I think we never stop feeling that way until we see ourselves compared to our former selves. The best way to stop feeling this way, I think, is to place a before picture and current picture of yourself in a location that will remind you of how far you have come and help you change your mindset from one of loathing yourself…

I have no idea why there's such a focus on the scale - it's not your friend, so why rely on it so much?? I recommend letting the scale go and if you must check in with it, only do so once per week, better yet, once per month even. Checking scales daily will drive us mad. There are so many variables that determine weight,…

likewise, if you'd like some additional support and a kick in the pants every now and then, feel free to add me - I'll only ask for the same in return though, so let's get that outta the way right up front. :-)

birthdays come and go and they're not a huge deal for me - I always wanted them to be more of a big deal than they were but no longer. guess time cures everything!!
-
you should probably fill out your profile so that people know what you're goals are, and can determine if they are in a similar like-minded place to help you along and vice versa. having said that, feel free to check out my profile and if you're interested in some additional support and an occasional push, feel free to add…

Likewise, feel free to add me if you're looking for some additional support and an occasional push to get you going! Likewise, I'll ask for the same in return!

Hey Judy, I am 43 and have been using MFP for just over a year now. It's been a roller coaster ride at times, but many more ups than downs. If you're looking for support and motivation and willing to return the same, with no other agendas, then by all means feel free to add me. All the best! Dave

Oh how true!! I love being in my 40's. No better age! :-)

Incredible accomplishments to each and every one of you!! congrats for your hard work and dedication!!

I go to an awesome bootcamp where they do a lot of bodyweight exercises. Start off with a short 10 min run/job. Then 3 to 4 rounds of bodyweight exercises as follows: 10 deep squats, 10 pushups, 10 kettlebell (if have them) swings, 10 pullups (chin to bar or box jumps), some skiprope (awesome cardio), etc etc... mix it…

I don't think you need to cheat. If you build in some extra nice things that you like, into your daily or weekly meal plans, then you won't have to cheat and won't feel like you've let yourself down each time you do cheat. It's not about cheating. It's about finding the right balance that works for you. Tough to do, but…

BUMP - sounds great - gotta try these - have never ever boiled chicken breasts before though, so curious what kind of seasonings or anything you add to the water for flavour?
