I am also in my 40s, I am an Early Childhood Educator and have also been on MFP on and off for many years. MFP has helped me a lot in the past. However, I lost my groove and gained back everything I lost and more. :( I'm back again, back in a groove, walking, trying to jog and trying to eat less crap. Trying to take back…

I'm reading this post through and actually laughing! Thankyou for sharing your stories, I'm so glad it's not just me! Guess I'll have to pick up some of those poise pads next time I'm out and about. You girls are awesome!

Great mindset! Way to go!! Glad you were able to say what many people want to! And for that...we thankyou! :)

"MY health is My responsiblity" ~ no one can do it for me, I have to help myself! I always seem to hear Dolvett's voice in my head ~ "Hardwork-Determination"

bumping for another day! Looks good! Thanks

Well...I did it! I had a loss this week! Apx 2lb loss and my weigh in day is the very same day of that wonderful time of the month! So I'm hoping for more loss next week. For the up-coming week my goals are: ~ to drink 8c of water a day ~ to run at least 20 min on the treadmill every day ~ give my yoga dvd a chance

Thankyou for your kind words. I'm pushing forward. I've up my running time on treadmill and I'm desperately trying to stay within my calorie allowance and yes, I'm eating my exercise calories. We'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks. If I continure to stay the same I may have to stop eating those exercise…

Welcome! Good luck on your journey. Hard work and determination will get you through!!

Thanks guys. I appreciate the kind words of advice. I may mention it to my doctor the next time i go in. I really don't want a bladder suspension though:noway:

Welcome! I hope you like it here! I find this website easy and straight forward and it has helped to acheive weight loss. Good luck to you!

Thankyou for posting this recipe! I think I might make these on Sunday and have them ready to go for the week. Maybe my hubby will even eat them and then I won't have to clean up his dishes after he makes his egg breakfast every morning! I hate cleaning pots and pans!!

Welcome! MFP is a great place to keep track of your food portions and help you on your way to your new healthier you! Congratulations on quitting smoking! 4 weeks!!! Your doing awesome!!!!

Ok....so a little (a lot) disappointed with my weigh in this morning. :( I was down at least 2 pounds on Wed morning but today, my actual weigh in day, I was only down .4 pounds. It's really bothering me. I'm not sure what happen between now and then. I know there has been some progress, because my clothes are fitting so…

Thankyou sooo much for sharing! Very inspiring! Be proud, your doing amazing things!

I like to make my goals on Monday, to make it through the work weekand start off fresh. My weigh in day is Friday though. You can pick whatever day you want. I like to write it down, and thought that if I wrote it down on the boards I might be more apt to follow through. A little support always helps. :smile: I weigh…

So far, so good. It's been a great week. I've upped my water intake, slightly, had no wine this week and I've been on the treadmill everyday! I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. I think setting goals is good for me. I slipped a little and had a cookie and a rice krispie square that put me over my calories last…

Hi there! Welcome!!!

Hi! I've with MFP off and on for a few years now. It's a good plan and easy to use. The motivation comes from within. My mantra lately is, "MY health is MY responsiblity." No one can make you eat right or exercise, that has to come from you. That said, the more motivating friends you have in your life and here on MFP, the…

Wow! You doing fantastic! Welcome.

Really??? It got better? How? What did you do? I was thinking about buy some pads. I really want to do 30d Shred, but all those jumping jack and rope skipping oh my!!!!

Thankyou for sharing your inspiring story! You look fantastic!

You could be on to something. I know I need to drink more water, but that's never been an easy thing for me. I do drink plain green tea all day at work. (No sugar, no milk, nothing) And I do drink some water while working out. I know I need more than 3 glasses a day, but ... baby steps. :)

Wow! Amazing!! You are an inspiration! Thanks for posting!

Hi! Welcome! I've just reconnected with MFP as well and I'm new to the group.

I'm glad to see this question and the responses. I too, love a glass of wine near the end of the night and was wondering if it affects my weight loss. I plan to not have any during week and save that wine for weekends. Even then, limit myself to one or two glasses. I'll let you know, if I see a difference in couple of…

You look fantastic!

Thankyou! I'm in Windsor Ontario
