You are so funny! I could read every word!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Good luck, Connie! I am interested to know how it goes.:flowerforyou:
Sandy, I admire any and all who watch football, baseball, basketballl...the only sport I enjoy on tv is ice skating. I watch that during the Olmpics and that's the extent of my sport viewing. My husband and my sons "burned me out" on even watching basketball, which is a big deal in our state. :noway: :noway: :noway:
When I am at someone's house, who only knows about espn and sports is all they know to talk about...I just about pace the floor. So you have my admiration!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: ps...that is one way to get me moving..:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I don't watch much tv at all. I have watched more in the last 2 nights than I have in 6 mos. I tell you what it causes me to do...eat. I don't know what it is...sublimal messages ..or what...but watching tv makes me want to eat and snack. Is it preprogramming of the brain ..sort of like popcorn and a movie??
Okay, I am going to quit rambling ......
Have a good Sunday!0 -
Bored with football, going to change the station. My husband is sleeping soundly on the couch pretending to watch the game. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0

Hi everyone! I can,t let the day close without sending my wishes to Barbie and Jake for a Happy Anniversary!! I know that you did.
Please be extra careful on those roads, Phoebe.
I will enjoy seeing pictures of your handiwork when you are done. Such talented people here!
Take care and keep smiling. Gayla0 -
Just trying mfp on my cell phone. Marie, its not too bad, may not have time daily,but I'll be able to check in sometimes.
Good night for now0 -

Bored?? You can't be watching the Packer/Falcon game!! Oh, wait - I see the time on your post. It hadn't even started.
My guys shot THEIR birds out of the air - Falcons were falling all over the field. Let's see what your Bears can do tomorrow!!:drinker:
PS: Didja see the cheeseheads in the crowd??0 -
Hello All,
Barbie and Jake--Happy Anniversary!!!
Phoebe--Stay safe on the road. Glad you discovered you can access the message boards w/your smart phone.
Sorry Sandy, but I gotta say "GO SEAHAWKS!!! If they managed to put the bears into hibernation for the rest of the winter, that would mean another game in Seattle, since Green Bay sent the Falcons "packing"--(couldn't help myself--too good a pun to pass up!!) LOL
I am thinking about trying to get tickets to that "next" game, if Seattle does win tomorrow. The NFC Championship is as close as I will ever get to attending a Super Bowl Game, and I have never been to an NFL game.
BTW, for anyone who wants to avoid those pesky typo's, if you download the google toolbar, you can choose the spellcheck tool to be active on it, and then every time you type anything within a web page (IE a message board post) you can check it before you post it and make corrections. For what that is worth.....
Good night all,
Barb0 -
GO BEARS!!!
No offense to anyone, but I have to cheer the Bears on today!!!!0 -

Happy Anniversary, BARBIE and Jake!
Connie, Slim Fast is loaded with sugar. I learned since throwing out my money that I should make sure there is more protein than sugar. Try Chobani Greek plain yogurt, 1/4 cup low sodium cottage cheese and 1/cup berries instead! Eat at least 1200 cals per day, and around 90 g protein!
Now, I hope this works here, but this is the greatest picker upper I've received. If it doesn't work, I'll email it to connie!

I was hoping it would link, but copy and paste it in your address bar! Such fun!
BOOGIEWOOGIE.wmv
If you can take your eyes off her, the male dancer is super . . . never moves his shoulders compared to what his feet and knees are doing. And the top of his tays at the same height no matter what.
This is a pianist from Switzerland who plays some of the best Boogie Woogie anywhere. He is so BIG over there, they hold a week-long Boogie Woogie contest every year and all the best players in the world are invited. In this video he is joined by 2 amazing dancers... The male dancer even has a haircut from the forties.
Turn up the volume, watch and give it a listen!0 -
Forget it. It didn't work!0

Go Seahawks
Sorry Barbie!!!! But I am Happy!!0 -
Marie, I hope you feel better. Let us know.....:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I know everyone can't win so I am caught in the middle with wishing all of you Luck!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Hi everyone from, you know it, the frigid North!! I am sitting here wrapped in a blanket with my eyes drooping so I am heading up to bed right away. We were washing walls today and doing some prep work for painting so I am tired. I think I may have used a few calories! Dave did most of the work but I did feel tired after so I think it has to count for something.
Marie -- Get well soon!
Barbie -- I will be thinking about you as you drink your 'beverage'!! Good luck with the colonoscopy. I am sure it will be fine.
Take care everyone and keep smiling. Gayla (off to dreamland)

