May goals ... As stated last night ... a colossal failure!
-- gym twice a week - Not even close
-- log every bite and swallow - Nope
-- drink 8 glasses water - Better
-- breathe - Most days ... but not all
-- release (forever) at least one pound - Wah! Gained 4 pounds!
-- finish recipe organization - Almost there!
-- organize laundry so DS#2 can start doing his own ... he's 17! - Believe it or not, husband nixed this one!
-- have fun every day - Sadly, no ...
Barbie said something here recently about keeping your goals where you can see them. I had to look for May's goals, so obviously they're not front and center. Going to change that. My June goals will be printed and posted where I can see them daily!
June goals: Going to go back to just the basics!
-- Intentional exercise 10 minutes every day
-- Log every bite and swallow. I'm going to close my diary for the time being. For some reason I do better when it's just me looking at my mistakes ... ??
-- Drink 8 glasses of water
-- Release (forever) one pound
-- Stay within calorie goals
-- And breathe ... rough days are ahead ...
Welcome to the new ladies!
YannieJannie ... the grape vines will survive ... but there will be no fruit this year.

Hi Beth! I have not written/placed in visible place my goals...all pretty new to me. I'm glad you made a point of it. Sounds like a good idea. I hope to make a point of doing it in the morning.
Best success to you!
Sondre, South Fork, PA0 -
I am sabotaging myself. I am not staying within calorie allowance. So unmotivated.
I have felt that way so many times. My motivation is reflective of what is going on in my life at the time. I have read some very helpful thoughts on this site, though. Don't beat yourself up. You will succeed....when you are ready0 -

Thursday here and slept in until 9am. Then having a dream and Blaize jumps on my head, is COLD. Got up and had breakfast
My Sports Nutruitionist advised me to PLAN my food for the day, use BeneFibre to Get fibre over 21 g (23 today), log the food and stick to it. ONLY have protein shake if heavy lifting, I work out at home. Great advice, calories at 1700, which is top of my range, NO protein shake today.
Training: Jeannette's Bikini boot-camp II, Jillian's Bod Rev weight I this morning, walk dog this afternoon

Yes, we can still eat normal food, but I think we need to talk about his ice cream every day??? ROFL. *shakin’ head” I think you are going to be an interesting one to watch. Good for you that you have made changes in your eating. If I worked as a candy dipper, I”d probably never want to look at it again; but then I’m not a chocoholic. I can take it or leave it. (Now cinnamon, I have a hard time leaving.)

Good evening Janet, so nice to hear from you0 -
Hello, I'm new to this type of thing not weight loss though. Constant yo yo over the years. The older you get the slower the metabolism. I would love to find an accountability buddy as well as just to have someone to chat with whose doing the same thing. I want so much but easily discouraged when the scale says the same thing after another week of really trying. Any fresh ideas for an old woman?. Stormywaters957@ gmail.com0

Totally stole this from someone else: "You are not a dog, stop treating yourself with food."
Oh Lisa....thanks for the stolen quote. It hit me right between the eyes!!
I hope you have a wonderful time at your nieces graduation. How nice for you to be spending time with your sister, too! Safe travel!

Join the group here @stormywaters957 and you will get all kinds of great support! Also, many of us are older than you and are experiencing success slowly but surely and so can you!0

