I don't eat breakfast during the work week. I often drink some juice because I'm thirsty, and that will hold me until lunch at 12:30. I've found that I'm always hungry for more food when I eat breakfast, so my calorie intake increases on those days.

I am trying to return to fitness pal, and this was one of the boards I followed. I tend to sabotage myself after I see a little bit of weight/size loss. I find your posts inspirational.

I'd like to come back to this board for new inspiration, as I've been neglectful of my health.

Thanks, I needed the reminder that good choices lead to good results over the long haul.

I'm bumping to find later.

Bump for inspiration.

I need a goal to aim for and 12 weeks sounds reasonable.

Bump to find later.

Great thread! I've just gotten restarted and you are all great inspirations to keep trying!

Returning after a long break....slow jog this afternoon for 20 minutes...must buy vegetables!!!

I got caught on calories with the exact same pot pie. The second one stayed in the freezer for a long time until my husband(who is, of course, nice and trim) ate it one night for supper!

There's nothing like some gardening to make me get outside and water/weed those plants! I've been adding some new plants to the flower bed(some in containers nearby). Have you ever heard of Persian Shield? My son gave me some for a late Mother's Day and I put them in some dark green pots to show off the purple. I'm still…

Thanks, Auntie!

Hey, ladies! I've been back about a month, but I wasn't sure if this thread still existed. I'm glad I found you again! I just haven't figured out how to stay connected when I'm teaching school, so I'm back to re-losing the same pounds all over again! Since two of my three sons are getting married this summer, I have…

HI, Peg! Come on in and join us. We're planning a family trip to Cumberland Island off of GA. I've been wanting to go forever! We have to pack everything in (including water) and bring all the trash back out. Any ideas out there for backpack lunches and snacks that don't weigh much?

You are amazing! Just look at what you've accomplished!

I really have a hard time keeping my calories in line over the weekends. We usually eat out more. I admit it...I'm lazier on Saturdays and Sundays!

I've been working around the house putting odds and ends into the mission store box. It's amazing how much of a packrat I am! It hasn't been my best day calorie wise, but I've had worse. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.:ohwell:

Well, my jogging's out of the way for today. I keep adding a few minutes more each time! I found a new nutrition calculator website when I was logging in my Subway sandwich last night. eddieoneverything.com I was able to "start from scratch" with my bread and build the sandwich just as I ate it. Then I clicked on the "more…

:smile: lilchino, you can double the meat....just click on the filling twice instead of once.

Yay, everybody! We're all staying busy and still remembering to focus on what goes into our mouths! I've already jogged today. I'm trying to get that out of the way before 10:00 a.m. I don't know what I'll do in a couple of weeks when school starts back.:frown: We've been eating fresh tomatoes, blueberries and peaches here…

This has to be the busiest group ever! I jogged early today and went to town to run errands. All four of my men are out of the house today, so I can watch my calories more carefully until suppertime at least!:ohwell: Chiclet, hold the baby so you won't break your son's heart. If you don't want to hold Robert in your arms…

Thanks for these! I've really been struggling with motivation.

Other than sodium, I have kept close to my calories today, AND burned over 300 calories! Yippee!

For variation, have you tried the southwest mustard? It gives that plain old sandwich some zing!

Fresh blueberries!

Well, I've added jogging to my exercise program. It seemed to help last year. We planted two new bushes this week...ruby red loropetalum(chinese fringe). Does anyone out there know anything about these? They have a burgundy/green leaf. I have high hopes for great color! Eli William-newborn babies are so cool. I love the…

Congrats! You are doing great!

Welcome, Fancy! I went to Jekyll Island yesterday and walked for an hour. The temp was extremely HOT, but I walked in the edge of the surf and felt wonderful.:happy:

Thanks for bumping, Dee. A year will go by regardless....an inspirational post-it if I ever saw one!
