hi there. i'm 47 years old. and always seem to have that extra 15 pounds that I would love to get rid of. It would be great to find some friends to hold each other accountable. I have a fit bit and I love to get out and walk when I can.

Just turned 46 in December. I was doing well till I fell off the wagon in October. I started back logging 2 weeks ago and want to get back into cleaner eating and exercising on a more regular basis.

:flowerforyou: hi :)

My "red pants" are my skinny jeans that don't make me look like a stuffed sausage. I intend to keep it that way. I am currently maintaining my weight after losing 15 pounds over the summer. With the change of weather I feel I am being drawn to comfort foods such as carbs and chocolate.

Amen to that:)

Lately I have been into eating cranberry almond Kind bars.

Count me in I'm a glutton for punishment. I just received ripped the other day

Not much of a beer drinker anymore. Too many carbs and calories. McMenamins has several pubs in the pox area. If you are willing to go to the beach rogue in Newport has their brewery and distillery on the premises. Rogue has a pub in Portland also.

Hi, 45 years old, female Started 6/11/13 at 150 pounds Goal weight 8/5/13 at 135 (yay:) Started MFP in June when I realized I could barely fit into my pants except for my fat clothes. Buying a wardrobe the next size up would be admitting defeat. I was also starting to get the dreaded muffin top which got me thinking I…

Wine is my downfall sometimes. I live on the west coast with all these wonderful wines to drink. It is easy to have a half bottle which is at least 300 calories. I have made it fit into my calorie budget by exercising more and making thoughtful choices with the other things I was eating. I will admit Sometimes it is hard…

Hi, just signed up with the group this morning. Before I joined mfp in June I was 14 pounds heavier wondering why I was heavier than I wanted to be. After logging in my calories consumed I figured that I couldn't pig out on takeout Chinese and cheatos and get the nutrition I needed. I then figured I needed to replace the…

Let me ask you this. Who are you losing the weight for? If it is for yourself then as long as you are putting in the effort and noticing the results then that is all that matters. If you are doing it to gain others approval you then you are in a world of disappointment. Just saying....

Hi there. 45 years old. Although I have a gym membership but sometimes I prefer to workout at home. Looking for some good ideas on toning and keeping each other on track. Ii have comcast ondemamd. Any recommendations?

Putting your well being close to the top of your priorities list. In other words take care of you! Otherwise you are not your best to anyone else in your life. Make sure you eat well, have some kind of exercise routine that YOU ENJOY and get the rest and relaxation that you need. I know easier said than done.

I am a pharmacist. We regullary work twelve hour shifts and try to squeeze in some time to eat since I don't have a set lunch break. I used to live on snickers cocacola and chips to keep my energy up while working only to crash and burn upon coming home. I now pack a turkey sandwich hummus veggies and grapes. I find it…

When I buy clothes I don't think about whether something is age appropriate or not. I look for something that is comfortable and flattering to my figure. One of my best friends is over 50 and rocks out stuff she buys from forever 21 (needless to say she's skinny as a twig ). My advice is to find clothing that flatters the…

LMFAO. This thread is keeping me from my workout. Better head to the gym. Good thing I put on my deodorant, have on clean clothes and I'll bring my iPod so I don't have to hear the meatheads grunt

I thought it was like marking his territory

Why?

My pet peeve is working out next to someone who doesn't use basic hygiene. I know we go in the gym to sweat but please at least use some deodorant and not wear clothes that haven't been washed in the past week. YUK

Clean eating to me is about having food that is both nutritrious and delicicious. I try to buy organic and local when I can especially chicken, eggs, and the dirty dozen veggies. I noticed that organic products taste better. Clean eating also is eating in moderation and enjoying the things you eat. I normally will start…

thanks for the input. i used to do a Group power class at the gym and loved it but the gym fees were expensive and it was nearly impossible to make it to class on a regular basis. I was kind of hoping wii would be a good alternative. I find going to the gym doing weights is boring and i lose focus

Breaking bad is probably the best show put on tv. Always keeps me on the edge of my seat. Do you think Hank will think his brother in law is Heisenberg and if so will he report him?

Most days I log in I am normally over my budget in fat. I lost ten pounds in the month I've been doing mfp so i must be doing something right. I try to focus on eating fruits and veggies for fiber and try to eat mostly healthy fats lfrom nuts and olive oil. I also. try to have some kind of protein whether it be from yogurt…

COFFEE!!!

Greater Portland Oregon area:)
