Hi all,:blushing:
What a great group to start thanks so much.
I just joined a facebook challenge called Countdown to New Years Eve (90 day challenge) a friend created it. Now with this group of 50 + women I will have great support from both sites :laugh:
My goals for October
Continue exercisng 4-5 times a week
Eating 1200-1300 calories a day (no matter what MFP tells me)
Getting back that connection with my hubby that I feel has been missing
.
Getting our trim painted on the house:bigsmile:
Getting through this month of polictical madness (and the 1st week in November):devil:
Get some Christmas presents made and or bought (I am a last minute girl for sure):embarassed:
Appreciate everyday I have with friends and family0 -
@Linda (Sundance) - soooo very sorry about the loss of your friend.
@Janhadji - We had my mother-in-law's birthday dinner at an italian restaurant last night (same price range as you mentioned.) I ordered Salmon with a white wine sauce and didn't eat anything but the Salmon. It was about 9 ozs of Salmon instead of the 4 I usually eat, and I don't think it was wild. Then I had 1/3 of the tiramisu I ordered. Italian restaurants are hard to come away from on target.
My goals for October are:
Buy Twizzlers for the trick or treaters (I hate Twizzlers)
Offer children money if they will agree not to go trick or treating :happy:
Get soundly into the "LOW" 160's now that I am in them.0 -
Hello again beauties:flowerforyou:
I'll see how far I can get before I have a conf. call I have to take
.
Amanda
glad your cousin is home, hope he continues to do well!
Liz hope your Sunday was relaxing!
Deborah welcome to the group:flowerforyou: ! Glad you decided to jump in and join us! My exercise consists of just walking at the moment. I started in May walking for about 30 min. in the mornings, I walk now anywhere from 45 min. to 1 1/2 hrs, just depending on how much time I have, I also walk again in the afternoon, again depending on the time I have how long I go, and the doggie gets a 30 minute walk at least once a day, sometimes twice, but she likes to stop and sniff a lot. Hope your hubby gets to feeling better!!! Yes, just post your goals here and at the end of the month see if you've accomplished what you started out to do. We will cheer you on!!!
M hope your mellow day was fabulous!!!
LadyBeryl yay for not needing pain meds anymore!!!! Good for you riding for 4 hours, not sure I could do that!
Meg I get lots of dirty looks from the birds too when their feeder is empty, sometimes I look out and it looks like a scene from an Alfred Hitchcook ( yes, I ment to misspell his name so MFP won't edit me!) movie:laugh: .
Linder good for you getting your deck cleared off! I need to do that too:frown: . Don't drive when you're tired!!!! Please please be careful!!! As Laura says be grateful for each day we have, we don't know what tomorrow will bring.
Jen your weekend sounds wonderful!!!
JaneMartin so glad you got to see your grandchildren, they are such precious gifts!!! Hope your friend gets fabulous news from her checkup!
Michele I so agree with you on portion size at restaurants:noway: ! Last time I went out for Italian food, my dinner could have fed 4 people easily! I only ate about a 1/4 of it, if that much! It was kind of liberating throwing out some things from the fridge,the really good part of it was really cleaning the inside, I wiped everything down, took the drawers out and washed them, by the time I finished it was sparkling! I am happy about the almost 8", I had to go back and remeasure twice just to be sure it was right:laugh: .
Kathy a new month, a fresh start!!! Just get back to your plan!
Barbie love your goals, especially, " be agreeable" . I may need to borrow that too.
Lila my Noel has been startled by grasshoppers too, and it's so funny, the grasshopper jumps, she gets a funny look on her face, goes back to it to investigate, it jumps again, she jumps back and then growls at it:laugh: . She is good at keeping me laughing. I need to either get my blazers altered or donate them, everyone I have is too big, I really don't want to put a lot of money into suits at the moment, I've been getting by with a few new pants, new shirts and a couple of new sweaters.
Got to go now, will be back later to finish my post and post my Oct. goals.
Hugs,
DeeDee0 -
Would love to join this group. I feel that this would really help me for the month of October. Love to go turkey hunting with my partner, so exercise is needed badly for me. So if I could really walk without getting out of breath so fast and tired, he would be amazed with me.
October Goal: :bigsmile:
Drink more water
When watching TV do some rope resistant exercises (bicep curls)
Walk
Wii Step exercises0 -
Good morning Ladies,
It’s Monday morning, it’s October 1, and it’s weigh-in day; altogether there are some pretty negative connotations in that statement but I am going to turn that around.
It’s Monday morning and the beginning of a great new week and a great new month with lots of possibilities (let me have my delusions.) It’s October 1, a time of colourful leaves, crisp autumn air (okay the temperature dropped significantly this morning but its only temporary), favourite sweaters and Canadian Thanksgiving. (We’re still okay with this?) Its weigh-in day, fingers crossed we step on the scales knowing it has gone down because we have willed it down (and had baked salmon last night)….. drumroll…… 2 lbs! That’s 25 lbs. in two months! Something that has never been possible before MFP and you!
Later I began looking at what I was going to bake for Thanksgiving dinner this coming weekend, checking my supplies and it suddenly dawned on me that I have lost the equivalent to a big sack of flour or a small pyramid of butter! I had to sit down for a minute as this revelation washed over me! Wow!
Sometimes our bus service can be a bit dodgey and one day this week I had a choice to wait 45 minutes for the bus or walk home which takes 45 minutes, walking won and I shaved 7 minutes off my time which surprised me indeed! Maybe I should walk home a little more often? hmmm.
I watched ‘The Hunger Games’ movie with my son last night, rather reluctantly I might admit based on the premise of the movie. I always enjoy these times with my son and said yes because he assured me I would enjoy the costumes. It was surprisingly good and nothing like I had envisioned but I had crazy dreams about it all night long! I hate that because you never sure what’s real for the first few minutes of waking time and you’re always a little more tired than normal. I wonder if I was running in my sleep? Can you burn calories doing that?
Anyways I must away to catch my bus for work, no I am not walking to work, no, no, no…
Have a marvelous day,
Kate0 -
I will write more later. Here are my resolutions/goals for October. :devil:
Resolutions for October
1) Increase glider workout to 3 times a week
2) walk to store (4 blocks away) for those quick trips to the grocery
3) Stay away from Halloween candy and cookies
4) Break the Plateau I’m currently on and lose 8 to 10 pounds
5) Enjoy autumn by taking walks/hikes. 0 -
Marking my spot for later. Happy Monday. Eileen0

Back again, trying one more time to finish this post!
:flowerforyou:
Carol More veggies and fruits are good goals!
Stardancer congrats on the 1.1 pound gone!!!
Michele floating in the pool reduces stress, and stress increases appetite , so reducing stress by floating in the pool is a weight loss aid, almost like exercise:laugh: .
Carolyn your goals sound good. I like "buy candy I don't like".
Tigress Sunds like your goals will keep you moving!!!
Karin congrats on meeting your Sept. goals!!!
Nancy you and Jb stocking up for colder months!!! I want to come to your house and have salsa and CAKE
!!! I think you should count PE as part of your exercise! Hope things with the school improves!!!
Jb sounds like you had a delightful weekend!!!
Drkatiebug I need to post twice a day to keep up with everyone, most days that doesn't happen though. However today I will probably have 4 posts:ohwell: .
Jane good luck on the meal tonight, let us know how the organization is!
Robin hope you're feeling better soon:flowerforyou: !!! You know we will be here to encourage you on your sober journey for Oct.!!!!
Kate I like that you turned everything into a positive! Congrats on willing that scale down 2 pounds!!!!! Good for you walking instead of waiting!!!
Welcome to all the newbies:flowerforyou: , come in often and chat with us, this is a great group of women, full of inspiration and motivation!!!
Once again I must run, meeting in 15 minutes:grumble: . Will be back later to post my goals for Oct.
Hugs,
DeeDee0 -
Hi Everyone, I’m having an ok day. DH just brought home some mini chocolate bars! Grr! :grumble: I have a weakness for stuff like that, which is why I never buy it. I told him he’s better eat it quickly! LOL! We don’t even get kids at Halloween! I went out and popped some popcorn to stop me from pigging out on the chocolate!
They just called me to tell me they have my leg brace back. (for my left leg that has arthritis and is rubbing bone to bone) I go in Thursday to see if they can get it to stay up on my leg...here's hoping
Cathy in Nova Scotia
October Goals:
* Track my food
* Use the bike pedals at least 5 days a week
* Get to the pool 2-3 days per week
* Cut back on my drinks on the weekend
* lose and keep off 6 pounds (I tend to yo-yo)0 -
Hello Ladies,
I have had a long break with reality but am back because I have slipped back into old bad habits. I need to re weigh myself and see what I have gained back and buckle down and get back to what works for me.
Since I have been gone I was working 2 jobs and taking care of my brother and living with my dad so I lapsed into mindless eating in the car as well as snacking on pastery at work ( there is always cookies and worse available at the nursing home) But tonight I am starting my new position at a nursing home closer to my df farm so I am in the process of moving in with him after 7 years!! He has been very patent.
I will take some time to catch up with you all and get to know the ladies that have joined since I last posted.
Good to be back among friends

