Probably one of my most 'authentic' photos.
There is also one of me from Christmas when I was 17, when I opened a gift, and it was my first rifle. The sheer joy on my goofy little face is so real. I think it looks horrible but it was my ex-husbands favorite photo of me.
Ooh, ah, oh, what kind of rifle? Mine was a Remington .22LR. Great little target rifle and good for keeping varmints out of the garden. (Yes, my grandmother cooked the varmints, she very clearly remembered the depression and everything we hunt, we eat.)

Don't worry Kelly you know we love you!! I didn't either as I missed out on the exchanging of addresses and such when I was on vacay! Maybe yours just hasn't arrived yet? We'll get in on it next time!

I must admit that the name "clotted cream" makes me gag. I have this horrible aversion to milk specifically because it gets all clumpy and sooooo groooosssss when it starts to spoil. So "clotted cream" translates into "rotten nasty milk" for me.
The worst part is that I've never actually tried clotted cream, as it's not a thing here in the US. I bet I'd LOVE it if I tried it elsewhere AND if they didn't tell me that's what I was eating. Just call it... ummm... buttery pudding... or sweetened cream.... or... well, anything but "clotted". Hee hee
I wish I could send you all some clotted cream
I have never had a desire for clotted cream. ..sounded disgusting. When I am in London next year I now vow to try it.
Oh yes you will! If I can persuade you down to Devon for s couple of days, I will take you for the best cream tea ever at ny favourite café on the cliffs.
I WANT to go to Devon! I want to meet Charlie and yet to be named baby girl and go to the zoo and check it all out! I have to get a Scotland/England guidebook and start reading up.
We will put Devon on the itinerary, and anywhere else you want to go. And you Can meet my babies and.we'll take them to the zoo. And Windsor Castle tower of London, Hampton Court, Highclere house (Downton abbey) Covent garden,

aww, congratulations to your dad! It's very sweet of you to offer him a trip Red Lobster as a reward for hitting a weight milestone. I tried telling my mom about mfp after she was recently diagnosed as prediabetic and obese but nothing came of it.lilaclovebird wrote: »AngryViking1970 wrote: »So, an awesome surprise arrived in the mail today from @FroggyBug today. I'm feeling so much love. just want to go on record and say that even though I can't post all the time I'm always reading and rooting for you guys and sending out good vibes and wishing all the best things for everyone here. *grouphug*
+1 to the bolded.
You were NOT alone in the @FroggyBug love today! Made my lack of sleep for my shift tonight totally doable and I'm kinda looking forward to shopping with my dad tomorrow morning! It's amazing how something that seems so small could totally make someone's day. Thank you @FroggyBug!
My dad has actually joined MFP and has logged 50 days straight today and has lost 11 pounds so far!
He's kinda peeved that he hasn't lost some in a little while, but I told him to keep at it and he might get a whoosh. I'm also working on getting him to use the food scale a bit more. Although he's pretty good at eyeballing, I want him to get in the habit of being as accurate as possible. He only has 80 more pounds until his goal.
He mentioned one day, in a kind of melancholy tone, that he's never eaten at a Red Lobster and I told him when he hit 250, I would take him. Totally my treat and he could order anything that he wants (I'm already saving for this as of two weeks ago). I'm already planning on us ordering multiple entrees each and him trying a little of everything.
My mother has downloaded the app on her phone but hasn't actually used it yet. She says that entering calories is 'too hard' I told her she has the time and it really is almost nothing once you get in the habit. She comes back on Friday the 28th so hopefully she can jump on the wagon too.
I am 26 years old, and my mother and father are 56 and 63, respectively. My mother will turn 57 this December!0 -

I find that I'm not hungry while drinking, but the next day I want all the things!
I went out of town to an archery tournament once, went out for bacon and eggs with the guys I was staying with, came back to the hotel and went out for French toast with another group.
I tend to want to eat like mad WHILE I'm drinking. Bacon, eggs, cheese(loads of cheese), burgers, fries, cheese sticks, sausage, pancakes, waffles, biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns, potato wedges, boneless buffalo wings(usually too inebriated to eat traditional), fried pickles, macaroni and cheese, and chicken alfredo.
These are things I have craved/eaten like a starving person while drinking.
This is more me. When I drink too much restraint disappears. It usually means a trip there burger King for a big fish meal. And ice cream. Often after having had dinner. This is why I try not to drunk much anymore.
This post is funny. I sound drunk. I was trying to graze my horse and post.
Trip TO Burger King.
Try not to DRINK much anymore.
What is sad is that I read it the way you intended and didn't notice the mistakes. haha0 -

I promise I sent everyone on the list a letter (even out of country addresses). I really hope they all make it. I know mail gets lost sometimes (which sucks because my dad is a mailman so I hate complaining haha).
Glad you guys that got them already liked the notes.
that made my day reading this too. 0 -

