9/11/01
Please nothing political or they will shut down the thread. I am saying a prayer for the families of the lost, and for the safety of our country. Where were you on 9/11? I was at work, sitting next to a Marine who declared " we are under attack, no one is safe" Turned out she was right. TO anyone who lost a loved on in…

Coming on to log food and forgetting to : )
So how many of you log into MFP to update your food or exercise diary and totally forget to do so? I have come on here 3 times today to log my food, and have still not done so! I log in, see a thread that catches my eye, read it, post a response, then put the computer down to go take the dogs out or get a cup of coffee.…

Just Ask!!
[code="blue"] I am still a work in progress with the whole no gluten thing. My list goes on to include tomatoes and nitrates as well as a few other things. Well I checked into a decent hotel on the beach. I was ordering breakfast trying to figure out what I can eat on their menu, which had combined choices. So I mentioned…

To Beach or not to Beach that is the question.....
This weekend I had a breakthrough of sorts. I was laying on the warm sand in my tankini, making sure my stomach wasn't exposed to terrorize the natives. While looking around I noticed women who were larger than myself in small bikinis. This made me ask myself "What do YOU think of her? What does seeing her in that small…

You can NOT get it fast....
And have it last. You cant have it fast, and have it last. This is my new motto. Diet pills, super cleanses, shots in your *kitten*, eating icecream and grapefruit...phooey. They do NOT work. Period. One year ago today I was a 47 year 'old' woman. I awoke each morning with such pain in my neck and upper back, that I…

I don't get it: 40 lbs down
(don't be put off by the moderator title, I am just an MFP member like you all:flowerforyou: ) I know, you are thinking "Why isn't this in the Success threads?" Me too quite honestly. Today I was logging my weight, which I only do monthly. When I saw I had hit 40 + pounds I thought WOOT! When I saw my ticker, which said 3…

celiac dx-had been GF for a month
My question: can the celiac and gluten allergy test give us a false negative if I was GF for a month prior to the blood test. Seems to me, and everything I have read indicates, that in order to get good test result you must be eating gluten at the time of testing. I had explained to the Doctor that I had been off gluten…

Lease Time
This has been a year of firsts for me. Newly divorced (as of 9/27) but separated since 5/11, the changes just keep a coming! I have lived in a house I owned for 24+ years. This has it's own set of issues, one of which is NOT deciding whether you want to stay there another year. Lease time is upon me and kind of upsetting…

Things I've Learned Along the Way
1. No one at the gym, park, neighborhood or track, are looking at you. They are thinking “Man, I ought to do that too!!” 2. Modify. Any exercise can be done at any stage of strength, you just have to modify. Don’t say “I can’t” say MODIFY…….cannot do a full out squat? Go ½ down. Don’t worry about finishing the whole video,…

~Perspective ~
www.answers.com perspective n. A view or vista. A mental view or outlook: 'It is useful occasionally to look at the past to gain a perspective on the present' As I sat here this morning reading through last nights posts, catching up on logging my food, I was wondering what makes one day different from the other in weight…

Servings
I know we have had this topic before, but I was reminded yesterday of this sneaky ploy from package good companies. The turkey pot pie looked good. It had veggies and turkey and of course a lovely crust. I read the box without my glasses (or didn't WANT to see!) and it says 550 calories. Ok, not what I would really want…

Teams
Hi all! I just wanted to comment on all the new teams with all the colorful names. So great to see people banding together for a common cause. I have been on here what, 3 years now? The ONE thing I can point to that has kept me from sliding all the way back to 168 plus the extra 10 I always did with every 'diet' is the…

Working my way down
A little discouraged this morning because the scale is being very mean. Yelled at it, pounded it, even grab ahold of the bedpost to make myself a pound lighter. To no avail.:huh: So I pulled out my trusty tape measure. She never lets me down. We have gotten very close over the years, what with her wrapping herself around…

Ahhhhhh to see 25 again *sigh*
After a horrible year, I gained back 16 of the 36 pounds I had lost. Instead of wallowing (sp) in my unhealthiness, and proceding to gain back the 36 +10 as I had done in my past life, I corrected my step. It has taken some time to get back on track. A few set backs with illness and new job keeping me in denial mode a bit…

I got news for ya.......
For this to work, it HAS to be a lifestyle change. Many a newbie will be popping in here for a quick fix, and be very disappointed. In a month the "OH woe is me" s will be rampant on the boards. Why is this? Because this is a slow process of changing the way you think about food and exercise. I know, because once I stopped…

Work out! No one is watching!!
I will do what I do and tell a story. When I started at the gym I was 47 yrs old, 170 pounds of dead weight, and was winded going up the stairs to get to the cardio equipment. I mean I literally had to stop at the 20th step to catch my breath. I used the treadmill, but wouldn't go near the weights or the Eliptical machine.…

Maximum Heart Rate
I need some help from all you very smart MFP members. I have been working out in the fat burning zone using the generic numbers.The formula is: 220-(your age) 47 = (100% max HR) 173 (172 come tomorrow:grumble: ) Fat burning zone should be 173 x 80% = 138 should be the fat burning mode, with spikes to 150 or so for cardio.…
