Geez....am I the only one in this challenge? I guess that a good thing, I like winning :bigsmile: Got 297 exercise calories in by walking .25 mile in my neighborhood and using the stationary bike. Stats as follows: Day 1 = 257 Day 2 = 145 Day 3 = 0 Day 4 = 297 Total = 699 Til tomorrow!

Great job everybody, amazing what we can fit in for exercise if we really think about it! I took the day off, went to a retirement seminar instead. Found out the earliest I can retire will be in 8 years, sounds so far away but really will creep up on me before I know it. Glad I took the day off, found out I am definitely…

Hi Faw10001, Bill gave us a challenge to burn 4000 calories withing 14 days. We're on day 2. Went to PF and tried the treadmill. Only could get it up to 2.4 for 10 min. before my ankle started bothering me. Gosh, I remember after my 5 min. warmup I got it up to 4.0!! Will I ever see those days again? Day 2 - burned 145…

Wow Bill, I'm sorry to hear about your hand, how did it happen? You know you won't get any handicap points with our exercise challenge my friend :0) Exciting news on my end, I was able to walk .25 mile in my neighborhood without PAIN at a fairly decent pace!!!! I haven't been able to do that since last August! It really…

Hey Margaret, when do you start moving in your new home? It must be exciting and I'm glad you got your consult appt finally, July is a long time away but it will be here before you know it! How's the house coming Bill? We own a nice ranch with a big yard, but hate the location and my husband and I are always talking about…

I see you've been a member since Dec. 2010, I've been a member of MFP since November. 2010. I didn't start to add friends until last December and found so much more support and incentive. I would have gained a lot by now if it wasn't for them holding me up when I fell down!! I have plateaued, but know I will start losing…

Wow - losing 87 pounds is awsome! and it show's you can change if you want to. I lost 52 pounds, but gained half of it back. I remember when I made my goal, promising I'll never go back and here I am at the half way point :( Good luck in your journey, keep a positive attitude, and use this site to it's fullest. You will…

Soooo it's a rainy, hot Monday here today. Sounds like a good day to see The Hunger Games, I really want to see The Avengers but the Hunger Games won't be in theaters much longer. DVD coming out in August. The holiday weekend was absolutely gorgeous here since Friday! I took the day off yesterday (I've been gardening on…

Hey Margaret, smart to print out your food journal. Hopefully they won't drag their feet and you'll get this taken care of. Bill, do you have a HRM watch? Wonder how many calories you'll burn? Ummmm....Katie, we know bill is exercising with his move, Margaret got on the elliptical and got moving - sweet! and I have been…

Today I did well on keeping my food diary in check, finally! I've been awful since last Friday and wasn't focused. The exercise regiment will have to wait, I have to take my mom to a pulminary specialist tomorrow so I leave tonight. I'll get a workout in hopefully on Thursday, but I have my LAST ( Yippee!!! ) PT session…

Yes! this is exactly what happened to me this weekend. I went totally off my usual "good" habits. Instead of letting it get the best of me, I just thought"let's try again", life happens and sometime we are in situations that have too tempting yummy foods we normally wouldn't have. Nothing like the first cook out and having…

Wife n mama, so happy you made that appt!!! Sorry I've been away, a lot going on and no time for MFP. Did horrible on logging in yesterday, went to visit a friend 2.5 hours away and spent most of the day with her. Didn't get home till after midnight!!!! It was a very long, long, day. Up and at em' this morning. Plan on…

Wife N Mama, please call your GP on Friday and get an appt. for a referral, your health is the most impotant thing. I hope you can get in, you never know what can happen! I went to Physical Therapy today, only two more sessions left, then a doctor's appt. the following week. Hopefully he'll say I do not need to keep going,…

Okay people, what's your game plan for Thursday? After work I have physical therapy. Only 3 more sessions and I plan on taking a break from it. Podiatrist appt. at end of month and will determine if we still need to keep going. I'm soooo excited!!! Yesterday (for ONLY 5 min I tried the crosstrainer at PF. The elliptical…

