This is the month when summer begins even for those of us up north where it’s been rainy and 50 degrees for weeks……..Welcome to the thread that changed my life……It says that it’s for Women 50+ and to us that means all women who are traveling the weight loss path…..We check in regularly with each other and share our success and failures and life experience.
How did you do with your goals for May? What goals do you have for June?
If you haven’t set goals for June, stick around for awhile and see what others are doing and you’ll get some great ideas.
We can do together what we cannot do alone……….Never, never, never give up :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

It's not June yet here but I found the thread early, so...
I didn't do that well with my May goals. I did get in my protein and water. But I am back to staying up late instead of going to bed early. I also still am struggling with my calf injury. I tried to take it easy this month and rest it up but I don't think I quite managed it. We'll see what happens in the next two weeks...
I will have to think about June goals. My goals are starting to turn into something generic like all those years I'd make a new year's resolution to lose weight and forget about it two weeks later. I need to focus and pick something I'm really going to work on!0 -
Just put this on the May page, so I will repost:
Just stopping by to tell you all goodbye for a little bit. I am leaving in the morning, and camping at the lake until Sunday night. I told my husband today that I am taking steaks to grill for our anniversary tomorrow night, and actually plan to eat one for the first time in about 18 months. But no potato - I bought fresh broccoli and tomatoes to cook with some dill and lemon pepper.
I am hoping for good weather. Forecast is for about 90 every day, and 65 at night, with the usual midwest "chance of thunderstorms." I'm sure that we won't get the snowstorm that we had last trip, but hoping for no tornadoes. They always kind of put a damper on the festivities while we look for cover.
I will really miss logging, since I am not even pre-logging like I usually do, but have my menu made and know that I am planning to eat good foods that will be in my plan. I will see you all next week, and until then, Here's to smart choices!0 -
Hi everyone,
Happy June. Just catching the thread.

Hey, I'm 57, going on 58, so I guess I fit in here.
Stats:
Feb: Lost 26 lbs since Feb 5, 2010 (16 of those since early March 2010, when I joined this site.)
May: Lost 5 lbs in May (about one lb per week , which is my goal.)
Jun: Plan to lose 4-6 lbs.
My final goal is 147 lbs, but I may aim for 142, once I attain 147.
I want a healthier body and to live at least 20 more years, God willing. My grandson (almost 6yo) is the primary person who keeps me moving. He loves to be chased and I like to speed-walk! Then I throw myself down on the couch and recuperate for about 15 minutes, before we start again.
Health issues:
- Fibromyalghia (trick--get up and moving. The pain gets much less with movement).
- Large abdominal hernia (from multiple abdominal issues and surgeries), so I have to exercise in ways that work my legs and arms and side abdominal muscles, instead of the rectus abdominal muscles--which are removed.) Chasing the grandson works very well for that, plus stretching and wearing an abdominal support.
I love having gone from a size 18 down to a size 14 (I'm almost to a size 12).
You-all take care of yourselves and have fun with life!0 -
I just turned 53 and would love to join your thread. This is new to me. Is there anything I'm supposed to do other than post?
I wish fantastic results for everyone in June:)

I’m back home after spending the weekend with family celebrating my DN’s (dear nephew’s) engagement and reveling in the sun. Even though I had a wonderful time, I’m glad to be back where I feel more in control of eating. The nibble-y stuff is hard – but getting easier.
My DN and his bride-to-be plan to get married on a mountaintop on July 3. Being thinner will make the trek (a short one) easier. I have to laugh though. They’ve invited about 350 people and are now telling people it’s going to be pretty rough going getting to the summit and it’s okay to just come for the reception. They are so young (22) and a great couple but not very practical! :laugh:
I'm happy with my progress (not perfection!) in meeting May goals...made the 1.5 to 2 lbs per week weight loss. Got as close as the hair on my chinny chin chin (half a pound) to losing 100 lbs by my birthday 5/20 from my most awful weight 9 years ago. Did better with exercise but still have a ways to go. And improved at counting my blessings. I am blessed in so many ways and a big part of that these days is all the encouragement from this great bunch. :flowerforyou:
Goals for June? Continue with 1.5 to 2 lbs weight loss per week. Get to the half-way point in reaching my goal weight. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week. Continue to count my blessings.

Mary, glad to see you back. Hope you had a nice birthday. I enjoyed listening to the music. Enjoy your anniversary camping trip. Steak sounds good and the healthy sides sound even better. That’s great progress.
Ainslieglen, welcome home! I like Crystal’s voice a little better than Lee’s, but I was still happy to see him win. I have to laugh at myself for being so addicted to that show. It’s a good kind of reality show. You have done really well with your weight loss, especially as you’ve been away from home so much. I don’t know how to explain the 5 lbs? Are you using a different scale? If not, your body is just messing with you. To actually gain 5 lbs of fat would mean eating an extra 17,500 calories. I doubt you’ve done that!
Jackie, maintaining is an accomplishment in and of itself. You’ll get going soon. I can hear it in your “voice!”
Barbie, good for you for getting out in the bad weather. You are a better woman than I am!
Robin, you’re DH sounds like a sweetie with his positive comments. I bet you look hot (!) in your size 10 jeans!
MacMadame, an anniversary date deserves celebrating. I hope you enjoyed every bite! And, getting more sleep than you did before falls right into that category of “progress not perfection.”
Barb, I hope you get your dry weather. We finally got a few days of it. Makes a nice change!
Viv, thanks for reminding me to be thankful. Today, on a personal level, I’m thankful to get back to logging what I eat accurately. On a larger level, I’m thankful to everyone in the military who’s given his or her life for us.
Welcome, zanniew. You’ve done really well. What do I do? Well, I’m in the “Just learning” phase. But, what I’ve learned works is to load up on all kinds of delicious and healthy fruits and veggies. I’m rebellious by nature and, when faced with temptation, tend to go for it. When I’m full of delicious foods the temptation just miraculously goes away! So…I’m not any better at resisting temptation but I am a lot better at avoiding it!
Barbara, your post made me smile! Thanks.
Terri, you gave us some wise advice. And you’re right about progress. I’m reminded of the saying, “Progress, not perfection.” When I was looking online for the source of that saying (It’s one of the 12 Steps), I came across someone’s comment that “progress is perfection.” I like that.
Kackie, I loved hearing about the boys. I’m glad it was a successful weekend.
VickiM, I’m glad you have such heartwarming memories of your mom. It sounds like you’re on track for a great June.
Faye, way to go on the exercise and weight loss. I hope it sticks and then some. Your hummus variation sounds mouth watering!
Donna, I’m glad you’re back. Getting to bed sounds like a great idea. MFP (this thread in particular) has kept me up for a good hour past my bedtime. Yawn.
Michelle, you did GREAT at the cookout. You made great choices. And you enjoyed them. I love it when we can try a little of the “old” stuff, realize it doesn’t taste all that good, then eat some of the “new” stuff and realize it’s wonderful.
Hello to BJB, Gail, and Lianne. This is a terrific thread, with lots of caring, sharing, and support. It’s changed my life.

:flowerforyou: Hi everyone

I'm going to be 51 in a fortnight, so thought I'd join in if that's ok with you guys.
I've managed to lose 62 pounds so far, but would really like to lose another 50. Because of arthritis in my knee and a bad back (which I broke many years ago), I am unable to do huge amounts of exercise, but do at least 30 minutes a day on the treadmill (not usually all in one go). The benefit of doing this at home is being able to stop as soon as I have to instead of having to worry about getting home again.
I lost 12 pounds in May and would love to lose at least 10 pounds in June.
My goals for June:
To lose 10 lbs
To speed up my walking on the treadmill
To never sit on the couch for longer than an hour at at time!0 -
:flowerforyou: Afternoon everyone .....Welcome to June ...cold and rainy here in N.Wales ...hope this isn't a foretaste of our June Weather!!
I've been up 2lb, down 2lb, up 2lb etc. for a while now ... I'm getting used to life's ups and downs!!
:flowerforyou: Welcome to any "Newbies" ...I'm not going to say Hi to the "Oldies" .....you're as old as you feel .Me? Don't ask!!
I'll be back later after hospital visiting and will try and post new goals for June.

