Thank you everyone. You are right. Food in moderation is the key. The more you ignore a food the more you want it. Thanks for advice.

I am now retired.........so I have the time to exercise............started rehab for my knees today. Hope to be better to walk soon.

Hello All. I seem to have the most problem with motivation..........Getting it go'n. I start rehab for my knees tomorrow for 4 wks..........maybe that will put me in the mood since I KNOW I WILL HAVE TO DO DAILY EXERCISES AT HOME TOO.............now and when I am finished to keep my knees strong. I have a friend who is…

Do i copy and paste this

:)

What was your main reason for success on the MFPal? What helped you the most???

Looking for encouragement on logging food and sticking to it.

Thank you for the support. I am on the PC all day at work....hard to take 5 and log my food. Maybe I could do it at work...each time I eat....something. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Would like to lose 35 lbs. But I will take 5 to start.

:cry: Looking at all my old posts..............I THINK I AM A FRUSTRATED DIETER!!!!! NEED HELP I THINK.

:smile: Mine is 1400. I have been lacking on working at myself...........losing weight. I can see the results of that in many areas of my body. We are coming up on Easter, food,....then May 1 is vacation so that is when I will be watchful. I will be back on track on May 12. I hope. This is so hard....and endless.:cry:

:smile: Sad isn't it that we have to start again. But thankful also that we have MFP to come back to. I too am starting back today. I am too heavy. I do sit alot of my day as Administrative Manger of a company. I have arthritis in my knees. If I sit too much they get stiff, if I walk to much they hurt. I do take medication…

Wow....today I decided since it was pouring (I live in PA), I would go to Chili's for lunch. I started out with a small house salad. Two tablespoons of ranch dressing. THEN I MADE MY BIG MISTAKE. I ordered a Bacon Ranch Chicken Quesedea...thinking since it does not have much in it, it would be fine. I ate NONE of the…

Thank you to all who wrote to me. I guess just starting here (as I did in the past...and gave up) is a start. I can tell you that having a Chick-Fil-A Chicken Salad on a Crossant is not good. Over 500 calories for lunch just in that sandwich. UGH. I will do better tomorrow. I do not like to eat "in" at work. We have a…

NONE ...I need to get busy and just "DO IT". :cry:

Walking.........walking. Know what makes a person walk far from a Wal-Mart entrance. Buy a new car......and keep way out in the lot so no one parks next to you........that is walking far. I walk fast in and out to the car. I walk fast in the store. On these chilly days in PA....it is a brisk walk outside. I am trying.…

:flowerforyou: Awesome encouragement! I just need to get up and get moving. The eating is not bad........just the not moving is what is my downfall. I so appreciate the responses. My girlfriend and I started MFP together. She has lost 15 lbs..........because SHE MADE UP HER MIND to do it!!!!!!!!!! I apparently have not. I…

This evening I realized something important that is very much in the line of motivation. I saw a friend write about being in a 5K soon. He doesn't like to exercise. He is just starting to walk/run and he is trying to do what he can to improve his health. He has three daughters and a great wife. My response back to him was…

Hi. You have lost 26 lbs since Jan? How are you doing this? What do you eat for lunches. That is my downfall? Great going!

Hi. How long has it taken you to lose 30 lbs? What has worked for you? Just looking for a boost.:flowerforyou:

So today after evening news.......even though I have a cold........I put my coat on and walked around my yard. I sit way too much at work so I think when it is Spring, I may just walk the parking lot or go out and walk for a tiny break. I think I dislike going down stairs to ride my recumbant bike. It is a beautiful piece…

Great!!! You are gettng somewhere. You are making progress. One day you will be able to turn around and look down. Can't say I like the scale part either.........but it just tells me there needs to be something done about it. Keep going sweetie..........you are doing fine.

Wow! I am listening! I will try harder. Not really sure how to plan the week. I must be missing that on MFP. I do have some dinneres made for this week. Motivation is difficult.........but I certainly hear what you are saying. Sort of feel like my get up and go has got up and went.........but I will make a complete effort…

Has been an off week. Had a couple dr. appointments that made me not feel good. Have not exercised this week. Just plain too tired so it has been a week of early to beds and some meds making me tired. I am off tomorrow - FRIDAY.........so happy about that. I need the break at work. Busy time there right now with Trade…

So it was one of those days when I did nothing that I thought I would except log-in and hope to exercise. My hubby and I go to BK every Sat. morning. Empty Nester's for several years now. I went to the store and bought everything I need to make Sausage Corn Chowder for a Women's event at church in a few weeks. Thinking I…

This evening........I could not fulfil my week of doing SOMETHING every night for exercise. So this evening I found my "BIGGEST LOSER" workout DVD. I did the 10 min. cardio. Yep, it is a work out for someone who has not done much. I can not get into it like the THIN people.......but I feel I did a good job for an out of…

[TO REMIND ME EVERYDAY.........JUST DO IT! THANK YOU>>>>>>>I needed this.:smooched: GET'ER DONE!!! For me, I've come to realize its nothing to do with motivation-i mean i exercise because i want to lose weight, but what gets me out there isn't "motivation". Sometimes I look forward to working out, its true. Most of the…

This week I have committed to exercise in some fashion every night. I am in 4 days now and still doing something. Riding my recumbant bike......stretch bands. I used weights as I bike and watch tv. My daughter go me a "Ride O Vision" DVD for Christmas last year and I just opened it a week ago. It is beautful scenery of…

What is Fitbit One? How does it work?

Thank you all. This has been very encouraging to me. I watch the Biggest Loser too. I have decided a couple wks ago not to SIT while I watch it. DO SOMETHING. So I am on the floor doing exercises while the commercials come on. I will keep going. Sometimes......I think I am my own worst threat. I used to head a program…
