Good Evening!
My name is Mary, and this group (at least the title) called to me! I am back on this site for the 3rd time in about 5 years. Recently went for a physical and was told I need to get my weight, cholesterol, and blood sugar level in check before I need to start the meds. Needless to say, I left there and hit McDonalds for…

I'm not depressed, I like food!
Before I go into my story , KNOW that I am not making light of those that suffer depression. Depression is not to be taken lightly and is an extremely hard disease to suffer from! And I do urge those that suffer from it to get help if they need it, nothing wrong at all in asking for help!! That being said, I am 52. I am an…

How's everyone doing?
So, 1 week into it, how's it going for everyone? I gotta admit I was starting to shake the last couple of seconds. I'm excited to see how I continue doing. I'm 51, completely out of shape and am just starting to work out!! With 40 extra lbs on me it's harder than I thought!

I need to eat how many????.... Maintanance
Okay, I am far from my goal, but have been "peeping" at different threads. It appears to me that once I lose my weight and hit maintance that my calorie intake will increase. Stands to reason. And I KNOW before I started this rollercoaster that I could easily eat 4000 cals a day without blinking an eye. But, now that I am…

need LOTS of help and input.... please
I'm stuck and trying to figure out what is going on. Everywhere you look it says that you need to eat all your calories. I'm wondering if you would all help me with this. Would you mind going on your nutrition report for 30 days and see how many times you were above/below/close to your calories MFP says you should have.…

Ideas needed.... getting heart rate up
I need ideas on how to get my heart rate up. Right now I'm walking, which I lovve to do. But my HRM. (just started using one), shows that my heart rate isn't high enough to be in the weight loss zone. I have arthritis in my knees so running is kinda out of the question, limited budget, so no gym, and I don't have access to…

Is it better.....
Is it better to take a longer slower walk, or a faster shorter walk. My treadmill gives me more calories burnt for a longer, little bit slower walk. But I feel like I'm getting a better work out, meaning I work into a sweat and my heart rate goes up higher, if I take a faster shorter walk. Any comments/ideas?

10,000 steps?....
I've heard that a person should take 10,000 steps a day. 2000 steps in a mile, so unless I get a walk in every day, (which I will try), I won't make that many. Does anyone else track their steps and how many do you get on an average day?

Is it healthy to?....
Hi, Does anyone have any input on this? Occassionally I will meet my calorie quota in the afternoon. I was wondering if it is okay to not eat anymore the rest of the day, (sometimes this could be at 3 in the afternoon), Or is it better for my metabolism to go a little over calories and have a healthy snack before bed.…

Anyone doing swing shift.....
Hi, am looking for someone to "bond" with. I work 12 hr rotating shifts and it makes eating right almost impossible and even harder to get my exercise in. When I am on my month of nights all I want to do is sleep, and at work I find myself making bad food choices because the kithen is closed and I'm eating out of vending…
