Hello! Just joined and I am so looking forward to becoming POST menopausal!!

I did not get vomited on today!! I teach preschool special ed. This is a big day!!

Why the heck is there a banner ad at the top of this page for Oreos?!?! Seriously?!?!

Carb Master from Kroger is yummy and has 4 carbs per container. They have lots of flavors. I love the cinnamon roll and the vanilla!

I hope you all have a blessed Lent! I have decided to lay off the diet sodas and increase water. I knew I could not go all out so I am limiting diet soda to once a day. On Fridays, I am drinking nothing but water. I also am trying to make sure I pray the rosary at least once a day (sadly, I am not doing too well with…

I'm back too. Been away for about a year. Got my ashes this evening. I hope everyone has a spirit filled Lenten season!

When you start logging your food (every single bite!) it really makes you take a good look at what you eat. That alone should motivate you to make changes. It doesn't really matter if you go low calorie, low carb, low fat...just make healthy changes. After 21 days, those things that seem so hard will become habit. But take…

Hello. I'm 54. I lost 84 pounds but have recently put about 25 back on. So I'm looking to lose about 30. If I log my food everyday, I do well but if I think I can do it without logging, I become lax and eat stuff I would not usually eat. So, I'm back. You can add me.

Hi, I started again in February 2012. I lost 84 pounds over a year and a half. I kept it off for a while but I've put about 25 of it back on. When I leave myfitnesspal, it goes south. I need to log my food EVERYDAY!! I have to be more aware of what I put in my mouth all day!

Today, mine is my PRE student preparing for First Reconciliation. He is a special needs 5th grader. We talked about Grace today. He always makes me smile!

Take it one day at a time!! Log your food everyday! Ask for help!

I work with 3-4 year olds. Some of them are medically fragile. All of them seem to ooze from every oriface of their little bodies at times! I get mine to protect me and them!

I'm in! I've been low carbing for 2 1/2 years. It will be fun having friends along. I feel like I'm the only person in the world doing low carb...at least in my little world.

Running! I love it! I'm not very fast but I love my alone time! My mind gets to go on vacation!

Welp, I did it! The app wanted me to run 3 miles in 30 minutes. So I ran for 30 minutes then did the math and I ran 3.0028 miles!!! That's a 10 minute mile!!! I am 52 years old and literally started from the couch! I can't believe I did it!!! Congratulations to all the grads!!!

But you came back! You're doing it!!!????

AWESOME!!! What is a 5K? Is it 3.5 miles?

I did W8D2 this morning. On zen labs, that is the next to last day. It wanted me to run 2.75 miles in 28 minutes. I ran 2.71 in 28 minutes. So stinking close! But I will continue to run 3 days a week till it gets too cold to run. And in tennessee, that will be awhile!!!!

Completed W7D3 this morning. The weather was AWESOME!!! I can not ever remember a July like this one in SW Tennessee!!! Love it!! The app I use is Zenlabs. It only goes through 8 weeks so next week at this time, it says I will "graduate"!!! Woohoo!!!! Can't decide to continue running the C25K to improve my speed (I'm…

I've not run in the rain. I am afraid I'll slip and fall and I HATE walking around in wet shoes! But there have been a few times I had to postpone a run because of rain which really makes me mad!! Maybe next time, I'll just do it. I did W6D1 Monday. It seemed a little rougher than the 20 minute run last week. Doing D2 this…

Whatcha got? I'm game!

Did W5D3. I was a little worried about running for 20 minutes straight but I did it!! I ran barely over 1.75 miles which works out to 5.27 MPH. I felt like I was going so slow! My Air Force son briefed me on proper posture and foot strike before I started the program and I think that is much better! Even though I envision…

I've just started this menopause ordeal. I was actually excited about it as I had massive blood loss to the point of anemia every month. My doctor will not do much until I am menstrual free for one full year. Guess what started yesterday! ????. The good news is that they are coming about every 2-3 months and only lasting…

Oh, another factor that may or may not be related...I've started going through menopause. Don't know that it would make a difference.