There are such a large number of wonderful posts each day that I don't always have time to post anything by the time I have read them all.
To those who have lost friends my sympathies are with you.
To those of you who have been losing weight through September, keep up the good work in October. I have just 5lbs to lose but sm not in a major rush and have increased my calories ot 1700 per day plus exercise calories on days that I workout in line with the New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women. I have also started their prescribed exercise routine s my plan for October is to keep up with this plan and to monitor and assess any changes that occur.
There are so many pressures on all of us in these economically troubled times. I am very dissolutioned with my job at the moment. The firm that I work for was a family firm but has become very commercial over the last 5 or so years. I no longer feel like a valued member of the firm. I feel like a number and that is the last thing anyone wants. There is also a lot of concern as the work is not coming in in the way it did in the past and this could lead to my position becoming redundant. On the one hand I would be devastated and I am not sure how me and DH would managed on a substantially reduced income but I am trying to think positively about the opportunities that would open themselves to me if that happened so that I could do something that if feel really passionate about.
To be able to escape to somewhere beautiful like the beach must be wonderful. There is nothing like nature to make one realise what really matters, health, fitness and happiness.
Hopefully when we all reflect on October we will be pleased with the progress we have made in all areas of our lives.0 -
Hey everyone it’s a Monday that’s for sure. Clinical was slow today then we came back to the college for simulation, which did not go well. I am not adept at using the simulators because in my courses, I am the “helper”, so I have never really learned how to run them. Then my partner wasn’t going to come in during my time because she was after me, but the course coordinator tracked her down and told her she was running the whole thing, so it was just a complete comedy of errors. Good thing the students are good sports. :bigsmile:
Well my September goals went pretty well, some good others could have been better. I did great at staying under my calories on most days, I signed in every day, I exercised on my schedule, but I could have drank more water. I did buy a water bottle just for clinical so that has helped. I do have to say the toughest one has been finding joy and beauty somewhere every day. I struggle with that, but am trying.
Jen: your weekend sounds great! I love that misty weather.
Michele: I am with you….October! Where did that come from??? :noway:
Barbie: glad your retreat was good! Thanks for starting the new thread
Linda: Oh I am so sorry to hear of your friend Kathy. I’m sure you will miss her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you and her family. Those lessons do come mysteriously at the right time, don’t they?
Carol: you are doing great, I’m sure you will manage all your new goals
Star dancer: congrats on your loss!
Jane: I’ll be keeping your friend in my thoughts as well.
Carolyn: I buy Halloween candy I don’t’ like….chocolate. I am not a chocolate eater, so it can sit in my house for weeks. I will enjoy a small bite…like our Russian chocolate or the kind you get at valentines day, but it’s a bite and no more.
Newbies: welcome and come back often!
All the rest of you I missed writing personal messages to: I read your posts and hope you are doing well if you are having struggles and celebrating when you find success.
Seems like lots of us are having our “now “moments. I had one Sunday at church. We had a visiting minister who now works for Child Savings Institute and came to speak about their needs. Part of her sermon was about when she was a mom, she always wanted a “Benjamin”. She had 2 other sons, but something was missing. So then she had her Benjamin and he was a holy terror. Literally destroyed things when he threw temper tantrums. She started reading him this book about a kid who wanted a dog, but mom said “dogs are too much trouble” to which the kid would reply “But they are worth it.” So when she would be totally angry and frustrated with him, she’d read him this book. At the end she added a bit about how her Benjamin was too much trouble, to which he would reply “But I am ‘worf’ it! And that always made her feel better.
Lately I am having incredible compassion fatigue. I find myself so tired of my daughters and their needs I could just cry. That story really hit home and I promised myself I would tell myself that story each time I get mad at them from now on and end with “but they are worth it!”
My October goals are the same.
1. Log in each day
2. Log food and stay under 1900 calories each day except 2 free days a month
3. Drink 90 ounces of water a day
4. Exercise 3 times a week (cardio)
5. Find joy and beauty somewhere each day.
Hope you all find joy in the beautiful Monday. Take care, Meg :drinker:0 -