Welcome to other newbies as I'm a newbie myself.
Rain here all last night and today. We needed it, so I'm not complaining.
I've lost a few pounds in the last week, I can tell, but I'm not weighing until it's officially been a week....tomorrow. I've been lax at drinking water, too liberal with salt, so I'm trying to drown myself today.
Hubby had follow up visit with doc Monday. PSA bumped up a little. Doc says no biggie, but it just seems like we can't catch a break lately. PSA up, new treatment. PSA goes back down a few month, then up again; another new treatment. And they all take their toll on that man of mine. He's a real trooper, I tell you. Been battling cancer for almost 8 years now with hardly a peep out of him. If it were me, I'd be screaming at the top of my lungs already for someone to find me something that works, for Pete's sake!!!! Every visit to his oncologist is a roller coaster ride of emotion. I wish I knew how to level it all out to a more even keel....
My family wants me to tell them what I want for the big event (my 50th) and I honestly can't think of a single thing. Suggestions?
My June goals are the same as May:
More water
More exercise
More consistency
More day trips
Less negativity
Jules in South Carolina
Hi Jules. I am new here. What a lovely group of ladies!
I am sorry that your husband has cancer and all of the crap that goes with it. I pray that it will level out. How awesome to hear of his great strength. No doubt, you have great strength as well.
Big birthday coming up...when is it? Mine is the 13th. I'll be 55. I am pretty much at the point of preferring time spent with family over any material gift.
Sondre, SF, PA0 -
Oh my word! Nine pages and 200 messages! That's from missing one day! The good news is that we are chatty and supportive.
today was my long day at work...11 hours. I do the 9 a.m. assessment lab then hang around to do the one at 4 (goes to 7). so I'm really beat and heading to bed. More good news...already over 8000 steps for the day. But not getting much more as I'm sinking into the recliner!
OK take care and I'll have more to say tomorrow. Oh, DH was going to go over the DD's house and discuss the ongoing drama issue, but was still too mad to go today. Probably a good decision!
Take care, Meg from Omaha0 -
Mary from Minnesota – .
Sondre South Fork, PA – a chocolate candy dipper?!!?? I would have to quit my job. Congratulations on the nutritional changes you have made. I am awed
I have to track my food to ensure I am getting the correct amount of protein and calories. That is how I ran across MFP. I needed a food tracker that was easy to use and a friend suggested I look into MFP. While I cannot eat too much food in one sitting, I find that I can graze all day. Thus, my goal for this month to track my food daily. I need to avoid falling into old bad eating habits. I also need to increase the amount of exercise I’m getting. Building new healthy habits is hard for all of us, but so worth it.
I look forward to getting to know everyone here a little better as each day passes.
Hi! I appreciate the understanding you've shown for my employ. It is a daily struggle to keep the chocolate away from my mouth. I suppose it is helping me to become a stronger individual...,0 -

:sad: Katla, can I have some of your turkey? :sad: Can't sleep. Too worked up over the rental and the projected holiday.
DON'T LET THE PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD.
Why do I always agonise over everything?
I tossed and turned in my spare room until about 2 am, but since then I've been well awake. I'm reading a great book called "A Buzz in the Meadow" written by a biologist who bought a house and large meadow in France to encourage insects. Love insects, though not personally, if you know what I mean. :laugh: I find their lives fascinating.
Thanks ladies for listening.
Welcome New People! ! ! ! Keep coming back in. Love all the stories of trials and tribulations. As one of our lovely members, Vicki, always says, we are all in this together. That's a great feeling. So many of us, in all corners of the globe, supporting each other in this struggle.
Hope I can sleep now.
Heather, feeling grateful for having you, in Hampshire with a full moon. UK

