Okay I read the article that @speyerj posted the link for and I found it had some useful information and explained a lot of important terms that are helpful. I especially liked the part about NEAT because that is what I need to work on now. I actually copied that part to study for later. So yes it was helpful to me.…

@girlinkaz amazing planning. I love hearing about all those NSV @trinati2001 I remember those days of afterschool activities. Sometimes I would walk too but others I was tired from work and would just read. I also remember how hard it was on dinners too. Now working at home I can take a break and get dinner started before…

@misplacedma I am glad you concentrated on food and that your trainer is starting at the beginning. It is important to build core strength and not risking injury. @AlexandraFindsHerself You are making progress and it may be much more important than what is on the scale. So congrats on all those NSV. @trinati2001 you are…

I didn't gain when I was eating too little but I wasn't losing either. I didn't read the blog in question. I am just saying that slow metabolism can stall weight loss from eating too little. MFP had set my calorie goal at below my BMR even though I set my weight loss goal for only 1 pound a week loss. I ate so I didn’t go…

@Spotteddingo I haven’t read the blog post in question but I do agree with you that if you eat too little your metabolism will slow. I lost 20 lbs eating below my BMR without knowing anything about BMR and then I hit a long plateau. I ate less, I exercised more, I changed my exercise, etc etc and my weight didn’t budge. I…

Well, I have been coming down from my higher weight last weekend. I exercised almost everyday or was very active the day I didn't. One day only a small walk at twilight enjoying the sunset but had some good walks. Still no weight training due to such sunny beautiful days and not wanting to reinjure my elbow. Thinking about…

@uyister glad you are home safe and working on you exams again. @JNettie73 I lost my pregnancy weight with my 1st born then had an ectopic pregnancy. I couldn’t eat the whole time and it affected my metabolism so I wasn’t able to lose as easily. I had a similar incident with a neighbor child but it wasn’t as public.…

I have been reading the last few days of posts. It was nice to read some of your stories. @MuttiNM wow on you hiking trip and it was fun to hear all your goals you have achieved. I hope you Dad feels better soon. I forgot to mention that the week before last I was having elbow pain. I am not sure if it is from how I have…

I did well this week in that I exercised and got sun everyday. Yesterday we only had a short walk at twilight though so we need to do some gardening or take a walk this weekend. We have had gorgeous weather. However I ate more calories this week. It was at or under my goal net calories but higher than what I usually eat to…

A little update. Lost almost pound. Hope this April is like last April in terms of weight loss. Keri 68 years old, Height: 5'6" SW: 266 lbs (Dec 2019) 2/1/2020: 263.6 10/19/2020: 245.4 1/1: 251.2 gained after going back to work and being more sedentary 2/3: 250.4 2/6: 256.6 adjusted according to my new scale. 2/7: 255 -1.6…

Although I logged in my food during the work week I haven’t gotten on to this thread to end March or start April until now. Keri 68 years old, Height: 5'6" SW: 266 lbs (Dec 2019) 2/1/2020: 263.6 10/19/2020: 245.4 1/1: 251.2 gained after going back to work and being more seden 2/3: 250.4 2/6: 256.6 adjusted according to my…

@AlexandraFindsHerself Hope you are feeling better after the vaccine. @misplacedmama Nice NSV @tsokalas2 usually MFP sets calories pretty low 1200 is low for regular height but for those who are shorter it may not be too low. @alymc2 Nice pictures of your grandchildren. So far there has been a new thread each month thanks…

@barbiecat We are staying home too but partially it is because we still have our youngest (26) at home and they aren’t vaccinated yet. But then there are the variants and the high positivity rates. Once others are vaccinated and the rates lower I feel it is safer. We have a jazz concert that was postponed last year until…

@dansemaillives losing an average of 1.3 lbs a week isn't too fast. Losing over 2 lbs a week is where it gets to be more questionable especially for those who weigh less. However my weight varies widely daily. I can have a big loss one day and a gain another so that is why I said an average of 1.3 lbs which is what your…

Not a bad week last week. Yesterday (Saturday) I made up for missing last Monday exercise. Otherwise I got a walk or strength training each day. Yesterday we all (my youngest and husband) went for a walk along the waterfront with Marina and park. It was nice but I got weak on the way back. I decided it was that I hadn't…
-
@ladychr0nic that's what I need a puppy! I already have twin overgrown kittens though. I suspect working night shift does complicate things. I recalculated my BMR and TDEE and I decided to see what MFP would set my calorie goal at for 1 lb/week loss. It was higher than what I had set my calorie goal lately but not as high…

Usually on Saturday we have a healthy yummy brunch anytime between 10-12ish. Then I usually get on my laptop and catch up on any logging both here and on my spreadsheet. Then I read through your posts from the last time I have been on this thread. Today I was in the middle of doing that and my youngest came up and…

@wanderinglight Hope you had a great birthday this week. The birding sounds great! Hope you are enjoying your road trip! @Kaken21 Hope your kiddo is better. Good progress on your weigh-in. You make me wonder if I am under on my calories. @pearsonlinda30 nice to see you back @goal06082021 funny this is the time I usually…
-
@glojlilly I need to stay as active as you do. @alteredsteve1 we have some of those somewhere but never where I need them. I think they would help some but part of it is the angles involved. I will dig them out and give them a try with a hill. @j29t nice having a trip to see your Grandchildren coming up. I agree with…
-
@cpnknight sorry to hear about you elbow! @jm216 yes you are making progress toward Onderland. Well another day with sun and got out for a good walk with my youngest again today. This is great for us both. They did a bit of running as well. Mondays are the days that seem to be the hardest to take a break from work to get…
-
@changeforeverlj congratulations on a year of achievement. Just went for another walk with my youngest and got out and got some sun. Need to drink some more today though. I read all the posts since I last posted. So just a small mid-week check in which I usually don’t get to during the week. Did well at meal planning and…
-
Last week was pretty good too. I didn't exercise on Monday which was busy at work but I did a strength training on Tuesday and long walks the rest of the week. My youngest has started to walk with me everyday which I love since they need the exercise and to get out in the sun. We won't have as nice weather this next week…
-
I am glad to hear that @Karlschaefer, @alteredsteve1, @RetiredAnd LovingIt didn’t have much sideeffects with your 2nd doses. I did but none were the ones I was worried about. I can take feeling tired, having a chill, and feeling a little light headed and taking a half day at work. I made up for it the next week and didn’t…
-
It was a pretty good week again. I didn't get exercise on Monday which was a busy day at work. But I did weight training on Tuesday and got walks with my husband on Wednesday and my youngest on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That is like a double win because until recently my youngest wasn't getting much exercise. They…

Yay! What good news!

Well I am now 68. We celebrated my birthday with take out French food and I managed to stay under my calorie goal by skipping lunch. I even lost a pound this weekend. Last week was a good week. I got my 2 strength training sessions in, 2 long walks and a short one. It was sunny so hopefully I got some vitamin D. I need to…

Sorry to hear about your father. Hope you are able to get back on track this month.
