@suzstaats - yeah message boards can be a little awkward. You can create a running record by either copying and pasting your last post into a new one, or grab your last post by tapping "quote" You can leave the quote coding, or delete it. Your new post will go on the last page. I post every couple of days, and just make a…

Whew. And for my rest day, a 1 mile walk to get my steps and cardio in :)

I'm in. I already do lunges and squats as part of my exercise routine. It's time to shoot for consistency. I struggle with active minutes and exercise goals with no real plan or routine. Using the examples from @superfood75 I've come up with an accelerated plan - 3 days "on" / 1 day of rest. I'm over 60, have a sedentary…

Yay! 🎉🎉🎉

That happened to me this spring. Made me nuts. I found some articles online that linked stress responses of increased cortisol and fluid weight gain to the stress we impose on our bodies when we amp up exercise and healthy eating. It kinda made sense. I double checked my food diary and made sure that I had my calorie…

@realgirl177 I feel you! I've been looking at the scale doing that this month too. Wondered if it was me, something wrong with scale, or some weird planetary alignment 😂😂😂

Look at all of you slamming your August goals! Way to go ✊

@mari_moulin - Great job! Finishing the C25K is a big accomplishment! Welcome back!

Decided to wait on the meal planning until after the farmer's market. Came home with a bounty. Corn, green beans, new potatoes, yellow & green summer squash, cucumber, tomatoes, and a small eggplant. Also splurged on a small loaf of spinach feta bread. Obviously I'm not doing Keto, but I have a healthy start for the week's…

I did it! Got a call from my sister in law just as I was wrapping up my work day. She was going to be near my home - did I want to meet her at my local park and do the 2 mile trail? It would have been so easy to say no, that I was exhausted. It's Thursday, and I'm already in overtime. I bucked up and I did it, because this…

I hear you, Dawn. (((Hugs))) It took me 6 months to get the 140's and I was lucky to stay there this month. I have had to drop weight before - I have never had such a hard time dropping it.

Yes. The MFP calorie allowance already calculates a deficit for your desired rate of loss and figures in your declared activity level. I posted how I calculate on Friday. And that number is pretty close to what MFP calculates for me. What I've learned about that MFP calorie allowance for me is that it's off by around 230…

Sorry. I probably didn't explain well. I use a "macro calculator" on healthyeater.com. If I put my age, weight, and height in and set my activity level at light, it tells me I need 1650 to maintain current weight. So more a 500 calorie deficit, I target 1150 for my calorie intake. When I say that I do not eat any calories…