Hello Ladies,
Today is my 3rd day off tomorrow back to work. i spent the day pulling the house together for the work week making sure none of the chores got missed this week. Also took some time to do a few more freezer meals. Today trying a new recipe sirloin steak soup. Found it in a magazine for Diabetic Living. It is smelling so good.
@Amanda-- Glad to hear that your cousin has return home.
@Barbie--Thank you for starting the new thread for us!
@Lin- Sorry to hear about your friend. please be careful driving.
@ Dee you are doing great with your goals
@Meg-- Thank you sharing your moment with us. I so needed to hear that today. As I have said I have a 19 yr old with autism + other things. She is taking classes at the local junior college so happy but she can only handle so much interaction so normally this week when I come in after 10 hour days -- that when she will decides to melt down cursing me out after she gets it out towards bed. she will say sorry but it got to such a place was beginning to think of reshab places. Your share touch me so that what i need to keep telling myself yes this is hard but there is good she is going to classes and even after the verbal attack she is recognizing this isn't ok. that is a victory.--- She is so worth it. Hang in there Meg! :flowerforyou:
@star dancer way cool on your loss
@Jane sorry about your friend.
i am sorry if I am missing anyone I know I will be back before the nights over.
I do read all of the posts and so happy to be on this journey together.

Good evening ladies. September flew by! I love October weather- it is great for long walks and kayaking. Hope to get lots of both in this month.
Work has been incredibly busy with lots of technology challenges. Things are finally settling into a routine. I will be observed this week by my administrator. Don't know why this still makes me nervous after all these years, but will be glad when it is over. Lots of new changes this year- it is exciting to see the positive effects the changes are having.
I did okay with some of my goals last month, but not so well with others. I didn't lose much, but only have a few more pounds to get to goal.
Thank you all for the stories and supportive posts. It really helps me stay motivated.
Goals for October: Get to the gym 3 times a week for weights
Walk at least 5 days a week
Keep logging food and exercise
Start my own "Happiness Project" (just started reading the book)
Enjoy my job more
Spend more time with family0 -
So excited----I received a packet in the mail late this afternoon with such wonderful news!! My former employer IS going to retain retiree medical coverage for another year!!!!! Yeah. The cost will be a lot higher (as will the copays and OOP) but at least it will be available. I was soooo worried they would drop it and I didn't think I could find any coverage anywhere. I have another year to try to tame this BMI. And I will keep working as hard as I can.

