Ice cream must be Just out of the freezer. And it has to be an icy taste - not creamy. Otherwise - not worthy My protein bars (Zone) which i am addicted to - must be very cold - preferably right out of the freezer. Warm - i won't eat. I have had cooked Oatmeal with protein powder, flax seeds, blueberries, stevia and a…

I did/do a lot of exercising on my weight loss journey. It definitely is a factor. I want to eat more than 1200 cal. a day and still lose, so exercising a lot was the only way. I have been on MFP almost 7 months now and actually have exceeded my goal, but the last few lbs came off slowly. I am a cyclist, so thats where i…

Just added to my December mileage - great day! December 5th - 17 miles December total - 76.2 miles To Go - 243.8 miles Goal - 320 Miles

There are so many good things happening. I play tennis and i swear there are balls i reach at the net that i would not have 30 lbs before. That is so cool! I can shop and not just look for black clothes, although its such a habit that i still navigate there. I am looking at size 6 and smalls - not 12-14 and large. I…

I really wanted to eat more today - so - the answer is ...........Move. Went out and did 20 miles on the bike. December 3 - 20 Miles December total - 59.2 miles To Go - 260.8 miles Goal - 320 Miles I am going to enjoy a Zone bar soon - one of my addictions!

Not sure, but think you are going to be happy with just upper body workout. I tore a tendon around my ankle 14 mos ago and was in a boot for 8 weeks - then phys therapy. Didn't start lower body for about a total of 6-7 months. Although maybe could have started sooner. And that was /is cycling. Now i can play tennis again…

No one knows what you are saying/asking?

Since i began my weight loss journey in May i have been obsessive regarding exercise. I think it worked! I am very pleased with the rate of loss. For 5 months it was about 1.5 lbs per week. My exercise would usually range from 800-1200 calories burned. I would usually be exercising 2-3 hours a day. 1 to 1.5 hours were…

Didn't really plan to cycle today as i played tennis in the AM, but so glad i did! Great ride--- December 2nd - 20 miles December to date - 39.2 miles To Go 280.8 miles Goal 320 miles Get kickin @Ss movers - you can do it!

Dave ~ I can't remember if i set a goal for December when i signed up? Anyway i think my goal should be about 320 miles. Down from November and October, but with Christmas - i just don't know how my schedule will be. And i am also playing tennis and working out at the gym about every other day. So if i haven't put it down…

Instead of the cheese, i like to think that i have lost 6 - 5pound bags of sugar!

DID IT ~~ DID IT !! Really windy - But because of the Challenge - I HAD to go today. And made my goal! Cycing November 30 - 19.7 miles November total 350.1 miles To go - zero Goal 350 miles Onward to December! Thanks Dave and all others that help this challenge!

Booo - i didn't do anything today except shop! Made the retailers happy anyway. The pressure is now on. I have one day to make goal and i am playing tennis in the AM - So must cycle in the PM !! Hope to log that tomorrow Dave!

I logged 1500 on quick calories. I have no idea how correct that is. But i was sensible at the dinner. Enjoyed it but only ate what i considered "worthy". Rolls to me - unless really special - are not worth it. Plus if i have the rolls - the only way to truly enjoy them is to slather them with butter. So no. Rather have…

Naples Florida!

Looks like i should make my goal of 350 this month, although not quite there. So lets try 350 for December! Cycling.

Gotta add to the monthly total for Dave November 26 - 15.7 miles November total - 330.4 miles To Go - 19.6 miles Goal - 350 miles

I usually eat about 2 Zone Bars a day. 3 - if i have exercised enough! They are awesome - like chocolate candy bars - but supposedly good(?) for you!! Awright - thats why i eat them!

I am right where you are when i first started even shopping for clothes. Here i wear mainly shorts and my shorts were really baggy at 30 lbs lost. I still wore them as i had nothing else. I often shop at Kohls as they have great sales - so i went and was shocked. Before starting my size was a 12 -pushing to a 14 (which i…

Naples, Florida !

Got my ride in earlier than usual today. Beautiful out! November 24th - 23.2 miles November total - 314.7 miles To Go - 35.3 miles Goal - 350 miles Lots of time left for anyone who hasn't gotten out there today. Come on - you can do it!

Treats have enabled me to lose what i have never lost before! I have 1-3 daily. If it won't quite fit in my calories for the day, i will often go do some more exercise so it will! Could not have done this without my treats.........

Coffee -with half and half Oatmeal Blueberries Protein Powder Stevia Almond Milk Chicken Breasts bananas Mixed frozen berries -strawberries, rasberries, blueberries red grapes spinach broccoli green beans cabbage Brown Rice Zone Bars - Fudge Graham and Dark Chocolate Blueberries - have i mentioned that one before???

Beautiful day here today. Got my racing bike out because i need to get used to it again for the State Time Trials next month. Stopped by our bike shop and they adjusted the gears (which needed it - after almost 8 years of hanging there - not in use!). Now its a Fast bike - no excuses! The bike will do it, right? November…

Yes, like others said - i wasn't trying to do a low carb diet - just staying within calorie limits. I think that is what ultimately works.

Well, it seems ok for me. Between my oatmeal that i have everyday with a half cup of blueberries and my smoothie which has a banana, blueberries, grapes, rasberries and blackberries. And then all summer i was eating 4cups of watermelon everyday - i would say - go for it. Just fit it in calorie wise to your daily limit. I…

YES! That is definitely the way to take that comment! Good for you - and you are right - she will still be the stupid one. I had something on that order spur me on. I play tennis and another woman told me - "Dianne, my son gave me this skirt and i took the tags off before i tried it on, so i can't return it It just falls…
