I love my early morning workouts. I am weird though, I prefer to work out in the dark with minimal light on. Just enough so I can see. I also like quiet, no noise at all, not even my husband's footsteps. I set the alarm for 4:30 every morning to work out in my basement gym while the house is still dark and quiet and my…

After an 18 month break because of an injury and health issues I started back on c25k a month ago. I was surprised to see I wasn't completely back to square one.

I am 60 years old. I am trying to lose about 25lbs. I am doing it very slow because the skin at this age isn't as resilient as our younger days. The last thing I want is baggy skin because I lost weight too fast and my skin couldn't keep up. I lost 4 lbs in October and I am happy with that. I am lifting weights so that…

I too am starting up again after gaining some back do to illness, injury and lack of motivation. Luckily I didn't gain it all back, so I am not starting completely over. I am going about it very slow this time. Instead of trying to pull in the big numbers like The Biggest Loser, my goal is about a lb a week. If I lose…

I eat a lot of chicken. I wished I liked naked tuna, but find the taste and smell disgusting. Since carbies don't make barbies, I try to eat a lower carb, higher protein diet.

I just came back 3 days ago after being away for over a year. I am basically starting over. I didn't gain it all back, but close. I am hoping to find my motivation. I guess I made it back here so it's a start.

I did see a pic of her smiling and looking almost human. I know they make twist and turn and bendable Barbie, do they make smiling Barbie?

I have 2 30 something daughters. The oldest one is happily single, has a great job she loves and travels the world. She does want to buy a townhouse or something in the next couple of years but it will probably be as a single woman. She likes to have the fun and companionship with guys, but from a distance and not get too…

I was 58 years old when I came back to MFP. I was the most out of shape I had ever been in my life. I had a shoulder injury that kept me pretty sedentary for 6 months. My metabolism was so slow. I lost weight on 1200 calories. Now that I am more fit and have a higher metabolism I require more calories. They say weight loss…

Wild Thing during my run this morning.

My toes are ticklish, pedicures are very uncomfortable for me.

Next thing you no you will be saying that their is a difference in there or is it they're.

i was a big coke drinker for 30 years. I drank at least 2 litres a day. Then last February when I started my diet I quit the coke cold turkey. I didn't trust myself to have an occasional drink so I stayed completely away from it. This past January we went to the auto show and ate in the food court. I had a small drink of…

I always wear 2 bras when I run, 1 doesn't cut it.

No weight loss from running. I am a eating machine when I run. You do get nicely shaped legs from it. My weight loss came from eating at a calorie deficit, which I can't do when I am running. I would starve.

If he were really supportive, he would have given you a mini trampoline.

Not from Michigan, but have lived here over 4 years. I am in the Dexter area.

I have a water rower, and I love it. It gives you a great body workout. I can feel my abs working as well as upper and lower body.

I also took up running last year at 58. I really enjoy it. I ride my bike a lot in the summer and I would call those tough hills resistance. My legs are working hard, actually my whole body is working hard. I used to ride my bike up the mountains when I lived in Colorado. That was a workout. I also lift weights, but I do…

I am so over this winter. Between the ice storm, snow storms, high winds and sub zero temps, I am ready for some nice weather.

I love the coffee flavor Chobani bites. They do have 100 calories. I have tried the other flavors, but the coffee one is my favorite. They are small, but the right size for me.

I try to not eat at too much of a deficit to maintain the muscle I have worked hard for. So the weight comes off very slow.…

I am in mid Michigan. My home weather station had an overnight low of -18 with a windchill of -40. It is at -15 now, so it is warming up. The winds are supposed to move out today that will help. Maybe 40 by the weekend, bring it on.

Yes, weights and resistance

When I first started trying to lose the weight mine got a lot smaller also. But as I continued to strength train 3x a week they got bigger. They might even be a little bigger than when I first started. Maybe they look bigger because I am smaller. At any rate they did get bigger with the weights. I do a few extra weights to…

I am just going to keep pushing myself with the weights, running and cycling. Just hoping to lose the last 10lbs…

It took me 9 months to lose 45lbs. From Feb 1st until the end of Oct, going from 165 down to 120. People didn't really start to notice until I had lost about 25lbs. I am older and didn't want the saggy skin of losing too quickly. The first month I only did cardio. I had a shoulder injury and didn't start doing weight…

That was me last year. I couldn't fit into my size 14 dress pants for Christmas. I refused to buy bigger clothes. I had tried mfp earlier that year but didn't hang around for very long, maybe 6 weeks. So I decided to try it again. Since Feb 1st of 2013, I lost 45lbs. I did gain about 5 back over the holiday's and now I…

I'm in. I lost 45lbs with this group from Feb through October. I am back again to lose the 5lbs I regained over the holidays plus another 5.
