Diane: Hi.1

Good afternoon, everyone! It's a cool and cloudy day here today. My daughter says hello to all. She's working at her part time job today. My fiance says hello to everyone. He gets to come home next Monday for two weeks. Then he has to go back to the hospital. He's happy and nervous about it. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I went for a short run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I went for a walk after lunch and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing later on. I'm all caught up with my laundry. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.0

@Patti241, How did you like the Winter Challenge?
@Cormierannie, Can I throw in my laundry? PLEASE!!!1 -
Hi everyone, from Tasmania, Australia. I am busting to start this challenge! I think I will have a Dry April to help as I think my glass or 2 of wine at the end of the day is using up too many valuable calories that would be better spent on nutrition. It's rarely any more than that, but it's an enjoyable habit that I think is holding me back from losing weight.
I am hoping this challenge will get me off to a good start on my quest to get back to my happy weight. I am currently 18 kg over that weight. It just keeps gradually going up. I think the problem was losing too much weight very quickly 17 years ago. I love playing golf & am playing twice a week at the moment & I walk our dog every day.
If anyone wants to add me as a friend here, please do

Good afternoon all, happy Friday. Yesterday was busy plus computer problems which are not solved but at least I can use it. It is chilly and is raining on and off. Nothing else too new. Have a great rest of the day .

@CateAussie, WELCOME to the 5% Challenge!! Many enjoy wine, I am not sure how they do that and stay in calorie range. Perhaps someone can answer this? @Kurtize?
@Patti241, we have many new ones with us this challenge. What would you like to give them for a little bit of advice or why you enjoy the 5% Challenge? Please. THANKS!
@Macrat12 same, Sarah what piece of advice would you like to give to a new member? THANKS!
@Kurtize, same question and GOOD DAY!! Oh man on Weds the computer issues many of us had on MFP was MFP and not our computers, but sites need to be updated to stay current and we totally appreciate that!! It was rainy and chili here today also. Tomorrow it'll be in the 50s (our high used to be this time of year 39! Our low is normally 24, well not any more. I MISS SNOW!!1 -
@Macrat12 Sarah TY TY TY GREAT ADVICE!!
Mine is to please remember what we eat is 80% Of what we lose, is exercise important? Absolutely!! It's 20% of the weight we lose (In general) but it also tightens up our muscles, and helps us with digestion and being able to move easier into a healthier life. WE ARE WHAT WE EAT!0 -
For those interested, Aldi’s carries a very nice sugar free wine.
The winter challenge was a washout for me. My motivation went into hibernation, and I lost nothing. Must shake up my routine next round.2 -
Aloha! E Komo Mai! (welcome) to everyone for a brief In-Between Challenge! I see some familiar faces from SP and other groups. (Lucy)1

@Macrat12, WOOHOO Love a day off!! Hope you got some ME TIME!
@Sableness , Is the wine sour or did they use another type of sweetner? I don't drink, just curious. I am so sorry it was a hard winter for many. When I go through what you are, I start as if all over with tracking my food, and drinking water. These always seem to refocus me. TY TY For posting, we do care.
@lavalily , So great to see you here!! WELCOME Lily!! With quite the smile on my face at that!
@Kurtize, seems I met you today!! Hehehehe!! We are both leaders on one of the teams. Joyce is a new leader and was going through some training today. She's a LOVELY Lady and awww Kayla (her sweet dog!) is way to cute!! LOL She tried so hard to sit with you, I was giggling inside!! Izzy was still watching (one of my cats of 2)
@CateAussie , We are thrilled to have you here with us as you start to head into FALL!! Does it get cold where you are? Many of us are heading into SPRING. Though there are other members who also are heading towards fall also.1 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 and @CateAussie: I think the sugar free wine at Aldi’s is quite good, and I’d say it’s a medium red, not too dry, not too sweet. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it. My friend who likes only sweet wines adds Splenda to hers. 😬 Aldi’s also has fabulous eggnog wine around American Thanksgiving in November. It is not sugar free, and it’s way too tasty!
@Dianedoessmiles1: thanks for the support. I gave some thought to what works for me, and tracking is the first thing along with NEE, No Evening Eating. Only Eve gets evening treats. The little rascal is going through a picky spell again, and it’s an ongoing challenge to feed Her Highness acceptable meals.1 -
It doesn’t get too cold where I live thank goodness. I wish we had an Aldi in Tassie but have just ordered some AF wine from a large bottle shop & will pick it up before we visit our son & his partner next weekend.
Thanks for the welcomes. It is making me even keener to start!2 -
Good morning,
After so much rain here in Pa, I am happy to say yesterday was sunny and today is starting off that way.
I just wanted to say hello and have a great day.1 -
I’ve tracked my breakfast, kept it light knowing there’ll be a splendid picnic buffet at the memorial service/St Patrick’s Day party I’m going to this afternoon. I’m wondering how the large family will handle the no alcohol rule for county parks. I managed to French braid my hair, haven’t done that for awhile. I’m wearing small shamrock earrings and my mom’s jade necklace.2