Good morning ladies.
How did we do on the Core rehab/gut'n'butt challenge? I FLOPPED! Started strong then just "forgot"...Added it to June goals so it will be right in front of my eyes. Other May goals were a mixed bag. Averaged ok on exercise but most weekends were couchpotatohell. Only had to backtrack journal one day. The Lenten experiment has worked so reliably that it's an experiment no longer, part of my lifestyle.
Haven't got the notebook yet so today's gratitudes here: 1-dodged the upset stomach bullet last night, thanks to Vernor's ginger ale, 2-veterinarian Dr. Mike Koob who will do Robby's dental today, 3-comfy bed for a good night's sleep, 4-clean carpets for the gutt'n'butt, 5-DH who loves the dogs so much... and me!
Barbie-thank you so much for leading us on the next stage every month. Morning yoga with your DH sounds as precious as when I can tag along with Joe's morning dogwalks. You are right right right, never never never give up! Together we CAN do this.
Mimi 1.5-2 lbs/wk is progress-not-perfection? Sounds like a miracle to me! At best can average half that. Congratulation and thanks for the wise words!
Warm welcome to bjb, Gail and Tiarapants (love that name!)
Gotta dash, have to take the General in early and he's already antsy wondering why his graham cracker magic and breakfast are not forthcoming!
Happy Healthy Mindful June to all!0 -
Good morning everyone - and welcome to all the newcomers! I've got my FIL visiting this week - unexpectedly but nice just the same - just means a lot of care and attention needs to be paid and less time for a long post, but also need to make sure that the dog doesn't knock him over as he's not as steady on his pins as he once was.
A quick update on my stress test - which turned out to be more me stressing than anything else. I did it last Friday afternoon and my doc called yesterday to say "all was normal, and that I can exercise as much as I want" which translates into "get off your butt and get moving girl" - she wasn't impressed with my workout routine of walking an elderly arthritic dog, my heart needs a better workout than 3 mph! I agree with her, so my June goals will need to reflect that! Just I'm sooooo lazy sometimes:ohwell: :frown: Thank-you again for all the encouragement though - I really hate going into things without knowing exactly what I'm up for!! (a mild case of OCD I think!! )
A confession too - I've been a poser here for the last month, I don't really turn 50 until Friday! :laugh: :laugh: I'm happy about my upcoming birthday - 40 seemed so traumatic and was marked with a big party, cards with oh so witty remarks and pink flamingos on the lawn but this year we're going to see the Blue Jay beat the Yankees! :laugh: I'm much happier in my skin, I love my grey highlights and the wisdom lines across my brow but mostly I can't wait to lose the 80lbs and walk the Camino. There, I've come clean. :happy:
I'm happy too that I've found you all - I get far more from reading all the posts and the support given to each other is so encouraging :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Enjoy the day - :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hello all and welcome to everyone new!
I did not do well with May and I look forward to being able to set goals again this month. On the Gut&Abs challenge - I did OK. I did not loose any inches but I can tell the difference in my lower abs already. I plan to keep it up for the summer. I'm doing the pelvic lifts and the marching for now. DD started with those until she was strong enough to do the next two. She said I was not doing the side planks or crunches correctly, so I put them aside until I get stronger muscles down there.
I will set my goals some time today. Oh, for May I did not gain or loose any weight.
I could not read the posts for some reason. The page opened up funny. I will read them later.

:flowerforyou: Welcome to our new ladies!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: You've found a wonderfully supportive group here at MFP.
May goals: 1) To remember to drink my water! 2) To eat breakfast EVERY DAY! 3) To work out every morning before work, 4) NO MORE NIGHTTIME SNACKING!
I did pretty well on my May goals but, even though I did cut out most of my nighttime snacking I still eat too much junk. I am going to change that goal to no more junk foods and I am changing #3 to: work out for 40-60 minutes every day. I really want to get to an hour of 'formal' exercise every morning and I am getting there!
We have sunshine--for the moment. There are dark clouds off in the distance so I guess we'll be back to rain soon.:grumble:
Have a great day everyone!0 -

Just a quick in and out here to mark my spot. Lots of running around today including the dentist (oh joy:ohwell: ) Gotta pack a lunch so I can grab a bite before hitting the gym.

