Hi. I am 53 and have beennkn and off of mfp for 3 years. I exercise 3 to 5 days a week. Just started leslie sansons walking program and have found i love it. I also throw in a jillian micheals dvd once a week. I have about 12 pounds to go and want to tone up more than anything. I also gave away my big clothes and totally…

I use leslie sansone walking dvds and jillian michaels beginner dvd and i am noticing some tightening in arms, waist and legs. Hope this helps.

Well, I am a manager with the department of corrections in pennsylvania. Heaven knows working with this population is tiring and i am drained at the end of the day.

Sorry I have been M.I.A but had the flu. I actually had cake today but I balanced it with a very healthy dinner. I was under in my calories so I feel okay with my choices. I don't deprive myself cause if I do it will result in a serious day of a sweet attack. Sounds like we are all still making some good choices. Glad to…

I wish it was the sweets for me. I go over board with meat, pasta, potatoes, etc. I eat healthy most days but some days it gets rough. I need someone to remind me of the benefits of taking my lunch to work and to eat healthy on weekends.

Everyone sounds so active.......i am doing the leslie sansome 4 mile boost walk and jillian michaels 30 day shred. I have to admit i like the boost walking better......lol. For now i prefer to do at home exercise since i am 13 pounds heavier than this time last year. Once i get back down by about another 5 pounds i will go…

My goal is to do jillian michaels 30 day shred, lose some inches and be able to fit my size 10 clothes comfortably again. I enjoy doing at home dvds for now. Once my body gets stronger thenni want to go back to the spinning class at the Y that i was too out of shape to finish.

I love suportive people and dont like diet know it alls. Add me and we can all start this healthy lifestyle positively.

I prefer dvds in my own home cuz my body is weak from being lazy since last May. I have the wii fit, wii fit plus, leslie sansome walking, wii walk it out and just started jillian michaels 30 day shred. I am not ready to let others see me struggle right now in a class so i push myself a little more at home. I do make…

I started phase 1 yesterday. I am a little sore but not as bad as i thought it would be. I exercise after work cuz i know im not waking up early to do it. Feel free to add me.

Sounds like you win.......a healthy lifestyle that is. Way to go and congrats.

You can add me if you like. I am also one of those non perfect people who makes mistakes and may slip and eat something i shouldnt or may not get to the gym as often as i should. I get tired of the perfect ones on here tearing people down. So add me if you need encouragement and not a daily beat down.

Feel free to add me. Just started back not long ago and i am looking for positive friends.

Good luck with starting over and realizing what you need to do. Take the suggestions that offer help, research and find out what works for you. Too many people on here start criticizing as soon as they read something and don't offer "help", that is why I seldom post on here. Good luck with your goals and hopefully you will…

I have the flex and I think as long as you put in the correct information it is accurate. I did research on it and three other activity monitors before I bought it and the flex came out on top due to being the most accurate (I know they compared the flex, the Nike one, the Jawbone up and one more).

I lost weight at W.W. but it took a long time (7-months to lose 17 lbs). I did like the meetings, but I am like many others, I like MFP better because calorie counting for me works better than points. Plus, I felt they were always pushing there products on us and every two years they change the program just enough so you…

I bought a NutriBullet and do 50% vegetables (like spinich), 50% fruits and then add 2-tablespoons of ground flax seed, add water, it makes a great smoothie. I do one for breakfast and 5-oz's after work. I get my vegetables and fruits for the day, the flax seed helps me feel full and I get a load of energy to start the…

Oh, and I do not do weights at all, just walking.

Actually I walk 5 to 7 miles a day, started in April and I have toned my arms, leggs, waist and have lost five pounds (And I am not doing it for weight loss).

Me too.

I go through it too. I am 5' 6" and am at 155, trying to get to 147. I have just started feeling a little better since i walk over 5 milez a day and my body is startihg to tighten up more (I actually have defination in my bye-bye arms). My stomach is still loose but i have noticed more inches gone. I now praise myself…

Add me if you like. I have been on this yo-yo diet thing since my daughter was born and that was over 31 years ago. I am finally getting it right this time and learning more as I go. I will share what I have. Stay strong. Oh, and I have had to go through the negative family thing too.

I would say you are eating too few calories. I walk 10,000 or more steps a day (thank u fitbit), which means i am supposed to eat about 1700 calories a day. I am 5' 6" and weigh 155, but I started at 177 lbs. When i eat my numbers I lose about 1.2 lbs a week, when I dont I either gain or start a plateau period. I did not…

I agree.

I ate vietnamese not long ago and just typed in the food and they actually came up. Just make sure you know about how much you ate of each thing.

Lol, I hope not.

I hope you are right, I dont want to use a lot of calories. I am only doing one juice a day, not fasting.

Congrats to you. I am 18 years clean and did my first 5k last April and another this june. Be proud of yourself and keep going, you are amazing.

Can over 50,s say hi......lol. 52 but feeling 32. Feel free to add me.
