Hello from SF Bay Area! Starting Intermediate on January 1....

I have afib too. I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago. I take meds that keep my heart rate slower. I went for years without a problem but now I seem to have one episode a year where I have to go to emergency and they get me back into sinus rhythm. I too lose my breath a bit and just have learned to just keep going. I never…

I like the Chocolate and French Vanilla Vega One flavors the best. I often use them as a quick breakfast when I am headed for the gym. I just use water and a shaker bottle. I have also used the Vega One Bars in Chocolate. Be warned that they have more calories and fat but they can be a treat meal for post workout. The…

Like Deb I weighed 338 when I started 2.5 years ago. I have lost 70 - I lost some before finding MFP. It is slow for me and I find I need to recommit and find support as I go. I am older so it does take longer. I wish I was as wise at 22! That said, I am the healthiest I have been in years. Keep at it and if you step off,…

I don't see a lot of greens in your sample menu. I have been vegan for almost two years and agree with the other posts. You will need to take a supplement for B12 and any other missing nutrients. There are many great sources for info. Try engine2. They have books and a website. It is not hard to get enough protein. The…

SW 291.7 CW 290.1 Down 0.4 this week and I am glad for it. Had some health challenges this week and I tried hard to stay focused.
-
I am so frustrated that this is taking so long and going so slowly even though I know that is the best plan and is more likely to be a permanent change.

CW 290.5 back up after 6 days at Disneyland. Back on track and hope to see a nice drop next week. Good news is that I did lots of walking and hit 10,000 steps most days.
-
This weekend I plan on doing 10,000 steps each day on my Disney trip. Monday I will be back on the bike and doing 75 minutes each day. I plan to do at least 5000 steps each day during the rest of the week.

Today is my birthday. Last year I committed to getting healthy. This year I am recommitting. I feel better and I have learned to ask for what I need. This is a great gift!
-
Today I earned my first 10,000 Fitbit badge. Very excited!
-
I wish for perfect health. I wish to be a fit athlete. I wish for financial security.

My goals for 2013 are to keep doing what worked* in 2012 and up the ante: 1. To lose 52+ lbs 2. To increase bike time to 75 minutes and add in strength training 2-3 times per week 3. to reduce oil and increase greens in my meals. #4: This week I am adding 5000 steps per day. This is an increase as I have been averaging…

SW 291.7 CW 289.7 Down 2 pounds for this first week of the challenge. This was a good week for me. I stayed focused and worked on meeting all of my goals!

This is it. This week I will be 63. I am widowed and a retired school administrator. We were married for 32 years when he passed away in 2008. in 2010, I retired to focus on my health. I have been on and off diets since 1961. I was in the beginning of Weight Watchers (white bread, liver and canned tuna were required). I…

I love reading and gardening. I also enjoy movies and trying out new vegan recipes. I have been gathering much information on healthy eating, exercise and meditation so I guess that too has become a hobby. I am very interested in genealogy and spend time on Ancestry.com. And - I am a Disney freak! I go to Disneyland 2-3…

I am doing 75 minutes per day of exercise, six days per week. This is an increase of 15 minutes per day. This week has been on the exercise bike. next week will be some bike time but mostley walking which my Fitbit will record.
-
Feel free to add me too. Support is a key part of this journey!
-
My goal this week has been to ride my exercise bike six days for at least 75 minutes per day.

I am frustrated with how slowly the weight comes off. I know I am 63 and post-menopausal and it is expected to be slower but I would love to be the exception to the rule. I wish I had been able to do this when I was younger.