I will be going to the mall to meet my sisters this morning and have lunch at the food court. I have no idea what to eat so I'm going to sneak something along with me just in case. Lord Help Me!!!! :ohwell:0

There is probably nothing you can eat at the food court that will come close to healthy eating
my solution to situations like this is to tell my friends that I'll meet them for activities and events that don't involve eating. I go shopping and do errands with them and then go home and eat the lunch I planned for myself or I meet them for a walk but not with food at the end:laugh: 0 -
Happy Monday!! It is snowing AGAIN!!! Good day to stay in, exercise and work on converting my VHS home movie to a DVD.
Sorry to you Seahawk fans. But I am excited about the Bears and Packers playing as I am sure Connie is also. :bigsmile: The last time they played each other in a playoff game was in 1941 (even before I was born) Bears 33, Packers 14, BTW!!! We in the Chicago area all have MONSTER HYPE!!!! I am not into football and hardly watch any games but this is exciting and I am routing for a Super Bowl win!!!
Barbie, good luck on your test tomorrow and I hope you get a "clean" bill of health!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Marie, hope you are feeling better, please let us know what the doctor says or have your daughter give us a heads up.
Maddy, hmmm food court probably the best would be something Chinese, but I really don't know since I rarely eat fast food. :ohwell:
Spending time with your sisters should be fun, I love to be with my sister. :bigsmile:
Gayla, you are getting your Spring cleaning done early, good for you. How is our boy Neil, any changes??
Lynn, don't worry about hurting anyone's feelings, I think we are grownups who know how to play fair, aren't we???? :blushing:
To everyone else, I have forgotten what all the other posts said but know that I read them and enjoy all of them. I wish you a great day!!0 -
Maddie, don't know what your food court has. If there is a chick filet, that have a wonderful side salad or grilled chicken salad and they have fruit cups...small, medium and large. Their salad is a good green salad with Romaine Lettuce.
Good Luck!0 -
I was interrupted by DH. If you have a Wendy's, they have some good salad choices and offer half orders. I don't eat dressing on my salads, haven't for over 8 years now. I don't miss it. I try to pick salad choices that offer Romaine. When I order, I ask them to give me the greenest one they see. You can also ask that they leave ingredients off that you don't like or would add cals that you don't want.
Good Luck!:flowerforyou:
Gayla~we are having a break in our winter weather... I still love the snow.:flowerforyou: We have cold weather and snow predicted for later in the week. My grandson just came in to give me a kiss. He and DH are going to get a haircut and he was freezing cold to the touch.
It was worth it for the kiss.:laugh:
Marie- I hope you are better!:flowerforyou:
Barbie-Good Luck!:flowerforyou:
Sandy-thanks for relieving my mind In our state basketball is a big, big deal. You have Louisville Cardinals and Kentucky Wildcats and you are either for one or the other...no in between. When they play each other...it's a major event. You know where most everyone is at during this time. At the game or in front of the tv. DH(and sons) always watch the Super Bowl.
DH just helped the grandson(6) to build a birdhouse from the kit he received for Christmas. It was a feeder and house combined. He received a tool bench and real tools(like Grandad's) for Christmas. He was so excited. He thought it might save any bird eggs from dropping on to the ground and killing the baby birds...he told me he saw one like that when he was about four. To him, that was the main purpose for this project.
Buzz- was glad to see you on here. Hope you are doing well:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I can't go without telling you a story on myself and my family. Every year we go on Veteran's Day and shop. We go to Louisville, where there is a 3 -story Macy's, Dillards ,Penneys, etc.. and a two story Kohls.
We had shopped all day during this particular event. We decided to go to Sam's Club last. There were six of us. I usually drive because I usually have a suv or van. However, my sister, at this time had a buick and thought the trunk was big enough for all our stuff. (what were we thinking??:bigsmile: ) There were six of us.
We all went into Sam's and came out with our carts all full. We roll them up to the car and stop and look at each other, All six of us, at the same time, realize that we have a full trunk and there are six of us where is all this stuff going??. :laugh:
This is six women, who have crunched numbers, taught school, some graduated head of their class, organized events, etc...
We all just started laughing...so there are six women in the parking lot at Sam's, 8:30 at night all of us laughing until we had to hang on to our carts to just stand up. :laugh: :laugh: People were giving us a wide berth, they didn't know whether we were crazy, drunk or both.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: We finally got ourselves straightened up enough to load the car. It was in the trunk, in our laps, beside us and in the floor board. We went through a drive-in window, you should have seen the looks on those peoples' faces. :laugh: :laugh: We laughed for an hour and a half on our way back home. It was a crazy time and I still laugh when I think of it. The looks on our faces, the peoples faces who were there ...well it was priceless. :laugh: :laugh: Needless to say, we drive 2 vehicles and I always have one going because of what I drive.
Have a good one and hope you have a least one good laugh!! 0 -
Thanks for all the advice. What I ended up doing was taking a 5 oz packet of salmon, a clementine and a quaker 100 cal. bar. They ate, I ate, everyone was happy!!
Lynn, you are a crazy person and I want to come hang out with you! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I did enjoy the time with my sisters but this particular mall has lost a lot of its pizzaz. We went there because it's in the middle of where we all live. The company was the important thing and I found a pair of shoes! First ones I picked up...never happens...have big, wide feet!! :sad:
Calie: Do you feel better today? :frown:
And, I lost another 1.5 lbs but I'm not officially posting until Thursday!!!! :blushing:0 -
So my Slim Fast experiment was only a moderate success. I did see another 1 pound loss but this morning I am so bloated that the pound that was lost seems to have been found. I'm going to take it anyway as I did see it on the scale so I know it will appear again. I hate to let a week go by without any downward movement.
After the scolding we all got from Maddie, I'm going to see if she is right and this week, eat every calorie I'm allowed and/or earn through exercise. I've already begun with a 300+ calorie breakfast which is twice what I normally have. A mushroom omelette, whole wheat pita bread and glass of no-sugar added orange juice adds up quickly.
I know my biggest problem is night time. Last night I went to bed knowing I was more than 500 calories under my allotment so when I woke up in the middle of the night I used that as an excuse to binge. Too much Chex Mix (sodium galore), orange juice, peanuts - no wonder I'm bloated this morning. I have no will power I guess. I don't mean to do it but once I start there is no stopping me - like a run away train. I woke up on the sofa, television on, about 5:30 this morning and sheepishly returned to bed.

