Weighed in at 146 this morning. Lost 1.4 pounds. My biggest loss all at once so far and puts me only 1 pound away from my first milestone goal - to get to 145 and fall back into the "normal" bmi range. I don't know if increasing my calories slightly helped, but I certainly feel better and good thing too - since injuries…

This... If that photo is current, you actually look quite thin?

Morning gals! Maureli - don't get down on yourself ! I feel your pain. Truly. Keep at it and you'll get there ! Thanks for the advice regarding my stall and the tips on changing things up. I'm feeling somewhat better not having to reach that 1,200 goal but instead having bumped it up to 1,450. It's a lot easier to sustain…

Off for an afternoon and evening at the Old Port in Montreal with two of my kids. Plan is to maybe rent a quadricycle, enjoy the beautiful day, visit the Science Centre (we haven't been there since they were young!), grabe a bite, see the IMAX movie on Lemurs and then in the evening we will be going on the Montreal Ghost…

Hi Ladies! Just a quick wave hello ! I haven't really been keeping up with all the goings on with you all, though I have been keeping up with my logging and training ! I am happy to hear of all of your happy reunions, vacation plans and your day to day successes. Even the lower days and the boosts from everyone is…

p.s. I have to admit that I am finding this whole 1,200 calories given to me by MFP difficult and low, particularly on the days that I am not training and therefore don"t "earn back" calories. I am doubtful I could sustain this long term. There is SO much conflicting information on here about this! So, I have decided I am…

Hey ladies! I'm still here. Don't know what to say about my official weigh in...don't feel very encouraged. Last week I was 148. At one point this week I saw 147. This morning when I first got up I was 148.8. Since it's my day off, I went back to bed for a while. I get up a little while later and weigh myself and it's 147.…

and THIS !!!

:flowerforyou:

I know I am not "fat", however I also know that I have put 30 pounds on over the past 5 years and am not comfortable with that. However, there are not too many people I can actually talk to about that without the risk of the exact reaction of the OP, even though it is something that legitimately upsets me sometimes,…

Good job girls ! I'm at 148 this morning. MFP says I lost 1.6 pounds since my last weigh in... this is not really accurate.... I had entered at one time 148.4, but it had gone back to 150. So, in reality, I have lost 2 pounds since really getting serious. Funny though, I always for some reason weigh myself twice in a row.…

Good morning. Rainy Sunday here today.... a definite rest day today. That very long power walk yesterday did its usual number on my lower back and since I was actually doing twists and air punches along the way, I'm pretty sore all over...so will take it easy today and try to get some chores around the house done and maybe…

Hi everyone ! Just wanted to let you know I'm still here, though I unfortunately have not been very good at keeping up with your daily activities ! I have been checking in but I'm finding it a lot to keep track ! Sorry ! I'm still doing my logging and training and staying on track and really want to continue the weekly…

150.0. Feeling very discourage this morning. This was my starting weight 2 weeks ago. I know all about the fluctuations (I saw 148.8 earlier this week), but still disappointing. It's been a rough week emotionally for me and have been struggling with some things but I have been trying to put all my positive energy and focus…

Morning everyone! Just a very brief check in as I have some urgencies to take care of at the office before I can get to a proper response to all of you. I have to manage to find the best time of day to prepare this post in the a.m.! You all have so much great stuff going on and when it's not so great, are there lifting…

Good morning everyone ! Always inspiring to see all of your messages ! I wish I had time to properly answer everyone. Just a few brief things before focusing on work ! WIll have to push through the day as I went to bed waay to late (in part because I was writing my profile here - and also because my sister (who moved into…

Good afternoon everyone ! Just a quick entry for me as well so no indivudal nods, but, I do have to say you are all such great active ladies !!!! I am impressed and inspired! I'm not sure that I could do that running; it would probably be rough on my knees. I sometimes do power walks outdoors and have a hard time getting…

Good morning gals... I love how you all live such "normal" lives and doing your best in the midst of it ! Discouraging sometimes to read some of the people on MFP who live excluvisely for every bite of food and mile logged. While I am focusing on that, I am glad to know you girls are out there just doing the best you can…

Good morning everyone ! Another beautiful day here. Maureli - Fantastic job on your run !!! That is so great. (and yes, Montreal and its surrounding areas are beautiful. Many different festivals in the summer - a great place to visit ! :-). My son (who is 14) wants me to do the Spartan Race with him next year. I'm up for…

Morning ladies ! It is a beautiful sunny day here in my neck of the woods (St-Hubert (south shore of Montreal), Quebec, Canada...and I am off work today. Plan to take advantage of it with an afternoon at the local pool with a friend of mine who is also off. This means I have to be very discplined and get some exercise in…

Was at 149.6 this morning, which is down 0.4. Not much, but I am just happy to see something below the 150 mark. I hope I can keep it there ! Congrats to everyone and keep it up!

Just to add....I HAVE added another picture to my MFP profile, so you can get a better look at my smile. It is a recent selfie I took at the beginning of this month. I don't really like myself in picture these days - but - there it is ! :-) :-) (Ok, that may have been one of those "unkind to myself" comments, but.... I did…

Hey ! I'm up for participating in this too ! I am also one of those "weigh every day" (before I get in the shower each morning), but I will post here on Fridays! I just re-set my weight to what it was this morning (150) so I can start fresh (it has been at 150.4 and 150.6) earlier in the week. I know it can fluctuate a lot…

Good afternoon everyone ! Just quickly read today's posts. I wish I had time now to respond to each of your posts individually (and get all the names straight!)- but I have to say - you are all awesome!! I can definitely relate to the difficulty with the routine...and as well with the alcohol (well, wine :-). I totally…

Good morning Ladies. I haven't had time yet to read everyone's post and catch up on all of your stories, but thank you for welcoming me. I have caught the sad news about Lisa's dad passing; I am sorry to hear that. I know how painful it can be, and more so when the relationship was complicated this way. My deepest…

thank you!

Hi Ladies. Haven't had time to read everyone's introductions yet, but just presented myself. My name is Johanne and I am from St-Hubert (near Montreal), Quebec. I am 48 years old and have three children (14, 16 and 18 years old). I work full time and have 100% custody of my kids on my own. I have been practicing karate for…

Today I will re-start this whole thing...again. I don't want to post a long story here right now...this is my first post in the Group, since I just joined it. Honestly, I was struggling with the idea of having to log everything and feel like my life is revolving around all of this when I just want to eat smart, exercise…

If they are holding up the machine, you can certainly ask. Otherwise, live and let live I say.

I also had and used these books for both of my girls. There is a lot of useful information in both of them and I think it is a great starting point to give some of the basic information they might need, without over-informing. Now in high school, my kids come home with expressions *I" wasn't even familiar with !!
