57, 5'8". Have lost 23 lbs in MFP since March. Slowest weight loss in the planet. 2 more to go...I switched to eating more in August...have only lost several lbs on it as of today. However, I am more toned, stronger, and have never felt better! I look as if I weigh at least 5 lbs less than what the scale says. I have…

I agree...cold after injury. Advil. 600 mg in one dose I had disk surgery last year. Make sure to put yourself in back friendly position. Either lie on your back or sit upright with pillows in lumbar area...whatever is comfortable. Hope you feel better. I sympathize as I've been there.

Naturally..li get to follow you, the plank queen! 9/10. 2 minutes Cumulative total: 13.25/60

Bump for additional responses

2.25 minutes...yup...counting every minute! I'll catch up!

This is fun! Have you all measured before we started?

Fixed my ticker...

Here's my update! Highest at one time is 2 minutes!

Thanks for starting this...I'm up to 90 seconds/plank so look forward to killing it in September. Here's to strong cores! Susan

Started this today ...looking forward to feeling great and losing the last 5 pounds! Thanks Dan for all of your work on this...makes total sense! Susan

Thanks for organizing this again...just lost a tiny bit last time...hoping to lose my final 3 lbs before hitting goal! Susan

I use Runkeeper...thus far on routes whose distance I already know, I have found it to be extremely accurate. It's free for the basic version which is perfect!

I'm in my 50's...have lostb20 since Feb and have 3 to go. Open diary...active logger. Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me...open diaries are best...easier to help each other...I'm on here multiple times per day Lost 20 since Feb and have about 3 to go.

I'm in my 50's but feel free to add...very active here and workout most days. I've been here since Feb and lostb20...3 more to go! Feel free to add...

Congratulations! Feel free to add me...I only have a few pounds left also...been here since February. Happy to support and be supported.

Do you just eat them as a snack? Or mix with something else? Love the idea!!

Yummy yogurt smoothie 1 cup Greek non fat yogurt (add a touch of splenda) 1 cup mixed frozen fruit 1/4 cup pineapple juice Add protein powder if you wish Yummm!

Since Feb, Lost 20...3 to go I've lost so slowly that it's been like maintenance...add me if you like,

5'8" with large frame... Currently at 159 and heading to between 155-157 as goal. Puts me firmly in 10's and some 8's...any less is not attractive on me.

I'm in...can only do planks from my knees since I had back surgery Bent arms 8/1. 90 seconds...initial plank 8/2 8/3 8/4 8/5

I'm a believer that it's not just calories but WHAT you eat...changing habits for the long term. What was successful for me...I upped my protein, more veggies...no sugar, no unprocessed carbs...less bread..lots of fruit, exercise 3-5 days a week. I have lost weight before without exercising , but in my fifties it's harder…

Frozen grapes have saved me! Sugar free Popsicles

First significant loss in a month ...LOST 1 1/2...and was on vacation last week so it's a double victory!

Welcome back...good for you for returning! I've just lost 20! Made it over the hump this morning...yippee. MPF works! Feel free to add me...I have a few friends and can encourage and ask for that in return...

A slice of Arnold health-ful toast with cottage cheese and sf jam...and a cup of strawberries and blackberries...yum!

I'm in for round 2! I only lose 4 last time but since I only have 5 left I will need extra motivation! Thank for doing this! Susan

What everyone else said... I've had two plateaus of over a month each...frustrating but look for other successes besides that blasted scale number...are you clothes fitting better? If you are working out, do you feel trimmer? I you follow the plan, it will come off... Increase strength training Change up your exercise…
