I always have a cooler with me with a large ice pack that I take to work, shopping, or on long car trips to preserve snacks like: - 2 tablespoons of almonds or walnuts (not the typical 1/4 cup serving) - Small apple or banana with teaspoon of almond butter - 1 serving or less of 0% fat greek yogurt - 1 serving of 72% or…

In February of this year, I started having abnormal palpitations that were really frightening. I saw a cardiologist and did a stress eko. He said I have premature ventricular contractions that are harmless. He suggested kicking up the pace of my cardio like jogging instead of walking and losing weight will help.

Hi, Peggy. Good luck to you!

50 is around the corner for me and feel free to add me if you can use support and can give support. Good luck to you.

Hi, Angela - - you're in the right place. Welcome to MFP. I could use some encouragement also. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck to you!:smile:

Hi ryandylan - Welcome to MFP and good luck to you. You should feel really good about signing up because this is a great start! You sound like you have your hands full and up for the challenge.

Don't give up. That's what My Fitness Pal is for. Friend me if you use can use another.

Hi there - - I can see how this can be discouraging. Do you drink enough water? Are you watching your sugar intake in everything that you consume? Do you watch your carbohydrates? Are you weight training in addition to cardio and how high is the intensity of your cardio? Although I am not encouraging this, I once red this…

We should not be on our best behavior 100% of the time. It's ok to give in to enjoying ourselves and having fun and eating what we want. I have an 80/20 rule -- I eat what I should 80% of the time and I eat what I want 20% of the time which happens to be on the weekend. Now, when you having a weak moment (if you happen be…

Hi there and good luck to you! If you could use a little motivation, this is definitely the place to be.

Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake. "I'm bringing sexy back...." which is what I am trying to do

Are you in shape enough to amp up the intensity of your workouts? Are you lifting weights or doing weight bearing exercises like squats and pushups? Another thing you can try which has worked for me is significantly reducing my salt intake and sugar. I read labels carefully and omit foods from my diet that are touted as…

Good for you and good luck to you. We are never too young to reinvent ourselves....

Hi, there! Just a suggestion - - go the NYC Road Runners Club website. You might find they offer a walk or walk/run clinics for beginners held in Central Park. This might be a way to meet people. It worked for me when I lived in NYC (Queens in the house!). Enjoy.

Yeah it is....

MINT.COM as well

sparkpeople.com is kind of neat

I average 8-10 glasses a day depending upon my physical activity.

You bet!:happy:
