I just finished 5 1/2 miles with my daughter. I didn't think I'd make it but I did! Just started back running about 3 months ago and just started back with my logging on MFP this week. I can tell a BIG difference! Everyone have a great weekend.

Hi Sherry! OK, now that you're on here you will have to keep me posted as to your progress. I think it is really a great site to track your eating and encourage you to make better choices. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

I would think it is different for each individual. I've been up for 2 hours now and just finished my breakfast. When I first got up I had to have a cup of two of coffee before I hit the treadmill for 4 miles and then ate after a cool down. I do agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, at least it is for…

Thank you o wise one! :happy: I'm going to a winery today. Actually to help bottle (I'm a member of the Purple Finger Club) but I'm sure we will consume a glas or two before the day is done! :drinker:

I occasionally go over also; and it is usually on the weekends. I've been trying to up my walking/jogging as much as time allows and just really watch it on the good days. I'll ocasionally go under my calorie consumption too but usually not as often as I go over. I just keep trying my best which up until 2 months ago I…

Hey Nicki! Glad to see you post on here. I've been on MFP since the first of February and love it. There is a lot of great information from some really helpful people all with the same goal ~ to live a healthier life. Welcome! :flowerforyou:

You go for it! I've been a female firefighter for over 14 years and I love it. It's very challenging and it pushes me to stay in shape and to do my best. You've come to a great place for support and info. Good luck and keep me informed!

You've got a lot of great motivators there. Don't forget the most importatnt reason that you've quit smoking and decided to get in shape is YOU!!!! :flowerforyou:

You're in the same boat I was in. I turned 50 last year and hated the changes I was seeing in my body. I've always been in good shape and never more than 15 pounds overweight. Since joining MFP and paying better attention to what goes in my mouth I can see a change in just over a month. Hang in there; you've come to the…

That sounds like alot to me! My main focus used to me on weight training but I've switched to cardio primarily. I still do light weight training or similar 2-3 times a week and I try to walk or jog some everyday.

I will pray for healing and comfort for this family. God is good.

September 18th ~ Virgo. Happy Birthday to one and all! :drinker:

Poor Angie; I'm sorry you were sick this weekend! :flowerforyou: I'm glad you're feeling better; take care of yourself. Drink some hot tea and get your rest; exercise can wait another day. (I sound like a mother) :laugh:

Welcome! This site is the best. Not only is it a great tool to track your eating and progress but also to meet some super people and grasp some good ideas from them. Glad you found it! :flowerforyou:

I just try to find the closest thing on our food list. I figure being off on my calorie count once in a while isn't going to sink my ship when I'm pretty accurate most of the time. Have fun! :flowerforyou:

I'm with you on the fiber. I'm doing likewise and I too love Kashi products. Another product that I've mentioned before with the fiber benefits is the Fiber One bars. YUM!!!!!

When I'm craving something sweet I go for either a Fiber One bar by General Mills (I like all three flavors although I'm partial to the chocolate) or the Jello Pudding De Luce Snack Pack.

Yum! I'm going to try this soon. Thank you for sharing. :flowerforyou:

Welcome to My Fitness Pal! You will find lots of help and interesting people here who can encourage you in your journey to live a healthier life.:drinker:

Welcome! You've come to the right place; I joined the beginning of February. Lots of good info and encouragement from some great people all trying to live healthier lives.

I don't think that sounds like alot. There are so many benefits from eating apples that I wouldn't care if they were more than that! Anytime you can eat whole foods it is better.

I think we are supposed to be able to see it where I live in Illinois. The big question is whether I can stay awake to see it!

Good luck; sounds like you're on the right track. You'll get plenty of support at MFP.

Last night was the second time this has happened. It seems that I am dreaming throughout the night about what I've eaten and that I need to log it in MFP. Am I becoming obcessive compulsive about this? :wink:

My excuse lately when I have had a bad day is the weather. I believe there are highs & lows connected with everything. You will have easier days. I can do all things through God who gives me strength!

That is great! That is why we keep the lights dim in the bedroom anymore. :blushing:

You've come to the right place. Welcome & good luck!

This sounds good; it will be my next dessert when I feel like making a special treat. Thanx!:flowerforyou:

That was pretty good; I have several friends that will relate to it. :laugh:

You've come to the right place! Great support and ideas to help and encourage. Welcome! :flowerforyou:
