  • Hi everyone. Welcome ALL NEW MEMBERS! Sorry I have been MIA again. Work has been picking up. Our state has allowed some business to open with restrictions as of last Friday. Right now our "stay at home" is still in effect until June 1st. Fingers crossed we are slowly returning back to normal. I have still been tracking all…
  • Hello everyone. Sorry I have been MIA this week. I'll have to sit down and read through several pages and really catch up. Work has picked up, they are talking about allowing surgeries to take place again, so we are hoping we can get back to normal. Today is a beautiful day & I am going to enjoy it being outside in our…
  • It really seems like pizza 🍕 was the way to go this past weekend. What are your favorite toppings? Mine was thin crust and Chicken, Broccoli & Tomato with light sauce. Was pretty good. With working 11 hours the first 2 days of this week, I didn’t get a workout in. Yesterday was a good cardio blast and today I’m off, so I…
  • Evening Everyone! 😁 I just have to say how appreciative I am of each and every one of you. Even if I can’t immediately get to read and respond to this thread, just having each of you as a friend and seeing what you are posting on the general home page ... from just saying how your day is going ➡ the activities you all…
  • @kiay131982 I will have to look into the Zombie Run. Thank you. @LJRS2019 tai chi is a form of martial arts. I downloaded Beachbody on Demand for some variety in my workout, since I am not good with home workout (get distracted to easily) and they have a tai chi version that I am giving a go at. 2 days down and I didn't…
  • @CatieMay123 I figured if i do it before a workout, it can be a little warm up and get my head focused. I really should end my workouts with an easy yoga program as my stretch. I am so tight right now. I tried doing some stretches that used to be easy & uh… I lost my flexibility. Getting old stinks. Welcome @jodimaro1…
  • @CatieMay123 So far I did the foundation portion & realized just how bad my posture and balance is and I did the first 2 days of the Phase 1. The moves are easy to get down, but you have to remember you posture and my knees really feel it. I've been following it up with a BOD cardio... I tried Project You2 foundation…
  • @Cerizez Sorry to hear that you sister is like that. I always say, when the critique, it’s because they have hidden impurities about themselves. HOWEVER, it’s a positive light to hear that your lockdown is being lifted soon. Where are you at? @kiay131982 we are in same boat. My hubby was saying how he wanted to start…
  • @ljrs2019 I have my macros set to the same 40%Carb, 30%fat, 30%Protein at 1440 cals a day. I do struggle to hit the 30% protein... (roughly 108g... I normally eat about 80g). My fats can be up and down... (should be around 50g... I am between 50g-80g some days, but this comes from avocados, cheese, EVOO... so it's…
  • @PatriceFitnessPal ... We have a boathouse 🚣 local near us and it's really cool to watch them out on the water working as a team. I can't wait for the beaches to open and the warm weather so I can get my paddleboard back out on the water. I hope you can get to meet for virtual coffee ☕ today with them. @kiay131982 My diary…
  • @LJRS2019 Congrats on the BF% loss. That’s great to see! Like you, I chose Monday’s to be my weigh in because it will keep me accountable for the weekend. @PatriceFitnessPal – DON’T WE ALL KNOW IT! Welcome @chipsjain & @goingape & @pastelunicornxanaxskittlevirus & @aine891 @goingape … Those decluttering tasks are a workout…
  • @CatieMay123 Jvando is right. Start looking at this as a journey. Muscle and fat actually weigh the same, but take up different space / volume. Instead of weighing in daily (which we tend to see the negative slow loss or gain & beat up ourselves, than acknowledge the over all picture), start taking notice in the way you…
  • Good Morning everyone! Today seems to be a better weather day. I woke up to sunshine and the wind doesn’t seem to be knocking trees over. The past 2 days the wind had been violent. At one point I was debating on if I had to head to the inner stairwell at the office, it was so strong. Hoping to get outside to get some much…
  • @PatriceFitnessPal I am so jealous of your family dynamics. I’ve tried the mom cooks, someone else clean up… My oldest will occasionally help out but my youngest rushes through the process that the dishes need rewashed again and my hubby says he’ll do them, but they sit in the sink until I get around to it. (mainly because…
  • Hi all! I've been and yo-yo MFP user since 2006. I say "yo-yo" user because like you, I had friends who were active on here and held me accountable if I missed posting or logging and over the years, we hit goals, fail and lose motivation, life got in the way... all of which I am guilty of, and they have all faded off and…
  • Pork Chops cooked in diced tomato, onion, garlic & italian season, with some rice and steamed green beans. I also made a protein oreo cupcake w/ icing for dessert. Not really healthy but better than a reg. cupcake 320 calories, 40g carb, 8g fiber, 11g protein, and 15g fat. My kids rolled their noses mainly at the icing…
  • Hi everyone. I feel like I am late to the game, so many inspirational posts to read through and so many New People WELCOME! <3 Sorry this turned out so long, but I didn't want to miss anyone! @kiay131982 Welcome! Like you, I struggle to get enough protein as well. I was a vegetarian throughout my junior and high school…
  • Count me in. after falling off the wagon 3 months ago, I need to kick my tush into gear & off course with gyms closed right now, I need all the motivation to be able do home workouts. (I squirrel on honey do lists when I try to workout at home).
  • @PatriceFitnessPal I did the same thing. We're here in Delaware and it was semi cloudy. It was pretty and bright, but not as "super" as I expected. I have seen supermoons a lot bigger. it was still nice getting out though. and I have the same mind set, can't let it go to waste. @jvando74 well I am glad to hear that those…
  • Getting ready to head to work....
  • @LJRS2019 Ouch! but awesome job on the walk. @jvando74 congrats on that will power! Hope your day went smoothly. I did not get my Beachbody workout in BUT I did get a 2 mile walk in, we finished two school projects (what a fiasco that was), made dinner and was under caloric goal for the day. Now gonna spend time with the…
  • @kjord1 Welcome! @jemima901 Welcome! I get where you are coming from. I am not a home exerciser either. I get distracted by all the honey do's that are around. I've been trying to make it a point to do something this past week. Whether it's just a short walk, doing my daughters gym video with her, or/and I just signed up…
  • I know it's not fun, but are there any household chores to preoccupy yourself.... decluttering, sorting for donations, wiping down walls ... no joke I do this at times to keep myself busy and my mind off snacking. A book to read. An adult coloring book.
  • i am just getting into BOD. I started with Slim in 6 ... I can't get down one of the moves, I feel so awkward. if anyone has done it, it's the but kick with tricep kickback. any ideas on how to master this one?
  • I know what you mean. Well best of luck.
  • @Mikkimomof6 You got this girl! @PatriceFitnessPal my youngest is 12 (6th grade). She is not as excited as I am trying to make it. It's now going on 11 and we are working on the final project for the day and we'll be done. leaving us 2 classes left for the rest of the week. (she did chorus). I also have a 17 yo HS Junior…
  • feel free to add me... I'm still working and my schedule is all over the place. Could use the same accountability to just keep my self moving and away from the fridge when boredom strikes. do you notice if there is a trend to when you might be snacking. Maybe we can all come up with ways to deter the urge by finding other…
