Yes. I am looking at this as a long-term project. Change my way of eating and drinking so that I feel better and live longer.

just read your PM, grazie. yea, the alcohol bit is always difficult, but also something i REALLY want and need to get into a very moderate state. i was doing so for a long while, except weekends, then gave into "excuses" as to why i "deserved" to do whatever i wanted. yea, not so smart. :P life is never gonna get easy, so time to simply buck up and make positive changes amongst the chaos. :shock:

live longer and live WELL. that is KEY. i look at my mother, 85, and she's doing ok considering BUT she subsisted on coffee and cigarettes the bulk of her life. yes, she is still alive, but she's had major issues from her smoking - just quit a year ago after TWO strokes in quick succession that altered her life for the worse. she is VERY lucky it's not even worse than it is, but she definitely does not have the quality of life she once did - nor do i, due to caring for her. yikes. day by day, eh?Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow0 -
Yes. Day by day, week by week, there's movement in one direction or another. Ideally, we're progressing to a slimmer and healthier form!&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0

NOT cool, not cool at all. i had been doing really, really well - being healthy, eating well, some exercise, feeling good. tried to keep it up after my lay-off, but then add in 2 strokes for my mom, my own health issues, and yea, just downhill. BUT, cleaning up my act! eating light and fresh this week, cleanse next weekend, and then back on a healthy lifestyle, full-stop. add in my bootcamp and yoga, and i really, really, really hope to reach my goal by my BIG bday, 11.22. at least damn close. and then AFTER, maintain ... balance and moderation. this is what i so NEEd and DESIRE in my life.
I was in the very same boat, and I just got sick of feeling like shite!

Some extra motivation for the runners, walkers and cyclists - match your music to your workout... http://jog.fm/workout-songs?utf8=%E2%9C ... am&x=7&y=50

Has anyone tried the MyFitnessPal app? Since I started using it at the start of January, I have dropped 18 pounds.
It is a really easy to use food/exercise log that helps you track what you eat against your calorie goal. It has changed what I eat because now I feel accountable for adding any "bad" foods to my list for the day.0 -
Me too! I've been using it for a long time now (maybe close to 2 years). It really changed how I eat also. It definitely works on the accountability factor and portion control. From my highest point after having 3 kids, I lost about 35 lbs. I have been steady at my current weight now for over a year. I spin 6 days per week, lift weights also 3 of those days. Mondays are my day off. I really give this app a lot of credit for getting my mindless eating under control. I enter in all of my recipes which is great too bc I can see how to tweak them to make them healthier. It's also great that any restaurant food or packaged food that I might buy is in there so it's super easy to keep track of what I'm eating.PJ-Cubs said:Has anyone tried the MyFitnessPal app?

I have been surprised that I have been able to stick with the app but its now pretty easy to use with my core foods in the system. The barcode scanner is also pretty helpful. It does drive my wife nuts that I keep asking her for details about what is in the foods that she makes.shetellsherself said:

I am interested to see how well it works when I move from the 'lose weight"to the "maintain weight" stage.0 -
It's definitely easy to maintain with. It has become such a habit for me now. I usually don't enter until the end of the day now because I've gotten good at knowing and keeping that running total in my head. I think it would be easy for the lbs to slowly creep back on though if I didn't log my calories anymore. I like being held accountable in the end and this lets me be accountable to myselfPJ-Cubs said:

I have now lost 55 pounds! Lot's of my friends saw me recently for the first time in months and they were shocked. lol.
Regarding keeping track of calories and such, I use a calorie-track website, but I have been using it less and less. I used to enter in all the foods I ate the day I had them, but now I write down the stuff I eat for the day and enter it into the system a week later. I think once I reach my 1 year anniversary of starting my diet I will stop using the site because I feel I don't need to use it anymore. I understand how it works now and feel comfortable with staying on track.~Carter~

I just discovered this thread. We should keep it going.
I have gone back to university to study nutrition after 15 yrs of doing my last degree and I'm having problems trying to balance exercise, study and family commitments. So this week I rode the exercise bike while reading textbooks, I rode the bike at a constant rate for 30mins, every 7 or so minutes I would go flat out for 30-45secs, I did these flat outs 4 times during my whole ride and I got my heart rate up and got some studying done, so I think I have made some progress this week:-)

After reading this thread I started using the MyFitnessPal app about a week ago. I love it. It's really made me aware of calorie content and makes me think about what I eat. Thanks to all of you who mentioned it 0

For those interested... there is an outstanding workout program that is quite varied and leads to awesome results.
http://athleanx.com/
I have personally worked the program and experienced great results. I have also watched several of my colleagues buy in as well- all very, very satisfied with the program.
I'm not a sales rep. I offer it only to spark enthusiasm for your training regime. The workouts are short in length and high in intensity. If you couple this program with a solid meal program (5 small meals throughout the day with mostly protein, fruit and vegetables)... you can still have your wine and other 'treats' in moderation."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
