Good morning everyone! How ya all doing? I am good. We had to look for another Jeep ours is on the way out. Hubby found a nice one so we are going to sign papers and drive it home. So all that said I had a reason to dress up a little. I can still wear my jeans!! I haven’t had jeans on since this virus started! Woo hoo! Well everyone have a great day!🤓💖🌹🌷🦋3

Hello new friends. I've had the MFP app for some time but just discovered this forum. I'm 61, single, cooped up working at home with two dogs. Zoom classes aren't the same as the gym. But congrats to anyone whose jeans still fit after this past two months!6

Linda, congrats on the Jeep. I wondered who was buying the vehicles that are endlessly advertised on TV.
Welcome to anyone who is new on this thread. It helps me to check in with like minded people. It keeps me on track each day.
I had a great walk in the sunshine with my friend and the dogs but now rain is threatening. I'm hoping it will hold off long enough for me to walk the dogs this afternoon and then pull weeds for awhile. Then I'll welcome the rain to water my plants.
I am very grateful for my recumbent exercise bike that allows me to be active indoors even when we have rain.

Hello all, welcome to new comers, I still feel like a new comer myself. I like reading all your posts but there's nothing much new here so I don't post much. A few things are new: husband built a new enclosure for our water heater which is attached to the side of our house outside. I can't believe he did it all in one day. He's very handy & can do just about everything but doesn't do as much as before due to getting older & more achy. He hates to paint so I'm going to paint it. Still have some left over paint from our house. The next thing will be to put a new fence up facing the street. It's ok, but needs a face lift. Next week by Monday the summer is starting...102 degrees, UGH. Every year I try to find something new or do something different to stay cooler. This winter we put a curtain with backing in our kitchen going out to back yard. There's a small "hallway" between the doorway & outside door where our pantry is. The doggie door is getting worn out & lets in air. It made a big different so we got a nicer looking "curtain" that's made for this with the magnets that close up the middle. We had to move our pantry food from there due to the heat so I cleaned out couple book shelves in our built in cabinet in living room & moved the pantry food there. One of our son's gave us a bigger/newer window air conditioner for the kitchen so all that should help & I bought one of those neckless fans lol. I think my gym should open up soon but I'm not going till I feel it's safe but I love the outdoor pool there so I may go just in there, I don't know yet. I'm purposely not mentioning my dogs since I know I talk way too much about them because we lost one, one will be lost this year & the younger one is still getting over pneumonia but it has taken over a lot of my thinking & emotions. I've been doing well on eating deficit for over a week because no matter what happens, I don't want to gain all the 50 lbs back I lost. for the new ppl, I lost 50 lbs, kept it off over a year then gained 10 lbs after I quit smoking & mfp said I need to eat 1200 cal/day to lose 1 lbs/wk, which is way too little for me so I set it at 1/2 lb wk for 1500 cal but I was so used to eating 1777 to maintain so it's been difficult plus I gained 4 more lbs during the time I had extremely painful pinched nerve & could do nothing for about 3 weeks then my dog got pneumonia so I couldn't go for my 2 mile walks with her. Sorry this is so long, I'll save the rest for later. Have a good day everyone. I'd love to hear how you're all doing on your eating journey4

Hello, y'all. The rain continues in Idaho. Was up in the wooded country today - everything is vibrant green right now. Still managing to walk the dog in between downpours. It will end soon and the hot, dry summer will be upon us.
On a positive note - I went on a family vacation in January. Eat, drink and be merry - yada, yada, yada. Weight spiked up a few pounds, as expected. Got back on the program and I am down 13+ pounds in the last 16 weeks. Have been below my June 30 goal once already and will have average trend weight below that goal by that date if I hang in there. Diet has not been as good as it needs to be (still the occasional chocolate binge), but I'll take the progress and keep working on the food intake.2 -
We went food shopping today early in the morning. Everybody gets used to social distancing. So, I had my cart and had to wait for 45 min for the store to open. Sun was shining, the temperature was somewhere in mid 50th and I started to walk around the cart for 45 min. Can you imagine I did 5129 steps? Not bad. Not bad at all. I'm a happy camper today.
Also, I started a strict recording of my calorie intake again - I had gained about 10 lbs sitting home doing practically nothing. I'm a binge eater and if I slack on the recording, I gain weight. Today is the 3rd day with total control of my eating. Feels good.
Best Regards to everybody.5 -
Hello all and welcome to the new folks reporting. It's been so nice reading all the positive thoughts and actions from our group. I've been staying in for 9 weeks now and will head out tomorrow morning to Hatteras Island, NC for the vacation rental home I really didn't think would happen this year. That county has today opened Phase 2, which includes restaurants at 50% capacity but not bars. I will meet my kids and grandchildren there who have been staying home in their own states. We will continue to social distance, wear masks in public and wash hands frequently. We're bringing in our supplies and linens so that we won't need to shop except at the local seafood store and will pick up take out restaurant food to help support the local economy. Games, art supplies, books and beach gear are packed and I'm quite excited to be with the family and take my first walk across the dune and along the Atlantic tide line of the wide uncrowded beaches. Looks like the weather there will be improving and should be a great vacation staying safe in the lovely rental home.
I've weighed in early for next week and am pleased that during the pandemic have lost 5 pounds. Slow loss is my goal and I'll be getting in more steps while away. The houses all are built on stilts with reverse floor plan living areas on the third floor. Hot tub should help with the achy knees. I'll eat what I want, just not as much, track food and exercise and hope to return home with nothing but wonderful memories of precious time with family. Today I'm baking the pineapple upside down cake I promised the grandkids for my cancelled Easter trip.
Take care all, stay safe and be good to yourselves . We're all good at social distancing now and life can be FUN.
Friend Hugs. Om……..

Good morning, raining in Southern Maryland today. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed about "exercise" and shutting down because of everything I wanted to do but can't due to physical restrictions. So, I decided to change that mindset this week and instead focus on what I can do ... it is a start and mentally I felt so much better! The things I can do will hopefully grow into more complex physical activity (i.e., like a marathon). I had a minor biopsy done on a suspicious dark spot on the bottom of my foot. The PA doesn't expect negative news, and neither do I but rather be safe than sorry later. It is amazing how a small cut hurts when one tries to even stand or walk, lol. So, will have to give it time to heal. I woke up today and decided this is not going to hold me back, and will do "chair" exercises! That's something I can do! I will heal and get back to business! Hope everyone has a blessed day!6

Lynne Finding out what you can do is a great plan. It's so easy to blame circumstance for not being active. I wish you a good recovery so you be back on your feet soon.
j29t Your vacation sounds delightful and well planned. Enjoy every minute of it.
My plans today include the regular dog walking along with an hour of line dancing with my walking friend and take out Chinese food for lunch. I always have broccoli in garlic sauce with brown rice.
