  • yummy deliciousness! for the second time in as many days I just wrote out a whole post and then lost it when I hit "done" on the app, instead of post reply. gaa! sending regards, best wishes, motivational thoughts and 'hang in there!'s to those who need 'em! :), jeri lynn in los angeles
  • thank you too Wendy and big hugs to Patty!
  • lisa, that sounds like a really interesting way of eating! best of luck! Michele, I am also a y person. I think walking on tread and doing elliptical are about the same. whatever you enjoy is probably the best, though! jane, I think the fact that you are running is all that matters! not how far/fast. keep up the good work.…
  • btw, I am jeri lynn from los angeles
  • looks like my post got cut off:(. I will attempt to catch up again tomorrow!
  • lol, that is hilarious! thanks for the laugh :-) I am one of the newbies and have very limited time online so I'm sorry I'm probably never going to be completely caught up! but I will do my best! I just wanted to come in and say hi. I teach four and five-year-olds and today was a blast. But I am exhausted! tomorrow is the…
  • hello ladies! I would love to join :-). my name is jeri lynn (you can call me jl), I am 54 yo and about 30 lb overweight. Ack! I am the proud momma of 10 year old twin boys and I live in so cali. I have worked out regularly my entire adult life, usually 4 to 5 hours/wk. however, I recently went back to work full-time for…
  • also back on the wagon... best of luck to all!
  • don't dog the commies!
  • hi, all! I am new. been tracking here and there on mfp for a while, but trying to make it consistent now. starting in a new class at the ymca soon. I am 54, about 25lbs overweight (possibly more, haven't checked!). fitness is actually a huge priority of mine--my ten year old twin boys eat no junk and are very active. I'm…
  • weight gain is not a forgone conclusion, so best of luck!! yesterday was my 20 year anniv from quitting:). I did gain a little bit back then, but lost it quickly. starting to exercise is a great idea! best of luck!!
  • hang in there! It's okay. It's a really hard time of year. Just being conscious of what you were doing is helpful. Best of luck!
  • sounds like you already got great advice. i always rest for 30 seconds between sets. good luck! jeri lynn
  • i work out around 5 hours/week, so i don't generally track anything that's not actual exercise. however, a couple times when i was having an exercise day off but feeling sorry for msyelf and wanting to look like i ate less calories, i have logged things like short walks.... unfortunatlely, that's doing me NO good, as i've…
  • yes, do it! now that you've started making progress, you'll probably get stronger quicker than you think. and it sounds like it'll be a great movitvation! gl, jl
  • mine twins would not stay in a stroller past two years old. in fact, they would'nt stay in a stroller past about 9 months, unless they had bottles in their hands and were getting ready to snooze. i have total stroller envy of anyone who can keep their kids in one! so, if yours will stay in, i think it's a great way to work…
  • i agree w/all who say you can! also, i agree it's gotta be the diet. i am in the same boat. i work out 4-5 hours/week and burn 2500-3k cals. but i hadn't lost weight in several years until i started tracking what i eat here at this site. there's a sign at my gym that says "you get fit at the gym, but you lose weight in the…
  • i had tennis elbow two years ago and it was really a year before i was truly back to normal! that said, i sometimes feel slight pain even now, but i was able to go back to upper body weight training after about 5 months off. i know that sounds like a lot. maybe yours isn't as bad (and i'm almost 50, which i'm sure is a…
  • great question! thanks for the responses. i just ordered a pink bangee:). ~~jl
