I'm choosing to not report them, but it was just so weird to have my heart rate stay so high.

Welcome! People here are very supportive and a wealth of information. You can do it, just remember, it's babysteps. Mary

I work with a trainer and he said you'd be surprised that many of the guys working on the intimating part of the gym don't know what they're doing. We change my routine up almost every workout to strengthen all the muscle groups. Do you work with resistance bands? I bought one for my husband as he refuses to go to the gym…

I never updated this post, but we went into the store where we purchased the bracelet. They felt really bad and gave us 70% off a new one. My husband bought it for me and this time I made sure the catch worked correctly. I'm not afraid to wear it either. I still will occasionally glance thru items or the strees looking for…

Some fitness advice from "WebMD" I thought might be helpful. "Any little increment of physical activity is going to be a great boost to weight loss and feeling better," says Rita Redberg, MSc, chairwoman of the American Heart Association's Scientific Advisory Board for the Choose to Move program. Your exercise options are…

I have felt my bipolar depression getting worse and worse the last couple weeks. I make up excuses not to go to the gym and spent last week in Vegas, lots of sunshine, walking, and still felt the depression deepening. This week I've forced myself to get on the treadmill and it does help. However, yesterday was my therapy…

Yesterday and today have been really good days. I got on the scale this morning and found I had lost 3lbs. That made me feel so much better. I found a leftover piece of Godiva chocolate in my purse and pitched it. I even took my daughter to Panera's today to pick up lunch. I got tomato soup which comes with bread, which is…

I also take a lot of medications for mental health issues. I was on Lithium 2 years ago for 6 months. Gained 15lbs and had intolerable side effects. Got a new pdoc who said it was unacceptable and switched me to Risperadal. I'm 62 so also have that going against me. If I workout and watch what I eat I can lose weight, but…

I've also lost jewelry before and somehow they usually turn up. I had my mom's 1 caret (each) diamond errings she left each of my newphews after she died. Since they were too young I had them and wore them on occasion. I lost one and it turned up months later in our dryer vent. That scared me so I made sure to send the…

What an inspirational story It's so worth the hard work. I started my journey in May of 2011 and lost 35lbs for my daughter's wedding. I gained 10 back over Christmas, but am now remotivated to get back on track. Thanks for posting - I needed that. Mary

I'm in again although November sucked for me, I was actually at 151.x for a few days the past 1 1/2 weeks. That felt good. I feel like I'm at a crossroads of either giving up or digging deep inside and get back on track. Dec. is going to be a really hard month. I just started some new medications. Some I take with food,…

Hi everyone. I hope you have room for one more person here. My name's Mary. I'm 61, married 40 years and have 3 adults daughters and 5 grandkids. I put on a ton of weight because of medication and my eating habits. I joined MFP around June 2011. So far have lost 34lbs, but haven't really lost any weight in many many…

Since I already responded to the October thread I'm hoping I'm in again.

I definately want in. I lost 3lbs in October, but feel really motivated now so hoping for a bigger loss. I's like to lose 12 lbs by my birthday December 13th. My fitness trainer told me yesterday to only weigh myself once a week as it messes with your head seeing my weight fluctuate so much during the week. But if I just…

I copies and pasted your spreadsheet link and can't get the spreadsheet or anything to come up. What am I doing wrong? Mary