Got a lot going on, my front yard looks like an overgrown mini-forest. I absolutely hate gardening, my hands are arthritic and I pay for it the next day, allergies are in full bloom, and basically I have no time to exercise because of the weeding needing need to be done! Plus, it takes up 45 to an hour to just get a SMALL…

Hi Anna, Definitly keep up with your food journal and exercise journal. Add friends, they are very support and will be there for you no matter what. Feel free to add me if you want. Look into joining a group, you'll start makig more friends and look forward to seeing everyone progress :) Log in daily, even if it's a crappy…

Hi...... Beautiful weekend here in NY, unfortunately it's my travel weekend and I won't be able to work out in my yard. I could burn tons and tons of calories but it will have to wait until next week. I do plan on getting my stationary bike exercise in when I'm done here. Hope everyone has a peaceful, wonderful mother's…

I know, I know....steps are bad. Geez, I went down them one at a time and didn't aggravate the achilles tendon at the time. My big mistake was not putting ice on it at night and not getting my stretching exercises in. Today I was able to get my bike ride, I didn't want to do it at first but fulfilled 30 min.before I knew…

I haven't gotten in an exercise for the last two days! Sunday I went up and down the stairs quite a few times and my ankle is really did not take that well at all. I had therapy today and when my PT took the roller to the back of my calves I literally clinched my teeth with the pain. Hoping tomorrow I'll get back on track.…

Those were great ideas, I think I'll try the lipstick as well. I so relate to your clothes issue. My wardrobe of late has been very dark (blacks, blues, dark grays) I just took out my spring/summer clothes and actually tried on all of the pants and some shirts. I couldn't believe how they no longer fit because of my weight…

Happy Saturday all!! My Friday did not go as planned, let's put it this way - got home really late and ate a Lean Cuisine dinner with 4 glass of wine, no exercising at all. Today is a new day and I've gamed planned well. Already got my bike ride in, have good meals planned for the day, and need to work on house cleaning…

Really!!!??? Oh my goodness, how cruel!! What is that a praying mantis?? As long as you don't post a _ _ _ _ _ I'll be able to breathe. They make my skin crawl - yew... I know i said it before, but I am so glad I got the stationary bike. I didn't get to the gym, again today. I only put 13 minutes into it, but it's better…

So, I got my stationary bike and I am absolutely in love! It's perfect for my needs. It folds up when not in use, has a very comfortable seat, and very quiet. This will be nice if I choose to get up early and workout before going to work and not make a bunch of noise. Today is the perfect example, my husband needed the car…

Good evening from Syracuse, New York:heart:

You'll get back on track Vader, some days are harder than others. I went over, that Italian bread (warmed up) is just too good to pass up. A local bakery in my hometown makes it and I know better than to buy it, but it said "kathy - take me home". So I did :) I think I might do a drastic switch up with my diet. I checked…

Went to planet fitness yesterday (took Thursday off - ankle was swollen and PT wasn't happy about that). Geez, I'm sorry when you have a person whose always "on the go" and never sits down it's a little hard to ask them to chill on the couch for months on end!!!!!!!!! Okay, got that out of my system. Anyhoo....I did 20 min…

I met with my PT today, no low impact exercise until I meet with my doctor next month,which means, no walking my neighborhood :sad: I can workout on the stationary bike though, and plan to go after work on Friday. Also I need to start working on my core and plan on some leg exercises and abdom. crunches. Did well on my…

Name: Kathy Weight: 177.7 Goal: No alcoholic drinks til Friday (so far 3 for 3 :) Exercise: Limited - went to Planet Fitness today Seeing my physical therapist tomorrow, hopefully my doctor called her about working on my achilles tendonities issue. It's been two weeks since I was allowed to exercise and I tried the…

So, I went on line and bought a stationary bike, can't wait to get it it! Until my houseguest leaves I plan on storing it upstairs in the living room. It folds up so it won't be in the way. I won't be able to do much on the bike at first, but I'll get something. On Wednesday I plan to go to PF after work. I've gotta to…

I usually do really well on getting my protein in and stay within my carb and sodium limits. My pitfall is fat and sugar quotas, no matter how hard I try I never stay within quota. ugh.... So, my left foot is feel much better (I got rid of the black book over the weekend and tried a brace with a cushion for the back of…
