Izena Posted December 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Good morning everyone. Gather I’m the only one not cruising at this time. Pray all cruisers are having a spectacular time. Holiday season and fall are my worst stressors for various reasons. Hoping to not gain too much. still at the high end of my range. Still walking 2x day getting 3.5-6.5 miles a day. Weather has cooled and great walking. JENNY B. welcome . I’m sure you know the HARDEST part of losing weight is starting and staying motivated. Took me 20 years to get serious. What worked was setting small goals. Ex- getting below 200, then 10 lb goals things that could be achieved. Initially I thought 170 would be a great end goal when I hit that kept going thought 150 would be wonderful. The range I talk about maintaining is 123—128. I considered months I lost 3 - 5 lbs successful - weight doesn’t drop quickly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabaster Cruiser Posted December 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Hi Izena and Belle.. I'm still at home. Getting ready for family coming tomorrow. Everyone at our house Saturday for lunch. Been baking so we all know how that goes😟. Will be leaving the baby (18 months old) with us until we take him home on Christmas Eve. I will be busy until then. Hope everyone has a good week and a very Merry Christmas! .....Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izena Posted December 18, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Susan nice to hear from you. Hope your get together went well. I don’t think I could handle a child for a week. The dog is enough. Its cold here. 32 degrees. I think we’re going to be breaking temperature records. Usually late January before we have to worry about freezing temps. Last few years have noticed first 3 fingers each hand go numb and turn white when cold out side. Have to wear thick mittens. Last week we hit high 70’s. Christmas will have TX son and granddaughter, my friends from dog park who dog sit for me ( they are moving to CA in March).and a friend of my sons - All coming for Christmas. Still struggling with sweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser_1977 Posted December 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Hey all! I got my new scale and it was a bit eye opening to see more detail than just weight. For example, BMI and Metabolic age. I have spent the last few days focusing on getting in my water, vitamins/minerals and keeping food healthy and staying below my BMR which is 1400cal per day. That means I have to stay BELOW that to lose weight. I have also changed the order of my morning. I now eat a little, take my ALCAR and Osteo BiFlex, then have coffee. It used to be coffee only....😀 Having worked for a long while in the fitness industry, I know what to do. It's just that I need accountability. So this thread, MyFitnessPal, MyZone and the Peloton app are helping to keep me motivated and accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted December 20, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Good Morning - We got back from our cruise at midnight ... I'm tired, but we had a good time. Will post later. Weighed myself this morning and seem to be down, but we will see where it is on Thursday. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
