Keep on rocking! I hope you feel better and are glad you did it!

Fantastic progress! Congratulations! B)

I love to have awesome shower gel for after my workouts. I can only use it if I have worked out. :) It has worked wonders for me. LOL. I know it is weird... but it's like a big thank you for working out...and it is more reinforcing than waiting for visible results can be. Also, if it is a food that I like and it is…

I eat rolled oats every morning since being on MFP. Have lost my weight while eating it. I usually put a high fiber fruit on it, like berries. I eat it with my egg whites. I think it is a very healthy breakfast, healthier certainly than what I was eating before. :) Keep on eating it. Be wary of the instant, though. It has…

Hi, What you describe was similar to what happened to me. If you need expertise about nutrition and working out, and how they balance each other, see a nutritionist/trainer. Let them set up a program with you. It is a bit of money to have a few consultations, but well worth it when you know that what you are doing is…

Great pics. :)

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! I hope today is finding you working on your goals and relaxing. Welcome to all the newbies. @Kelmomof3 - I do plan my lunches and dinners on Sunday. I also do any food prep that is possible to do ahead of time then. It has helped me tremendously. Stuff still comes up, and changes from the plan…

Happy Friday! I hope today is a fantastic day for all of you. @Marilyn...Your thought to take baby steps is a great one. One small change at a time, make it stick, then move on. Habits....habits...habits...it all comes back to that for me also. Keep on rocking your awesome self. @Walkersqueen...Congrats on your win against…

Happy Wednesday! What's on the forecast for tonight? More snow, naturally! Yikes. @Susan, thanks for the idea of a long trip. I would need to plan it out a bit...as I'd feel safer having towns to hit, places to be overnight...but it sounds like such an adventure. Thanks for planting a seed. :) @MKKnits - I hope tomorrow…

Nice work, @Goingstd! I'm overwhelmed by everyone's very detailed plans for the day/week. WOWZA! Keep on rocking!!

Happy Tuesday! Wow...how inspiring all of your successes are. There are so many of you with fantastic ideas, great action plans and follow through. I am humbled. @melifornia - A 200 mile gravel road race? Sounds fantastic. Where in the world do you live where there are 200 miles of gravel road? Maybe someday I'll be able…

Happy Tuesday! I hope today finds you motivated to work hard for yourself. You deserve the effort. :) @Ellen - It is so good to hear from you on there. Take care of you as you embark on your healing transformation. Know that your soul is important to this universe. You add light to all of our existences. Rest. Heal. And…

Happy Sunday! I hope all is well for all of you. I'm sorry I haven't touched base recently. I'm 9 pages behind...so probably won't be able to catch up...my apologies for that. Life has gotten busy...shoveling, and added goals. About the Feb challenge: I worked on my legs for 1 hour today with a friend. We got 4 different…

Lovely.

If you love biking, you should bike. Exercise that you will sustain over the long run is the one to choose. That being said, what makes biking tricky is that it is possible to do it without pushing your heart into a range that will be the most efficient with weight loss, if that is what you are going for. So, if you are…

Happy Wednesday! @Rozie - Thanks for your cheer. :) - @all - I hope your actions today helped you reach for the goals you have for yourself. Wednesday wishes - I wish for the strength of mind to continue this journey through reaching my goal right into keeping my weight off once I reach a healthier weight. One of the…

If you are losing, keep doing it, no matter what the math says...that's my motto. Keep on rocking! Great job.

Happy Tuesday @cblue - Congratulations....welcome to the century marker! Great work! @Ellen - thinking about you and sending you positive vibes.... I hope today brought good things to you. I weighed in today...lost a pound....will take it. :) Call it a win. Exercise has been consistent....still a bit too snacky. I need to…

Fantastic work! Keep on rocking!

Hi! I hope Monday finds you successful with your health goals. @Rozie so sorry for your loss. @Niki Thanks for reposting the daily post suggestions. I knew there was a suggested format, I couldn't remember what it was. RE: strength training...I'm trying to become independent with strength training by adding a day of…

Happy Sunday, I hope you all had a successful and restful weekend. I hope all the people who were ailing are feeling better now. @CBlue - Keep on rocking. Your attitude is inspiring. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about personal responsibility and power. Went to a 4 year old's birthday party (FUN). When do we lose the…

96-120

Happy Saturday..... @grandmakay‌: I'm rooting for you from NH. Keep making good decisions, even if they take a bit of extra effort. You are worth the trouble! @skinnyjeans - I can't believe how much I enjoy strength training...I'm certainly not the 'athletic' type..but it really makes me feel good, connected to my body and…

Happy Thursday, I hope today has been a great day for all of you. @Robin - Thinking of you. I miss you. Please take care of you. Take the time to do what you need to do. God bless, dear lady. No news...Keeping the course steady. Want to include a third strength training day...maybe this weekend will be day one. ;) Take…

Hi I'm in the middle of my work to lose, then onto another part of the journey...feel free to add me if you would like. Tips: Drink water. Lots and lots of water. Aim for 8 cups (no idea how that translates to ml) in the beginning, and then shoot for 12-16. Many people on here do that daily. I have found it to be extremely…

@Ellen, so sorry to hear about your health concerns. Of course, take the time you need. Prayers and good vibes being sent your way. @Niki, @loosaedna‌ and @scrubba Congratulations on your losses. @James Good job. I hope you enjoyed the apple. @Tom - I don't currently listen to the radio as a habit, but may start pushing…

Hi kids, Happy Monday, (that kind of seems like an oxymoron...but....we'll go with it.) I hope today was successful for all of you. @Hansea - Thanks for your advice about meal planning. Welcome to the newbies I caught: @CRS4daz, @jamesdjudson, @runninghouse, and @meglala! @Grandmakaye: Feel better soon. Falling takes a…

Congratulations! What an accomplishment. Very inspiring. :)

Hi again, I posted in the wrong page. Hi to all the newbies on this last page! Welcome aboard. Keep on rocking, everyone!

@marypoppins - sorry...pushed the wrong button....let's try again...I find that if I do have a low day one day, the next day, I am very hungry and have little energy to do what I need to do, exercise wise. It's to the point, now, where I feel like a really tall toddler...I have my lunch bag filled with various snacks, so…
