Well, I'm back in the swing of things! Finally! Life kinda got in my way for a bit, but after walking my legs off in NYC for a few days with my niece and nephews, I was ready to hit it full speed! Then... the stomach flu hit ME full speed. LOL! But... feeling much better today and ready to kick this weight thing once and…

Welcome Masi! MFP is a great place to find encouragement, information and occasionally a good kick in the britches. :- ) I'm not sure I would relish a mandatory "5:30am Me Time" but I understand you take what you can get! Good luck! Aunt Zip

It's Friday and boy am I happy about that! Looking forward to tackling some very hilly trails tomorrow and picking up my first Organic CSA. :-) What are you all up to for the first weekend of Summer?

In cardio there is a listing: Running (jogging), up stairs

Make Ratatouille...delish!

Hey there, feel free to join our group "Forty Isn't Fatal". :-)

Fantastic! Welcome! :-)

I have one additonal person for the Ruby Team. mjdailey ( Misha Dailey)

I've started keeping a pitcher of chilled water in the fridge with lemon or lime slices in it. Makes water a little more tasty. The mixes like Crystal Light are full of chemicals. :- (

Great plan! :-)

It really is a little tougher to lose the weight after 40, which is why this site is so helpful. We can help each other stay motivated! Feel free to join our group "Forty Isn't Fatal". :- )

Bonus!! Love it! :-)

Great! :-)

Cool! Let us know how you like it. :- )

You can cook a large pot of black beans and brown rice and portion it for lunches... toss a few veggies in and it's a very filling meal. Had it once already this week. :- )

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred might be a good one to start with .... very inexpensive (like $9 at Target) and it's great.

I haven't tried that one, but I have heard you can modify it a bit.

Some healthy things to stretch your food dollar: Beans Eggs Pasta Brown Rice Frozen Veggies and Fruits (Look for sales and stock up) Visit your local Farmer's Market for fresh veggies and fruits. I also recently found if you eat fish, your local fish market will probably be less expensive than the supermarket. Hope that…

My dept at work is doing a 200 reps of strength training challenge. We have to do any combination of moves (sit-ups, push-ups, lunges, squats, etc) 200 daily for the week. Sound good?

I always pick up Almond Milk, Whole Grain Bread, Eggs, Greek Yogurt, Rice Pasta, Brown Rice, Frozen Fish Filets, etc. I also make regular trips to the Farmer's Market for Zuccini, Squash, Cucumbers, Bell Peppers, Corn, etc.

New week! Wahoo!! :- ) Anyone want to toss out a weekly challenge for the group?

Welcome! So glad you found us! Sounds like you've made quite a change in your life. That's fantastic. :- )

Come join the "Forty Isn't Fatal" group. :- )

It's May! Any specific goals for the month? :happy:

Mornin'! And Happy Friday! :- )
