but a good 5-10 pounds have crept back on, and it’s all due to slacking off on exercise, too much haute cuisine of Portland and not enough veggies.

This year, I really want to get rid f the pounds that have crept on and go back to my 3 mile a day powerwalking days. 5 months ago

so this coincides with my wanting to become a vegetarian and being successful with it…3 years this december!

anyway. in my discontinuing of meat i also exercised a lot and lost 35 lbs in just under a year. i have now gained 10 back over the past 2 years. i know its not much and it was over 2 years time, but i feel like if i don’t do something NOW, it will just get worse. i can’t be like that again. i see pics of myself and just hate the way i looked. i must get back on track! 20 months ago

Well Monday, I hit the big 4-0. I didn’t get fit and I have no one to blame but myself. My dad even showed up in June with a rusty old mountain bike. Before this summer started sweltering, the kids and I rode every day. When it was too hot to go out, I should have moved to the treadmill, or the elliptical machine or the…(wait you get the picture). I read everyone’s submission on Fit With Friends and I say “today’s the day”...Today may as well be tommorow because it hasn’t come yet. Well after I make the kids breakfast, I will hop on the treadmill. 22 months ago

on the elliptical and burned 940 calories, according to the machine. A record for me. 23 months ago

who must weigh himself every day if I hope to lose weight. That’s a problem. I haven’t weighed myself in several weeks. I’ve continued to work out, at the gym for cardio on the elliptical. At home, I’ve assembled a bench in the basement and bought olympic weights. Now to start using them regularly. Has been too long. 23 months ago

have been good lately. I get off the elliptical drenched in sweat, and if the machine is to be believed, minus 700 calories or so. Still, I’m having trouble cutting back on calories and still need to lose that 50 pounds.

My parents’ 50th anniversary is going to be celebrated later this summer, and I really want to have lost quite a bit of weight by then. 2 years ago

some medical issues that have been preying on my mind and leading me to avoid working out. Nothing too serious apparently, but it would sure be beneficial to lose 50 pounds. Kind of feel like having a big workout tonight. Hope I can get to the gym. 2 years ago

this evening for more cardiovascular work on the elliptical. I exercise for about 40 minutes and, according to the machine, burn about 650 calories. I feel very good afterward. But sorry to say, I am not losing weight. Just have to cut calories to lose, I guess. 2 years ago
