Hello I am jumping in. I am over 50 with 10/12 pounds to go, a restarter on MFP, love to garden and be out in the yard. Of course this isn’t me but.. I can dream. 🙂 fc from az
Hi ... I'm also in my 50s.
And I've recently discovered, to my surprise, that I like gardening. By recently, I mean, just a few months!

Hello everyone. I am new to the MFP community and found your group today. Wanted to post a quick intro since I will be bookmarking this thread.
I'm Renee, 51 yo, happily married almost 19 years to Chris, 46. We live in Central Virginia, no kids.
I used to be on sparkpeople before it shut down and had great success there with tracking and workouts. Started at 319 and ended at 152. Ultimately decided that was too low for me, but I am currently 7 pounds in to losing 25 I picked up while not being careful enough on meds. That will put me in the low 180s, where I was happiest.
I can't go back to read the full month at once, but will look forward to getting to know you going forward. I am very dedicated to my health and will be a permanent fixture on MFP. I don't know how to send friend requests, but if anyone wants to reach out at any point, that would be welcome.
Happy Easter!
Renee in central Virginia
Well done on the loss!2 -
Hello Everyone!
In the past I have set myself so many goals that I simply do not meet, so I have decided to be a little kinder to myself.
My goal is to simply be mindful. Consider what I eat and why; listen and love my body and live in the moment.
Thank you Barbie for a place to share our thoughts and feelings,
Kathleen in AB CA
Hi Kathleen, love your post! I lived in Alberta for 9 years, both Calgary and Lethbridge. Both my husband and I are dual U.S/Canadians. We're in Virginia again right now to be closer to my mom.
When I get off my phone and onto the computer, I'm right clicking that image. Thanks for sharing!

Hello fellow Albertans.
I lived quite a chunk of my life in various parts of Alberta.
But now I'm in Australia.

Today begins three days of a neighborhood dumpster and yard waste event. Jake got a huge burst of energy on Sunday and cleared out things in the garage that have been sitting there doing nothing since we moved into this house in 2011. I have been working in the yard and boxing and bagging yard waste so we'll have a lot to get rid of in this easy spring cleaning event. We don't have a pickup truck so Jake borrowed a small tarp to lay in the back of our SUV. it will take several trips but the garage will look so much better. We finally decided to buy a table and chairs for the patio. Until now, we have been content with a standing umbrella and four canvas fold up chairs. Jake is the one who likes to sit outside and he has visions of sitting around the table with friends. I go outside to walk dogs or to work so the table won't be much use to me. We have rarely had people over and the pandemic has made visitors even less likely but I have to remember that life is not all about me.
We had two hailstorms last week that left the ground white. The picture below was taken in April a few years ago but looks like it could have been taken last week.

ALLIE ~ Why are you having to put the car seat in every time you drive Miles? Why not just leave the car seat in the car? Unless, I guess I'm thinking that you don't have your own car seat and are using theirs. When I kept my two grands their first year, we had two car seats in our car that were fixtures.
NEW LADIES....Welcome to you all.
Carol in GA who is going to see about hearing aids today...Wish me luck!

Carol, Good luck checking out hearing aids. Would you share what you find out? I know I need to check out the possibilities, too.
Welcome to everyone new. This is a safe group to gather information and share trials and successes. I'm trying to come to grips with my DH dying recently. My life has been a struggle the last three weeks. I know I'll muddle through this but some days are really awful... and then some days are better than others. At the beginning I felt broken, like I was in pieces and would never come together. I don't feel broken now, I feel an emptiness/sadness that is tugging at me. I'm venturing out today to lunch with women friends for the first time. I'm looking forward to it and also I'm a bit anxious.

Betsy enjoy your lunch. You don't have to be charming or even speak up, just going is a big step. Take care.
Carol brava for trying the hearing aids! My father has them. My only tip is that some dogs love ear wax, so they will chew on hearing aids. Be careful where you leave them.
It's lovely to have so many new people! It's a beautiful spring day here, and I am stuck resting my bum knee. I quit my knitting, and I don't read much anymore, so there are days when I need a new hobby. I do meditate and study Buddhism a little. I loved yoga until the lunges got me. I'm expecting some thyroid blood work results soon. Until then I will likely take another nap.

Tech is great when it works. When I switched on my iPhone this morning the screen had frozen. Spent several frustrating hours trying to sort it out. I’ll spare you the details. Finally found a work round via Google. It was so simple! Should’ve googled it right away and saved myself a lot of angst.
Didn’t fix my present diffs with MFP. I’m still trying to get all the info they asked for together this afternoon.dlfk202000 wrote: »sitting here waiting to hear from one of my best friends(we have been friends since junior high) .

DH came back in a very good mood from his date with Max. They went to a different restaurant that my son recommended, opposite the i360. It is in a historic, listed, building and is a little 'old school', with really nice waiters etc. They both had fish and chips. My son gave DH money for Max's lunch. Max talked non-stop for two and a half hours.
We will definitely go there together sometime soon. No music.
I wrote 700+ words and copied out two poems, so a very good morning. My lunch was half a sachet of Mexican black beans, extra chilli sauce, rice and a huge heap of chopped, mixed salad on the top with lemon juice. Yummo!
Then I rang G for a nice chat.
Dinner is sea bass, mushy peas, and broccoli. Potatoes for DH. He said he was quite happy to eat fish twice in one day!
Done my rowing, while listening to a podcast. Now for a nap.

Nice to meet you! That wasn't me either, but I have a yearning to visit my homeland, and there is a dairy farm in Trondhiem, Norway where they'll take you in and let you stay a spell if you're family!
I need to lose about 90 lbs but it'll take some time, didn't get on my body overnight, so I don't expect it to just fall off me!

Hi You also! That would be amazing to visit, there is a dream that can turn to reality! You have the best reasons to lose, a beautiful place to live and a darling granddaughter.

Maybe, we aren't rich folks, but live within our means. My husband left the workforce fairly early at 51 yrs old, because of his liver. In 2014 he was able to receive a complete liver transplant🙏💖. So I appreciate just seeing him healthy now. We are quite homebodys! Traveling just kind of puts a hiccup in my life.🙃😁. Yes my Athena is my sweetpea, and I'm her Mimi.💖

I think the last 2 years has made more homebodies than not. Glad your DH is healthy!

Jake has gone to the local cardiology center for a nuclear stress test that should take a few hours. The hard part for him was no caffeine for 24 hours (no coffee, no chocolate). I am enjoying a rare few hours with the house to myself.
Carol, good luck with the hearing aids. Having good quality ones will make a huge difference in your life.
Betsy, just show up at lunch and do what you find. Let your friends reach out to you.
Allie, you have taken on a huge challenge with your two grandchildren. I wish you the best.
