This is a great place to find motivation!

I personally would keep logging food and exercise and keep it private. You can read and you know when you are over on sodium, etc. The suggestions of oatmeal and roasting whole chickens were great suggestions!

Looking forward to being part of this group! Thanks for the invite!

I'm from WV.... No, one on my legs isn't shorter from standing on the side of the hills.....I do have my own teeth.....I never dated a family member!!

I have mostly female friends but do have a few guy friends. I think that all of my friends are trying to be their best, regardless of gender.

I found it too time consuming to look at my friend's diaries, so I closed mine so they would not feel that they had to comment on it! It was actually pretty boring anyway, cause I tend to eat the same things for breakfast and lunch most days! I also know if I have eaten too many carbs or have had too much sodium, so I…

My daughter's doctor suggested acupuncture and her insurance will no approve. She asked them if they would consider approval if her doctor wrote a letter of medical necessity and they told her not to even waste his time, because the answer is NO.

Thankfully, I don't have them but my daughter, who is almost 28, has had them since she was 3 years old... Unfortunately, nothing helps her much... She has tried multiple medications and her doctor suggested acupuncture, but her health insurance will not approve it. She does not seem to have food triggers but lack of sleep…

Michelob Ultra and pretzels. It's Friday!

I have friends of all ages here and welcome new friends, so feel free to add me!

Ross usually has lots of different brands to try and and they are so inexpensive. I got a great deal on Lucky Brand jeans there!

1.It was beautiful and I got to walk outside today. 2. I had carrot cake for my birthday! 3. The muscle strain that occurred from leg presses at the gym on Sunday is getting better!

Happy Birthday Virginia, hope it was a great day for you! Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I am still taking Advil for my muscle strain and I walked today at lunch. It was beautiful in PA today. Have a wonderful Thursday. The weekend is almost here! Debbie

Hi ladies, My whine for the day is that I have a pulled muscle in my inguinal area. I was so uncomfortable last night that I didn't get much sleep. I am icing and taking Advil but am so bummed out that this happened. I think that a leg press machine at the gym was the culprit. Hopefully it will resolve quickly. I have…

Now that I know the exercises, I turn down the sound and put on music!!!

Hello everyone, I was mia from this thread in February but hope to do better at staying caught up this month! I have been going to the gym with my hubby and he is helping me on working out on some of the machines. I am so darned flabby and just doing the elliptical or treadmill won't fix that! I have gained a few pounds…

I went last summer, had lots of treats and ate pretty much what I wanted. I walked so much that I didn't gain any weight!!! I decided that I was not going to ruin my vacation by obsessing over food!

I have the same issue!!! I wanted to wear a sleeveless dress the other night and was too ashamed of my arms to wear it!!

I did meet my goal and got permanent eye makeup for my reward! I love it!!

On vaacation in Myrtle Beach, SC... :love:

Hello everyone, Congratulations on the beautiful grandchildren. My daughter texted me to say that my grandson started crawling, popped out two new teeth and is pulling up on the furniture, all since I was there last weekend! I agree about the insane price of groceries. Healthy eating is not cheap!! I went off of…

I stuck to 1200 most of the time until I lost the amt of weight that I needed to lose (that took from March-Nov) That being said, I always ate my exercise calories back. Eating protein like almonds, greek yogurt, etc, helped to keep me from feeling so hungry. Good luck!

Every day is a new beginning.

Congratulations on your new grandchild Susan! Hubby and I had 2 nights of dinner out with dessert so I went to the gym today and burned 550 calories, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the number of calories that I acutally ate! I have to say that I enjoyed every bite! I have added back the 2 pounds that I haven't…

I was away, visiting my daugher and her family for a few days, so I am way behind on reading the posts! My grandson is 8 and a half months old and a joy to spend time with! Food and exercise were not on my radar for those days, but I am back at it again. Hope that you all have a great Wednesday! Debbie

Happy Birthday Pam!:flowerforyou:

Hello everyone! I tried to read a lot of the posts to get to know something about you. My head is spinning a bit at the moment! So, a little about me... I signed up for MFP in March after seeing it mentioned in a women's magazine! I met my goal weight but added 5 pounds back over the holidays! I did not change my ticker to…

Tried to post a reply and my internet connection kicked! Acupuncture sometimes helps with headaches, might be worth a try

Can someone give me a quick version of how this works? 54 yr old here, would love to participate!