Did an hour of deep water. What a shame that my yoga class was cancelled! Tomorrow I'm planning to do a Peak 10 Cardio Strength Remix DVD that I downloaded.
Lillian - I remember one time when our cat got skunked. It would lay in one spot and then move, it couldn't stand the smell of itself. I don't think it realized that it was him who was smelling. However, that was the one and only time it actually let me spray it (with this spray to take the smell away)
Mary from MN - as a last resort could you put those items (the snowblower, etc) into storage?
Joyce - I just read about getting the free donut at KK. Personally, I probably wouldn't go, but Vince might. Do you have to get a cup of coffee at KK (same thing at Dunkin Donuts)
workfrhome - welcome to a great place!
Alison - do you have a Planet Fitness near you? Their monthly fee is usually about $10
mambre - welcome. Tell us more about yourself
Carol/peach - today I bought another (yet another) tube of sunscreen at CVS. Not that they had a great price. However, I got a $3 off coupon good towards my next purchase. Now I know that they have milk for (again, not a great price) $3something. With my $3 off coupon and my manufacturers coupon, I'll get it for free. So what is bringing on all the infections for your Pom
Lisa - love those "signs". How cool are they! Have a great time at the graduation!
NC Carol - when Jessica comes here, what can I say? she's at "moms", so mom winds up washing dishes (at least she does put them in the sink), when she leaves makes her bed up, the usual picking up etc. I don't think they ever grow out of the "mom will take care of it" syndrome
Heather - I'm so proud of you, deciding to talk to your friend and then finishing your strength training. Wonderful! And then writing on top of all that. Norway! What a reward, and you so deserve it. Glad your dh decided to join you on the trip
Brenda - welcome, where in VA are you?
poop - only YOU would think of "Penny at the Pole" and envision her pole dancing...only you. You and your sister looked so much alike -- same wonderful smile and all. Happy birthday to Bullwinkle
Lisa - safe travels
Janet - you're almost as bad as Poop. But you do make me smile just like she does. I have these handle bands, I'm sure you've seen them. Anyway one of them is the lightest and that one I never use in the house. I have used it in the pool. So I tried doing something that I did with them on land (yes, wearing sneakers). I put it on the bottom of my foot, hold the band by the handles at my waist, and then side step. Really works the outer thigh (abductor muscle). So I tried that in the water, I sure felt it the next day. Maybe it was because I haven't done that exercise in a while. Don't you just wish we could claim the medical bills for our pets on our taxes?
I'm still so jealous of the Y where I moved from. They have so much. We got a new CEO since I've been here and to me he hasn't done a whole lot except things like put a new coat of paint on things, get donations for new lockers, etc
Chris - many times my BM's are so hard they clog the toilet. So lately I've been having some prune juice or dried prunes. That seems to be helping somewhat to keep them soft. I just want to avoid laxatives if I possibly can. A friend of mine has a fitbit and she needs to constantly be moving her arm. Never thought of putting it on the ankle. I'll pass that along to her. I'm so with you having a hard time throwing out food. I donate it to the soup kitchen or else try to give it to people. Actually, I had some meatballs left over from Mexican Train and as I was going home I thought to myself "now who can I give these to". Well, I divided them up and will give 1/2 to the place where I take the extremepump class and the other half to one of the Y's around here (I like the gal who is head). I can get my shirataki noodles at WalMart. I know Lowes Foods sells them (but I don't think you have a Lowes Foods up there)
dbrinkmeyer - welcome! Nice to see you jumping right on in. You've come to a great place, you'll find lots of people here who will make you feel accountable. You've already seen examples of it (Heather's throwing out the cake because of us)
Sylvia - glad you feel better. I tried to find a way just to bold the names (like hitting 'control c') but no go. I have to constantly scroll up which can be a pain at times
Tina - welcome back! You've come to a great place
rini - glad you decided not to be so silent. Welcome!
tere - congrats on the new car! At least you HAD a house when you came back after leaving it in the hands of two teenage boys....lol Can you put yogurt IN your oatmeal?
Sue in TX - bet a lot of those homes aren't in flood plains. Insurance companies are probably going to be really changing their policies. I know shortly after Andrew hit Florida, we had the most interesting time getting insurance for our condo (even tho we're on the third floor)
ydaily and miakoda - welcome! We're just a chatty bunch
Poop - Poor Kirby, and you didn't know about his flat! Good for you getting a pullthru
yanniejannie - sending lots of strength. Maybe you can get a bag of those mini 3 Musketeers and have just one whenever you're tempted to have a brownie. Less calories. dh is the same way...he loves cakes and brownies and stuff and makes them last FOREVER. And I have to walk right by them! I also have pieces of fruit that I'll have when I see those brownies, etc
stormywater - welcome! You've come to a great place for ideas!
Jules - your husband's attitude leaves me in awe
Michele in NC0 -
Today, I made a deal with the devil. I finally caved in, and sacrificed my deeply held beliefs for a little convenience. I downloaded Google Photos.
I'm someone who doesn't jump on the first shiny bandwagon in the parade. There is something deeply troubling about putting your precious photographs up in "the cloud". I just don't trust it. Who else is looking at my stuff? Secure? I have my doubts. But, it sounded so good, to be able to search for "dog" pictures out of the thousands on my phone. It took hours just to get them all up there, but now I can look at them on my iPad or desktop, or hubby's laptop, too. So far, I think I like it. And it does some really tricky stuff, too. It took some of my photographs and stitched them together into panoramas. It was amazing. I didn't tell it to do that, and don't know how to tell it not to. And it put a series of my DGS's soccer pics into a little movie. Didn't ask for that one either, but it's cute. It sorted my vacation pictures into Madrid, Barcelona, Toledo, Segovia and Avila. How does it even know where those were taken? It's spooky! Big brothers name is Google.0 -
It cut off my post! It's never done that before!0

