    Happy Wednesday!! :bigsmile: Bingo Night!! :bigsmile:

    Our dinner was wonderful with great friends, I had bass and it was delicious. I think I stayed under my calories since I gained over 500 with exercise, but I am never exactly sure how many calories are in restaurant foods. The wine used up a lot of calories but since it took me 5 years to get these friends to go to dinner, it was worth it. :tongue:

    Welcome Judi, we welcome you with open arms and big mouths. :laugh: I believe you are the third member from the UK on our thread and we love hearing your accents from your words. :laugh: Good luck on your weigh in and keep coming back. :bigsmile:

    Maddie, I love Glee and I ride my stationary bike while watching it, the music does pump me up!! :tongue:

    Lynn, that is one funny story and one that will be passed down from generation to generation. :laugh: It is so true what we say to little ones, they take it to heart and we have to be careful what we say. :noway:

    L E....love that new signature. :love: I think those grand kids will keep you both trim and young. :bigsmile: If you have Comcast on Demand you can go to their exercise channel and see a sample of zumba, it is a fast moving dance, that I think would be too hard on my knees, but you would probably love it.

    Connie, I am jealous of your warm weather and the start of spring with the beautiful flowers. I don't plant any flowers until after Memorial Day since we can never be sure we won't get any freezing. :grumble: I don't have any perennial flowers, all of my flowers go in planters. :ohwell:

    Xyla, I plan on another 3 miles with Leslie today, just have to get myself motivated. :tongue:

    Judz, you sure were a busy girl this morning, you must be resting tonight, at least I think it is night there. :noway:

    Marilyn, hope your birthday was great, mine is coming soon although we could skip it. :laugh:

    Buzz, you are more than a delight, you and Marie are just our golden sweethearts. :heart:

    Marie, you are doing great on your new food plan, it sounds like it works for you!! :drinker:

    Barbie, it is amazing to me that you can reach 10,000 steps everyday, that is a lot of walking. I am doing the walking challenge but only committed to 100 miles for the month of March. I will work my way up as the weather gets warmer and I can walk outside with Daisy. :wink:

    Gayla, did Dave even know you were sulking? Sometimes we spite ourselves to spite those men. :laugh: I hope Neils voice was a temporary setback and it continues to get stronger everyday. :heart: Good work on the Mall walking, you are doing a great job. :flowerforyou:

    Phoebe, you are posting when we are all sleeping, I hope you got some sleep yourself. :yawn:

    Barb, don't you even think of not posting, you have been soooooo missed and as Phoebe said you are a VIP!! (go ahead and figure something out for those initials) :laugh:

    Wow, it sure takes a long time to try and acknowledge everyone, I just hope I didn't forget anyone and if I did I apologize. :glasses:

    Time to move and groove.

    Thankyou for the welcome ladies! I lost 1 1/2 lbs this morning which was a boost. I upped my exercise last month which slowed my losses right down, but that seems to have passed. You'd have all laughed watching me doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred this afternoon. I had 2 bras, my normal one and then my sports bra over the top of my vest, plus some control knickers, to stop everything going in all directions when I did the jumping jacks!:noway: I can't do them all, so I march on the spot for abit. I hate that woman :angry: but the results seem to be worth the effort. I'll let you know!

    I have done the 30 day shred although not for 30 days. :laugh: It is great but a little hard on my knees, I think I got sciatica and had to stop doing it so maybe I should try it again, I do know I felt really good after one session. :bigsmile:

    I dont have any of Jillian Michaels stuff. I just figured it would be too much for me.
    Judi, yes, truthfully I would have laughed at the sight of you with two bras andyou would have had to collapse on the floor laughing if I had tried to do a jumping jack!
    Sandy, wow, 100 miles seems like a lot of walking. It makes me wonder though, how far is 10000 steps?
    maddie, where do you get all of your artwork? Be safe today.
    i dont know what is blooming at home, but I told dh it will be time to mow the onions when we get back! We have moreonions growing than weeds. Or would they be weeds too?
    marie, you must be shopping, have fun.
    lynn, kids are the best!
    elli, I love your baby photo there in your profile, she takes after her Gran!
    Barbie, the cats are probably saying 'here we go again!'

