Hi, I'm Michele from Houston TX. I am 61 years young, 5'4" and currently weigh around 215. LONG time MFP member - since 2012 weighing 232lbs. Lost 50 lbs, reaching 181.0 in June 2014. Kept most of that weight off for a long time, but it has slowly crept up to 190-200 by 2020. Now, at 215, it is time to get back to MFP…

Please add me. Thank you

Last week I wrote that my regular walk was shorten because we had an active shooter/SWAT incident in my town. Sheriff Deputies were serving a warrant at a local business on a convicted sex offender who failed to register. A scuffle ensued, an officer was cut with a knife, suspect was tazed, but got away and ran to his…

11/01 - 1.2m walking the dogs. We have an active shooter/SWAT situation here in my little town on 4000 about a mile from my house/walking route, so I had to make a short walk of it.

Hi, I'm back (again). October was a good month with 66 walking/hiking miles. Put me down for 60 miles for November. Thanks,

Sorry I'm late, but I'm in for 140 miles in July.

Most likely it IS your scale. And the fact that you are moving it around and re-setting the calibration with every move. Put the scale in one location and KEEP IT THERE.

That is a brilliant business strategy!! Because if your clients buy that line of BS, they are sure to buy your line of MLM super-food, fat-burning, muscle-building protein powder weight loss miracle in a box (auto-shipped for your convenience, of course.)

Yes! Many times my craving for sweets at night is alleviated by flavored sparkling water...

I don't do cheat meals or cheat days - I feel they are completely counterproductive. They mess with my "lifestyle" acumen. It's like being the driver who abides by traffic laws and drives safely. But once a week, or maybe 2-3 times a month, that driver disregards his routine mode of driving - and speeds at 100mph, blows…

I live in Texas and can get boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.89 to $2.29/lb for a "family" pack - about 5lbs. I pound the breasts thin, marinade in McCormick seasonings marinade mixes (2 @ $.89 each) with about $1.00 worth of vinegar and/or vegetable oil/olive oil, then grill or bake in a 400degree oven. That…

Vulnerable, as in "I acknowledge my feelings and emotions and am comfortable sharing this", is attractive and appreciated. Vulnerable, as in "I'm insecure, I need someone strong to take care of me", is GTFO, I don't have time for that *kitten*.

I get my hydration in the form of coffee (about 42oz/day), flavored sparkling waters (about 64oz/day) and ice tea (about 64oz/day). That's enough "water" to keep my pee light yellow.

What qualifies as "low carb"?

I just turned 56 and am healthier, happier than I ever was in my 30's. My mom is still rockin it at 80. You better not call her "old" to her face.
