Thanks for the idea of nuts. I'm not really crazy about them but could have enough to up my calories. I was shocked to see how high my sodium intake was especially since I never use/cook with salt and i don't eat frozen foods. I did find lots of sodium in my salad dressing and in my reduced fat crumbled blue cheese. I will…

Best of luck to all of us!

When i tried to friend MsBethann it said I had a wrong name. Are you sure it's spelled correct?

Welcome to MFP! i have sent friend request to both you and MsBethann

I just came across the Speedo site the other day. As for now, I'm working on distance for an open water swim. Pretty much swimming 2 miles 3 times a week. When that is easier for me, I would love to do some of the workouts and be on your team Cris

Chicken fajita with a side salad

The last tri I was in I had a bad bike accident. I did manage to get going after being checked out by the medics and did finish the race... but I have been afraid of my bike ever since. Now that the weather is getting nicer in CT I hope to get on a bike again...first at the beach on a flat, quiet area and hopefully conquer…

Hi My name is Cris and I'm on here every day. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I work out 6 times a week so maybe i can give you exercise support!

Ok...so count me in for way too large calves...they are hereditary...yes Lace up boots are about the only boots I can wear...and...forget about skinny jeans..lol Although I'm not thrilled with my calves, they are mostly muscle now and i wish I could say the same for my stomach!

Sarah Hi...welcome!! Congrats on doing your two miles and in a great time! I'm still not able to swim 2 miles straight. Today I swam 72 laps (1 mile in 25 yard pool). And then I broke up the second mile with swimming, pulling and kicking. It took me 65 min. Looking forward to sharing swimming stories/support with you Cris

Thank you for helping...I guess it will take time to figure this out!

Hi I've never done Jenny Craig, so no comment on program. I'm currently a weight watchers member and it along with excercise is working for me. I do think that a change would be good for you but just realize that your motivation to stay on program will equal your success...good luck...feel free to friend me if you want!

Thanks...I'm trying but still can't seem to get it....I'm sure it will just take time...

I too am having the same problem and posted on here this am. I can't help but am interested in anyone who replies. I'm also over 50. Good luck!!
