LOVE TIP 8!

Hey Sandy! I will remember the energy bars! I am making the changes, slowly but surely! Less than six weeks to Chicago! Peggy

Good Morning Julie... First, I think your quit is of the utmost priority~ It is hard, no question. For me, I am at a computer all day, it is easier. I also have an IPAD at home and a smart phone. I am a "wired" person in more ways than one! But I think the support and accountability a site like this can provide will yield…

Glad you found us Terri! This is was first weigh in Friday/Saturday! Hi Sandy! Hi Bob!

A+! You are such a wonderful example. I am trying to do less carbs and sugars. That damn 80's/90's low fat -- it was all bad. I have had way too many carbs in life! I keep making simple changes, one day at a time! Peggy

I think Saturday is great! We will just post it on here...Whoever is first, please post the tread! Hope everyone is having a great day. Peg

Fridays it is! We will begin next Friday. You made me laugh -- how can one use "modestly" as a description to obsessive compulsive? :-) Have a fantastic Friday all! Peggy

Do you work for NIKE? LOL ... Good Advice Bob! -- :-)

The only yogurt I like -- McDonald's Parfait! I have tried many variations -- I tolerate it. I will do it. I drink over a gallon of water each day at work -- new for me since I gave up diet coke. It is frustrating not seeing results. Prednisone is known for causing weight gain. I just get irritated and need to vent. So…

LOL! if that was done, how would I be entertained!

Hi Sandy! Good to see you. I read your tips and goal also. Good stuff. You are in the middle of your goal -- are you still motivated? Is it becoming a lifestyle for you? I would love for this to all be "natural" for me someday. :-)

Too Funny! I got caught in one of those machines. It just doesn't seem natural! New exercise regime: Chainsawing! Keep your left foot in, keep your right foot in ... then shake it all about! :-)

Bob, I love your insight. It is simple and good. PACE. We should make that an ancronym. By the way, the trees lost a lot of weight! Tomorrow I will have to cut them up into smaller pieces. I posted pictures on my FaceBook. I am Peggy Rice, Portage, MI ... the picture is of a flower, the background is a tree, mostly green…

IT makes a lot of sense! Read through some of Bobs (bytrout) comments. He made a lot of sense to me. He spoke of the "goal", and then there were other benefits. But he kept his eye on the goal. About six months ago, there was the usual sale on Lean Cusines and Smart Ones at the Grocery store. I had no problem locating the…

Bob, Those are great tips/motivation. And, I admire both your knowledge and determination. I have opted not to use excuses. It goes well with committment to others -- I need to work on the committment to self. Core/bore, you are correct! I have an exercise ball I am using. I wish yard work was considered a core exercise, I…

Hi Bob... Today is the first day I had trouble with mytracks. I walked at the rate of 85 mph. I think it is an apps issue or gps issue. I never had a problem before. I walked over seven miles today and I was with the dogs for three of those miles. I like they get tired before I do sometims! Walk your dogs even if you don't…

First of all, i am impressed you (Bob) ran marathons. Oprah Winfrey -- ran the Boston Marathon when she was 40 -- I was soooo jealous! (still am). Aside from the jealousy, there is an admiration for those with such discipline. Anyway, i use MyTracks for my walks -- I take a break in the am/pm -- I can get in about three…

I think you will like MyTracks. It is a free app. I am not sure where you live, but it shows elevation, in the options -- there is an aggregate. I think I will set my walking goals to 150 miles for the month of August. I like walking -- I walk about 4.2 mph -- on average. The tool keeps me on "track", pun intended! Love…

You two are beautiful!

Let us know how you like the fitbit!

Hello All! Android has an app. IPAD has an app. The new journey...let it begin with "me". Peggy

Hi Wendy -- We are the first two. I sent invites to a few others tonight... (about 30 minutes ago). I love these tools on this site. Check out the recipe (under food)-- you can put the ingredients and it calculates all we need to know...no more excuses! :-) Peggy

Hi! I have RA. I have had it for ten years...with all the ups and downs prednisone can offer! I just came out of a flare up -- need to get the weigh off -- literally off the joints! I look forward to getting on the healthier side again! Peggy:smile:
