Usually I take one. If I forget, my body somehow reminds me by feeling slow and sluggish in my workouts. I still take a nice long walk on those days, though.

Coffee Cherries Vanilla greek yogurt

Plank app...love my plank app!!

Howdy from Texas, Y'all...

It probably depends on many factors- gym/home...I do both home and gym/studio workouts. Since I work from home, I need to be around quite a bit, which sometimes makes a gym visit hectic. For me, mixing it up has helped me come back from injury- and make things less boring. I run inside on treadmill on bad weather days,…

This is where I am now...last 6 lbs clinging-on for dear life. I've shaken them off before, but picked them back up over the holidays. Going the super slow route now, too- running/walking/gym/Pilates and zig-zagging my calories. I think we have to keep up the routine and wait longer for those results. Grrrr, I hate the…

Peeking in... sigh...in my 40s and need a butt kicking, y'all!

Howdy, y'all...47 here and injured my IT band last year in a half marathon- finished, but oh my, how I felt that one. Fighting to get back and run another event this spring. Did long physical therapy stint and now instead of just running, I do reformer Pilates and gym training to diversify. Boo to injuries! Yay for the…

^^^^ What kelbels1 said ^^^^ is it... mess up? fall down? pick yourself up, dust yourself-off and keep going. Being in our 40s ain't for sissies, y'all- But we can own every last bit of this decade with joy. Smile- it's Friday, y'all...

Peeking to wave howdy to the 40s people! One day at a time, y'all!

Back here to tweak my routine for new year... Can sooo relate. Add me to your cheering section :smile:

New month and ready to go...count me in, y'all!

Hi there, I'm back on MFP to re-tweak things and refocus as well. I need a kick in the butt, so add me for support! :smiley:

Hi y'all... looking for Garmin connections as well as motivation pals here. Username is Mama_C

Added you as well...

Howdy, y'all... 47, married w/2 kiddos. Back here on MFP to tweak my routine and train for another half marathon after last year's injury during a spring race. Had a lazy, indulgent holiday and am determined to whip things back into shape again. Looking to add friends, mileage and motivation! Feel free to add me : )

Back here after my holiday extravaganza of indulgence and lounge-fest. Need a horde of butt-kicking friends, so feel free to add me, y'all...

I've got a busted 'roid as well. Diagnosed in my mid thirties after my second child (now am 47) and struggled with symptoms and weight plateau as well (always seemed to be the same 10-15 lbs), despite all my workout and mindful eating, mixed with monster doses of levoxyl and cytomel. Finally in my 40's, I was put on Armour…

Happy Monday everyone! Cheering all of you on toward your goals!! A new day today ; )

Howdy Y'all...I'm 47 and need a new year kick in the butt. Just joined a gym for some extra cardio and am back here on MFP and Garmin Connect to tweak my routine. Don't have 40 to lose, but would love to join.

Hi, I'm 5' 5 and my CW is 129...Goal is 120-122, due to my smaller frame. Anything I pack on past 124 looks terrible on me. Right now I am doing Mark Lauren-You are your own gym and Body by you. I followed his program last yr and it did wonders and saw huge results in inches. But then I drifted in my workouts and eating…

Yay! I need this... GW: 122 SW: 131 CW: 129 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (4/01 Tue): 131 4/05 Sat: 129 4/12 Sat: 4/19 Sat: 4/26 Sat: End of Month (4/30 Wed): Total so far...2 lbs

Today is day 6 on level one. I added 30DS to running/walking and have felt muscles a bit firmer and my endurance better. In the mirror and on the scale?- not so much. Looking forward to getting out of my stuck spot. :) Also started zig-zagging my calories too.

bump...

bust 34, waist 26, hips 36 Sigh...a spoon. Working on the hips big time tho. According to my H- I'm a blob.

I wait 30min to 1hour after meds to eat anything. If I have coffee, I wait also. I stopped all soy products and lowered my carb/sugar intake and that helped me. Was on Levoxil for many years, until this past fall my doc switched me to armour. I love it. and can feel a difference. However, I feel that stress, age, carbs,…

a loooong time ago (in a land far away), I went to join a Gold's Gym in my college town. Newly married and so very poor, they had a payment plan called the "four-pay"- which was weird and awkward- but I was gonna have to pay in four installments. Soooo, this really in shape beefed up guy helped sign me up and asked how I…

I use 2 TBS brags apple cider vinegar/16 oz water and sip w/straw. Old granny had this as one of her tricks. Works for me, as I feel less cravings for sweet foods when I do this daily. Never had a problem w/it and feel it gives me a sense of well being.

I love the brand Yogi tea. I drink the Green Tea Energy for a super pick-me-up in my afternoons- unsweetened because I am counting those pesky sugar grams. Whole Foods has Yogi brand, as does Kroger.
