Oh goodness! I'll try not to get intimidated by all of the awesome numbers out there! I'm going to go slow and steady and start at 30 miles for the month of October.

Adding to my topics so I won't miss October's:)

bumping because I loved it, but haven't had it in forever!

Thanks, y'all! I haven't cut out all of the bad stuff, but am trying to shift to a healthier diet. I don't think I"m drinking enough water, but will up my intake today and going forward.

Thank you!

Yes, it was caffeinated. I'm still drinking one or two cups of coffee per day, but I've cut WAY back on the soda. Oh, yes, I'm still eating too much fat. I"m trying to move it to "good" fats though. Good idea! Thank you:)

Good point. My body is probably like, "WTH are these blueberries, nuts, and spinach??!!!"

This is the key! LOL Grrr....

Feel free to add me! I'm planning to be here for awhile. I logged pretty regularly in the past, but life got in the way. I have seen what happens when I do that...weight gain!

I'm Alynda, 43, Texas. Getting back into life after a pretty rough year or so. I'd done really well with MFP in 2011-12, but life got in the way once I got to maintenance mode. My long term goal is to lose a bit over thirty pounds and consistently go to the gym, walk or run three to four times per week! Feel free to add.…

Hi y'all! Just found this group, so I'm not sure 20 by Christmas is reasonable, but I'll take what I can lose:) My name is Alynda. I"m a 43 year old wife, mother to three girls, and grandmother to the most adorable baby boy in the world. I was skinny fat the majority of my life, but the weight started sneaking its way onto…

I'm dusting of MFP and getting back on the wagon, so to speak. I'd welcome any new encouraging friends!

Look at those abs! I'm so impressed!!! I may take pics now...maybe.

I'm new to the group and on my third week of SL. I'm trying to think in terms of progress versus where I'm NOT. I've been below the minimal weight suggested this whole time, but am slowly making progress. My main goals by the end of June: Squats: Current: 30 pounds, Goal: 70+ Chest: Current: 25 pound bar, Goal: 50+…

My daughter likes to dip the following foods into ketchup: peas, strawberries, bread, well, just about anything... but she's only 3.5;-)

41 years old and 5'3.5". Started at 35% in January. Now I'm around 24%. That's with a 25 pound weight loss too.

My name is Alynda and I used to run cross country wayyyyyy back in high school. I dislocated my patella then just quit running altogether. I just assumed I'm never be able to run again. Fast forward to this year (cough cough 25ish years later) and I decided to lose the baby weight. I started walking then found C25K. I…

Running a Hobble Gobble 5K on November 17th in Richardson, Texas Trying to decide whether to run another 5k or try to train for a 10k next. I really want to improve my time on the 5k, though. Decisions, decisions:-) Last year's biggest decision was what show to watch and which snacks to eat:-)

Agreed. Foods that are easy to digest and won't further upset your stomach are usually the best. Hope you feel tons better soon!!

20-30% on women and 10-20% on men.

bump:-) YUM!

this!

As I understand it, BMR is just the base number of calories needed to sustain life. Have you checked out the TDEE calculator that tells you how much you should eat depending on how much exercise you do?

Woohoo! What a great NSV!! See what you've accomplished but didn't even realize??

Congrats! You should be sooooo very proud of yourself:-)

Congrats on your success!

i have my day set up by time frames (6-8 am, 8-11, etc.) since I'm more of a snacker than a meal eater. I tend to eat between 1700-2000 calories per day (depending on exercise), so I try to keep each time frame around 300-400 calories. Some are over and others under. It just depends on the day. Some times I'll have a big…

agreed!

I found this recipe on here a month or so ago and it was YUMMY! MOROCCAN Chicken and Lentils 1 8 oz package baby carrots 1 1/2 cups lentils, uncooked 1 1/2 pounds FROZEN chicken breast tenders 2 tablespoons minced garlic 3/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons salt-free Moroccan rub (or 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric, l/2 teaspoon…

Yay!!! I really needed to read your post this morning. I'm on day six of my "reboot" and I've been wavering whether to stay on it or decrease my calories again. I haven't been eating exactly at TDEE, but trying pretty hard to get there. I'm feeling a bit bloated (almost TOM...ugh!) and overly full these days. I know that's…
