Congratulations!!!! :) You found part of the secret. Just move. Playing in the pool and walking count. Keep up the great job.

I wear a polar heart rate monitor. I still only eat part of exercise calories back. I don't think there is an 100% accurate tool.

Brooks for everything. I need the stability for pronation.

6.5 miles, 2.2 to Bree. I have moved indoors to the gym because of the heat.

I do a class where there are various exercises, alternating variations of jumping jacks, mountain climbers, bosu burpees, jumping jacks. We do 8 rounds of 30 seconds with 10 sec walking in between. The instructior mixes it up every week.

11.1 miles to Old Man Willow.

Found this message string and downloaded the app. I love LOTH. Just past Farmer's Maggot's field headed to Buckleberry Ferry. This will be great incentive to get my walk in every day.

I'm in.

I will be going through my MIL Friday afternoon for donations. So two benefits - more standing and donations to a good cause.

I exercised before I lost weight. I lost the first 20 lbs with just watching my diet. However, the last 30 lbs and the biggest body difference was after I started weight training. I like having muscles. I want to be strong and fit as I get older. Plus the exercise lets me blow off some of the stress from work.

I am down to 4/6 from a 16. The professional clothes were donated to Suited for Success. I gave a friend a number of cute clothes. We have a similar taste. I am where I want to be and want things to fit now. I did the belt and safety pin for my pants and skirts on the downward journey. I felt frumpy. So I am just keeping…

I have been on thyroid medication for years since my 20's. I have lost 50 lbs. It might be a little slower but it can be done. Drink plenty of water. Be honest on logging. Exercise both cardio and weights. Weight training helps you build muscle which burns more calories when you work out. Soy interferes with the…

I went down from 8 1/2 wide to 7 1/2 to 8 wide depending on the shoe. If I had bunion surgery, I might go to a normal width but I don't want any work on my feet.

I am one of those people that lost half a shoe size. That has been the hardest replacement since I have foot problems and have difficulty finding shoes. I found in the smaller sizes I have to try on. The size will vary from brand to brand. One brand may be 4/6 another be 8. Sometimes a small another time a medium. Also I…

When I started my journey of losing weight I was hypothyroid and had been taking medication since my early 20's. I have lost 47 pounds. - 7 more than I planned. Along the way, I became hyperthyroid because my medication was too high after loosing weight. I am down to 12.5 mcg per day. It might have taken longer to lose but…

My mother was found by my niece in a diabetic coma. 14 days in ICU before she died. I got to deal with the Probate, Will, Family drama, plus take care of my sister who was recovering from a double mastectomy for breast cancer the second time. Also got to deal with moving her because of her company closing the lab she…

Also when your clothes are loose. I kept pulling up my pants. I was using safety pins to take them in if they did not have belt loops.

Heart Rate Monitor. log book, towel, lock, ipod plus gym clothes. I go after work and clean up at home.

I am also having an issue about maintaining my weight. I have lost another 6 pounds. I have upped my calories, however, I have been hypothyroid since my early twenties. In loosing the weight, I am now hyperthyroid. MY heart rate is elevated and other symptoms which I believe is the additional weight lost. So I am working…

I started at 178. Got on MFP at 174. Set a goal of 154 and kept going. I am at 131 today. I float +/- 2 pounds.

I see the bar code scanner, on the meal and at the top. In the technical section, there is a board on frequently asked questions. I read it to figure out how to use it.

I have gotten rid of mine by season by either giving to a friend or donating. Its time to go through the winter stuff. Suited for Success is a great place to donate your work appropriate close. I feel the pain on the Victoria Secret bras. I also had some great bras. I went from a 40C, down to 38Ds and finally 36Bs on this…

Will try when I get home. Thanks for the hard work.

You definitely are amazing. I am hoping you beat your time for the Philly marathon.

Definitely trying these.

I have altered some things along the way. My 12's pants are an 8, while large tops are mediums or smalls. My belts I took to a shoe repair place and had him cut 3 inches off from the buckle end and punch a hole. I have given some clothes and shoes to friends. Work clothes have gone to Suited for Success. I donated to…

I only buy mostly sale. So I keep an eye on the basics that I need and when they go on sale, II see what is available. I have picked up some good deals for work. I am altering some things that I have bought last spring.. I am down from a size 16 regular to an 8 petite in pants. Also I found that I could get some of my…

I went from a 40DD to 36B with a 40 pound weight lose. Back to what I was in college. It has been an expensive journey.

I bought a HRM but now I want one that works with my smartphone. I have had to replace clothes, underwear and shoes. I took a couple belts to a shoe repair shop and he is going to cut 3 inches off the buckle side and punch a hole for the prong. By the time I am done, I will have replaced all of my clothes because I have…

Enjoy the meal.. Happy Birthday :flowerforyou: Celebrate your birthday and that you are making healthy choices. My birthday is tomorrow. I plan to get a walk in at lunch and then enjoy eating wherever my husband is going to take me. I'll hit the gym Sat morning.
