Claudine,
As a friend of mine recently sent to me: "L'alcool ne résout pas les problèmes...mais le lait et l'eau non plus." Or translated: Alcohol doesn't solve problems...but milk and water don't either. :laugh:

???? Hi ALL -
- just found this thread...and of course it interested me right away (being as young as I am ????) ....been on this site for quite a while and without a lot of 'loss', however I do believe that if I never got on this site I would have gained and been in a worse way than I am now.... need more motivation from a group that understand the journey that 'we' more mature folks face each day..
Thanks - have a great day! ????

thanks for the welcome. I agree with you completely, Pamela, without the group, I know I won't be able to stick with the correct choices. In fact, that's why I chose the picture that I did - symbolizing our group holding hands, working together, being there for encouragement and congrats . And Charlie, what a great quote! wine also happens to be one of my favorite fruit groups - I'm trying to abstain most of the time (again a choice that I need to make) but when I do have it, I enjoy it.0

Charlie, I like that. My brother always says "L'alcool tue lentement, mais je ne suis pas presse." Translation "Alcohol slowly kills you but I'm not in a hurry."

Hi everyone!!
I know I am a day late & yes probably a dollar short, also!!
Welcome to all of our newbies!! This is a SUPER GREAT bunch that take care of each other.
I did have a loss this week = 2.2 lb.
But, I know I must really watch myself.
I haven't been walking but today I feel better than I have in a couple of weeks, so hopefully I can walk this evening when it cools off.
I am so totally proud of our 60'S GROUP!! :flowerforyou:
Onward and downward we go! :happy:0 -
Thursday check in for Wednesday...
Just occurred to me, we are really stuck on those Norse gods - Thor, Woden, Freya...
Dropped a pound this week. More importantly, I'm getting in the habit of going to the gym each morning at 6am before work.
For those people that miss the gym, there are many exercises that do not require equipment. The book "You are Your Own Gym' by Mark Lauren covers every muscle you own and he is smart enough to provide alternatives so you can tone it back to within your capabilities. Sometimes I find it fun to use the fancy machines at a gym. When I use my own self, I work more muscles to maintain stability. I still refer back to that book and can keep up the workouts while visiting relatives0 -
Hi All... Happy Friday!
Wooken - I love your new duck photo. I could use that duck. It's been pouring out here for days!
Pam - Welcome! You and I started MFP about the same time. We've both hung in this long, so I know we can make progress with support from this group. They're awesome!
ukaryote - Thanks for the book recommendation. I'm going to check that out. It sounds like something I'd really like.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. :happy:
