Going w my daughters for 2 weeks and then DH is joining us for 4th of July weekend. I DO need to get me fire back (still). It's a struggle sometimes staying focused. I…

WELCOME RENAEJAE!

Good Luck! :) hope u r feeling better!

HAPPY MONDAY GALS! I need to stay extra focused this week... I have lost a bit of my fire. (danger zone!) my goal is to plan and stay focused on burning calories. BTW, there is a group that is doing a "burn 3500 calories a week" challenge if any of you are interested. I focus on that now...but figured what the heck - a…

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY checking in... where is everyone? :noway: I am running a little low on steam.... I need you gals. :heart: I need some more fire! :sad: Me - yesterday day - great 6 mile walk. ate plan throughout the day. took the evening off and enjoyed a Lebanese family dinner at a great restaurant with my family -…

I bet it was fun! love it!

WTG GALS! doughnuts and mountains...so different in size, but when you think about it - both are huge accomplishments! Me....what I conquered yesterday..... "the evening", and making it through it. I sooooo wanted to smash my face into something yummy....anything! nut it was 6pm and I told myself "just need to make it…

Ahhhh.......:smile: NSV I get it now! my jeans - they are still my "fat" jeans but I couldn't comfortably fit in them 2 weeks ago!

good question....but sad when I think about it - lol I am 5'6/5'5 (shrinking...) 20's = 120-125lbs Pregnant = 172lbs Before MFP = 165 (been on it 2 weeks) Today = 156lbs Goal = 140-142lbs

NSV? what does it stand for? :) TGIF TOO! hello gals, walked an hour and did push-ups and squats in the park. I have been soooooooooo good these passed 2 weeks. I thought it was remarkable I lost 8 lbs within the first 9 days....though I got on the scale this morning and I am pretty much the same weight (after now 2…

Me too! I love those! WTG and the control factor!!

THURSDAY -CHECKING IN.... morning gals! woke up w the birds and got my 90 minutes fast walk in. meeting a friend for coffee this morning - just coffee, no cream, no sugar :noway: need to get on the scale tomorrow and check my progress. it's a love/hate relationship with that dang scale! I need to 'study' that little…

"stayed mindful" - that's what I need to remember to do when I eat :) no worries.. it's no doubt water weight gain. that'll ne gone in a couple days :smile:

what an array of exercises! :love: I do power walking too - 6 miles/90 minutes. I like to run but my knee has been bothering me lately - argh. Boot camp type of classes are fun. I find they are competitive and keep me going - a GREAT sweaty/cardio workout! I like to keep weights mixed in to, it helps to "co0mpact" the ol'…

I lift, but not "heavy". it takes time to tone your muscles - lots of time. and eat lean and clean and you will see a difference. start out with lighter weights and work your way up - over time. be patient :)

stick to MFP and count your calories and log your exercise. it's a real eye opener. you WILL lose :smile:

WELCOME dt3312! "active".... we NEED to be active at this stage of our lives :laugh: (not only online - lol) I WISH I knew that answer. not really sure if you can "set" to receive most recent. what I do, when I bring up a thread, I just go to the last page and scroll down. hope that helps a little jill

WEDNESDAY...checking in. everyone seems to be happy and humming along this week. yeah! had a great workout this morning - boot camp strength cardio type of workout. munching on kale, egg whites and tomato for breakfast - yum. HIKE CALI - I LOVE hummus too! great for evening munching w veggies. :love: LISELE - WTG on the…

do you know if the fitbit phone app works/sincs with MFP? I have the app but can't really figure it out. :sad:

onto THIS day! I conquered my fear-lol I am going to workout shortly at a crazy place....art of strength. it's kinda like a boot camp-very intense. after anhour I am dripping in sweat, but feel great. looking forward to it!

welcome freshcrayons! sounds like you have lots of "kids" in your life! that'll help keep you young!:happy:

HAPPY TUESDAY ALL! I am ready to rock this week too! I "ate more calories" yesterday - the holiday - but I was rewarding myself. it was in my plan. I sat down and tracked everything that went into my mouth. to get things humming again today I did an hour walk at 5am w a friend and just finished my 6 miler. that should eat…

WELCOME! GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE!

I LOVE garage sales! it's a blast looking at others peoples "treasures"...enjoy!

ditto! WELCOME GALS! it's a crazy journey, but somehow it's easier to take going through it with folks in the same boat - lol. BEST to you! jill

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY AND HAPPY MONDAY!! easy walk this morning. kind of a day off. planning out my calories - bbq-ing ribs for the holiday - home made sweet potato fries, a healthy green salad and 2 corona light beers. I have never been a "beer drinker" until MFP - lol but I would much rather have 200 calories in 2 beers…

weights are great. they help to "compact" things :) start out slow - lighter weights. if you belong to a gym, doing one session with a trainer is very beneficial. they can plan out a routine for you and show you the proper amount of weight to lift and the proper way to lift. if you lift weights incorrectly, it can do far…

funny! is aloe vera known to be a weight loss type of juice? curious .

went to a BBQ last night - stuck to my eating plan, NO dessert (well FOUR m & m's) proud of myself. baby steps will add up to one hot mama! :laugh:

Ladies, come join us at the group "Menopause - taking action!" after I started this thread we formed a group. would love to share our journey together! jill
