As they say -better late than never. I lost about 60+ pounds while at college 2-4 years ago but life/reality happened and COVID hit. I need to lose my COVID fluff because I felt spectacular at my lowest weight (Dr. suggested). I am 58 yrs. old (ugh!) and a teacher. I want this to work! June Start Weight: 204.8 (6/29/21)…

I just found this blog here on MFP and it is about working out at your local park......the exercises look interesting. It is called The 30-Minute Bodyweight Workout: Playground Edition - See more at: http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/2013/10/08/the-30-minute-bodyweight-workout-playground-edition/#sthash.2T7PAJFC.dpuf Your three…

I love fresh flowers so years ago when I was losing weight with WW, I would go buy myself a rose or carnation. It would remind me all week long that I did a good job but also a reminder to stay on track. Bigger weight loss could be rewarded with a plant, new book or even a new pair of earrings. I know one time I even got a…

You go girl!!! Just started back on this journey. God IS good!! 'Nuf said. Sending a friend request; would love to share with someone who shares my faith!

Happily divorced after 28 years of marriage!! Consider myself single and ready to start dating.

Girlfriends and I are definitely going to see it!!!! Been divorced a year and can't wait to see a "fit" man! :blushing:

I turned 49 (eeeck) in April and have lost a little over 25 pounds since mid-December. Maybe I am naive, but what does the hormone thing have to do with losing weight? As long as I do my food journal everyday, it has been do I dare say easy. Makes me aware of what I am eating. My 15 year old has pushed me this past week or…

I love to read but am taking an American Literature after 1800's class and currently reading The Great Gatsby (hope something happens soon!). Just finished To Kill a Mockingbird, and before that, Death of a Salesman and Ethan Fromme (which I thought is the stupidest book ever written!!) Can't wait to be done with these so…

Bump - love the idea for Shepherd's Pie :)

Never bumped before but am heading for the grocery store to get me some wontons!

Again, I am so glad I asked this question. After seeing all the responses, I think it put a lot of people's minds at ease. Someone mentioned the 'inner chill'. I feel that at night and just lay there and shiver. Funny :bigsmile: I guess that is why these posts are helpful!! So everybody, stay warm! (as I sit here with a…

I am so relieved to hear others are cold/chilly too!! I thought I was going crazy!! Weird.

I have now read through all 17 pages of these posts and can't wait to post my b/a pictures. I am an old mom as my youngest will be 16 in May but it is finally time for me!! Everybody keep up the good work!

I used to own a coffee house named the Butterfly Kiss Koffee House (had to carry the "k" from kiss to the coffee) hence butterflykoffee. :drinker:

These look delicious! Do you suppose you could freeze them for a quick lunch?

Oh my goodness!!! What an inspiration to us all! Congrats on hitting the 300 mark and good luck with your future surgeries. I have a brother who is as big as you were; wish I could get him to see this and also be inspired. You are living proof that it can be done! May God continue to bless you in your new and exciting…

Congratulations!! You look fantastic! Keep up the great work! What an inspiration. I raise my cup to you :drinker:

Hey, I'm a 48 year old mother of 3 boys, 27, 23 & 15. Want to lose this weight before my family medical history catches up with me :happy: I have done great these first 2 days and hope and pray that I have the stick-with-it this time. Have made a huge change in my life this past year (divorced after 28 years) and am ready…

The only thing about the weight training is that everything I read says that you burn 400 calories in 20 minutes of kettlebell workout because of the extra, all -body movement? They definitely are a workout and I am just getting started :noway:

Prayers coming your way!!! God listens.

I'm new here (1st day!) and I recently gave up my Diet Coke, a long long-time habit. Within a month, I lost 8 pounds and did not have much of an appetite! Took me awhile to figure it out; thought I was sick. And I don't even miss it (much). I have a hard time drinking water so I drank dc instead, now I drink alot of coffee…

I'm new here but I take my calcium with a chocolate chew (Target brand - they taste better); one in the morning and one at bedtime. That way I am getting a fix and doing something good for myself. Also, in the past frozen chocolate chips do the trick too. Can't eat them fast because they are frozen so you have to let them…
