433 calorie breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas and 100 calorie snack ideas - 1,2,3 - GO!
Does anyone else break up their food by the number of calories per meal? Newbie here (well on do-over number 1,010) and thought I would try it this way. If I get 1500 calories and I do three meals and two snacks then it breaks down to approx. 433 calories per meal and 100 calories per snack. What do you think? Any ideas…

It's a start!
I have been logging my calories here for a couple of weeks now being totally honest with myself but not really "dieting". Each day I was over by 300 - 500 calories but today I did it. I stayed within my allotted calories!!! The whole time I have been exercising. Now that Turkey day is over I'm getting serious on the food…

Getting my brain in the game - how have you pushed through or got yourself psyched up?
I know what to do - been there, done that got the t-shirt so what is the deal? Exercise, eat less - eat whole foods - drink water. I get started with exercise and do great and then get interrupted like on that movie UP - "squirrel". Exercise consistency is not a big problem for me most of the time - it's sticking to the…

Newbie - my advise to stengthen your core is ....1, 2, 3 GO.....
Give me your tips for getting that core nice and strong. Just starting back, 52 yr old female weighing in at 198 - surprisingly strong in every area except core and upper body strength. I'm great with cardio - (Zumba, Spin - an hour on the treadmill - no problem) but need to get strong in the core area. So you're the coach…

How do you learn to do a pull up in the beginning? For those who've lost 50 pounds or more....
If you are just starting out, (female age 52 - 198 pounds) would really like to be able to do a pull up. Never have been able to, even when I was in P.E. in high school at 112 pounds. How do you start? Working on push ups too. My current workouts are walk/run 5ks and 10ks, bicycling, Zumba, Spin and the weight machines at…

Today got the exercise going again. 30 min walk with my dog this morning and 25 minute bike ride with my hubby and daughter this p.m. Well they wimped out after 10 minutes cuz it was "too cold" You guys up North would be…

Blew it
So glad it's Friday after 5 pm - really blew it today. It started last night when our neighbor, who is a nurse called at 9:30 to complain about our dog barking and he couldn't sleep and he had to go to work in the morning. She barked once. He threatened the "ordinance", etc. Usually he speaks with my hubby who is so much…

Walkers and beginning runners - Anyone doing RYBO
A couple of years ago I hit one of those BIG milestones the BIG 5 0....So I decided to be Fifty, Fit and Fabulous and I did. I started with a 2 mile Christmas run at our City Park. I walked it but it was a start. Next I did a 5k for my birthday and I kept doing either a 5k or 10k for 6 months straight. One each month until…

Concerned for Hubby. 6' 122 pounds. He desperately needs to gain & I need to lose
If I could switch with him we'd be perfect. I'm 5'8" @ 198 and he's 6 foot and just got o the scale. I saw it with my own eyes. Really concerned. How do I fatten him up and slim me down. Maybe if we ran at each other like Freaky Friday. Any tips would be appreciated.

Any older folks out there? Been there, done that got the t-shirt. Empty nester starting over
Two years ago my mantra was I'd be 50, fit and fabulous and I did. Did a 5k or 10k every month and lost 27 pounds. Things were going good but life got in the way and here I am back at 200 lbs. At 5'8" no one really believes I'm at that number. Started back to Zumba and one of the things our instructor says is 80 percent…