We had so much rain but needed this winter in California but it's been lovely weather the past week & 70's this coming week. I've been able to spend much time outside walking my dogs, taking them to the parks & cleaning the patio. I finally got rid of all the leaves but forgot till my husband reminded me that our patio cover in full of leaves still so I'm cleaning it off today ugh. I've become a little bit lazy in tracking lately so getting back to it1
-
Good afternoon, hope your day is going well. Met @Dianedoessmiles1 yesterday via zoom. Looking forward to meeting the other leaders on the team on zoom Monday. This is a new adventure for me.
Happy St Patrick's day.

@Sableness LOL Did you know when you answer someone and do not hit POST it doesn't work? OOOPS I did that last night!! SO SORRY!!! I forgot to hit POST REPLY!!! OH I ADORE Egg nog, but yeah it takes to much of a toll!! I look for a small container of it and try to stick to just that!! I had done the No Evening Eating also, but I do not go to bed til 2-2:30 AM. I used to work til 11:30. If I eat right before 10 PM I do so much better, of course, that means leaving enough calories for 10 PM! Awww HI Eve!!! Izzy and Oscar do also. Did you know I got Oscar? It's been a year, he was 9 months old when he adopted me. Izzy (Brown/black tabby) Oscar is the orange one. Izzy is 14, she was NOT happy, but has adjusted.
@CateAussie, ENJOY the wine, so glad you are with us!! Its a great way to lose weight and not on our own, with guidance and support!!
@Dgrodis , Oh I get that!! I live in Maine! We surpassed all rain records by the 6th of March. I think we are all growing DUCK FEET!! If you'd like to send the rain from PA in another direction,, LOL We'd thank you!!! WELCOME to the SPRING 5% Challenge!!
@Macrat12, here's something I did today and reading your quote reminded me of it.
A question for ALL Of us!
***** What would your older self say to your younger self?*****
I'd tell younger self "Diane, life is not fair, you already know this. BUT what you do not know is how strong you are!! And you are!! Believe in yourself and love yourself. If you can learn now to love yourself, it'll save you much heartache later on. However, those trails are making you very strong. In the end Diane, believe me, you are going to be so strong and happy! WAIT TIL YOU SEE THIS!"
@Evamutt, I've felt so bad for CA this year!! WOW!! I have friends north Sacramento and also of Chico, it's been unreal!! I hope this cuts way down on the fires. LOVE LOVE LOVE the dogs and WOOHOO on cleaning up the yard!
@Kurtize you are a HOT TICKET!! TY TY TY TY for stepping up to being a leader with our team Positively Strong 4 Life!! Joyce is so sweet and kind, for those new to the 5% Challenge this is exactly we look for in leaders!! Always ask (once on your team) your leaders ANY Questions you have. The only foolish question there is, is the one that's not asked!!

Happy Monday all. It is a beautiful day. Sat outside and had my tea and read a bit. Tomorrow both Don and I have a dr. appt with our new dr. here in Amarillo. Other than that nothing new or exciting.
I thought this was a great article and I wanted to Share: 4 Ways to Slow Down and be Mindful, by Chonteau McElvin.

Good morning everyone.1

We had our first visit with our new dr. He is very nice and both of us liked him. He ran the usual blood work and I will be scheduled for a vascular test. Other than that not much new here, weather is nice, slight breeze. Hugs all and hope you have a great rest of the day. For the 1st day of spring not bad.
But here you never know what tomorrow will bring.
hugs and blessings

@Dianedoessmiles1 before I got laid off, I got off at 11:30 too for years but I used to get to bed asap after I got home. I was never a night person & got up at 8, walked the dogs & made dinner before work. Even though I'm not working late anymore, I still tend to stay up till 11:30. Love your kitties
I would tell my younger self to go to nursing school. I've tried so many times after I started having kids & I always had to stop going to college due to different things. But I did end up working in ICU in a hospital but not as a nurse. I could have worked a couple days a month while my kids were small & made needed $$ for us to help support my husband having to support us all0 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a great day. Today we have free food for lunch today and I was able to convince people to eat somewhere healthy instead of junk. We all decided on subway for employee appreciation day. It is pretty cool. So I am so ready for that lunch. It will be great.
@Kurtize - Was yesterday the first day of spring? I don't even pay attention anymore. Isn't it sad. It was so cold and windy yesterday. I am hoping it is, but some areas are still getting snow.
@Evamutt - Sometimes things don't always go as planned. Life has a way of taking control.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.
