Hello and welcome!

I agree! Add me if you like. :-)

Welcome! Add me if you like.

I do these too!

feel free to add me. Welcome!

Welcome Mike. Glad to have you here.

Tell us a little about yourself!

If you have a smart phone, the app lets you scan barcodes as a way of entering food. It's pretty handy!

Portion control: measure and/or weigh your food. For me, eating sustainably mean picking whole food that keep me full longer while allowing for some treats. I have been wanting mac and cheese lately, so today I had a Lean Cuisine Mac and Cheese with a big salad. I will have instant hot cocoa for a chocolate treat…

Welcome! The best tip I have is to track ALL of your food, even on days where you fall off the wagon. Glad to have you here. :)

I'm starting in the spring after my knee replacement. Can't wait!!!

You can add me! All time high was 265. I've been at 245 for the last decade or so. I'm now at 217. My next mini goal is 209, then 199.

This is an interesting topic. Mine feels like small hard pellets about the size of green peas.

That's great! Congratulations!

Oh my goodness, yes! I just started measuring my milk and I've been drinking 2.5 times what I thought I was!

I am starting the plan in The New Rules of Lifting for Women book this month. There is a forum for it on MFP, too.

I had a manicure today to support my progress.

Yep. Just track it. I want something warm tonight so I'm having steel cut oats with a little nut butter and honey.

I make a batch of steel cuts oats on the weekend so I can just heat a half cup in the microwave and toss in add ins like nuts, fresh fruit or nut butter. It's great in the winter.

I rotate between toast & eggs and oatmeal. I plan to add cottage cheese and protein shakes to the mix soon. And maybe some sausage a couple days a week.

I enjoy a tablespoon of almond butter with celery or half an apple as a snack. It's filling for in between meals.

That last sentence was featured on a little plaque that was was given me during a stressful job change and it proved to be true.

It really is, Adam. I'm enjoying theses as much as seeing the scale go down. Michelle

I'm getting ready to do my 1 mile this morning! Nice to see this thread.

I just finished a youtube indoor walking video by Leslie Sansone. It's good for beginners, but she WILL get your heart rate up! Just put her name into the youtube search engine.

Snow on the mountains up around Tahoe. We don't have any down here in the valley yet. Reno is at the bottom of a big bowl ringed by mountains.

Thanks for the reply, Marie. We live in Reno, NV, although I am originally from Nashville, TN and John is from Ottumwa, IA. We both work at the local community college. No kids (by choice) but we do have a 19-year old dog. Merry Christmas! You folks will help keep me on the beam, too.

I do but not very often. Maybe once a month.

Hi Marie! I'm 47. Not quite golden yet, but would like to join in. My husband and I will have been married 21 years come February. I have finally bounced back from knee-replacement surgery and am ready to get moving and eating better again. Michelle
