Hi everyone. I used this in the past to track my weight and get healthy. I had reached my goals, but had a set back do to health that stopped most of my activity. As of July this 22 and my last surgery I have been able to be more active. In December I averaged 15K steps a day for the first time in 3 years. My goal is to…

Feel free to add me, we each need to find or own path and what works for us. Never critical of what is in the diaries of my friends.

I found that i had to be very careful measuring whenever I was in a period of no loss. This video really helped drive that fact home for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVjWPclrWVY

It is best to have expectations that are realistic and achievable. If they are too high you may end up feeling miserable and giving up when you do not achieve them.

Great job, you are an inspiration!

walking. I turn 50 next month. When I started in early 2012 I walked with a cane, used a handicap parking sticker and did not have a lot of energy. I started walking and am still walking today. I have thrown in some strength training as well but walking each day and watching what I eat has helped me lose 70 pounds, get…

Great results for your hard work! You look wonderful

Here is the article from yesterday when the Iowa Supreme Court refused to reverse it's earlier decision to uphold that it was OK for him to fire her because he thought she was too attractive. http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/12/us/iowa-irresistible-worker/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

I thought it was crazy and now that it keeps getting upheld in higher courts I think it is even crazier. I was sure it would be overturned. And no SHE was not being overtly sexual. She worked for him for some time and he said that he found her too attractive and that his attraction could cause a problem with his marriage.…

You are looking great, fantastic work!

Welcome to MFP and if your mom wants to she can become more active and walk more. I went from hardly walking at all and parking in handicap spaces in order to be as close as I could to becoming more fit and doing things I never thought I would do. 15 months ago I started slowly, 12 months ago I was able to quit using my…

Welcome to MFP, that is a fantastic start!

The sirloin and shrimp is one of my favorites.

Fantastic success!

Pure awesomeness! You don't know me either but I am cheering for you too!

Treadmill is very important to me when I can't get outside to get in long walks, which is well over half of the year. I really like using a treadmill and watching TV because it helps pass the time. I still enjoy walking outside, but need my treadmill too

I try to get in at least 7 miles per day for an average but try for 10 per day. Sometimes with work and other things it is hard to always get 10 in. The last few weeks I have been able to average 11 a day. I usually have at least one walk that is between 4 and 6 miles per day. I usually take 2 to 3 walks a day. I don't…

There are some TDEE calculators where you put in your total activities for the day so you can get a more accurate estimate. Based on what you posted I would put you no higher than lightly active. Here is one calculator where you put in the number of minutes on an average day for several activities to get your TDEE.…