Greetings all and Happy Summer!! The weather should catch up eventually!! We are overcast and somewhat cool this morning but the birds are singing and my garden could use the rain so I'll choose to be happy about any rain that wants to come our way.
Thanks Barbie for starting the new thread and Mimi for your kind words. I'm not sure how wise I am, but I am trying to adopt the 12-step lifestyle for my compulsive overeating! One day at a time I am making progress towards sanity.
Welcome to bjberry, Gail, tiarapants and Mermaid. You have indeed joined a great group!
May Goals:
Walk or swim every day! - Nope, not EVERY day. Did pretty good considering an inflamed big toe at the start of the month & vacation
Count and log all your calories. – HA, Not even close!!
Stay in touch and on-line at MFP. – Bombed out on this one too!
Lose 3 pounds this month! - Does losing the same pound three times count???
As you can see, I really did bomb out on last month’s goals. Being gone from 5/8 through 5/26 didn’t help! I’ll do better this month as work and vacation interruptions are behind me now.
First week of June Goals:
1. Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes/day 7 days in a row.
2. Measure, weigh and log all my food for 7 days in a row.
3. Keep daily calories at or near 1,200. ... That's it.
Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!0 -
holy cow look at all the posts and all the newcomers. Welcome newbies.
Cathy - no biggy about not being 50 yet. You saw that I just hit it last thursday so I am right there with you.
My goals for June
continue to workout like a maniac. I am currently walking/jogging 6-10 miles M-F and walking 3 on Saturday. M-F I am doing the ChaLean Extreme program for strength training. M-F I am doing the 30 day Shred. I am doing Zumba twice a week and I have two weeks left on the EA Active 6 week Challange on Wii (on the hard setting) I also Wii Fit once or twice a week. If the weather ever gets nice I have lots of gardenting and wall building to do as well.
With the exercise I hope to maintain my 1.5-2 pound a week weightloss. I plan to continue to drink my 16-18 glasses of water per day and to get even closer to my macronutrient goals while maintaining my calorie goals.
I hope you all hve a great day and heres to June:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -
:flowerforyou: I love being able to read the posts while I have my breakfast and the first day of the month is especially wonderful. I am glad to see new members join us.....Welcome !!!!......we were all new here once and found out that joining was as easy as posting and then remembering to post again at least a few times a week......we talk about all sorts of things and mostly encourage each other along the weight loss highway.
:flowerforyou: How did I do in May? I maintained my weight, finally started doing yoga on a fairly regular basis, traded the easy pilates I was doing for the exercises in the "Gut 'N' Butt" challenge, and completely bombed at taking regular walks with DH entirely because of the nasty Pacific Northwest weather....we walked daily while we were in California on vacation
:flowerforyou: My goals for June will be the "Gut 'N' Butt" challenge exercises, yoga (with DH who decided a week ago that he wants to do it every morning) and with the cooperation of the weather to take regular walks with DH.......today he is playing golf in the drizzly weather.
:flowerforyou: I lowered my weight goal again so I'd like to lose those next two pounds this month, but more importantly, I wanted to get my peanut butter eating under control again and increase my exercise and if the pounds come off, that's great.
:flowerforyou: Robin, I am inspired by your exercise and will strive to be more like you
:flowerforyou: tiarapants, I like your goal to not sit on the couch for more than an hour, for me it will be to not stay on the computer for more than an hour.
Having said that, I need to get moving and make good use of having the house to myself for a few hours......it is rare, since DH and I do everything together except that he usually plays golf on days when I'm at dance class. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: 0 -
Welcome to the month of June and to all the newcomers! :flowerforyou: You are not alone anymore.... and are connected to women all over the world!
I remained the same weight this month :ohwell: but have been over my calories quite a few times. :blushing: I will try this month to lose 2 lbs (as I only care to lose 7 more) and continue to exercise daily as well as make good food choices. Since I've been connected to this site, a BAD day is almost what a GOOD day was before!!!!:laugh: :laugh:
Have a great day and a great month!!!:flowerforyou:

I am new to MFP - Started May 17th and have lost six pounds this month. and 21 pounds since I retired. I'm 61 years old For me, its a family affair. My older brother, his wife, his daughters and my sister are all on MFP now. We are cheering eachother on.
In May, I stayed within my calories, drank my water, logged daily,and exercised at least 3 times a week. I added strength training last week. For June, I've set goals as follows: log daily, stay within calories, drink water, use strength training equipment at the Y at 3 times a week, aerobic exercise at least 3 times a week.0 -
Mary - have a great time camping. Is it tent camping or popup?
Welcome BJB! Wow, that's impressive how you lost those dress sizes! Welcome, Gail! No, there's nothing you are "supposed" to do. Well, I take that back. There IS one thing -- have a good time! And tiarapants -- what an interesting name. Is there a story behind that name? Can't forget mermaid, either. Welcome!
Yes, it feels very good to taste the "old" stuff and find that I'd really prefer the "healthy" foods. The biggest problem seems to be that most people want the "old" stuff -- the hot dogs, the macaroni salad, the hamburgers, and don't forget the pickles (I passed on them, just thought of all the sodium) and ketchup and other condiments. It almost seems that if I don't bring something that I'll eat, there's almost nothing that I'd like to eat. Well, I guess it COULD be worse. Now, don't ask me to explain this, but today the WiiFit says that I LOST 2 lbs. I'm thinking that it's because I got a decent amount of sleep last night. The night before I was up because Vince got home from the race late.
Jackie - I feel 39! I just don't talk about the days when I feel 69.
This a.m. I had steel cut oats mixed with some Activia, and then had some chicken. It must be all the protein in the chicken because I'm not hungry at all, and it's almost 3:00
Going to post to mark the spot. Hope everyone has a great day!

June goals, h-m-m-m.
Now that school is out, I'm trying to regroup and relose the weight that I gained this spring. So, I plan(not hope!) to lose 3-4 pounds, eat lots of fresh vegetables and grilled foods, and exercise daily(even if it's only for a little while).
It's good to be back.0 -
Happy JUNE everyone and especially welcome to the newcomers! The more the merrier especially on this journey. My posts opened up funny too, although I tried to read them all. It is inspiring to read what everyone is planning to do this month!
My May goal was to lose 3 pounds: Lost only 2 and gained one of them back last night it seems
I DID keep with the Gut N Butt challenge (as well as my Shred video every other day) and my measurements at least were rewarding. I lost 1 inch off the Butt (MUCH NEEDED) and 1 inch off each upper thigh. My waist appears to be the same but I didn't measure except one place and think I should have measured more because my clothing is certainly looser in the middle...A VERY good thing!
SO....results on the scale were not too fantastic but I think I look better and my clothing certainly fits better, so all in all...a good month!
I look forward to having time to reply more to everyone next time I log on. For now, I need to go clean and do more loads of laundry to catch up after the busy weekend. The start of a new month is very hopeful isn't it? Take care all 0 -
I put my June goals in my siggy. I have been kind of discouraged with my calf injury. It's really been impacting my workouts and stressing me out because I feel like I'm falling farther and farther behind in my training. I keep thinking about the Ironman in Nov. and how I won't be ready, if I keep going on like this.
So I talked to my coach and we agreed that instead of doing the Half-ironman at the end of July, I'd do a Full AquaBike which is being held the same day on the same course. This means instead of doing 70.3 miles of swimming, biking & running, I'll be doing 114.4 miles of swimming (2.4 mi) and biking (112) only.
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders by making this decision and I'm excited about my training again.
I don't have to worry about training my run for at least two months, but I will be training my swim and bike in a forward direction instead of stagnating.
Since I've already done a Half-ironman and on a tougher course, I felt like training for the Half-ironman without running would be going backwards but training to do the whole thing with running wouldn't let me heal my calf properly. But this way I will have done the swim and bike part of the Ironman and will have 3.5 months to bring my running up to par with with the swimming and biking. I think that's very doable.
Hopefully that made sense. I tried not to use too much triathlon jargon. :laugh:
On and later today I am going to a "shopping party" that benefits Team in Training and I'll be able to spend money on sports equipment and not feel guilty because it's for a good cause! :flowerforyou:0 -

I agree! Have you heard the latest combination pizza??? Macaroni and cheese on top of a pizza! Yuck!!! :noway: :noway:
Yesterday my hubby and I went to the the beach and wanted to stop at a particulat restaurant on the way home. They didn't have any tables, so we left and went by an ice cream place. Now they make homemade icecream to die for....but...I told him I really wanted some fish with steamed veggies...so we went back to the restaurant and waited for a table. Kind of blows my mind as before I would have wanted both!!!!!:laugh:

Hello All,
Posting to get this new month in my topics.
Newbies, welcome. This is a great group.
Caught up on reading, good to hear what all have been up to but NO WAY can I reply specifically-don't have that many years left!!:noway: :huh: :laugh:
May ended with a thud. Although I did get back down to my lowest weight during the month, "life" and poor choices intervened and I "found" 4 pounds that I swore were lost "forever." Even though I am not working right now, it seems impossible to get anything accomplished, and I am so sick of the weather I could SCREAM. We managed a semi-sunny afternoon on Monday, but this afternoon, we are supposed to get dumped on again.
I did manage to arrange to avoid one thing I was not looking forward to doing. In order to get my ins license more quickly, I was going to drive round trip 200 miles to our state capitol to get the processing done in person, and had tried to arrange to meet a friend from further north of there for lunch. He isn't able to go on the day I decided to make the trip, so I mentioned this to my other good friend, who recently was licensed and had made the trip up there a couple of weeks ago. She had the idea that we could go up together and a friend of hers, whom she missed on her last trip, could meet us.
This morning, I got up and had a brilliant idea, since I don't personally have to be present to get the license processed, I could offer to pay for her gas and SHE can go up there and do it for me. I called and suggested it and she agreed, so I don't have to do that, at least, on Thursday.
I have a lot to do today and can't seem to get started, so I need to get out of my chair and off the pc to salvage what is left of the afternoon.
Probably will be doing more "lurking" in next few days than I have been.

:flowerforyou: Evening everyone
1st of June and it has rained almost non stop today, so much for “flaming June” :noway:
:flowerforyou: Mary have a great time camping, hope the weather is good for you and no tornadoes. Enjoy your steak and Happy Anniversary for tomorrow.
:flowerforyou: Welcome Lianne, BJB Gail Mermaid2010 and AnnePDixon this is a great group.
:flowerforyou: Welcome also Tiarapants 12lbs lost in May wow that’s really good, I am struggling to lose 3lbs in one Month. I love your goal to never sit on the couch for longer than half an hour at a time. I think I might add that one to my ticker. Barbie I have just read your post too about not spending more than an hour at the computer. That’s also a good one, but I have been on almost an hour now just reading all the posts and making notes and I haven’t even entered my food yet. So I think I will find that one hard to keep.:bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: Jackie You must be having similar weather in North Wales to us here in Yorkshire. Hope June is a better month for you weather wise and weight wise (and for me too!)
:flowerforyou: Barbara I was also a flopper with the Gut and Butt challenge, :frown: but I am going to TRY and do it everyday in June I’ll add that to my ticker too. By the way what is Lenten Lifestyle?
:flowerforyou: Cathy Happy Birthday for Friday
My May Goals were To lose 3lbs and keep it off. Think I met this one. Go to bed before 11:30 Met this one most nights. DRINK MORE WATER failed with this one Do a workout at least once a week failed big time with this one don’t think I did one work out the whole of May.:embarassed: Weigh in every Saturday Met this one. I’ve added my June goals and I hope this is the month I get my act together and start to exercise. I have found some great exercise videos on youtube and also on another fitness website I just lack motivation at the moment. I know it is no good me just watching the videos I have to actually do them to get the benefit.
Well I have been on the PC for over an hour now, so I’d better say goodnight. :yawn: :yawn:

Hi everyone....Happy June to all of you
MY annual check up went really well today. Dr. G. was pleased with my weight loss and the fact that I am exercising regularly. I owe this discipline and determination to mfp and all the support and inspiration I get here. Thank you for encouraging me every day and helping me do something for myself that I couldn't seem to do alone. :bigsmile: It's so good to be a part of this group effort to do better and be better!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I WILL drink more water!
Mimi: I AM using a different scale since getting back. Plus I checked sodium for the last week and a couple of days I used 3 times what was recommended. I don't think the salt is the culprit. Now that I can blame the scale, I'll see about getting it recalibrated or turf it and get a new, reliable one. The scale at Dr. G's office was accurate ( I believe) and didn't shaw the extra 5 pounds:bigsmile:
Robin, you're such an inspiration to get moving even more!
myny: See? you're doing it! Posting daily and watching calories. Way to go!
Hi Rebel, and Weaklink and Kackie! I'm going to read all the new posts this evening and catch up on the news!
Have a good evening:flowerforyou: ainslieglen0 -
