So here are my stats for the challenge. I have gone over on calories several times and I have eaten stuff that is not good for me so my weight this last week has been going up and down. I need to be more consistent. I can do this. Name: Catherine Age: 53 Height: 5’3" Highest Weight: 264 Starting Weight: 222.8 Current…

Hello everyone, Sorry I haven't been here much. You know how it gets when both home and work keep you busy. I have been prepping to do the 5K Heart walk, it was yesterday. I met my friends there and we had fun but I have a confession. During the walk there is a point where you make a decision to turn left to walk one mile…

@happygirlxxx I think we have all been there. You can do this, you did it before you can do it again. Welcome back everyone who has been away. It is good seeing all the posts on this board. I am excited about the challenge. I plan to workout or go for walks/runs three times a week. I am actually up to two miles now. OK…

@dustyspal I think that if you put @ in front of their username it tags them so they get an notification on top of the home board. That way you can hit the notification and it will take you right to the message @skinnyjeanzbound I vote for number of workouts (your own definition of that, walk, exercise, run, etc...) since…

@mnwalkingqueen I am so glad the dog training went so well! So no walk today it was pouring down rain. I thought about going to gym but of course I found plenty of excuses not to go. I ended up getting my car inspected and went grocery shopping instead. I will definitely go tomorrow, no excuses. Hopefully it won't rain,…

@mnwalkingqueen the nice things about pets is they are so willing to love and forgive if you make mistakes. I think our pets behavior can often mimic the owners feelings. You have been through alot and so has he. You will both pull through this together. @skinnyjeanzbound so are you in a challenge or are you just posting…

@mnwalkingqueen I am so with you about the daylight savings. It is such an annoyance. Messes up my internal clock for about a week when we do it. @skinnyjeanzbound I technically work at a school, it is a university hospital and look forward to retirement, which probably won't be for another 12 years. So for now I have to…

@sweeetypie1 Great job about going for the walk. A start is a start and after awhile it will get easier. I am glad you blood sugar is under control I now have my Blood sugar under control but that is due to medications. My A1C is 5.7 last visit. At first I was diligent about avoiding sugar and only having sugar free foods…

I thought I would take a moment and introduce myself. My name is Catherine. I am 53 years old and I am 5'3" and 222lbs. I live in Texas. I am the mother of 4 adult children and one lovely granddaughter that is 10 years old. I am a nurse in the Cath Lab. I have been overweight ever since I had my last child (he is now 28).…

@Losin2gether23_Nae thanks. I really need to get back to working out. It seems that as I get older I get hurt more, and I am only 53. LOL The food dairy really helped me take stock of what I put in my mouth. I don’t eat a lot of food but what I eat is full of carbs. It is so hot here in Texas. I can’t wait until the…

Hi everyone I am back after a long break so I doubt anyone remembers me. I have decided to get back on track and focus on losing weight. My max weight was 264. Just last year I lost over 50 lbs and started to feel better about myself. I was almost into one-der land. Then I had knee surgery and between the comfort foods and…

@kbeyer23 Great job on the weight loss and so sorry you have to deal with all that cold weather. I imagine you are used to it living in Michigan but I live here in Texas and was actually bummed that spring break was too cold to go swimming. I guess seeing your post put things in perspective for me. Don't worry before long…

Thank you @bapcarrier for running the challenge. I know that it was extra effort on you and I wanted you to know that I appreciated you. That was the first time that I have taken part in a challenge. I usually don't like to do these because I have to actually put down my actual weight for the world to see and I don't want…

@happygirlxxx that is the fantastic news!!!! Well I made it to workout today, so go me. I spent 30 min using the weight machines. I spent a lot of time doing arm exercises and my arms feel like they are going to fall off right now. I dread how tomorrow will feel. But the results will be worth the effort.

Wednesday wish I don't have any new wishes just hope that all my friends stay healthy and happy. Work is going great I even got complimented today. One of the Cardiologists said that he really likes it when I am assigned to his room. He likes working with me. Diet is going good. I even went out to eat tonight to Texas…

Saturday Succuess/Sunday Share I have overall been very sucessful in my diet. I would be happy losing only one pound a week because then I would feel like it will stay off. Slow and steady! I have not been successful working out though. I had plans to go workout both Sat and today but didn't go either day. I feel real…

Thursday truth Today I went out to eat for lunch and I had a big lunch with mashed potatoes for the first time in over a month. I only ate half the serving but I felt so tired and sick to my stomach afterwards. Not sure if it was the large meal or the potatoes but I sure regretted it. So I just had a very light meal (snack…

Wednesday wish Besides the usual wish to stick to my diet and continue to work out, I wish I could have more time. Today I basically had to work a 15 hour day instead of my usual 8 hrs because I was on call. I am still on call so I could potentially have to go back to work. I fell like I get nothing done at home. Maybe I…

Tuesday goals My goal is to keep working out daily at least 4 days a week. Yesterday I worked on cardio, today I went to a yoga class. It was kinda sad really because I couldn't do any poses and have zero balance but you know what, I will keep going until I get better. Right now I am so sore from stretching muscles that I…

Monday check in Well I worked out today for the first time in about a year. Walk/run (mostly walked) only 1.25 miles and then got on the stationary bike for 1 mile to cool down. I think I am going to try and go every day. Tomorrow will be weights or a class we'll see it depends on the class. (I detest the weights) but I…

@Nikion901 that worked thanks

@skinnyjeanzbound I have the macros on my computer display but not on my cell phone. I didn't see any way to release it unless I go premium, unless you know something I don't. @ambrrr01 welcome back, I just came back as well. @happygirlxxx I don't think that everything in moderation is referring to your effort toward…