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening Ladies,
Poop, tell Bulwinkle I said Happy Birthday. Sorry about your sis. Not a happy anniversary.
Sylvia, you are right that if you bold something in Word, it doesn’t carry over when pasted here. It is a pain in the rear to have to keep going to the top to bold names, but that’s all I’ve figured out to do.
Tina, welcome. Yeppers, looking at a picture of me is about all it takes to get me in gear and eating right.
Ydailey, welcome to the forum. Sorry for the life problems you’ve had to face, but it sounds as though things are looking up. We are happy to have you and I’m sure you will find great support here.
Poop, sorry for Mr. Pip and his lack of air and tire.
Miakoda, welcome. It looks like you have done a fantastic job so far, so hopefully the support you get here will be all it takes.
Rosie, hope the haircut turns out the way you like.
Heather, your trip sounds fabulous. I know you and DH like to travel together, so I’m sure it will be fine, but I do know what you mean. Sometimes it’s better not to have them with us if we have to worry about them. Lol
Toni, my foot is getting a little weak from all these kicks. Plus, this time, I think the catching up was enough of a kick. I just can’t read fast enough to catch up if I get 4 pages behind. I don’t know how some of you do it?? Sorry about the phone and your dodgeier dodgey. (or something like that??) I know what a decision it is to have a painful surgery even when you know the outcome is great. This time rather than the cyber kick, just take this: (((Hugs)))
Yannie, yep we had rain again today and looks like will have it for the next 4, too. Unfortunately tomorrow is start of a 3 or 4 day Country Music Festival that is outdoors. I hope the weather doesn’t totally wash it out. Congrats on resisting those brownies. You are one strong woman! Turkey=sleeping pills? I guess, whatever works. lol
stormyH2O, welcome. This group of ladies is great for support and I have learned lots of interesting and helpful information here as well. The main thing is to learn to eat healthy, log everything that goes in your mouth and just never give us. Yes, as we get older, it is harder and slower, but it can be done. Good luck.
Heather, *shaking you gently* get a grip on yourself!!! Lol If planning a sale and a wonderful trip does this to you, what are you going to do when something terrible happens??? Just shut your eyes, turn off your mind and go to your happy place…..then to a peaceful sleep……..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Gosh, I just had to scan over the last few posts. They seem to keep coming faster than can read them. I do love reading about all the adventures, mis-adventures, trials and triumphs. I did do better on exercising today but unfortunately didn’t do as well as normal on my eating. Tomorrow I can do better on both.
I hope you all have a wonderful, restful night and a happy and healthy day tomorrow.
Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.

Janet I love your word savor.
DH and I went on a walking tour along the Mississippi River in St. Paul. I like how our guide ended our tour. He reminded us that when something new is built along the river something is being replaced. Remembering the past helps us to remember where we came from and accepting that changes will come. It was a good message for me as I prepare for another visit to St.Louis. My mom's house is just about ready to go on the market. She lived there for 65 years and it is the house where I grew up. I am not sure how I will feel as I walk through it the last time. Letting go is not an easy task for me.
Loving all the pictures and inspiring quotes.
Pip I am afraid I am more comfortable referring to you as Pip too. I think it is such a fun name. Pip to me is full of energy and fun. MNMargaret 0 -
Cynthia – Good call on Becca and the water/fiber connection!!!
Workfmhome – welcome, I have a fitbit as do a few of the other gals….
Brenda, Miakoda – welcome
Heather - That was a beautiful cake, but if it was not a great hit that was the right thing to do…. Wonderful to get back to the exercising…. And the writing!!
Pip – happy birthday to Bullwinkle and sorry to hear it is a sad anniversary…
Janit – cheesecake is on the back burner – I am not having any cravings for that…
Dbrinkmeyer – it sounds like you are having a very tough time, we are a really good support system for each other.
Ydailey – welcome, what a great new career! Glad that stability is coming your way!
Jules – I have a neighbor dealing with PSA cancer issues too….he has gone high organic and low on the processed food - it has evened out the up and down of the PSA and kept it lower…
Terri – wonder if you could set aside a piece of KFC for the midnight munchies – and peel off the skin ahead of time.
Beth – sad to hear about your neighbor
Rosie – Great pic!!!
June goals:
Walk every day 180 miles for the month (in May I did 175… thought maybe a higher goal would be good)
NEW – 1 plank every day – and log them here - 2
Log everyday
Eat slower
do 2 fun things every week

