Gearing up for week 2! Tomorrow is my non-official weigh-in day, but I think I'm going to start weighing in daily again to keep on track. Last week was ROUGH both in terms of feeling well and motivation. I made it to the gym twice and walked nearly every day as part of my dog sitting gig, but not much else. I spent a lot…

So these are my totals for Feb: Inches lost: 3 Pounds lost: 7 Body fat %: -0.8% BMI: -2.2 I worked out a total of 1,462 minutes, which translates to a little over 24 hours! SW: 256.5 lb CW: 248.5 lb

@bluffgirl67 Your meal prep plan is definitely motivating me! I have to hit the grocery store tonight after dinner and am planning on prepping after work tomorrow.

@aliciap0116 You look gorgeous! @BrownSugar174 You are such an inspiration to me: confident and beautiful! @speyerj Thank you for always encouraging me :smile: @Aerohead21 I think we've all been burned out at some point! It always helps when I get to shake up my routine. Maybe a new healthy recipe or tweaking an old…

Helloooo! It's FINALLY March! Bring on spring! My final Feb weigh-in is oddly tomorrow at work, but I did weigh myself at the end of last week and maintained 251 (started at 255.5 at the beginning of the month). I'm a bit "meh" on that front, but I have been lifting weights 5/7 days a week and I'm going to attribute a lot…

@lbostic89 Such a great mindset! I can relate to aching feet and legs at the end of the day, but compression socks (20-30 mmHg) worked wonders! Now my only hard day is Wednesday when I'm on my feet in a tiny area for a full day of surgery cases :/ @kali31337 Congratulations on ONEderland!!! You're such an inspiration! I'll…

Me too!

Kindness and nice legs. Every damn time.

@Bella_Figura Yes! Welcome!! @bluffgirl67 Thank you! I'm definitely getting started on it!

Last week's goals: Drink more water: It just didn't happen. I'm still at about 4-5 cups a day. Gym 5/7 days: 4/7 Food logging: 7/7 This week's goals: Same as last week. Increase my water intake to 6 cups a day (baby steps) Gym: 5/7 Food logging 7/7 2/1: 255.5 2/7: 253 2/14: 251 As an aside, I've been contemplating starting…

Hello everyone! New to the group, will be 50 this year. Back on the fitness wagon and feeling great!

You've got this!

@bidingmytime I find that if I'm not logging things before I eat them, I eat mindlessly (same with not planning my food for the day, which I didn't do today and resulted in my waiting way too long to eat so, of course, I went through a drive thru. :/ I blew my sodium intake for the day but determined to make tomorrow a…

Glad to have you here! (I'm new, too!)

It's the start of another week! We've got this!

I have Spotify, but it keep suggesting songs I don't like :/ I have playlists, but it seems like I keep playing the same things over and over.

What songs keep you going at the gym/running/cardio? I need some new stuff and I live in the boonies (the only thing on the radio is whatever the current top 10 is on a loop mixed with ooooold crappy 90s songs. Or country). Help a woman out! :) 1/31: 255.5 2/6: 253 2/14: 2/21: 2/28:

There's a sign at my gym that says, "You're here! You already did the hardest part!" I like it a whole lot.

Good morning everyone! Let's kick today's butt!

@speyerj You've got this! Way to go! @Savannah80 Injuries suck! Can you work with a sports medicine practitioner or physical therapist to help with the tendinitis during your training?

@bluffgirl67 I hope everything goes well with surgery.

@torihudson6 Thanks so much!

@speyerj Thanks so much! And way to go!

Restarted MFP and am completely excited to find this group! Work just started a fitness challenge that'll span the next 3 months with some pretty major incentives. I just joined a new local gym prior to them rolling out the challenge, so now I'm just really excited but nervous about keeping the momentum going. NOW: I'm…

Add a couple expletives in there, and you've got it right!

"I got there first."

My first 45 was My Sharona by the Knack... my first full-fledged album (with my own money) was Michael Jackson's Off the Wall.

I also make my own oatmeal mixes for me and the kids, and if you make them all at once, it'll cost about $25... but you'll have a couple months of oatmeal if you have 4 people that eat it nearly every morning. Some of the ingredients are specialty items that I do save up for (namely, freeze-dried apples and PB2 powdered…

In the US, hormones are not allowed in raising or finishing poultry or pork. Beef is a different story. I'm going to second someone else's suggestion to buy frozen fruit and veg; they retain many more nutrients than their canned counterpart. Lastly, I'm going to advise that you plan. I live in the boonies and have a very…