    I did 4551 steps for the Leslie walk and that was 3.44 miles.....so I presume 10,000 is around 6 miles. And Barbie does that every day, makes me tired just thinking about it. :laugh:

    Hi everyone! One of my MFP friends told me how great this group was so I figured I should join in. I'm from MN, 58, and on February 16 celebrated my second year of retirement :smile: :smile: I was an elementary librarian for almost 35 years, but a freak back injury 9 years ago sent my life down a totally unexpected road. :cry: Short version of the story is I ended up on partial disability and was allowed to work only 5 hours a day, my 8 hour job was then condensed into those 5 and the emotional & physical strain was terrible. I just couldn't do the job the way I'd done before and just prayed for the strength to get to the point where I qualified for retirement. When I got there I bid adieu and really haven't looked back since. :wink: The pain is easier to manage now. Although there are a lot of things I can no longer do; I have found a 'bunch' of other things to keep me busy :smile: People ask if I'm bored with retirement and I'm like, "uh NO!" About 5 years ago I learned how to quilt (my sewing room is a MAJOR disaster right now though :noway: ), I've pulled out the knitting needles & now the crochet hook again, taken up digital photography & trying to learn how to do digital scrapbooking (if I started another 'messy' hobby my dh would kill me :laugh: :laugh: ), and am Nana to the most beautiful amazing almost 2 year old 'Mr. Man' ever :happy: words of every Nana, Granny or Grandma :love: :love: I probably won't post much for the time being because I'm "buried" in pictures! I'm the "official, unofficial :laugh: " photographer for a high school & college basketball teams. Our best friend coaches one & his amazing daughters play on the other. I've been down the weight loss road more times than I care to remember, but this fall finally had an epiphany over issues with my mom who has been dead 11 years. I finally realized I am defined by neither my weight or my looks and if I continue to think that way then she wins. I joined MFP in September after my yearly physical which turned up terrible cholesterol numbers & dr. wanted to put me on medication. I decided on my own that I was on enough medication because of my back & I needed to take control of my eating. I lost almost 30 pounds between then and Christmas & by the beginning of December had lowered cholesteral from 226 to 179. I've been struggling since beginning for January, MN winter has been REALLY long this year & I've gotten lazy about journaling (who wants to journal a binge?:cry::cry: ) but I need to get back to the 'fanatical' journaling I did last fall :smile: This will be the final time I take this journey & right now I've scared myself as I see the weight slowly creep back. Well, off to fill my water bottle :drinker: and get back to those pictures :smile:

    hi everybody - happy wednesday. half way through the week. my bill paying day at work, which i better get to in a minute!

    Welcome newbies!

    JUDI - great job losing 1/1/2 pounds! the bra idea sounds intriguing! the jumping jacks, not so much! when i'm doing a dvd and jumping jacks come on i always substitute something else - even marching in place. The whole dang room shakes if i start jumping up and down! things will start crashing! and breaking!:noway: can't have THAT!

    PIQUILTER - welcome to you too! omg, that QUILT! it's gorgeous! and that little dude! he's SO adorable! All of us grandmas in here talk lots about "our" babies. I'm new to grandmadom - 1 almost 7 month old and 1 almost 7 week old. it's the BEST! I'm so sorry you were injured, but ok, yes, i'm a little jealous that you're retired. oh the things i could get done if i only didn't have to work!!!!!!!!!! I do scrapbooking too - i have the feeling you're probably way more creative than i am. I have a group of friends that gets together once a month - we have great fun - fix great good, solve world problems (along with some of our own) and even get some scrap booking done!

    LYNN - your bil in the attic, sister in the shower and the cops setting him free.........:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: SO funny! oh yea - who's Arnold?

    BARBIE - how'd the realtors tour go? SO great i hope! Thanks for your insight - right now i have the fear factor going on - I lost the 13 pounds by eating under 1,000 a day. Now i'm TRYING to get back up to 1200 but i'm not doing it 'cause i'm not losing the last dang pound so i keep thinking i'm eating too much when the numbers say it's not so. darn head of mine anyway!:huh:

    PHOEBE - that's why i was an awful team driver - drive, sleep, drive, sleep........i could never get the sleep part down so i'd be doing drive drive drive drive which my husband at the time thought was pretty darn fabulous!!!!!!!!! not so much!!!!!!!!:yawn: i did way better solo! Thanks for liking the pic of my baby girl! She's SO funny - her facial expressions are constantly cracking us up!

    MADDIE - yay for baby Nate! is he better now? wasn't he sick? have fun with him! I'm going to see Kodi after work today. Wow - the queen of hearts - did she use MFP?? her after picture is just GREAT!:bigsmile:

    SANDY - i always use l, e on e mails. it not only stands for "elli" but also: love, elli. No comcast on demand so i'll look for a dvd. my knees aren't that great either, but i can usually do almost anything for an hour. You are rocking the heck out of the walking and the bike! omg - i can't believe Barbie walks 6 miles a day!:drinker: oh, wait a minute - it's Barbie - yes i can. have fun at bingo tonight and win lotsa money!!!!!!!!!!!!

    sorry whoever i missed - i better get back to work - here alone today. have a great one! l, e:flowerforyou:

    Hi piquilter and welcome. You are definitely a busy retired person! I guess this is basketball season isnt it?
    Do you go to every game?
    your cholesterol level really came down to a great number. My dh and his family all have high cholesterol, but it is not all coz of weight. Even his skinny aunt is way over 300. He is on meds for his, and thank goodness they work coz he has trouble losing weight.
    which reminds me, I cannot find reduced fat cheese in my local grocers. It seems to have disappeared from Walmart and our grocery store shelves. Has anyone noticed this?
    piquilter, post as often as you like, we all do! Lol, and some, like me, come back more than once per day!

    Ellie- "I'll be back" is a famous line from an Arnold Schwarzenegger film. :wink: Whenever I say that phrase...it pops back into my head.
    That baby is adorable!:love:
    Pq- You underestimate yourself. :flowerforyou: All the excercising you do through the pain is an admirable feat.:tongue: My DIL is a photographer. She photographs a lot of teams. This is a busy time of year for that occupation.
    I hope you enjoy this forum as much as I do. Welcome...:smile:

    Sandy -you are on a roll today with your walking. :flowerforyou:

    Old Tyke-contrats on your weight loss.:flowerforyou:

    Barbie -good luck with the Realtors.:flowerforyou:

    I have some more stories but I can't tell them all at once....:happy:

    PHOEBE - i have a good cholesterol 1 too - i have high cholesterol, i have to take............something...........I haven't eaten any red meat or poultry in over 37 years! It's SO hereditary! I buy fat free cheese at Sprouts Market. don't know if you have any of those.

    k - gotta run "see" you all tomorrow!

    :angry: I have high cholesterol, too. :angry: When the doctor first told me that it was high, I thought maybe I could control it with diet and exercise and then he went back and looked through my old records and found that my cholesterol was high when I was in my 30's and my weight was in the 130's and I was doing Jazzercise three times a week and working out at a gym three times a week.......so I reluctantly went on medication and it's been fine ever since (and better since I lost weight)

    :flowerforyou: I wear a pedometer from the time I walk the dogs in the morning until the time I go to bed so the 10,000 steps is all the walking and dancing I do all day......it's true that I don't sit still very well and add steps to every chore and activity I do, but it's not all vigorous walking.

    :flowerforyou: The Realtors loved the house and said it was clean and neat and smelled great (we boiled chocolate on the stove before they came).......at 11:15 someone showed the house to a potential buyer so Jake and I met up and went to Subway for a veggie delight for lunch.......we came home and got everything out and got relaxed and then got a phone call from another Realtor ( a woman we know from the dog park) and she'll be showing the house at 5:30 so we'll have our Isagenix shakes for supper, wash the dishes, hide the clutter, put the cats out, hide the litter box, and load the dogs up and go for a ride.

    :flowerforyou: the Higher Power seems to be doing His part in looking for a buyer for us :bigsmile:

    :flowerforyou: I had to leave the house pretty early this morning so I had time to take a walk at the park before line dance class. I walked a route that I usually walk with dogs only this time I got to see the birds, ducks, and geese because there were not dogs to bark and scare them away :laugh:

    :flowerforyou: My friend who usually comes over from Seattle on Wednesdays to walk with me, had to cancel because of the rain so I had to dance in front of the TV and ride the exercise bike to make up for it.

    Pq, I looked at your food and exercise diary......you seem like an amazing exerciser and a healthy eater......we'll learn a lot from you.......I'm a knitter but since I started adding exercise to my day, I don't knit as much as I used to.

    Jackie is pinkperil, from the UK, in case the proper name doesn't ring a bell.

    Hey this is me the real me . the earlier post was by my daughter. I had her to report in for me on her computor I thought some one may have missed me. We spent 2 hours at Best and they work on it got home the same thing Could not get on any site.
    Alice my daughter ran thru a whole bunch of stuff and nothing work. I came in here and notice a little bitof something going around and I click on it and guess what it was there all the time My zoom was down to 10 % It was just too small for me to see it. I knew my eyes are really getting worse But that was smaller than the eye could see =

    Try it and you can see what I am talking about Don't know how it got to 10% for I haven't got use to using . The ctrl + % _ like connie show us. I have a place to click on zoom and it only goes down 50% So you guys were there all along.


    Gosh you all have been busy today. i see you have recuited 2 new Sneakers
    Will catch up witth you all in the morning

    Good evening everyone. I am tired today after shopping, shopping, shopping with the husband. We finally found a vanity top/sink that will be suitable. Funny the things that Dave is so fussy about. I am not a decorator but I think I did all the decorating when we built the house 20 years ago and it just surprises me that some things are so important to him and so not to me. Oh well, we are all under control now.
    We had a meeting at Neil's home for his care plan. I feel really good that in a positive way I was able to get my concerns expressed. I was glad that we had many nice things to say as well. His voice seems fairly good today. For the new folks, Neil is my son.

    Welcome to Judi and Jeanne. I hope you love your time here. I can't believe how we keep adding more and more of the nicest people around. I haven't posted as much as I like to the last while as there have been so many distractions for me. Guess that is the way retired life is!!

    Marie -- Glad the computer problem wasn't major. Hi to Alice!

    Sandy -- Neil got your card a few days ago and it is pinned up on his cork board. He was very happy to get mail. Thanks so much.

    Phoebe -- I thought you would appreciate this. We stopped at the gas station this morning, temp. -39C (-38F) and the guy pumping gas had a ski mask on. Actually he looked like he was heading for the slopes, dressed up from head to toe. I thought the mask was a good idea and would keep his eyelashes from freezing to the lower lashes. Now that is a strange sensation.

    Barbie -- I hope the house sells quickly. I know it is such a pain to be constantly getting it ready to show.

    Hope you all have a great Thursday and I hope that I get here a little earlier tomorrow!

    Take care and keep smiling. Gayla :heart:

    Welcome to Judi and Jeanne...I'm fairly new on here but have found everyone incredibly friendly - you will love it. I live in New Zealand and find it so interesting to "talk" to people on the other side of the world..where would we be without our computers...glad you're back on air Marie.

    It's now 10 days after the Christchurch earthquake and they have only released 12 bodies as identifying them visually is proving to be too difficult. 160 lives lost and that figure will rise as over 100 still missing..I just watched the 1st funeral on TV - a little 5 month old baby who was killed by a TV falling on him. His father carried his little coffin in his arms. It was just heartbreaking. A so called expert has predicted another one for around the 20th of March so everyone is hightailing it out of the city. Well, we'll know in a few weeks if his prediction is right or not. I hope not as we are on the same fault line!!!

    I had to force myself to go on the treadmill this morning but once I got started I was fine...even managed to do a bit of Zumba..Elli, have a look at the videos of it on Utube to see if it's right for you .. I haven't always got my co-ordination right but did go to salsa lessons about 10 years ago so just do those moves. As long as you keep moving I think - it's all good.


    Well, dinner time for us here so hope everyone keeps safe:

    Thanks, Jeanne, for trusting us with your proper name! I keep a log of everyone who posts attaching a given name to the user name, listing their age (if given) and their location. It helps to keep track of everyone.

    Where in the UK are you? I was lucky enough to travel some in Southwest England some years ago. I was in the travel business and had a large group that wanted to visit Chillington. It afforded me the opportunity to do some exploring ahead of bringing the group. We had a ball.

    Oh Judy, it's all so terribly sad about the lives lost in the earthquake. When I heard it on the radio my first thought was "but they've only just had one". But of course it was some months ago. The scenes of the devastation are awful.I never really thought of NZ being earthquake prone, even tho there are geezers (?spelling)
    I love the way the internet makes the world smaller! Talking to people all over the world. Who would have thought it when we were young?
    Another grey day in East Yorkshire, with a cold wind. I'm not feeling very motivated to do anything today,but I shall (as we say in Yorkshire) "frame" myself and do some exercise this afternoon. I think it'll have to be some wii freestep watching a comedy dvd, I don't think I could bear Jillian shouting at me today!

