  • Folks....regrets live in the past. Look at what you (we) have accomplished now. No matter our age...we are doing it. We are achieving at the time in our lives when it is meant to be or we wouldn't be doing it. So recognize your past choices - EMBRACE YOUR TODAY CHOICES - and live your life to the fullest. YOU (WE) are…

  • MFP "yells" at me everyday because 1200 is nearly impossible for me also...especially when it is good, fresh, unprocessed foods. It's easy to eat 1200 or more when eating McDonalds (which I still crave :-) and processed foods at home. My MFP base is now set at 1300 plus calories earned from workouts...so if I reach…
