OMG! I am so pitiful! hahahaha, definitely got a good laugh on myself. And it was a good thing I was by myself. Hahaha. I did complete some of the challenge. Squats, yes. Jumping jacks, kinda, toward the end I was raising my arms but my legs were not cooperating. Push-ups, I did half. And my 20 second plank was more like a…

Hi Joan and others, I hope you don't mind me asking what some of these exercises are. Looking forward to learning something new. Thanks, Kathrine from Kansas

Hi, I have always wanted a fitbit. I can not afford one now, but looking forward to getting one in the near future as a reward to myself for following this Challenge. Hey, the reward system works for me, as long as it is not FOOD. I have a decent pedometer that i really like and will use it to record my steps. I walk 3- 4…

Hi, my name is Kathrine, and I am one week new to MFP. I am new to Message Boards and this is my very first time joining a Group. I am recently a widow, my husband passed away Jan. 14th., we were married for 36 years. Part of my "Journey" through this grief is to finally get healthy and strong. I have about 90 pounds to…

Hi to all you beautiful ladies, Just popping in after I worked on my food diary. i am learning this food diary logging every day, as I use it. A couple days last week, I would log all day then not click the entry at the end of the day. I did complete the entry the next day. And I think it counted toward my streak. I could…

Good Afternoon Beautiful Ladies, I thought I would read a bit and then go grocery shopping. Frankly, I hate to shop. I do make a meal plan for a few days, and I do make a shopping list. I feel better and in control of my eating when I make a meal plan. Kim in N Cal - meal planning is hard to do for me. My brain just seem…

Hello to all you beautiful ladies! I have spent half the afternoon catching up on all the post and now that my head is spinning, I couldn't even begin to respond to each and all. On that note, I will say something about the mother issues. My mother and step father were not nice to me growing up, into my young adulthood,…

Good Evening Beautiful Women! Thank you so much for the wonderful welcomes and the condolences. You all sure have made me feel more comfortable about being a part of this group. I would like to give a shout of welcome to all the other newbies, you have found an awesome group. Sylvia - hello to another Kansasan. Is that…

Okay, I have given it some thought and have decided on a few April goals and resolutions. I do not want to make the mistake of trying to "do it all" on this weight loss journey, all on the first day. I know that overwhelms me and sets me up for failure. So here goes; my April goals and resolution. * To keep my food diary…

Hello Ladies, I will share a part of a favorite quote by Maxine Kumin: " When Sleeping Beauty wakes up, she is almost fifty years old. ....." I always feel some inspiration from that. That it is never too late to take care of ourselves. I recently lost my husband of 36 years and dealing with changes and challenges daily. I…

Just getting started too. I have about 90 pounds to lose. It is comforting to see such a great response to you. We are not alone in this journey. Add me as a friend. And looking forward to meeting all of you.
