  • @quiltingjaine So sorry Fluffy can't voluntarily extract herself from your grille! Sounds like those comments are wearing and she may need to be gently ushered out of your biz. IMO this is not about any specific WOE but just a response to the fact that you HAVE a way of eating, which is bringing you success in your goals,…

  • I agree with those above, you have enough time. AND YOU ARE INSPIRING! About treadmills, in my experience they are not all created equal. I did my second long runs for marathon training on treadmills at a club, 12-14 miles, and also tempo runs, and it was great. I have also seen "treadmills" at hotels and even at lifting…
  • Oh and I forgot to say... best info I ever got here is that weight loss is 80% kitchen, 20% exercise. My weight loss math backs this up. "It's hard to outrun your fork."
  • Been there done that! Issues with knees, and running is my favorite... super efficient way to burn calories, as well as an antidepressant. So, I lose that 20 pounds again, get my running mojo back, overcook my knee, lay off running, keep eating of course, gain weight. Rinse repeat for a few decades. This time, in…
  • Food's always been a way to comfort and soothe myself and make up for having to adult such a huge percentage of the time. Just how I am constructed I believe. Have lost the same 20 lbs over and over and over, now struggling to maintain and not regain.
  • ^^ so much this. Making a decision (over and over, if necessary) is actually an antidepressant, because it gives us agency. Check out this community thread on the power of Decision instead of "motivation": https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/818701/the-myth-of-motivation-and-what-you-need-instead/p1 And along…
  • Yep it's down, me too.
  • Thanks @peggym4640 - this is a GREAT post I had never encountered before and challenges me to continue to make that decision, every day. @Ayesha0624 I wish you the very best with your decision to move ahead and second ALL the great posts above that encourage you to make your changes in a sustainable way. It's helped me to…
  • Thank you so much for posting this update - I didn't see the dates when I started reading, so your update picture was a lovely shock. So much power here! Thanks for the inspiration!
  • second thumbs up on starting out paced and then passing all those huffin and puffin people in the last mile, when you're sure you have more in the tank :D it's a joy.
  • I am going to be sitting out this round again. Wish everyone the best! Just finding that my routines were drowning me and taking time to re-choose them from the ground up.
  • 5.5 between yesterday and today. 3.7 miles to barrow wight! At least it will be cool.
  • 61 here and have lost what I came here to lose, currently in maintenance and trying never to yoyo again. Age is just a number, and even though weight is "just a number" too, staying in a range that's healthy and feels good to me makes that age-number matter even less! Best of luck to you on your journey, there is lots of…

  • "Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith ^^^ SO MUCH THAT, because the following, posted earlier this morning before I logged yesterday evening, to be honest ... ... was a lie. I was about 400 cals over maintenance. Full disclosure ;)
  • "Our greatest glory is, not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith About me: 61, 5'7", in maintenance since March this year. Serial loser and regainer of 20 and determined not to slide back up this time. Round 49 report = Start = 126.4 * Ave = 127.4 * Min = 125.6 * Max = 129.2 < and that…

  • 2.1 miles yesterday. Left calf is cramping when I run so taking it easy, walk run walk. I get CAPTURED BY THE BARROW WIGHT in 9.2 miles... Something to look forward to ... :cold_sweat:
