Well done on your weightloss!0 -
Thanks Cheryl! I'm so excited!
My BF loves castles and he wants us to go see some in England, Ireland and Germany. Hopefully we'll get there someday. 0 -
Good Morning cool kids. Happy Friday!! Cherylann - certainly is a beautiful place, and I'd say you are lucky to liver there as well. England is on my bucket list to visit (other than Heathrow airport - been there)
Larro - that video is funny.
Alf, I certainly hope that glute muscle does cause you too much grief! You have been through so much with injuries already.
Carmel- my goodness, I thought we had it bad for weather. We got another snowstorm on Tuesday, however, it is business as usual around here. We don't often get the ice / snow mix that makes things so terrible to travel. If we do, it is usually more in late fall / early spring.
The weather has warmed up some today. We have our big ice fishing derby taking place this weekend (approx 1200 people take part). The weather is supposed to be "nice" all weekend, which is a blessing. The ice fishing derby traditionally has some of the coldest temperatures ever, with many participants suffering frost bite or just dropping out on day two because of the bitter cold.
Went out for a quick night hike last night. The full moon was gorgeous and certainly helped light our way once the clouds lifted. Below is a picture my g/f took with her iPhone. My headlight is lighting the snow in front.

Will you have Highclere castle castle on your list? ( downton Abbey)0 -
Happy Friday all! Can't go without my Friday pic!! Although love seeing all of your pictures posted! The castle is beautiful Cherylann! Love Castles!
Sdereski- the moon shot is great too. It was out when I went to the gym this morning and I could see it in my rear view mirror as I was driving down the hill from my house. I was wishing I had a camera at that moment!
I made it to the gym and ran intervals and worked on legs and abs today for weights. Not a bad workout! I think tomorrow will be just weights as I am headed to see hubby at the rehab facility tomorrow. He seems very much at ease there and is getting along well with everyone. They are holding him to task as well and not letting him refuse therapy either which is great!! He can be stubborn sometimes, but then, can't we all!
Beautiful sunny day here today. Not the warmest, but I will take mid 20s over sub zero any day. It will feel like a heat wave!!! Have a good one all!

Good morning all!!
I am happy to report at loss of 2.6 lbs this week after significantly increasing my protein and my calories I guess you need to constantly keep playing around!
3 furballs, hope your knee feels better and you are able to work out.
Stephanie, congrats on your loss! great news.

hope all have a great weekend!!

cherylann that is an awesome pic of the castle! I'm hoping to take my kids to England and Scotland some day. Hubby and I have been and loved it.
Stephanie, congrats on the weightloss, great job!
Sdereski, wonderful picture. You tell I hibernated yesterday, didn't even notice the moon! Though I got home from my workout at 6 so it wasn't out yet, kind of nice to still have a little light in the sky at 6, clocks go ahead this weekend so we'll have more light in the morning.
KellySue, glad you got to the gym and that your husband is liking the new facility.
Another -18C day today, they say we'll get to 0 this weekend, that would nice, time to melt some of this snow! Got to kickboxing last night and my knee wasn't too bad so that's good. Got my sweat on. Off to kickboxing tonight and possibly becoming a grandparent! My step-daughters mom called last night that she was taking her to the hospital (she was due on Feb. 25) but they came back home as she is not really in labour yet, but they're talking about starting an induction today. I will hopefully be a Nana by tomorrow!! Eeek, Nana at 43! Hopefully everything goes well!0 -
Sdereski- Beautiful moon shot!
Cheryl- LOL I have no idea. I will leave which castles he would like to see up to him. It doesn't matter to me which ones. I think they are all pretty cool.
KellySue- Love the puppy!!!! It's supposed to "warm" up here in Vermont too. Low to mid 20's today. Into the low-30's this weekend.
SLW19- (Those are my initials as well LOL) Thanks! And awesome job on your loss as well!0 -
@3furballs- congrats on becoming a Nana!! I became one about the same age. It is wonderful. Enjoy the grands!!
Things are chilly here in Texas but nowhere near as cold as some of you. I hope you all stay safe in that weather. My husband has some sort of surprise planned for me. It is a late birthdaytrip of some kind. All I know is he wants me to dress in layers and it possibly involves wearing boots of some kind. We shall see. I also lost another pound this week. Trying to keep the good vibrations going in that direction!0 -
I wish that there was a like button for the message boards! LOL0

Happy Friday! Lovely sunny (cold 4F this morning) day. I have 1 week left at this job and then on to new challenges. Feels quite unbelievable. New place has lots of 'snacks' so I am a bit worried. Have had some snow melt this week, actually can see wood on my deck in 2 places and concrete on parts of my driveway. Wondering if we'll be able to get seeds in the ground before June as garden is still under several feet.
Everyone have a fantastic day!0 -
Where's the join link? And its been 3 yrs since anybody posted anything0

Hello 40+ Cool Kids! I'm new to MFP(4 days)and I've already lost 8lbs (13 lost total since Jan 12, 110lbs to go!) I'm 48 (268.1lbs)and I've been obese ( hate that word ) my whole adult life! I'm so tired of being fat. Now that I'm older it's become uncomfortable. Both physically and mentally. I used to pretend I was happy in my plus sized frame but I've never really been ok with it. Like most overweight women the sideways compliment of "You have such a pretty face" has well worn out and it's not enough anymore. My Fiance' has ran 3 marathons. He loves me regardless, but of course he wants to see me healthy and happy fat or slim, (slimmer, I would suspect) but he has a horrible junk food habit. We don't live together so I do get a break from watching his bad habits. But like alot of men, He drops weight very quickly due to his naturally slim frame. I am really enjoying the success stories and pics. They are so inspiring. I want to reach my goal without surgery if I can. I really want this to be the time I reach this goal. I see through you all that it can be done. Hopefully MFP will be the answer. I really want a great " After" picture. Okay, I see, you have to go to the last page for recent post ( dah..).0

Congrats on your weight loss!! Enjoy your trip.0

Not sure how to join, but would like to. I'm 43, married, and mother to 2 girls and 2 boys. I'm going to say it like it is...I'm fat. Grossed out and determined to change. I used to be athletic and my fast food diet caught up to me when I had my ACL repaired after a softball fail. From there, I steadily gained weight and began having major back problems. I need to lose this weight, for myself and my children. I don't want to die fat before I'm 50! I have made the changes in my eating habits and lost just over 15lbs, in about 20 days. I'm trying to walk for exercise 30 minutes 4 days a week. I'm hoping by joining this group I can learn from those who have achieved success. I'm looking for tips from food to exercise and anything else you may be willing to share to make those pounds drop. Thank you0

@misscrish, welcome!!!!! Following MFP WILL be of great help to you. I can tell by your post that you are very determined this time to lose the weight. You can do it!!!!!0

Hello!!! Sooo many posts do little time!!!! Hard to keep up. Congrats to all who have lost weight and have reached their goals this week!!!
3furballs, how is your step daughter? I became a Nana at 45. My granddaughter is 6 yrs old. Love her!!!!
Cherylann, I love castles. I lived in Germany for 6 yrs and travelled all over Europe and looking at castles never got old.
Sdereski, thanks!! So true, I'm really tired of the injuries. I do get frustrated, it is always something setting me back. I hurt from my neck down to the tips of my toes but I refuse to give up!!!
I'd better get to bed and rest. Take care everyone!!!!!

Good Evening Cool Kids.
I just about let this Friday get away from me without posting. I had office relief today, so having all day with nothing to do, I've done nothing. I did get to take Margie to lunch, which is pretty rare with out split schedules.
I've got the high school prom tonight at work. It will be over in another hour, then I have to turn the setup around for tomorrow's party. It's been a long day, and I still have hours to go. But a couple of months ago I was bitchin' work was too slow.
Here are the numbers for the week:
21.0% Body Fat
24.0 BMI
171.4 Pounds
That is 0.5 pounds gained for the week. Maybe this calorie goal stuff does work after all.
Larro
If I had not have had office relief I was going to transplant tomato and pepper sprouts into cups this morning. But if frogs had wings . . . . . . .

I'd like to join this group. Today is my birthday and I'm 47 years old. I'm about 145 pounds and 5'1.5". My goals are to decrease body fat and build muscle. I love working out and eating healthy but tend to be inconsistent when stress hits.
I live in Houston but today I am vacationing with hubby in Puerto Rico. Yesterday we hiked in the El Yunque Rain Forest. It was amazing. Hubby and I are becoming more active together, so I am hoping for more consistency. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Good morning fun people! I'm determined to make this day count, in a negative way! Exercise is my goal for the day in hopes that the scale will have good news on Sunday! Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing a strange phenomenon? I'm craving...wait for it... Weight for it.... Veggies! I don't even know who I am anymore! I haven't felt this way about food since I was a kid. So glad that I'm returning to normal. Seeing @larrodarro tomato plants made my mouth water0

I'm a Nana!!! Ainsley was born around 4 this morning, 7.1lbs. We're going to the hospital to see them in a bit. Hubby was there until 4:45 for the birth this morning (this is his daughter, she's 20 and was 4 months old when we met!). Just can't believe she's a mom! So excited and hoping I'll get to spend time with the baby. I looovvvveeee babies.
I did manage to get to kickboxing last night and kettlebell and kickboxing this morning too. My knee is still stiff and a bit sore but for the most part I did everything.
Geena, sounds like you are on the right path to a healthier lifestyle!
Allenpriest, good luck with surgery, hope it all goes well.
Alf1163, I keep telling myself I'd rather be achy and sore from working out then from getting older!
Larro, I haven't even thought of planting our seeds indoors yet. Just seems like the snow will never melt.
ddconney7, if you can find ways to be active together and make it fun it makes it so much easier to make a lifestyle change, not just lose some weight. I'm so jealous! I would love to get to go hiking in a rain forest!0
