Just started - saying hi!
Hi... I just started nutrisystem. Started on women's diabetic (I'm pre-diabetic), and unfortunately they don't let you start with Fast Five. Switched to regular (uniquely yours), but now I have to order separately. Anyhow, I got my frozen stuff Thursday, my other stuff Friday and got my shopping done yesterday. This isn't…

Interesting Article...
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/09/aging-well-through-exercise/ "... the bigger message is that it looks as if how we age can be under our control. Through exercise, you can preserve muscle mass and strength and avoid the decline from vitality to frailty.” Get workin'! :bigsmile: Tracy

Today's weigh-in: "RagtimeLady lost 4.2 pounds since her last weigh-in! She's lost 17.6 pounds so far." That's IMPOSSIBLE! That's in one week! I checked and double-checked and yes, that's what the scale says... I'm over 50, menopausal, and have (or at least *had*) the metabolism of a slug. I started doing 5000 calories per…

Metabolic testing - YAY!!
Metabolic testing (New Leaf) was worth the expense! I have just adjusted my calorie and exercise goals based upon actual needs. If you look at my diary, don't freak out when you see 1036 as my calorie goal - my actual calorie goal *with exercise calories* is a minimum of 1200. Here's how I got the 1036: My measured resting…

Sigh... I just need to whine!
This is discouraging. Set my calorie goal at 1000. Doing at least 1 hour of cardio every day (formerly entirely sedentary). I eat back some, but not all, exercise calories because of low goal. I've been below my calorie goal every day except for yesterday, when I was 25 over. Every muscle in my body is sore, sore, sore,…

Hiya! New in Northern Illinois...
Just wanted to introduce myself. My profile says it all. I'm a veteran loser (previously lost 100+ pounds) who gained some back due to meds and major life stressors. Now that I'm crawling back out of my hidey-hole, I'm disgusted at my weight gain and am determined to kick start my metabolism (shock therapy!) I have a…