Deborah - I meant to say that I was wondering if the paska was from Eastern Europe, sorry about that. My family is Polish, my grandmother used to make a babka that was fantastic! I make it at Christmas time, but then again, I'm the only one who eats it. It's so good with butter or cream cheese on it.
anntyson - welcome! All you needed to do was to post and now you're a member. Stop in regularly.
Lin - how terrible about your friend. My deepest sympathies
Nancy - you certainly achieved your goal of being a healthy role model for your students!
andreajp - we welcome people just jumping in, so you're very welcome
Laura - years ago my kids took me out to eat for Mother's Day. They decided that I wanted to go to Chuck E. cheese, so that's where we went!!!! I still smile about that!
Robin - get better fast!
Tomorrow I'll do a bosu ball workout DVD. Then at night we have Mexican Train dominoes. I made a salad to take with me. Basically, it's quinoa and cucumbers. The original recipe calls for you to add crab, but I don't think it really needs it. Besides, I had quinoa that I wanted to use up
littlelady - what do you mean when you say "rope resistance exercises"? Do you mean you'll use a stretchy band? What kind of Wii step exercises are you planning?
We cleaned out the garage the other day and found a few jump ropes. I may take one with me when we go to see Jessica. she's on a kickball team and I know she'd love for us to come see her play. It's just right now it's a bit hard because we need to be home for the pool guys. But when we do go up there, we stay in a hotel. Taking a jump rope with me might be a good alternative to the treadmill they have. Their elliptical is really weird so I usually don't use it.
Kate - awesome loss!
DeeDee - I like your rationalization! Another thing, when you're floating in the pool, you aren't eating! "Prevention" magazine just ran an article about exercises you can do in the water with a handle band. Basically, the same as on land only in the water. So I took a band that I had that I really don't care if it gets rouined and will probably use that. Actually, with the resistance of the water, it might actually be harder to use. I already have dumbells and a floatation belt.
Glenda - LOL re: volunteer/service hours. Thanks for the smile
Kim - welcome
Lin - fantastic news about your medical coverage. It so helps
Played mahjongg tonight, maj'd twice. Well, off to dreamy land.

I just found you and WOW I can't believe Oct 1st and already on page 3.
I haven't made it through all posts.
I've got a drs. appointment in the morning to get a cortisone shot in my hip. I'm hoping that will kick in and fix my hip problem so that I can enjoy my trip to Israel.
It's late and I wanted to mark my spot now that I found you.
Thanks Barbie for getting us up and running for October.
We have mission's conference each night this week so I'll try to pop in tomorrow and post more.
Don't forget to :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

End of the day and as usual there is just so much happening here with all the women that my mind can't keep up with it all. I do want to thank Barbie for that cute start to the thread. October is my favorite month for several reasons. It's the beginning of autumn and a break from the heat in Texas. We can get back outdoors for awhile and enjoy the changing of the season. This year I am particularly happy to see October as I am finally getting over my bout with the flu of nearly 2 weeks.
Linda, sorry to read of your loss with your friend Kathy. I have lost a couple of friends too.
September goals were minimal but achieved. I had a particularly good loss last week which I am sure the flu contributed to. Now I am hoping not to slip backwards too much this week as my appetite returns
For October I have committed to 78,000 steps for the month. That goal is nothing compared to what I see others doing but it is significant for me and I will work hard to achieve it. I'm also participating in the Christmas challenge to which I hope to lose 15 lbs or more by December 15th. With all the holidays that will be no easy feat.
Sending up a prayer for all those in need as I am sure the good Lord can call everyone of you by name. May you all rest peacefully and wake to a glorious new day.

Good Evening Ladies,
Having a fun evening. I talk my DH into helping me paint the interior of our house. Mainly Living room, bathroom, kichen/dinning area/hallway.. So pull out the paint samples. DH hates to paint so for him to agree to help me is really big on his part.
So now trying to figure out the color scheme.
@Lin that is good news about your medical coverage.
@Kim and @andreajp--welcome
@Michele--wow jump rope that sounds really good its been years since i have done that good workout but right now me i will stick with walking. But its great how you are looking for ways to spice up your workouts.

Happy October Ladies! My BFF, Kat,who got me started on MFP, celebrated our birthday (early), which will be on Oct 3, together down at her home in La Quinta, even thought it was 109 degrees, we still had a BLAST! It's so special that we have the same birthdays and that our children are each a month apart from each other. My daughter's bday is in April, her daughter's is in May. Her son's is in Jan, my son's is in Feb. And we found each other at a Mommy and Me class and our girls are now 21:)
Anyway, hope that you all have a FANTASTIC week, I know I will:) Dar0
