  • I joined, but since I log every day I finished the challenge within days and now I twiddle my thumbs waiting for the next challenge. lol Since I already log my food it didn't motivate me, but I like getting the stickers when I do challenges. I just wish there were more to join. It seems like we used to have several going…

  • I tried Keto last spring, but fell off over the summer because I made a lot of excuses. Now I'm back, stronger than ever. I've done more research, prepped better, and have much more focus this time around. I'm only 8 days in (as of 8/16), and I feel really great. My diary is open to friends. Feel free to send me a friend…

  • Hi everyone! I started back on MFP May 9th when I started Keto. On the day I started, I was the heaviest I'd ever been, and I felt horrible both physically and mentally. 3-1/2 wees in and I'm still struggling to meet my macros, but I do feel better. The only weight I've lost is the 8lbs of water weight week one, but my…

  • @eimsy7 Yay! I just started Keto today. I hope I'm reporting back here in two weeks with results even half as good as yours!

  • Today is my first day of Keto. I've done two Whole 30s and ate Paleo for a while, but for the last 6 months or so I have been out of control. I need something strict to get me back on the weight loss wagon. This morning I weighed the heaviest I have ever been, so it is time to try SOMETHING! I am a member of a few Keto/Low…

  • I love cycling around the island on wii fit U. I have zumba for wii, but I get really frustrated that it isn't reading my movements correctly. I have a few other wii exercise games on my Amazon wish list. My wii has been put away for over a year, but I took it back out this morning, and have a goal to spend a minimum of 30…

  • This group seems to have fizzled. I will keep looking for an active wii fit group I guess.

  • Well, I came to this board to connect with other W30 people, but I almost changed my mind when I saw all the negative comments from people who have never tried a W30, who have not read "It Starts with Food", who have not read the scientific explanations behind W30, who don't understand that Whole30 is way more than a diet,…

  • I am starting my Whole30 tomorrow (August 4), and I've been getting pumped up and prepped for this for about 2 months now. I pretty much left MFP because Whole30 is not about tracking/counting. How are you Whole30 peeps using this site during your Whole30?

  • I'm 54, will be 55 in November. I have the same list of complaints as many of you: zero flexibility, joint aches and pains, menopausal, 3 herniated disks from doing absolutely nothing, fairly sedentary job (English teacher), and a lifetime of poor eating habits. I am trying to not use that list as excuses, but as signs…

  • Cindy-Thank you for the tip on the protein bars. I just did some more procrastinating spending an hour pinning healthy snacks! I also want to give a shout out for the Fitbit One :heart: :heart: :heart: . It is small and clips easily onto the center of your bra. It only needs to be charged once every 10-12 days. I love…

    in Lose 6 pounds in June Comment by vickikwhisler June 2014
  • Wow, I forget to check this thread for two days, and I have 7 pages to catch up on! You guys are busy posters. Is there an easier way to keep my goals showing at the bottom of my posts without having to find an old post and copy and paste them? Is there a way to edit your signature line like they have in Spark People? It…

  • Happy Wednesday, everyone! My second night on this thread, and I think I'm going to be very happy with this group. Pat from Ohio: When I saw the word "Meijer" in your post I had a pang of homesickness. I spent the first 49 years of my life in Michigan, and I was a true Meijer supporter. My kids even had their first jobs…

  • Tamara, I like that idea of choosing one area each month to focus on. We bought a new house in October, and there is still so much to do that I find myself jumping from one project to another, and nothing gets totally done. I'm going to "borrow" your idea and make June my Kitchen month (since I need to get all that…

  • Hi ladies, This is my first post on MFP. I was an active member of Spark People, but my daughter wanted me to join MFP with her so we could encourage each other. I am 54 and a high school English teacher in the Philadelphia suburbs. I have had a lifelong fight with weight loss, and 6 years ago I got a divorce, lost 48 lbs,…