Fortunately he took me out for lunch today and I had a nice wholesome veggie omelette, because I have been rather hopeless at feeding myself supper, which has consisted of:
133 grams of cottage cheese (off to a great start)
a kiwi (going along well)
about a tablespoon of leftover wild blueberries (still okay)
about a quarter of a tube of leftover cheddar Pringles (going downhill rapidly)
half a toffee KitKat bar (aargghhhhhh!)
I might have to officially call this Eat Like a Kid Day. Actually, until I got to the KitKat, it was all leftovers... there's some merit in using those up, right?
Think I'll poach myself a couple of eggs so my protein isn't abysmally low, and maybe feel like a grown-up again.
What does your SO do that he leaves for 2 weeks?
He works in an underground gold mine... 14 straight 12-hour shifts. Two weeks in and two weeks out. And he does steady days or nights on each rotation, currently on days.
Wow. Is that as dangerous as coal? And I can't imagine doing 2 weeks on/2 weeks off, why do they do it that way?
I think it's more dangerous for the guys who are doing the actual blasting in the new areas. Although he has mentioned that occasionally the ground will give way in a weak spot and giant sink holes will appear, and there have been rock falls. But they seem to be pretty meticulous about safety. I know there have been times that he's called and said they've been delayed going underground because fans haven't been working and gases haven't been exhausted properly.
The deepest level is something like 1400 meters below surface. No way you'd get me down there.
I have no idea about the shifts, possibly because they fly employees in and out. And I know he isn't underground for his entire shift, they start on surface doing paperwork and ordering parts for about the first 3 hours because that's when the blasting is taking place and no one else is allowed in the mine.
There are quite a few mines around here and they all seem to run on different shifts... some are 1 week in/1 out, some are 3 in/1 out.0 -

In Oman, that means he works in the oil fields out in the middle of the desert. In Canada... No idea.
See, it's not so different in Canada... it also means he's in a natural resource industry out in the middle of nowhere.0 -

I started. I sent out a few Postcards and will continue to chip away at the list. Thus mine will trickle out as I get spare moments and it is not a reflection of anything other than my time limitations how quickly these get put in the mail. I started in country for simplicity. I had the proper postage but I will keep on it.0 -

NSV - Finally got daughter into the weight room!!!! Yay. It was mostly older women, as in retired age women, an older man, a younger man and us. She did it and will return with me. The older women (3 of them) seemed to be taking a semi-private training session as the younger man moved among them gently giving them directions and telling them what exercise to do. It was great to see and they looked pretty fit!0

I feel you; it rained halfway when I went to the park on Saturday. Having to walk on the dirt trail I take was not fun at all.

@nonoelmo that is awesome!! So glad it didn't take her long to give the weight room another try!!
I have been doing well this weekend. Actually got up and exercised both mornings! A first for me. Funny thing, I weighed in today, then went on my morning walk, came back showered and my daughter was playing with my scale. So I got on it again and it was about a pound and a half lower! That would have me under 200! Well, I got off and got back on and it was up about a half. So I won't record that one, but next week for sure!0 -
@spacequiztime we did not do too much. We did upper body, an abbreviated workout that hit some highlights. We did freeweights butterfly press, a tricep extension, a light weight rep that I don't know the name of that works a bunch of muscles because you are moving your arms a lot of ways, the shoulder pull down and two others I don't know the name of. This is a close variation of what I used to do ages ago and includes the moves I know best so I could be very confident in correcting her form. Her form needed much correcting. She did VERY light weights - 3 to 5 pounds where I thought I was going light at 15 pounds as it has been awhile and I like to get form over weight. But she did it. We went and discussed the leg workout too, but didn't do any of it. For that I typically use the circuit and do it three times. If she continues to go I'll hire a personal trainer for her once or twice so it is not mom and is an expert showing her form. She wants to talk to her trainer and her coach too. I'm all for it. She is so much happier and less moody when she works out regularly.0

That's great! And what a fun way to train those older ladies have found. I think I might have been intimidated by a personal.trainer when I first started. (Like I said, I went to spot for hubby and git bored.)

Very nice, CrosbyLee! When he was three, my now 18 year old jumped on my scale because he liked to watch it. (it was not a digital scale, that long ago) He broke it so that everyone weighed 200 lbs. Scared me to death because I was pregnant and thought the OB would read me the riot act. At the actual doctors' office, I weighed 185.

+1 to the bolded.
You were NOT alone in the @FroggyBug love today! Made my lack of sleep for my shift tonight totally doable and I'm kinda looking forward to shopping with my dad tomorrow morning! It's amazing how something that seems so small could totally make someone's day. Thank you @FroggyBug!
My dad has actually joined MFP and has logged 50 days straight today and has lost 11 pounds so far!
He's kinda peeved that he hasn't lost some in a little while, but I told him to keep at it and he might get a whoosh. I'm also working on getting him to use the food scale a bit more. Although he's pretty good at eyeballing, I want him to get in the habit of being as accurate as possible. He only has 80 more pounds until his goal.
He mentioned one day, in a kind of melancholy tone, that he's never eaten at a Red Lobster and I told him when he hit 250, I would take him. Totally my treat and he could order anything that he wants (I'm already saving for this as of two weeks ago). I'm already planning on us ordering multiple entrees each and him trying a little of everything.
My mother has downloaded the app on her phone but hasn't actually used it yet. She says that entering calories is 'too hard' I told her she has the time and it really is almost nothing once you get in the habit. She comes back on Friday the 28th so hopefully she can jump on the wagon too.
I am 26 years old, and my mother and father are 56 and 63, respectively. My mother will turn 57 this December!

Tell your dad he's doing an awesome job & 11 pounds is a great start.
The Red Lobster treat sounds like a great reward.
