Hi everyone, What a physical weekend I had. Cleaned up my garden space and decided I needed it to be bigger :) . Hauled 9 bags of garden soil from the store to my car, my car to the backyard. Each bag was 2 cf. i googled it - turns out they are 40 lbs each. Today I set up the garden & filled it. I put down some weed block…

Good morning everyone and hello! Turned 61 in Jan. and have been fighting weight gain pretty much all my life. Some years more than others. I try to log daily, walk on my lunch hour - a good brisk pace for about 20 minutes, weather permitting. Joined a gym with hubby in Jan, but because of an injury have not gone in 2…

Bumping to keep this open. Thanks, all are the inspiration.

I'd like to join this group please.

Is this board still open for discussion?

Thanks to everyone for the quick responses. I guess deep down inside I knew the answers I would get, you all just verified it for me. Thanks again

Thanks everyone for your impute. I will be going everything everyone said.

Janejellyrole - thank you for looking. I have been using the scanning device on my phone app for MFP. It better be accurate , it is so much easier to use. I will defiantly take a closer look

sijomial -There's a very good chance your logging isn't accurate (cups, spoons, servings and suspiciously round numbers). I measure everything and pretty sure it's accurate. janejellyrole (some items that look suspicious to me) would that be the wine & martini's??

Need2Exerc1se - yes , sorry serving size sijomial LOL - my husband's nickname for me- I won't go into details. AND I've only lost 1 lb. in 4 weeks My point and I think the same point Janejellyroll made is that she may be eating all day to actually eat more than 1500 calories. ??? I only want to eat 1500 cal / day and today…

Need2Ecerc1se - portion sized

@annacole94 , I've opened my diary.

Thanks everyone. :)

OMG really, that much. I dont know how to process that information. I'll read this again later to night ( at work right now)

I do feel better, more energy, and tighter if that's possible and I should be happy with that. BUT I have always been a scale watcher and I need to break that habit. I DO NOT WANT TO BE A SIZE 16 for my daughters wedding, so I will continue with my program and hope for the best.

^^ Isn't it just maddening !

Alloutof_Bub According to the reports on MFP i have been eating between 1190 or so and 1500 calories since 1/23 Exercise I have been doing 500 - over 1000 calories burned . Kyladefranco - nope no loss. Vivomagee - I know right. when I was younger all I had to do was skipp one meal and I lose 10 lbs. LOL

Mahdi22, you and I could be twins. I also started 3 weeks ago.. Really have not been a fan of soda's and not so much for junk food. But i also work out 6 days a week. 4 strength training days plus elliptical AND walking 20 minutes on my lunch hour, 2 days is a brisk walk around the neighborhood 45 minutes. Starting weight…

Me too, me too. Id like to join.I'll be happy with 20 right now. My daughter is getting married June 3rd.

DancingMoosie Are you in a deficit? I don't know. I've been racking my brain trying to figure how many calories to eat. MFP says 1200, weight lifting /strength training sites say 1500-1600. So I don't know what to do??? Thanks everyone Sophie

I've read "Burn the Fat, Feed the muscle". and have done some online research on calorie intake for my age, height etc. etc. and i should stay at 1400 - 1600 so I hover around 1500.

How on earth were you able to lose 30 lbs since Dec? Please & thank you

Stacy - ? foam roller? like a noodle for the pool?

Glen Allen, Virginia

Thank you both for a response.

awesome congrats

Hi there, we have Wii Sports and I like it to get started . My opinion , tennis in the training section is mild, BUT yesterday I did the boxing game and burned 400 calories in 30 or so minutes. I was wearing a heart monitor so I know the numbers were acturate. Anything that makes you move is good though. Good luck Sophie

Yes , all set for my age, weight etc. I just deceided to take 1/2 of that as calories burned,

LOL Thanks for the vision of a crazed monkey Jeff made me smile
