I'm just coming back after a long long break that brought back my 70lbs. I had some health issues and was caring for my dying mother. I understand how difficult of a situation you are in. Though no longer caring for my mother I still care for my dad, and I'm a CNA that works with clients that need in home care. I just…

Feeling pretty blah and having hard time sleeping, otherwise good here. Not riding, but getting plenty of workout with house stuff as we are prepping for painting and such. My legs are actually sore from squatting and stuff to get to the baseboards! Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Sounds like you got the blahs too…

Been MIA for a couple days, thought I'd check in. Eating has been in cal range, but semi junky since I'm submitting to pms cravings. One day I'll find e healthy alternatives that work for my body, until then I accept moderation of those foods. I'm getting my exercise in, jus not in the cycle form, I've learned that I need…

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Let's see...sat was my off day but I still did some strength straining and yesterday I got in my 30. Hope to get In at least 30 of something today.

Thats a good goal for tomorrow!

May sound like an odd question ladies, but here it is.... Because of my knees I have a hard time getting up off the floor. Do you think it would be too much of bad thing doing them on the bed? Crunches, leg lifts and stuff like that. Push ups im doing on the wall. I did my crunches and stuff on the bed last night but…

Lol, sounds like we all had modifications to our exercise plans yesterday! Awesome thing is we all came in with a backup plan for today, I love it! After classes yesterday I was thankful I did the 30DS in the morning so that I had at least half my time in so didn't feel as guilty. I'm definitely not gonna be able to do…

Slight change of plans, too much homework tonight and I need sleep! Tomorrow is the last day before spring break so works getting crammed in at the last minute. Oh well. I'll do my 60 tomorrow and take the 30 for today. Plus still doing some weights today. Hope everyone else had a good one!
-
Starting off with a new day! So.... I most likely will not be doing 2 sets of 30 minutes on the bike today, just one. Why? Because I just did the 28 minute video of the 30DS via youtube!!! (with modifications due to knees) Hope every one has a great day!

Thanks for the input Star and Sadie, much appreciated.lm Gonna cut out the protein supplements for a few weeks and see if there is a difference, and work on not eating those exercise calories back. I may have to automatically reduce the cal burn amount in half when it post so I Don't "see" those kinda available calories.…

Ok.... So I've heard f the 30dS but never looked it up or watched a video. Since y'all are doing it I wanted to see what it was all about, I sat here and watched the entire 28 minutes of it. Holy cow! To each one of you doing the 30ds, mad props!!!

@starchile Since the new year Ive gone over my calories 2-3 times. I dont eat as 'clean' as I should, I would say its a balance and its better than it was before.. when I was actually losing on a weekly basis. I tend to eat close to half of my exercise calories back... sometimes a little over half/sometimes a little under.…

Haven't got mine in yet today, planning to after class. Weighed in this morning and feeling frustrated, I've only lost 3.4 lbs since November. Started cycling about three weeks ago and honestly thought it would help, also started paying closer attention to macros. I'll check back in once I've exercised, hopefully it'll…

I'm a little jealous of the swimming too! Can't wait til it warms up enough here to swim. Skittles, sorry to hear about the tail bone, I know that hurts! Mine happened many years ago and I still have problems with it. I have a stationary bike that I am using for my cycling, and I've had to resort to putting a pillow on the…

Thanks for sharing! I used to be one of those girls that accepted any man that would accept me, it always ended badly. It actually hasn't been until this past year that I've been more accepting of myself, and of being single. I do joke about not being the 'stereotypical old cat lady', but I have come to a point in life…
-
I like that! I know there are guys out there that like big girls, I've had a couple self proclaimed chubby chasers hit on me. My issue with that is I don't want to be liked/loved because of my size. I want to be loved for who I am as a person.
-
I'd also like to add.... Though it would be nice to have a partner in life I've come to accept the fact that it's possible I'll remain single. I've be married before and learned from my mistakes. I'm way more self accepting of the single life than I am of the unhealthy obese life. I'll choose healthy, fit, and single first…

Lol, I did the opposite! The picture I used for the dating profile was not very flattering, in my opinion, I had been walking around Yellowstone all day, was sweaty, hair pulled back, rolls and all showing. The pic I sent via text was way more flattering and more recent. I purposefully posted the most unflattering full…

Hi, and welcome Laura! I'm sure you'll find it seems we are predominately on devices using the app and don't get to the message boards as often as we would like. ... Or maybe that's just me? I started MFP at 391lbs, my highest that I know of since I refused to weigh for a long time due to fear of the number I would see.…

I prepare ziplock freezer baggies with different fruits(apples included), spinach and/or kale and I've never had a problem with things going "all meh". I don't have a super powered blender so I cut up everything before I freeze it, and let it thaw some before blending. The greens look moist once thawed but that's just from…

I'm way behind on message board postings! Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Frank, this is so awesome!! Congrations on getting under 300, you have been working your tush off to get to this point, and I know you'll continue your hard work.

I've noticed this too. Ive got PCOS/PMDD and had to have extra meds added just because of the extra strength depressive mood swings/episodes I would have with those issues. Sadly my immediate family has learned when to leave me alone and try their best to ignore what I say during certain periods of the month.

It was pointed out a few years ago that I smell everything I eat or drink before it goes into my mouth the first time in that setting, now that Ive been made aware of it I notice it too. Also, I like to use yogurt instead of milk with some types of cereals.
