Every two weeks at the gym, every day at home. The weight at the gym is my "official" weight that I record on MFP. I keep a record of what I weigh at home v. what I weigh at the gym - that way, I know what my weight should be at home in order to meet my goal at the weigh-in. Gives me something to strive for, plus helps…

My nutrition counselor has me eating 5x a day--roughly every 3 hours--and 20g of protein at every meal. This is so I don't get hungry and it really works. Things that have a lot of protein: peanut butter, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein bars (she recommended Pure Protein bars, and that's what I eat). Drink a lot of…

OK, it's been one week since I posted my challenge. In re-reading mine, I have to say this about my own goals: 1) I am still not drinking even the minimum 8 glasses of water a day (and my fitness club wants me drinking twice that). On the other hand, I've been out of Starbucks Frappuccinos for days and am experimenting…

Joanne, I am sorry I did not see your response to the challenge until today. I thought no one was doing it. I mistakenly thought replies would appear in my feed. Now I know I need to check here daily. Thank you for joining the challenge. Your goal to see what living in maintenance looks like is so thought-provoking. I…

Lately, it's been this: 1 packet decaf Folger's coffee single, 1-1/2 tbs. (3/4 serving) DaVinci sugar-free syrup, and 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk. You could switch this up all sorts of ways, but this tastes like a latte to me, which I love. It's 10 calories and 53g of sodium. And my sweet nieces gave me a milk frother…

I'm at the beginning of my weight loss journey, but I joined a fitness club and met with a nutrition counselor, and the big changes that I've had to make to diet are to (1) try to eat at least 100g of protein a day, (2) reduce sodium to 1,500mg a day, and (3) try to keep sugar at 35mg a day. It's very hard to get the…

This week, I used them instead of refried beans to make Mexican pizzas (tortilla spread with refried beans, topped with cheese, salsa, etc.). I got the low-sodium ones by Glory and poured the whole can into a bowl and mashed them with a potato masher. I got the low-carb tortillas by La Tortilla Factory, spread them with…

So THAT"s what "going Jersey" means. LOL. (I somehow missed this thread before today...) Looks like you're goin' Jersey pretty hard to me!

Well said, Joanne!

"Hot Fun in the Summertime" - Sly and the Family Stoney. Why, because we are having FUN seeing the pounds drop, and it is HOT because it is summertime. So we are having fun in the hot weather getting healthy.

I was wondering the same thing! What is "bump"?

That is AWESOME!!!! Going to find my measuring tape....

My goal is to stick with it! Log food daily. Use the Fitbit to challenge myself to do more than the day before (I usually start each Monday with a goal of # of steps I want to make that day, then each day try to exceed that.)

I just saw this thread today - first time I've looked in April, I guess. I think it's a terrific idea. I think my goal may just be to work on consistency rather than numbers this month: walk every day and wear my Fitbit to record it, but focus more on making it a daily habit rather than "catching up" to a specified number…

My goal for today, March 13: -Stay within my calorie limit. -Keep up with my food journal. -Exceed yesterday's steps, stairs, etc.

My goals for today: 1. Log in all my food eaten. 2. Drink more water. 3. Stay within my calorie limit.

What a great story and inspiration - thank you for sharing! You look amazing and are to be congratulated for sticking with it. Your friends and family, also, are to be praised for their encouragement and support. Wow, wow, wow!

Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm 56, and retired since 10/1/10 from the federal government. I remember being a part of a group (South Beach Online, I think) before I was 50 and I called myself "50 by 50" there, i.e. trying to lose 50 lbs. by the time I was 50 years old. I wanted to be in shape by the time I retired. I needed to lose more…

I just joined about a week ago. Well, bought a Fitbit and then found this site because the mobile app syncs with Fitbit. I am 56, retired since October 2010, and have been on every diet in the book, I think. Have had success with some--for a while--but then gained the weight back. My goal for March is to track my food and…
