Hi Everyone! Nice to be back after the Holidays. Trying to get back into the swing of things. First goal, getting rid of the Diet Coke and replacing it with water! Will try to lift wts tonight. Alf...what can you tell me about the new lifting thread? :flowerforyou:

So thank goodness for daylight savings so that I natrurally woke up an hour earlier today and used it to excercise! Good to see everyones posts. Keep at it everyone! :flowerforyou:

Hey everyone: Wanted to just touch base and let you know I haven't disappeared...entirely. :happy: I have been having a hard time getting back to the discipline of eating carefully and logging and excercising since I took so much time away to take care of my Mom. Things have slowed down now, and I think I just felt that…

Hi everyone! Good to read all the latest posts. Have been reading everything eventhough don't have time to post myself, it really keeps me going...THANKS.

Victorious: Good to see you..... welcome back! Everyone else hello too! A bit bummed today. Hadn't lost any on weigh in :grumble: so I just have to refer back to one of my earlier posts about maintaining. Was able to keep my eating under control today even after the major bummer.....at least under control for me.....this…

Well everyone I've stuck with my plan. Run Monday....DONE. Bike Tuesday...DONE. Strength training Wens......Done and Ran again today. Went to Week 4 of C25K with a 3 min, 5 min, 3 min, 5 min run with rest walks inbetween. Felt really good....I even had the briefest of thoughts that I might actually like running.:tongue:…

Alf: Kinda right about the thread it's a bit quiet. I do hope the weather is nice when we are there I really don't do heat well. Anything over 80 and I'm a limp noodle! :laugh: I biked yesterday. For real biking ups, downs, and arounds no stationary bike for me! I was a bit sore last night...quads and knees a bit sore but…

Hi everyone! Much better day for me today. I ran last night and exceeded my expectations! :drinker: I ran for a total of 13.5 minutes instead of the 9 min I was supposed to. The last 3 minutes I just decided to run until I felt like stopping, kinda like going to point of exhaustion on weights to build strength?…

Tex: Your comment about the sister who is a gym rat with the daughter that is a size 16 womens reminded me of a story I heard once from another veterinarian. There was this beautiful chocolate lab who was grossly obese....the owner, a noted human cardiologist and fitness freak would not do anything about his pet's wt. When…

Hey Everyone! I'm having kind of a rough start today. Allergies acting up and giving me a headache. When my head hurts I don't care much about anything including how many calories or what type of food I'm eating. So far am doing well but just needed to touch base with you guys for some extra support. Business is down…

Good Morning all! Having a great morning. Did 20 minutes of cycling.....my knees are very happy! Then followed up with 90 minutes of strength training. Now enjoying a nutritious brunch. Hope everyone has a great weekend. :flowerforyou:

Hey Everybody glad to be back with you after a bit. I missed you all! :love: I haven't been around because I have been taking care of my Mom whose health is not very good right now. I've just been running from work to pick up kids to, lessons, homework, and dinner and then back over to my Mom's in the early evening and…

Nicely done.......stay motivated! Hope I can see as noticable difference when I hit my 55lbs down mark. Thanks for motivating me! :flowerforyou:

I just ate a fish filet sandwich and fries 2 days ago at McD and was pleased to note the relatively low calorie (compared to most McD stuff) that they were. You r fine! Did you notice though that it just doesn't taste as good anymore since you're eating more healthy? I love McD's but it is easier and easier to not go there…

Hi and welcome to MFP. Good for you for noticing the changes in how you feel when eating those foods. OK....where to start......I have a soy intolerance. I get very gassy, bloated and distended after eating it. Some preperations fo soy are worse. For instance, soy based food protein supplement is the worst, as is…

Hi everyone! I started C25K the first of June and got through 2 weeks, then went on vacation for a week and then slacked off for 2 more weeks. So I started Week one again this week and it is going well. My husband is doing it with me over again as well to be supportive. I never was a runner and I don't have the greatest…

OK so let me start by saying that I have never run in my life. Never! Never wanted to, never liked it when I did etc....etc......then into my 30's not the greatest knees either. Last Sept. I bought a used excercise bike and started pedaling. I usually did around 10-14 miles a day on it. After 10 months and losing around…

That is absolutely WONDERFUL! Good for you. I started C25K and am just in the 2nd week. Thanks for the inspiration! :flowerforyou:

Hey everyone! Had a pretty good week. Eating more carbs but it seems to be agreeing with me. Overall still keeping them fairly clean. Have done 2 of 3 intervals of Week 2 of C25K and have done well. No knee pain! Yea!!!!! :happy: So I think that all the biking I've done for the last year and the ease in of the C25K is…