    My home page is a mess. Everyday, it's something and still life goes on. How can that be???? My most important home page is messed up !!!!! Shouldn't the skies light up or something.....geeessshhh, it's such an important part of my day and it's like, not even important :mad:

    Anyway, Good Morning ! Little Nate coming. Hope he feels better today. He was a handful yesterday...:cry: I'll be back later.....I hope my page is fixed.....my page oh my page :sad:

    Happy Thursday!! :bigsmile: $17.00 win at bingo!! :tongue: Better than nothing!! :blushing:

    Maddie, not sure what you mean by your home page being a mess, but maybe just restart your computer. :ohwell: Nate will certainly bring sunshine into your day. :flowerforyou: BTW, I knew exactly what you meant about Arnold. :laugh:

    Judi, dreary days are sure to get you down but we will keep you motivated. :laugh: I enjoy the Wii freestep while watching TV, it is a good way to exercise while enjoying some TV. I sometimes do it for an hour so really get a workout and calories. :drinker:

    Oh Judy, watching that funeral with that dad and his baby had to be more than heartbreaking. :brokenheart: I can only keep praying for those in Christchurch and hope the prediction of the so called expert is wrong!! :cry:

    Gayla, glad you finally got the vanity/top sink to make your hubby happy. :tongue: Men, you can't live with them and "sometimes" without them. :laugh: I am happy that you got to express your feelings at Neil's home and you both are on the same page. Our prayers will continue for the full recovery of Neil's voice. Glad he liked my card, I will send another soon. :heart:

    Marie, we missed you yesterday, but I am glad you are back online!! And all those experts couldn't figure out what you did, so you are a genius!!! :love: :love:

    Jeanne, glad we made you feel right at home and shared your name with us. :love: We might be nosy but we are fun. :laugh: My daughter is from Chaska, Minnesota, so we are connected. :wink:

    Phoebe, hope you got rest and are heading home soon. :heart:

    Connie, thank you for letting us know about Jackie, hope she gets that computer fixed soon. Also please send me the list with every one's handles and real names, I am getting so confused. :laugh:

    Barbie, I am going to try and wear my pedometer all day to see how many steps I actually walk on one day. It all counts as exercise correct? :tongue: I am one of the lucky ones (so far) I take no prescription medicines for anything, but do take a lot of over the counter medicines for my general health. :ohwell: Your house sounds beautiful and hopefully you will get a buyer soon. As you say it is in God's Hands. :flowerforyou:

    LE, great day of exercising yesterday, if we keep it up we might reach our goal after all!! :blushing:

    I think I caught up from my last post, unless someone sneaked a post in while I was typing this. :grumble:

    It is my meeting day so I better get moving. Moving and Grooving, our new slogan. :laugh:

    Good morning Sneakers. Hope you are all busy with something good.
    judy in nz, we saw a newscast yesterday about los angeles crews helping with demolition. I call it that instead of rescue now coz they think that is over. The damage to this tall building was only believed by seeing it. But the building was still standing, a major danger now is the clean up causing more injuries. I dont know how an earthquake can be fforecasted for a certain date and no warning given for the one that just occured. Must be something the scientists understand.
    your description of the babys' funeral was so sad. I cant imagine going thru that.

    On a lighter note, Marie, I wonder what you thought when the zoom was shrunk to 10% ? Lol, I keep seeing a tiny little web page with seniors golden sneakers scrolled across it. Like, Honey, I Shrunk My Cyber Buddies! Lol!
    maddie, Im not sure what happened to your home page, but it sounds like it had better fix itsef before you make a new one!
    hope you have an easier day with baby nate, but I doubt it!
    Jeanne, what is that wii you mentioned? I have one step program, bui dont know how to do it and watch a movie unless it was on two tvs. On a cold day, with winds, I can barely imagine getting past two pots of coffee, much less do any outdoor activities!
    sandy, Barbie, Elli- hope you are busy as usual and getting my share of exercise done for me! I would so appreciate it. Lol!
    we havent heard from Pam in a while.
    back to work for us, technically, we haven't stopped. We just had to layover for a day. Now we are gone!

    On the Wii Fit Plus they have a free stepper that lets you switch to regular TV and the remote keeps track of your steps.
