Hi all. I just finished reading May posts. Time to skip to July. NJ Linda

Hello Ladies ☺. I've missed 1000 posts from Jan and all of Feb. I hope all is well for everyone. I hope to be back (lurking) and eating healthier now that the initial "tax season" rush is over. I jumped on the junk food train even before it got real busy and my trousers are hollering about it. Happy March to all. LINDA NJ

Hello Ladies, I followed my daughters onto MFP, and have been here, and reading this thread about 3 yrs. I learned why I went up 2 trouser sizes in as many years, when I started logging here. I aimed for a 20lb loss, lost 30, regained 10, lost 4. This thread is one of my favorites. I love to see the support offered when…

Hello ladies, I'm back to reading posts after a busy tax season. Ive missed staying current and sorry that i had to skip most of Aprils posts to catch up. Good news, I didn't miss any days logging my food. Bad news, I have barely worked out and put a few pounds back on.kust enough to make everything a little too snug. 2Yr…

Michele NC we have a used HD TV hooked up to the playstation 3. and our internet is through our cable. So we just openYou Tube through the PlayStation and pick whichever video fits. I especially like Varzash with Tanory for cardio. During dumbbell workouts, one daughter picks Country Music videos which run on continuously.…

Michele in NC, I live near Atlantic City, was born in western NY, currently in last week of visit to Denver. Everyone, I'm glad to see all the support in this group. I started MFP 16 mos ago, picked the slowest rate to lose, to avoid the rebellion effect, and started using Youtube for zumba workouts. July 2015 i started…

Hello everyone. My January goal will be to recover from Holiday food and travel and drink more water. The thought of travelling home in too-tight jeans has prodded me to get back on that wagon, eat better and get off my duff. Took a 3 mi walk yesterday on a local trail and an hour walk around the hospital today while Dad…

Happy New Year's Eve wishes to everyone; Health, happines, prosperity and good strategies for healthy eating around holiday foods! NJ Linda

I love all of your points!. Especially that "you are already good enough". Thank you voicing this. We are living, vibrant creatures, experiencing all emotions before during AND after weight loss. I see so many peeps post that they were too ashamed of their bodies to take a before pic. Or, they frown in the before pic.…

I occassionally experience vertigo, but only if i miss taking daily Loratadine for allergy/rhinitis Happy Holidays to Everyone here. Im sorry im not good with names. Ive admired the pottery, laughed at the Outhouse pics, and the…

Hi EJ, I saw you post for help. . I'll never get paid as a motivational speaker, lol. My mantra is "just do it" But what really motivates me is that using MFP really worked beyond my expectations. I feel like a pre-teen, discovering exciting changes in my body and showing off my mini-muscles to my family. Every morning and…

Here are a few ideas. Google "Forward Head Posture" to check out exercises posted by chiropractor. Have a doorway or some empty wall space available. Strengthen glutes, core , shoulders and back. Bridges and Bird Dogs (done on floor) help. Practice good posture everywear, shoulders back, chest high. Use a lumbar support…

Any recommendations on scale? Mine drives me nuts...it keeps fluctuating and if step on it 3 times I get 3 different numbers. Kimses in MA [/quote] Try changing the battery if it is electronic.

Regina are you getting good nutrition and enough protein? As we age, we don't absorb our nutrients as well, leaving our bodies still hungry. Sweets can also wreak havoc on blood sugar levels. Cooking or using a blender can make vegetables easier to digest. Staying hydrated plus balancing carbs, protein and fat (macros)…

Looking great! Are those muscles too? I lost similar weight and clothing size, started Beginner weight lifting challenge in July. Now i show off my mini-muscles to my kids and DH.

Thank you for posting the sequence. Fantastic!
