I am sure going with the lowest weight would be acceptable. My scale doesn't depend on how i step on it or stand on it. I would like the "blame" the fluctuations in my weight on my scale.. but I can't unfortunately. What kind of scale do you have? How old is it? or is it new? is it on a flat hard surface or carpeting?…

Happy Mother's Day everyone! I joined this group a couple days ago... and am still working on reading everything to get to know all of you. I did well over the weekend... didn't go over my calorie goals and have burned off lots of calories. Mary thanks for welcoming me!! And for your words of encouragement. I hope to be…

Hello everyone, I've been on MFP off and on for a couple of years. Still struggling to lose the last 10lbs. I've been at a plateau for 2 years now and can't seem to break free of it. I've tried everything.... But here I am again.... My goal is to lose my last 10lbs by June 10( a little over a month). I could really use one…

Happy Friday everyone... I hope everyone has a great Easter. Zebras I'm a bit ticked off too... after all I have done this week I never lost either and it looks like I have !! Feel really good about all I have done today... went for a 5k run outside this morning... carried all the patio furniture up to the balcony from the…

what a day!!! Today was the birthday party for the residents at the nursing home.. not only had all the residents .. all 40 of them but also about 30 extras today with family members and the band that comes in to play for our birthday parties. Lots of people and lots of them to be served coffee, tea and birthday cake. Yes…

Hello Everyone... had a great day.. under my caloric goal for the day and completed my 50 minute circuit training workout this morning... as well as my husbands' challenge for the day for me which was to carry up 3 very full wheel barrels full of firewood up 2 flights of stairs and stack it on the hearth. Burns lots of…

Good Morning everyone. Found out this morning via a message from Singfree that I posted last night to the old thread and not this one. I am hoping that I can find the time to post and check in every day again.. things get a bit crazy around here this time of year. Did my 50 minute circuit training with aerobics this…

Seems we have all been lax in reporting in or doing challenges. I know I have. Lets start again. for Wednesday, March 24: do 30 - 45 minutes of 1 minute sprint/walk at an incline of 3. Check in here again tomorrow night to report in. Anyone going to join me?

Hello everyone. I haven't been here for about a week, things have been super hectic. I have been trying to stick to my diet and have succeeded for the most part. Exercise has been easy. My husband and I have been going for long (10K) bikes rides in the evenings. One night we walked 3.5miles, and I have been doing 1 minute…

First day on the weight bench today... thought my arms were going to fall off by the time I was done. Then it was exercise day for the residents at work so I had another workout...although it was nothing compared to what I do.. but a workout none the less. Tomorrow is cardio day again... treadmill again... but I am going…

Welcome to the newbies...honibun and homehealthy. this is the place for support!! glad you joined us. thanks for the words of encouragement everyone.. I press on.. the battle not won! this morning I did 5K on the treadmill!! YES!!! It felt good and I still feel energized (lunch time for me now) when I get home I will have…

Happy Anniversary to you Sing!!! Hope everyone is doing well.... I have been doing my workouts faithfully... although I admit there are times that I forgot to log my food all day long... I'd start and then by the end of the day I would not get back to it to get my food logged. check in this week was discouraging again...…

Hello everyone.... Angel here checking in. Yes I'm still alive and kicking!! I am still fighting this allergen overload... with the nyquil I've had to take just to sleep at night it has been a struggle to get up in the morning and do my workout... I admit it... I couldn't wake up enough yesterday to get out of bed early…

Alf I agree... if you are going to PR then enjoy those things that you cannot get at home.. but do so in moderation. If we deprive ourselves of things we like because we feel we can't have them it can lead to a binge. So enjoy but be sensible. I am sure you will be. Wish I could go someplace warm!!! Went to the Doc…

Hello everyone... Welcome Deb. Did a 25 minute upper body workout this morning..wanted to go for longer but found it hard to breath this morning with whatever it is I have. Going to the dr tomorrow... it is not good to have laryngitis when you work in elderly who are hearing impaired. My husband..bless him.. actually came…

Hello Everyone!! I'm back from snowy MN!! While I didn't get to do my usual workouts while there I did do lots of walking. Wednesday before my daughter left we went to the mall and walked about 1.5 hours. Thursday I once again went to the mall with my son, daughter in law and granddaughter. Carried my 18lb granddaughter…

At the hotel waiting to go swim a bit before heading for the airport for my flight to MN. My daughter says they have gotten about a foot of snow since Sunday, and the schools are closed again. That sounds so funny to me.. up here they NEVER close the schools because of snow... if the buses can't make it and the parents…

Did my 3 miles on the treadmill this morning.. .. I always feel so motivated and energized after my morning run! Hectic day at work coming up today... then leaving to Regina to spend the night before catching my plane out to MN Tuesday. Cold out here today... temperature is currently -30 with wind chill of -34. Well off to…

grimm.... hang in there!!! It will happen it just takes time. I too am only 5'3" when I started I was up to 175lbs... I'm now down to 139 and struggling to lose the last 9 to reach my goal. But it isn't always about what the scale says... It will take time to see the difference. I think it took me about 6 months before I…

Welcome MrPinto..... Stiring thanks for the words of encouragement. I am going to try to change up my routine a bit... and see if it works.. I am going to try to get in a couple of workouts while at my daughters... I will at least be trying to go for a walk everyday. My diet I can handle.... and maybe teach my grandkids…

Welcome to the newcomers. Glad to see you here. I am DISCOURAGED :cry: :cry: Check in this morning and I lost nothing... not even in measurements!!:cry: :cry: I have been running everyday for 40 minutes and I have been eating the same... but it doesn't seem to be working!! It is getting very discouraging. I don't know what…

DISCOURAGED!!!! That's me!!! No change when I checked in today.... no weight loss and no measurement changes. I've been doing at least 45 minutes of cardio every day!! My eating hasn't changed... Don't know what else to do.... anyone have any suggestions?

Good morning everyone. So sorry I never logged in for 3 days. Life seemed to take over... it has been a very busy and hectic work week so far. But I did get in my morning run every day... I would be lost with out it anymore. I am going to my daughters next week to babysit for her while she goes to a workshop in St. Cloud.…

Yeah count me in!! I want to lose 9 lbs by the middle of March... and the scale isn't budging even though I am running every day. I need to jump start somewhere... Angel

Check in day.... the scale didn't budge from last week. I lost 1/4 inch in my hips though. I will continue with my workouts. New blisters have appeared on my burn... really ugly. But I won't let it stop me. Did 3 miles at 5mph this morning in 38 minutes. For me that is good. Hope everyone is having a good week and has a…

I get the dressing changed tomorrow so will see if I can run again on Tuesday. been following my diet so I hope things go as well this week as last week. well that's all for now as it is really hard to type one handed. hope everyone had a…

Hello everyone...first of all I apologize for any typing errors..I am typing one handed, I received 1st and 2nd degree burns to my left hand yesterday so it is hard to do most things. Unfortunately that also includes exercising,,, when my body starts heating up thn so does my hand which then burns like crazy again.:sad: My…

I lost only 1lb but the good thing is that I lost 2.75inches!!!! I knew something was going on because some of my pants were feeling a bit loser than they were a week ago. I may not…

Good Morning everyone. I am beginning to think this is my favorite time of the day... after I have exercised, enjoying my breakfast smoothie and a cup of tea... catching up here... logging in and tracking my exercise and food. Stiring like you I hate to take days off.. I do feel more energized and ready for the day after I…
