When I vacation I allow myself to eat out but still make healthy choices most of the time. I do allow myself to cheat some just not binging every day.

Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I have been on MFP for a while but definitely not active. I am 45 years old and married. I need to drop at least 60 lbs. and am hoping to do a lot of biking. For now, I am on an old Schwinn bike as it is all I can afford. Other than the bike are there one or two key things that I should have to…

oh, I need this challenge. I don't remember what I did the first few days of the month but starting from yesterday Me: 1 LNS: 0

Just for Today I will: 1. Walk on the treadmill at work for 30 minutes 2. Drink more water 3. Track my food, ALL of my food!

Thanks! this time I think I am going to take it slow and add small amounts of exercise at a time.

Thank you <3

I will always have to count calories. I stopped recently for about a month and have gained 4 pounds back. I have just come to realize that unless I am counting the calories I have blinders on as to how much I am really eating. Today starts a new day for me and the beginning of the rest of my life. Happy Counting :smiley:

I have not seen any encouragement of this type of activity on MFP

competed wk 1 day 1 today. I must admit it was not as bad as I thought it would be :)

You will start to notice it. I just posted something similar last week but mine was about clothes sizes not changing. Funny thing is this morning I put on one of my shirts on and realized how much better I look in it now than i did before. Have patience.

I was just very curious. It is not a big deal that I haven't changed sizes yet just perplexed me. I wear my shirts very loose anyway because in my mind that hid the fat better (although, in truth it probably just made me look bigger!). I just cant do the tight shirts that make me look like a stuffed sausage.

My work decided to do a Biggest Loser contest and I saw a picture of myself and new I had to make a change. I mean really I can not believe I let myself get that bad!

5'5.5" I currently weigh 199.2 lbs and my goal is 150. At my best I was 120 but not sure that I would be able to maintain that weight now at my age.

I'm in :) my first goal is a little over 50 lbs but I know when I reach that I will want to go further. And I need motivation.