I didnt' mean scold anyone. I just want everyone to be healthy. You have just proven part of what I was saying, you didn't eat your calories and you were hungry....that's what happens. If you space your food out all the way from morning till evening, you will do much better. When you are starving, you eat way more than you really want. It's a cycle. I'm glad you're going to give eating a chance. I think you'll like it! Good food with vitamins and fiber and flavor....:flowerforyou:0

Nice to pop in and try to read everything, and thanks, Lynn, hope to be able to stay regularly soon! Darn elderly eyes; how can they have gotten this way when I still feel like a kid...sometimes!!! :ohwell:
My nutritionist got me on the right track when she insisted I eat an entire 1200 calories every day! I guess I had lost all knowledge of what 1200 calories looks like until I stumbled on my fitnesspal.com! I could not believe how much food there was to be consumed every meal, and how my body had gained at least 35 pounds trying to conserve energy! I lost around 14 lbs, but stopped coming to MFP around Christmas time, as my eyes got more and more blurry! Without printing up MY FOOD every single day, I slid somewhere along the line, and am adding and losing the last 3 pounds constantly. Luckily, I have an appointment this Thursday with Catherine, my nutritionist/goddess and hopefully she will get me back on track! ... funny, my measurements seem slightly down (Clothes a bit looser) so I can't figure, but I'll post her solutions for Connie and everyone else who hit the wall!
We are on tornado watch here in S FL; we need rain badly, but today is unbelievably gloomy. At 70 degrees, I cannot complain, though :noway:
Gotta post my food now, before my sight has disappeared...crazy, non? love you all..:flowerforyou:
