Naked juice smoothies are good. There are several flavors. There are several alternatives in the juice isle. Some of them are fruit & vegetable mixed. Make sure to read the labels, because some of them include high fructose corn syrup. Good luck on your quest to get good nutrition. :)

It is ok to have a "blow it" meal once in a while. Sometimes even a "blow it" or "cheat" day once in a while. The important thing is the general trend. If you are eating a calorie deficit most of the time, you will continue to lose weight. My weight loss is very slow. Another thing to remember is that you want to create…

I used reins for both of my children. They liked to run off in different directions. I especially used reins when we were in dangerous areas like Yellowstone or Grand Canyon or Arches National Park. My son had ADHD. He was more than 2 and a half years older than his sister. He used the leash in crowded or dangerous places…

I understand your frustration of gaining. I have been at 1200 calories/day for months. At one time I was down to135. I went on vacation, which included two birthday parties, and came back at 145. I got down to 142 then came back up. It is not due to TOM because I am past menopause. I walk 5 or 6 mornings a week and eat…

I had my second and last child 36 years ago. She was born C-section. The pooch went down, but never went away. When I was 49 I had a hysterectomy (for health reasons). The flab got worse after that because I gained weight. I am now losing weight, but will have to live with the pooch. Not worth the risks of surgery. We are…

I have been using MFP for a few years. I would lose a little then gain it back over the holidays. Early in January at 160lbs. (I am 4'9" tall). I resolved to take the weight off and keep it off. I am still here at 144. In a challenge group and hope to be at 135 by Halloween. I plan to continue loosing to 120 and…

Hello early risers. I made it up at 5:30 this morning, out the door at 6:03. By the way, I am on vacation. Hiking the hills of Rapid City, South Dakota. At home , in Utah, I walk along a river and wetlands. I love getting up just before the sun and walking or hiking.

Good morning. I was up at 5:30 and out the door at 6 . Walking into the wind is not so easy, going downhill made it better. Retracing my steps going up hill with the wind at my back was harder. I love being outdoors watching the sun rise as I walk, hike, trek.:smile:

Good morning all. I made it up by 5:45 this morning and hiked cross country for 60 minutes. :smile: By the way, I will be 66 years old in less than a month. I plan on walking, trekking or hiking for at least 66 minutes a day by that time. :bigsmile: Thank you to whoever started this thread. Good health to you all!

Up at 5:15 this morning; it was raining. Went back to bed and did not get up again until 6:25. Got out at 6:50 and hiked for 63 minutes. It feels good and I find myself looking forward to getting out. I will try for earlier tomorrow.:smile:

I feel a little slothful. I get up at about 6 AM . I am a trekker( I use trekking poles that look like ski poles). I trek cross country for about an hour five or six days a week. I am vacationing in the black hills. It got warm early, so I am planning on rising at 5:30 tomorrow. Thank you for this thread, it will help…

Your grandmother was right: once I beat whipping cream too much with a hand mixer. I got butter and buttermilk. It tasted very good. I don't remember how much time it took. I like avocado as a spread, especially on sandwiches.

I am sick. Coughing, runny nose, aches and pains and chilled. I have no appetite. I wish there was something besides water here. If I can find some chicken soup, I will eat it. I was under my calorie goal yesterday and probably will not reach it today.

Definitely go for physical therapy. I just started physical therapy for my shoulder. I was tired of having narcotic pain killers thrown at it. Walking outdoors helps the emotional state. Good luck and success to you.:smile:

I play World of Warcraft (WoW) too! DING!

No money to buy them. I would be in serious trouble. I would eat till I got :sick:sick.

Thankfully, I don't have that problem anymore. I used to get verry bad cramps; to the point of being in bed for a day. Labor wasn't bad because I was used to bad cramps. Now I have arthritis and other simptoms of ageing. Working out with my daughter today helped relieve the hip pain. I really do know how you feel.

I prefer to get up in the morning to go walking. It is cooler and I can hear the birds. if I don't exerclise in the morning, I don't get to it. As I am retired I get up about 7AM.

I am 4'9". I weigh around 153. i am 64years old. My currant goal is 130. Just before I got pregnant with my first child I got up to 98 lbs. Just after my second child was born I weighed 113lbs. I would like to get that low again. It will take a lot of work. The most important thing I want is to be around for my…

Chocolate, avocado and sushi. Don't have the money to have much of any of them. All best taken in moderation.:smile:

Great job. I am 4'9". I need to work hard to look as good as you. Keep up the good work.

So many I can't remember them all. One very memorable road trip from Salt Lake City, Utah to Cody, Wyoming. We had four adults, three kids ages 7, 9 and 11 and all our camping gear packed into a Dodge Durango. Fortunatly we picked up another vehicle in Cody, before going to camp in Yellowstone National Park. :noway: :smile:
