October Goals 1) go from an average of 7500 steps / day to 10000 steps / day 2) Lose 4# - try to solidly be below 205 .. not just occasionally dip there 3) free weights or gym 3 days per week. #2 is always the hard one - we live in a vacation area.. everyone who visits us is on holiday .... i'm very bad when wine is on the…

I should introduce myself - i'm pat, i'm closing in on 61, enjoy sailing - been retired for 2 years. I've been on MFP off/on for years. Lost 25# several yrs ago - then life happened and I clearly didn't have the habits to not put it all back on again. Spent my summer on the couch with a broken ankle ... Now I'm trying to…

Goal: Results: a) .. I'm averaging 7000 now - every 2 days I do about 7 miles. It's what my ankle seems to handle. I'm actually pleased with this b) Utter FAIL ... same weight as before. too much company. too much good food and wine. Guess I should be happy it didn't go up c) Weights? what weights? ( oh yeah... those on…

Mine logs automatically... and if it didn't, i think would log them in the earlier in the evening - so i could assess my calories. i find that i do look earlier in the late aft for decisions about dinner.

I linked mine. It freed me from having to record anything beyond my food intake. Fitbit knows how much I eat and MFP knows how much I've exercised. I also use Fitbit's idea of how many calories I have left .. It's more stringent that MFP and when I used it I was better with my intake

You do not need a constant internet connection. Actually your FB can be unconnected for a week to 10 days before it can't hold any more info. [ I believe at that point it starts popping off the old info but don't quote me on that ]. Both my husband and I use FB.. I have an ultra and he has a One. We love them. They really…

I've called this "slippage" and try to stay at around mfp 1000 per day - because I know it's there and I can't lose weight if I go over. When I mention this to people I get flamed for going into "starvation mode" which I know I'm not. We try to eat very balanced interesting meals try to weigh things and generally don't…

Do you have someone to watch little one in the AM? Does your unit have a decent AM PT? Are you going to PT?

I log it faithfully... and because I have logged it, I've discovered that, if I drink, regardless of whether I am within my calorie limit, I don't lose weight. It seems to change the way I metabolize other foods. :-( This doesn't mean I never have a glass of wine. I do limit the number of days in a week and the number of…

great job!

we buy a high quality chocolate bar... and eat 3 squares ( 1 row ) - slowly- every night for desert/snack. it's not a lot of bad calories. it's tasty - it feels like a reward for a day well done

people after my own heart :D

You are doing great! and I totally get it. My husband does all the cooking and he does a fabulous job. He has said that he is cooking light for years - but really not so much. Now he really is cooking light and it's much easier for me. Having said that - in the end - my weight was not because of his cooking style - it is…

I'm 58 .. I've been too heavy for 20+ years. I've lost and gained it all several times. I have lots of excuses ( I'm too busy to exercise, I'm too tired, I am not the cook in the house, I... ) I am now tired of all my "I" excuses and am looking to make some "I" changes. I can enjoy my husband's wonderful cooking without…
