I said earlier that I have a fit bit flex. It is actually a fit bit charge 2. They do different things and I really like the charge 2.

I don't recommend doing that many stairs unless you have been exercising and it is safe to do so. Start slow. If you have to start with just 3 steps, start with 3 steps. Tomorrow maybe you can do 4. The worse thing is to end up hurting yourself and getting frustrated. Look for improvement over time. Don't compare yourself…

I can't figure out how to friend anyone, so if you want to friend me please do. ☺️

I got a Fitbit flex 2 for Christmas and it has been a big motivator for me. I had surgery on my hand 10 days ago, so I have not been able to go to my regular bootcamp exercise class. Instead I've been doing stairs at home and walking. I actually did 54 flights of stairs the other day and I average 15000 steps. I work from…

I've been here 3 years but have really slacked and gained back 20 lbs. I need to get a handle on this. I'm very active, but I love chocolate and don't deprive myself. Today I start logging my food again and hopefully that will help - it did in the past. We can do this!

I have had a few tendonitis issues over the years. About 8 years ago, after doing a ridiculous amount of gardening I developed a very painful tendonitis in my left forearm....I used a brace and babied it for a couple months and it slowly improved - it will occasionally flare up with over use still - but never to the…

bump :)

I have been on the estrogen patch and progesterone pills for almost a year - it has improved my life dramatically. Prior to HRT I had severe hot flashes and "other" menopausal issues. For me, HRT has improved the quality of my life dramatically - I have no risk factors and both my GYN and internist feel like I am the…

Yay You!!! You are a runner!!! I am so happy to hear the joy in your words - you are awesome :)

Congratulations!! It is amazing what we are able to do with the power of God behind us. Keep up the good work :)

Thanks! Can't wait to try them :)

It's a huge deal, and YOU made it happen!!! Congrats :)

Bolthouse classic ranch - 45 cals for 2T or Aunt Mid's raspberry - 40 cals of 2T. Both are in the refrigerator section, and both are yummy :)

Thanks!! Can't wait to try these :)

Assuming that is you in your profile picture - I would say you have a lot to be proud of, and YES - you are drop dead gorgeous!!! :) Enjoy the day!!!

This sounds too good to be true - the whole amount made is only 100 calories? I've gotta try this :) Thanks!

You are simply AMAZING!!! You look absolutely beautiful and sooo much younger! Congratulations!!!

I am sooo proud of you - 20 lbs on someone your height is DEFINITELY noticeable. I would guess people have noticed (unless you are hiding under old baggy clothes) but aren't commenting because they LOVE YOU and don't want you to feel pressured or judged on what you used to weigh. I have two daughters and I try to NEVER…

I haven't had a period in almost 2 years, but the 6 months before my last one were very irregular....heavy bleeding for 10 days straight and then another period in a week...then no period for 2 months...and then 3 in a month....gotta love mother nature :)

Starting at about 1.5 years after my last period, sex became pretty much physically impossible - well, I was too young for that!! I went to my GYN and he put me on a estrogen replacement patch and ...waallaaa...life is good again :) You don't have to put up with this misery - I know everyone might not be able to do HRT,…

You are absolutely beautiful! Congratulations on all your hard work!

Hi all! Been on MFP about a month and love the support. The logging is keeping me on my best behavior and I am keeping track of every calorie. For April, I just want to keep doing what I am doing - and not give into the Easter candy that is sitting on my kitchen table :) I love chocolate and won't give it up entirely, but…

Proud to be Catholic :) I will not eat meat, but I will eat small meals - no fasting. Happy Easter :)

You are amazing and beautiful! Congratulations - so happy for you :)

You are my hero :) Congratulations - you should be very proud!!!

I am your exact height and weigh 138 - and my goal is to lose 10 lbs. I am also way older than you - 50's :) I too carry the weight in my hips and thighs. People have actually told me my face looks too gaunt and that I shouldn't lose the weight - lol. Well, I have started a great exercise program and I LOVE it and I feel…