Penny, your husband's job sounds so interesting. I'm a bit jealous of you being in such a beautiful area. I know it is cold and sometimes no light other times no break from the light but it is beautiful. Loved the picture. I am dissapointed you weren't featured on House hunters. I live vicariously by others by watching those kind of shows. I feel I have traveled to many countries.
Allison, I hope that ceiling lasts until the weekend.
Heather, so proud of you in throwing that cake away. It was kind of like throwing away your own creation, sorry it made you so sad. Am also jealous of your trip.
Pip, happy birthday to Bullwinkle. I also like Pip better, it reminds me of pep which you definetely have. How about Pipy-poo? I don't use any curse words and to me jokingly calling some one poop would be a curse word. Yeah I know, I'm a bit old fashioned. I don't drink any alcohol either. Drove the kids in the dorm at college crazy.
Chris. I'm getting a bit disgusted with my FitBit flex. I bought it because it was waterproof and I don't want to miss a minute of exercise. But it sure is a buster to get on. In order for me to count my bike riding, I have to take the device out and put it in my pocket. But then I have to put it back on m wrist again.
Michele, no you don't have to buy a cup of coffee at Kryspy Kreme. We tried it last year for the first time. All we did was go in and ask if we had to get the glazed doughnut and they said no we could pick whatever we wanted. So I picked a chocolate and husband picked something else. When they boxed it all up, they went ahead and gave us a free glazed doughnut and our choice plus to make the box even they put in two more glazed! A little more than what we needed.
Sherry, hugs to you for all your stress. I wish I could say everything will be OK with your son but we all know we just can't say it and it is that way. But we are with you to hod your hand and give you a box of kleenex.
Welcome to all our newcomers since my last post, workfrhome, Brenda in Va, dbrinkmeyer, TinaT, Rini-s, ydailey, stormywater and miakoda40 who by looking at her profile shows she has already lost 88 pounds!
Good choir practice at church tonight. We pick up and stat a new song pretty much every week to keep music up to date for at least a month. One has a duet which can be sung by 2 men, 2 women or a woman and man. Well the tenor is fairly high and the soprano is fairly low so I suggested to my cohort in the low alto section that she and I do it. She is thinking about it. I have always want to get my feet wet and sing a solo as I used to sing solos all the time at my previous church. But there are 2 other altos that have the most pure gorgeous voices I have ever heard and it kind of intimidates me. But they sing solos in the more contemporary songs we sing. This other lady has such a precious voice for an 80 year old. Anyway even if some one else does it, it's a nice song. We are still working hard on a big, 22 pages long, song that is for the end of the month. The low altos are singing the tenor part for most of the song and it's hard for me to transpose knowing what the tenor notes on the bass clef are in the treble clef for me. But i ma getting it slowly but surely. Tomorrow we are going to see the new movie about the San Andreas fault. I can't believe ticket prices. A senior matinee ticket is $7.25! It's a 1:20 showing so it will be right after lunch and i won't be tempted to have a snack.

Going to take a shower for my haircut appointment this afternoon - hope this new stylist doesn't cut all my hair off. I get really nervous when they tell me the last haircut is uneven and they need to correct that. Which really means goodbye hair. Every time I find a stylist I like they move or change professions! Ug!
Rosie in San Diego, I have to share what happened once when I went to get a professional haircut. I'm a nature child so I don't cut my hair very often – maybe once every six months. I told the stylist simply to cut off half what was there and that would be fine.
Did she scold me for not coming in more often? No! She commented about how much fun it was for her to cut someone's hair when it really made a difference.
When she was through, the cut had revealed a natural color pattern, with light hair on top shading to darker underneath around ears and nape. She pointed out that she herself had exactly the same pattern, only hers was the result of careful dying. Wasn't that sweet?cityjaneLondon wrote: »I did my research on the cruise and settled on one that goes right up to 600 miles from the Pole. I rang up Saga and took a 48 hr option on a cabin.
Heather – Good for you and good that your husband wants to come along! Maybe, just maybe, he will end up a convert to the Arctic. Keep me in the loop about developments. If the times are right I might arrange to be at one of the stops and point at interesting features.
Penny at the Pole – I have a friend who has heard that when you are near the Pole you can feel the Northern Lights and not just see them. That intrigues me. Do you happen to know if it is true? I want to visit as close to the pole as I can and see the Northern Lights for myself.
miakoda40 (what do you want to be called?) No, that's not true, you can't feel them. It's also a myth that you can hear the Northern Lights. But some people are so overwhelmed that their brains "fill in" extra sensations for them. Last winter, around Christmas, we had some spectacular Northern Lights. They stretched all the way across the sky and had those curtain-like shapes you see in pictures. It was so grand I got out of bed, got dressed, went outside, and admired them for a good quarter hour despite the cold (15°F) and even though it was about 2 am.
Another thing is that you don't have to go to the pole to see them. In fact you shouldn't! They're strongest in a lopsided circle around the magnetic pole. Since the magnetic pole is in somewhere in Canada, you see the Northern Lights much farther south in the US and Canada than in Europe. And you can see them on summer nights! Where I live, we never see them in the summer, because the sun never sets.
Duty calls. Gotta run.

SC Janet - the trouble w an afternoon start time is that night socialization tends to be at bars. I'm the world's cheapest drunk, so I don't drink much if at all, and people who did kept trying to change my mind.0

For midnight munchies, what about a big bowl of fruit and yogurt? Buy the 32-oz tubs of Damon light and fit Greek vanilla. Dump 1 cup yog and 1 cup fruit in a bowl. Mix. My favorite is frozen cherries, which don't seem to freeze hard, and are soft enough to eat almost immediately. Plus they freeze the yog around them to an almost faux-ice-cream state,
A whole package of steam able veg is about 120 cal and another big bowlful.
If all else fails, try cutting the chicken breast in half. Put half in the fridge and see if the other calms your stomach.
