Hello, I'm Lisa. Have been a MFP member for a long time, but never been very consistent about logging and posting. I'm 50, live in Minneapolis, have a 17 yo, and about 50lbs I'm looking to get rid of. Started IF/Keto about two weeks ago and have seen good results so far (don't want to get into a debate about diet/lifestyle…

I think a regular snickers actually has more protein than those things

Hello - end of my 2nd week on Keto and IF - down 6 lbs already and was surprised to fit into into a size smaller pair of jeans that have not fit for a long time! It may be water weight but happy to see the scale move for a change. Have not been missing the starchy carbs or sugar, I'm also not having any alcohol the first…

having a size smaller pair of jeans, that I have not worn for a while, zip up and fit.

Hello - turned 50 last August (not loving that) and working my way back into my best possible self after a long time of not doing much of anything.

I have a lentil taco recipe I have been using for years. 1 cup minced onions 1/2 cup minced celery 1 clove of garlic, minced 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 cup of lentils 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of chili powder ( recipe calls for 1 tablespoon but I found that to be too much even though I like spicy) 2 teaspoons cumin 1 teaspoon oregano…

Hello - newly returned to MFP and working out after a long break. I am aiming for a "run a minimum of 2x/week for 30 min" goal to get back started.

Interested

is it full?

I was thinking of putting my highest weight on my wrist so I could see it and never go back there again.

i'm interested if there is still room - thanks!

wear it to bed even though it does not track sleep so you can still track your steps in the middle of night (bathroom, water, etc). Also it is a reminder to move. I have had my ultra for almost a year now and love it! I feel naked when I forget it.

Been plant based myself since July with a few missteps along the way. Tried vegan for about 45 days, but missed cheese and butter too much (not so much the dairy as I have been drinking almond Milk for a while). Don't miss meat at all and have actual felt ill the few times I have eaten it since July.

what is "NROLFW"?

I'd like in please.

I've been using Punchfork - it brings in recipes from other sites and you can search easily.

MN is July 20th and 21st. I think that would be enough time to train.

Retired 4 pairs of pants for being too big.

I have the Insantiy tapes but have not started using them yet. I have a 1/2 marathon on 10/27 so thought I would start after that as I do not want to be too worn out for my runs.

Hi I'm Lisa. I am from Edina, left the state for about 22 years and ended up, you guessed it, back in Edina.

Another vote for shoes. Go to a running store, get your gait analyzed, and ask for the low cost options. Once you know what you need you can also look on-line for better deals. There are a lot of places to find shoes at a lower price once you know what you should buy.

Congratulations!

Just turned 45 - been lurking here for quite a while. My ex never found me very funny, but my friends do which is why I kept the friends and got rid of my ex. :tongue: I am in the middle of a 90-day fitness challenge (Steelefitnesschallenge.com) and am so far down 13 pounds and about the same inches. Trying to get back…

I'm in for 160. Vote Lisa - www.steelefitnesschallenge.com
