Not too many miles today, but got in a few. November 17th 11.1 miles November total -230.4 miles To Go - 119.6 miles Goal - 350 miles

I think plateaus do exist and they seem to happen at weights that were hard to get by before. I know that probably does not make sense, but it seemed to happen to me. My most recent one lasted 34 days. And i definitely think most of those days were at a calorie deficit. But i was very close to my goal weight and it had…

Got more in today than planned. Out this AM cycling and did 21 miles at an average of 16.4mph Then this afternoon hubby wanted to get a ride in so of course he couldn't go without me drafting along. We did 20.2 miles at a good pace considering the wind. I know, i know - complain about the wind when its 74 degrees out!…

NOPE! I am 68 and as i write that - i really find it hard to believe. I now weigh what i weighed when i was 18 and i haven't been anywhere near here in 45 or more years. I am also in the best shape - fitness wise. MFP has made that difference. And my readiness to stick to it and lose the weight. Had MFP been available 20…

I really kept it pretty quiet. My husband, son and daughter and spouses knew, but thats about it. After losing about 12 lbs, one friend noticed and then at 17 lbs lost - at a luncheon, another person had lost 10 lbs and everyone was all over her - Nothing mentioned about me! So i didn't say anything. Then at around 25 lbs…

Got a few more miles in today on the bike- November 14th - 12 miles November Total - 178.1 miles To Go - 171.9 miles Goal 350 miles Keep moving everyone!

Busy day for me Tennis for 1.5 hours still lots of energy Worked out with weights at the gym - 1 hour still lots of energy Cycled for 14 miles - very windy Still lots of energy Sat at the computer for a couple of hours reading posts Almost fell asleep - think i am done! November 13th - 14 miles November Total - 166.1 miles…

Rode the bike twice today. Didn't plan it that way. Went out early this Am with my husband and we did 18 miles. Then~~~~later - i had a big smoothie, a zone bar , my lunch, and thought - i am going to want another treat after dinner - i better ride some more! So got on my bike and did 13.8 more. I will enjoy the treat much…

I haven't found that to be true. I actually think they are too high on their estimate of calories burned. For cycling i have to go for the next Lower Speed to get what i think could be correct. I also think they are too high for Tennis so i count half the time i actually play. Not familiar with much of anything else -…

No miles today - but played tennis twice and went to work out at the gym for an hour Just wanted to say - Congratulations Chevy Smart! Nice going.

I just joined a gym about 3 weeks ago - so i am starting my lifting after about an 8 year layoff. I am going every other day and workout for about an hour each time I am - at the moment - doing legs, arms, abs all on the same day since i am just getting started again. Might keep it up that way - or not - we will see. I am…

3 scoops which is probably about 3/4 cup dry. But i microwave for 7 min 40 sec with water.(twice as much water) Then add a little unsweetened almond milk, about a T of Protein Powder, tsp. of flax seeds, 2 or 3 packets of stevia and 1/2cup blueberries. YUM. Everyday! Love it. I used to have only 1/2 cup and that wasn't…

Started off the day playing tennis. So much fun! But with no fitbit - can't count miles. Had planned on going to the gym for a workout, But..........it was so nice out ...............and i have to report in to Move Your @ss challengeso............. cycled instead - 18.4 miles at a good average for me as i was pushing it…

I have to report in on the @ss challenge! So.......today November 4th - i cycled 18.5 miles to go - 290.6 Goal 350 Maybe i set my goal too low - i forgot that i…

Fortunately, i do not have high BP - actually too low sometimes. But my husband has been trying to control his for years. Best thing - lose weight Limit Sodium Exercise - he has found that even if he is doing everything else right, if he doesn't do some aerobic type exercise every few days,then his BP starts elevating. He…

Nov. 3 - Cycling 20.8 miles - Another gorgeous day - this is why we moved to Florida! To go - 309.1 Goal 350 miles Thanks Dave

Hmmmm~ Coffee with half and half, and stevia Oatmeal with almond milk, stevia, vanilla protein powder, flax seeds, blueberries Grilled Chicken Asparagus Smoothie made with red seedless grapes, blueberries, mixed berries, banana, spinach, protein powder and Ice Brown Rice Abbott Fudge Graham Zone Bars Abbott Dark Chocolate…

Can you ride a bike? I am coming back from an ankle injury - now a year. For the first 4-5 months i couldn't as i was in a boot - but then got on my bike and can attribute my weight loss to calorie intake and cycling. I just don't know about a hip injury if you can do that or not. If it is possible - its a good calorie…

I realize i could eat anything if i fit it in. BUT - i decided early on that some things were just not worthy. I gave up butter. NowTHATt I love, but its just too many calories to make sense. I used to have it on rice, veggies, bread, etc. But now i only use spray butter (zero calories) on veggies. Bread - This is just not…

Sounds right for me. Week #1 November 4th - 360 minuites

Whoops - forgot - also add a couple of T of unsweetened almond milk!

Oatmeal 3/4 cup cooked in microwave with 1.5 cup water for 7 min 40 sec. on 50% power Then add a couple of packets of stevia, teaspoon of flax seeds, 1 T. of vanilla protein powder and 1/2 cup frozen blueberries that i nuke for 12 seconds. Mix all up and its super! Everyday!

Went to a golf/tennis shop that only sells salesmens samples. I had gone a year ago and was hugely disappointed because they only had smalls and mediums. At that time - i wore a large - for sure. No trying on. Went today - and pulled smalls and mediums off to try. (i have not done any clothes shopping since losing weight).…

We are in November - so guess i post here? Off to a good start - November 1st - cycling 20.1 miles To go 329.9 miles Goal 350 miles (lowering Goal this month as i have added weight training and tennis)

Wow, best day yet weather wise! Sunny and about 73-75. Had to help Dave beat his all time month. October 31st - cycled 21.4 miles October miles - 446.8 Goal - Smashed! (400) Still some hours left - get out there and give Dave the miles!

Loved, loved your story and pics! And yes, i read every word. Like many others - this type of story comes at a good time for me. Essentially, i have made my goal too. When i started my journey (May 2013) and had to put down a goal, well - i put down what i weighed in my early 20's. I am almost 68 ! I mean - i thought - if…
