bump- strength training on my to do list!

awesome job!! congrats!

I put it under the band of my sports bra although sometimes it slips below it instead. I have never had a problem....but mine is only a couple of months old.

I only weight about every 2 weeks or so. I get too crazy watching the fluctuations if I weight too often. I pretty much only weigh if I have been good for 4-5 days in a row with plenty of exercise.

Trish- happy to meet you all!

Just turned 50 Sunday (wahhhhhhhhh) was trying to losr 30 lbs before that happened but only got to 19. I log most every day and will encourage. Feel free to add me (anyone on this thead) Trish

Was this your job while gaining the weight you are trying to lose? If so then I think it is best not to try to count it. I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. Sometimes on my feet and running around a lot of it. But I have done this for many years and still managed to gain all the weight I am currently working to lose. I…

Log every day, open diary. Exercise 5-6 days a week. I always encourage. feel free to add me

I purchased a polar a few months ago. One thing I found out was the app I was using (endomondo) was way over estimating my calorie burn when walking or cycling. MFP also was giving me more calories for the same workout then I was actually burning. Wearing a HRM has made me realize it takes an hour of solid cardio moderate…

I have used cycling as my main form of exercise since joining MFP in Jan. I ride a heavy hybrid and am looking at buying my first expensive road bike (gulp) So hard to know what to pick! enjoy your rides!!

Oh I can still answer this "40 something" topic for 14 more days :O) 49 y/o have been active on MFP since Jan. Have lost 17lbs and looking to lose about 20 more. I log everyday and will encourage others. add me if you need support Trish

I'm 5ft 51/2 and the goal weight I set was 160. I didn't want to set it lower as I want to be able to hit goal and then I will decide whether to keep going. Getting to and staying in the 150's just seemed impossible so 160 sounded good!

great job!! well said! this journey is so many different things everyone on it. congrats!

congrats to you! and glad they were able to fix you up!

great accomplishment!! keep up the good work and we will be seeing you goal weight photos before you know it! congrats :o)

"I also have a hard time listening to weight loss advice from someone who weighs 110 lbs and has never been fat a day in her life. Most of them don't get it. I left one doctor who suddenly got really rude about it on one visit and spoke to me in a highly inappropriate way when the scale showed I gained a few pounds since…

i totally do this. usually after I take my Ambien to go to sleep and it is not working all the way it makes me what to go eat bad for me junk!! right now this is happening I'm on ambien and thinking about what is downstairs..... go to be don't eat!!!

awesome pics!! you look fab in your black dress and if you never lose another pound you will be fine! Congrats!!

vodka!

Great job!! you look fantastic dressed up to go out! No way I would have guessed you weigh 202...lucky you to be so tall to carry it well :o)

The scale is such an evil creature!! I try to only weigh every 10-14 days...and only if I know I've been really good with my food and exercise for at least 4 days in a row. I get so discouraged if I have gained. I'm kinda overdue to weigh again right now but had a bad girl weekend with food and alcohol so think I will wait…

awesome transformation! How cool to have made a video to your future self!! congrats :o)

awesome job!! and such a plus you will be a wonderful role model for your kids!

Add me. I will hit the big 5-0 July 14th and that was what motivated me to come join MFP. would really like to lose 15 or even 20 before then!

Feel free to add me (any all on this thread) I will be 50 in July and am trying to lose 20lbs before then. Need to lose about 35total and it has been real slow going for me! I think the support of others on here is great! Trish

Congrats!! all your hard work will make you look and feel beautiful on your wedding day!

Hi all, This looks like a great group! My name is Trish, I joined MFP recently because I am trying to lose weight before my 50th birthday in July. I am sick of the 30 extra pounds...it has to go!! I am a mother to 3 children who are all out of the house at college. I am a Pediatric RN and have worked 12hr nights for 27…
