Wow - you look FANTASTIC! Way to go.

in So glad I kept this skirt :) Comment by lilylight July 2013

Thanks to all who posted -- it's helpful to see the variety of routines out there. I'm 53, in a couple but no children; work full time or more-than-full-time hours with flexibility of hours. I work in the evenings a lot, at home. I've come to the conclusion that I need to NOT be so flexible when it comes to exercise times…

I'm going to go on maintenance for the days immediately around Christmas and Thanksgiving, and keep logging. My biggest challenge will be getting exercise in, as I'll be traveling a lot and staying with family members out of town. Need to check out guest passes for a rec center...

Some good advice there, but eliminating whole categories of food is a recipe for disaster for me! Moderation in all things, I say. And the science on dairy is not as definitive as he claims AT ALL.

Way to go!

in Graduated my C25K today! Comment by lilylight November 2012

Woo hoo! Good for you! What did Week 9 have you do? My program only goes up to Week 8; the last day is 5 minute walk, 30 minute run, 5 minute walk.

Wow, Island_style, definite difference -- you look great! So does everyone else on this thread -- congratulations to all!

Your profile is offensive only in the sense that it annoys me that some people look so good in a bikini! LOL. Looking at the terms someone posted, this might be what the e-mail is talking about: "no underwear, thongs, g-strings, or banana hammocks." I don't even know what a banana hammock is, but your bottoms look like a…

Hi Missy, I had Stage III endometrial cancer 12 years ago. For some reason, I became much more sedentary after my treatments. Well, I guess it's because the radiation made me really sick and weak, and I never quite got back in the swing of things. Joined MFP in June, and I've been getting steadily more active. Don't have a…

Good article, thanks!

Hey there, I started at around 148, too. I'm down to 140.6 and have been stuck for a couple of weeks. I'm 5'4" as well. Your goal seems awfully low.... But then, when I was your age, mine was probably lower - LOL. For now I have my goal set at 135, but when I reach it I will reset to 130, and will re-evaluate from there.…

in Looking for people going from 140lbs- 120/115lbs!! PLEASE!! Comment by lilylight August 2012

I wonder why cutting back on running would help?

in How Did You Get Over a Plateau? Comment by lilylight August 2012

Your stomach looks smaller. I would say the best way to keep track, though, would be start measuring yourself. Congrats, and keep up the good work!

I really like Pilates, which focuses on the core. Check out the Pop Pilates videos at You Tube; esp, there are some titled "beginning" level.

Well said! I have trouble seeing why so many people love the OPs essay so much. Those differences between people that he DOES grant - those differences can be really important. Yes, sure, the same basic laws of physics apply to all, but at the same time it's true that people's body chemistry can vary in really significant…

in You Are Not Different Comment by lilylight August 2012

What's great about MFP is how you can log your exercise, and then you hcan clearly see that is you exercise more, you can eat more, and still lose. So, if your calorie goal seems like too little, exercise more!

in Thinking about giving up Comment by lilylight August 2012

Thanks, all of your, for your ideas and encouragement! Printererror and the others: good idea on measuring myself. I've been resistant to this; I've just never taken measurements -- it seemed kind of obsessive -- but your're absolutely right, since I'm getting into exercise, it would be a good way to see the impact of that…

in I'm Not Losing and It's REALLY Discouraging! Comment by lilylight August 2012

I can relate!! I have less to lose, and I'm feeling discouraged too. Hang in there!

in <----- negative Nancy right here! Comment by lilylight August 2012

I agree with everyone here - don't give up, you can do this! Start with just walking, if necessary. Then graduate to Day 1, and keep repeating it until you can make it through. then move on. I just did Week 4, Day 1 today, and it's the first time that it's actually gotten easier. I think it's partly because I stopped…

How are you doing, Sopsongbird? I know what you mean; I have a heel issue. Hope you're doing better!

in Sopsongbird's Week 1 Thoughts Comment by lilylight August 2012

Pilates. Try a class, or check out POP Pilaes on YouTube, ESP the ones labeled for beginners.
