Hey girls! Sorry I've been MIA, it's been a crazy couple of days! I biked 44 miles yesterday...a new record for me. Sometimes I feel like Forrest Gump when he's running (no beard for me yet, but I do have quite the mustache going :laugh: ). I was pretty tired on my way home, and I was riding against the wind which made it…

Yes the Polar F4 is waterproof (you can wear it in the pool). The only thing you can't do is push the buttons on the watch while you're underwater. I love my F4 and I wear the chest strap right below my bra, and forget it's even there.

After all the complaining about my husband...tonight he came home with a portable (it has wheels!) air conditioner for our bedroom!! Right now that baby is plugged in and set at 68 degrees! I guess this way, he can set the temperature for the central A/C at a tropical 76, but still keep me from killing him (sounds like a…

IPOM was started by Snooozie, and it stands for "I'm Proud of Me". If you look back in the posts, you can see her explanation, which is fabulous :)

Good afternoon ladies! Well, after getting my lazy *kitten* out of the house, I made it to the gym for my strength workout. I managed to slog my way through it, but I was just not in the mood today. IPOM for doing it anyway, though :smile: . Yesterday was a tad crazy for me...my bike ride with friend was not terribly…

Good morning all you early risers! Off for a bike ride with a friend (the ONLY reason I'm up so insanely early!) Thanks for the inspiration Snooozie! On my phone, so I can't look back at the posts, but I think it was Lisa? Me too! One bad day is just that...a bad day, not a "lifestyle choice" anymore. I did gain a lulls of…

Flip, I'm in Linwood!

Good afternoon my friends! Off to a good start and keeping my fingers crossed and my mouth closed ;). My 16 year old had football weight training at 7:30 this morning, so we were off and running early this morning. He's a life guard at a water park on the boardwalk (we live in Southern New Jersey near the beach), so I…

Oh, me...MANY times (but I will NEVER admit that to my husband!). When I was pregnant, and had a job where I traveled, it used to happen to me on planes (sitting next to STRANGERS!) all the time! Ok, and how am I supposed to prevent myself from farting in my sleep? That wakes me up too! And then my husband says something…

Well girls, another unsuccessful day :( . I've done so well for so long, and tonight I just ate weird crap (like half of the PB&J I left for my son when I went to work):angry: . This is where I struggle... I lose the weight, and then I think I'm a skinny person, and then "poof" I'm a fat person again! Tomorrow is a new…

Do you spray yourself with the squirt bottle or the people who are annoying you during your hot flashes?
-
:blushing: Uh, in my house apparently I'm the snoring grizzly bear, although I've never actually heard it myself so I think they're making it up....

Good morning ladies! I'm at the dentist with my 14 year old, who is getting a cavity filled, which costs $120. I told him next time I'll do it myself with dad's drill! I had one of those nights when I couldn't stop eating, and I didn't even eat anything I really enjoyed (ugh). The scale was up this morning which is a good…

For your squats and split squats, try holding the dumbbell "goblet" style (like you were going to drink from it), with two hands against your chest. The higher center of gravity means you can use less weight than if you were holding them down at your sides.
-
Snooozie, lol! I love that you do that, it makes me laugh. You can't stop now! I have not been cold in...hmm I can't remember the last time I was cold. It is a constant fight in my house...during the summer it's "expensive" to keep the house at 68 (which is where I'd like it), so we "compromise (not) and it's set at 72,…

So glad I checked out the posts today! I tried once before to join an established group of "ladies our age", and I felt like the new girl in high school looking for a place to sit in the cafeteria! I'm Melissa, I'm 51 years old and have struggled with my weight my whole life. I've taken it off a few times, and somehow I…
-
I'm headed out as well, but very much looking forward to getting to know everyone!
-
Sounds delightful :), I'm also 51 (at least for 2 more months!) and F. I'm on MFP every day, and would love to have some new "old" friends! Count me in :smile:

I wear mine just below my bra too.

I skipped 6, because in the book he says that stage 6 is for building body strength (it's the pull up/chin up stage), and if you're interested in weight loss you can skip it and go right to stage 7 (which is what I did). I ordered the book today, and will be ready to go when I finish stage 7. Tomorrow is my last workout of…
-
In response to those who asked if I had seen a change in my body, OMG, yes! Not only am I stronger, but I look better than I have in a really long time (my husband of 25 years says "best ever"). I've lost 45 pounds and I look and feel "fit". For me it was not only about losing weight, but also about becoming stronger and…
-
Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of Stage 7 (skipped 6), and am wondering what you all have done/will do when you finish. I'm going to (try to) do 12 workouts in stage 7, and today I finished #5. I really liked the program, and think I am stronger and more fit than I've been in my life (51 years old and three kids). I have…

Start weight:176 Last week: 132.6 Current weight: 131.2 After a long time of feeling like the scale wasn't moving, I feel like I'm making progress again!
-
You can add me, I'm on every day as well. It makes me sad when I see people stop logging in, because I know that in my case it would mean I had fallen off the wagon! Here's to us diehards, who are making changes for life!
-
Thanks for the support (as always :) ). I know you're frustrated with your stall, but hang in there, the scale will start moving down again soon. Just don't want you to lose that motivation and end up turning 2 into 20....I'm impressed that with your new job and the crazy hours you are hanging in there. Keep it up!!
-
Starting weight: 176 Last week: 133.8 Current weight: 132.6 Plugging away here, and hoping for the motivation to get to 130. It doesn't seem like a lot to lose, but these last pounds clearly don't want to be lost! When (I typed "if" first!) I get below 132 it will be the least I've weighed since I got pregnant with my…
-
Finally some movement on the scale!! Reached my goal (135 lbs), but am thinking an extra 5 lbs would be ideal... Start weight: 176 Last week: 136.2 Today: 133.8

No weigh in for me this morning, because I was in DC. I actually thought about packing my scale, and then realized how insane that was! I'll post it tomorrow.
-
Hi, just did my first B workout yesterday. I have to say, I'm not loving the 4 reps with 120 sec between sets (I've been doing 4 sets). I cut it down to 90 sec and still seemed like it took me forever. And although I'm using heavier weights, the 4 reps seems almost anticlimactic. I feel almost goofy in the gym doing 4…

Ok, I know I've been MIA, but my weight has been so all over the place that I couldn't bear to post it. I changed my profile picture to share my tale of woe! On Fridays I was at my lowest (134 at one point!!!), and then Monday morning up again. It does help to look at the chart, because it's proof that although I'm not…
