If I am eating out somewhere that has a website, I look up the nutritional information and decide in advance what I want to order. Or, I look on the menu for items that are marked healthier choices.

Aqua Zumba - love it!

I made Pizza Chicken, which is one of my favorite recipes from Denise Austin's Jump Start book. I also made carrots, green beans and whole wheat couscous. Also, while the oven is on - which does not happen often in summer - I am making a vegetable tian - roasted vegetables - yellow squash, tomato, potato, onion I added a…

Congratulations! You look happier in each picture!

Hi! I am Nancy, almost 45 - one week til my birthday! I am married, and a mom of 2. My daughter is 13 and my son is 9. I have been up and down with weight my whole life. I joined MFP in Jan., 2011, and lost 38 lbs., then regained 30, and am now at about 14 lbs. lost again. I had a hysterectomy last Sept, and find it takes…

Start weight: 221.5 Goal Weight for this challenge: 201.5 Lbs to Lose: 20 08/01: 221.5 09/05: 10/03: 11/07: 12/05: 12/26:<<<GOAL WEIGHT>>> Seeing these dates makes me feel like I need to start Christmas shopping!!

1255 days! Now if I'd stayed consistent with diet and exercise, I would have lost a lot more weight in that time frame!

I use my Fitbit as a motivator, but I don't have it synced to MFP. It tracks every step throughout the day, but what I do is use MFP to log food, and only add steps as exercise to MFP as a walk if I actually took a walk. I also do Aqua Zumba which doesn't show up on my Fitbit. I have done this for 6 weeks and have lost…

I also use a certain pair of shorts - how they fit at the start of summer, and every few weeks after that. It's easy to see progress that way when the scale isn't moving as fast as I'd like!

Love this idea! Thanks for sharing!

I am in Berks County, PA - feel free to add me if you want!

Feel free to add me - almost 45!

Add to the wait list please - any house is fine!

Welcome to MFP and good luck! Feel free to add me if you want to add friends for support!

Is anyone still active on the Striiv app? I have been using it for a few weeks and would love to add friends, but I don't know anyone who is on it. If you are active and want to add me, it's nan242vin@aol.com. thanks!

I sent you a friend request. You may want to check out the forums - you can probably find a group with people on a similar journey and with similar interests, or a new moms group. Nancy

Thank you for sharing your story and congratulations on how far you have come! I love that your family is so involved and you are all getting healthier together!!

Hi Rachel! I am Nancy - been on MFP awhile - lost, regained, losing again! I am 43, almost 44, and need to lose at least another 60 pounds. I am on here regularly, so feel free to add me.

I wish Stephenie Meyer would finish Midnight Sun - LOVE what is available to read.

A day late, but I love it! I posted earlier on my status about goals for the new month - drop 5 lbs., add more fruits/veggies, & cut back on the soda - I only drink diet, but I'm cutting it back to one or less a day. I have been replacing it with water, and hit the water goal for yesterday and today. I have been back at…

Loved reading this back to basics mindset - that's what I need right now!

Congratulations! You look fantastic!!:smile:

Absolutely! I had started MFP in Jan. of 2011 & lost 38 lbs over a year, and now I have gained back 24 of it & am trying to move in the right direction again. It's frustrating. I have a yearly dr. visit coming up soon & dread weighing in!

Great challenge idea!! Very creative, although it would make me have to think more than usual when I watch the movie! Finally over the bronchitis for the most part and ready to get back in the groove!
