I think you can modify that my changing what automatically feeds to your News feed page. Go to <Home>, then <Settings> and then to <Automatic News Feed Update Settings> and update accordingly.

Halved, broiled, with a dollop of goat cheese..... then drizzled with a little honey and balsamic vinegar. Very delicious!

Today was my day off and I battled half the day with myself - alternatively trying to convince myself to move my b*tt or to just “relaaax”. It went something like this…: “Get up and get going – it’s your day off and you have a lot to do!” - (“But it’s my day off and I love to sleep in!”) “Go do your morning walk –that will…

This is an interesting thread - and I've gotten a few ideas to try. My list usually looks like this: Seasonal fruit - e.g. blueberries and cantaloupe Apples Bananas Leafy Greens – e.g. Lettuce or baby spinach Tomatoes Cucumbers Asparagus, broccoli, or other seasonal veggie Limes and lemons Cilantro Onions and/or garlic…

ALL of This post!^^ but especially if they NEVER reply / comment on my postings. I don't need validation - but if I'm just a number on their friends list I have no interest in their activities. Be a friend to keep a friend!

^This. I follow this rule and find it helps me keep the numbers going in the right direction. No need to make everything a scientific experiment (IMHO). SOMETHING in this weight loss journey ought to be relatively easy.... Good luck! :drinker:

I bought a Nordictrack A2250 5 or 6 years ago and really like it. It was a mid-range model (on sale @ Sears) and it came with all the basic features plus the ability to program some custom workouts. Although I can’t say it’s had heavy use, (otherwise I wouldn’t be here :wink: ) it has had periodic, steady use, and I’ve had…

You should be excited! Fantastic job!!:bigsmile:

I agree with everyone as well, but just 2 more hints: I recommend you start to shop around at assisted living communities where your folks can both live together – now – whether they are ready or not. This is what my sisters and I did for my folks. When you find a good place it is clear – then put your name on the waiting…

...2 walks and it's only 9 a.m.! (in Oregon..:laugh: ) I'm impressed with your plan! I've already walked and planned my meals today as well. I even took my measurements and am happy to report 3" off my hips and 5" off my waist since March 20! Yay! I'm on a roll!! (no butter)
-
Wow - I'm impressed and clearly you've had great success so far. I wish I loved to exercise but that's been my challenge forever. I am doing pretty well tho' at walking lately and doing some free weights about 5x / week. I have many miles (and pounds) to go and I can tell this menopause thing has slowed down my progress -…

I agree with you.... and I have to chuckle - the 3rd anniversary of my Dad's passing was 2 days ago and he used to work for Nabisco..... Let me just say - I don't blame him for my weight issues over the years but he was a man who loved to eat and, dang, those "test" batches of cookies and crackers he would bring home were…

Thanks, this input helped! I've had about the same experience as you and have been feeling really tired lately.... (not cranky tho' :wink: ) I looked up my BMR and think I'll adjust accordingly.... Thanks!

What an amazing accomplishment in just one year.... I am cheering for you! Happy, happy, happy anniversary!! :happy:

Out of Africa – beautiful scenery, beautiful (but sad) story, beautiful actor…(heart spasm!!) .. and OK - Meryl Streep is good too!

Happy Birthday and congratulations! 3 lbs in 1 week is really a lot and no easy thing to do! It sounds like you’re doing all the right things and it’s clearly having results. Enjoy your day, your dinner and your holiday!! Cheers!

I really like my treadmill. (it’s not a manual tho’) Although walking outside is great I don’t always want to do that in the rainy Northwest. So, as those above me said, the key for me is great music! I often try to match my stride to the beat and I vary speed and intensity throughout my workout. If you slow it down a bit…

Good for you!! You planned it, managed it, and most importantly - enjoyed it! I'm impressed. Now it's my turn - going to my sister's for dinner tonight and she's a great cook! I've made a plan tho'....which means I'm outta here to go for my walk! :happy:

I am eating 1200-1500 cals (net) and am usually under my daily goal. This seems to be working for me now but I’ve just started and have a lot to lose. I found drinking a lot of water does help me and walking is better than lying around…. Good for you!!!!! Hope your shoulder is mending well… (ouch)

Just finished my workout for today and have managed to workout 5/6 days so far. Pretty good for me. Now off to see my 95 yr. old Mom for her workout! Hey, if she can do it I have no excuses!

Raul Malo - "Va Tu Veras" from his "Today" album..... brilliant!

I just joined MFP last month and am already a little addicted to signing in each day to see what’s up and “plan” my day. Now… if I could just get addicted to exercising (although I’m doing pretty well so far…. 18/24 days done!) Happy to chat with you all. :smile:
