Have a great day everyone

Traveler61: Thanks for the tip about the walking the pounds away DVD. I think I'm going to try it! I'd like to get something to track my steps. A friend, also, suggested the FitBit, but I thought it was too fancy for what I needed. I think I'll start with a less expensive pedometer (if I can find one), but I think the idea of the DVD will help!
Thank you!

Alright – Logged my day, with the bad stuff too; and have not had dinner yet… and just heard my roomie is bring me pizza... yumm but grr the calories... 1 piece and salad..
Owning it will help tomorrow be a better day…
Anamika – welcome, missed you - I love hearing from everyone living in different places; makes my world broader.
Lesley – glad you are happy! And 11+K steps by 4pm is great
Cynthia – loved the apple thing! I might try that!
Jlisah – welcome; any chance you could walk at lunch? I walk in the morning sometimes it is dark, but I have a very alert dog with me…other wise I am not sure how safe I would feel.
Viv – in the states we have a canned beverage called Ensure it is sort of a liquid meal replacement filled with nutrients… I wonder if that would help.
Barb – welcome, we are a very supportive group - I find if I fall off I try to have it be for just one meal..then it doesn’t get the better of me..
Joyce – hoping that Charlie can see that anyone of any color can be a great person…
Terri – 20lbs by June 1st? That is a pretty long time…. You can do that.
Margaret – beautiful!!!
Traveler – Some days I read every post other days I skim… I do best if I check twice a day then it isn’t so much at once…
Sjb5577 – I got a fitbit and love it. I had trouble with pedometers staying on my waist, so this which is on my wrist works perfect for me.
November Goals:
Walk every day
Log all bites everyday

Did an hour on the recumbant bike today. mostly it was a preporgram that used different resistances. Tomorrow's plan is to do the last segment of the butt lift DVD, hold my plank and then take the extremepump class.
Made some cornmeal muffins. I've asked Ken & Lynette if they'd like to come for dinner next Saturday. These muffins are made with kefir. So I'll see if they're sweet enough. Personally, I think they have good flavor. Guess I can make more for Thanksgiving and take some to Rummikub next week (I'll freeze them).
This afternoon there is this artist show that we should go to. Not that we're terribly interested, but one lady who is going to be there usualy goes shooting with Vince and she wants us to come.
Trish - welcome! You are so right in logging EVERYTHING, no matter how bad it is. Eventually, you'll get to where it's really not that bad. We all start somewhere and coming here is the best place for you to start. Nope, Australia is out of sync, not only with the time but also with the weather. But I find it so interesting to read all about life over there. We have a few people here from Australia, so you're not the only Aussie. Great goals!
Kim - at Apple Hill did they have apples that you could buy?
Anamika - good to see you again. Hope to see you more often
Cynthia - how long do I thaw the bananas? A lot depends on the size of the banana, if there is one on top of the other, how much room do they have to thaw (how much of their exterior is exposed to the air). Basically, I do it until they are "mushy". Sometimes, I admit, I will thaw them in the microwave.
I just made another batch of those cornbread muffins. To me, they have quite good taste
Penny - I love spaghetti squash. To me, the worst part of it is having to cut it open! A nice thing is that you can buy a few and they will keep for a long time. Yes, it IS filling, and for only a few calories (works for me)
DeeDee - Vince started to take pics, but then it started raining and he didn't want the camera to get all wet. He said that he would like to take some more, but we'll have to wait until it gets darker out. Don't worry, they'll come. Just maybe a bit late this year (thank you Mother Nature). I'm sorry your dinner didn't work out
jlisah - welcome! Sorry to say, your doc is wrong! The weight WILL come off, but it just takes hard work, consistency, and it doesn't happen as quickly as when we were in our 20's. But it DOES come off.
Viv - so sorry to hear about dh. Sending good vibes to you
myrtfgo - welcome! Honesty in logging food is so important, great goals
barb - welcome! You can bet that everyone on here knows exactly where you're coming from. We all started there at one time.
Jan - LOL putting your yoga instructor on retainer. Hey, that's not a bad idea!
Joyce - you have such a wonderful way of looking at your daughter's situation. That would be me. I have a friend who is transgender. We met a while ago when he was in Virginia. I asked Vince if he wanted to come with me and he said "no, that's just not right". Personally, he's a wonderful man, married to a wonderful (trans) woman. I'm proud to call them my friends. They are so warm, open, and loving.
Sylvia - yea, Spot must have had a really bad experience with the bath. We're convinced that one way that Lexi was tortured was that she was constantly given baths and held under the water. When we got her, she was all bandaged up from the dislocated hip. When the vet finally took the bandage off, there was all this sticky stuff on her fur. We thought for sure we'd have to give her a bath. But she groomed herself so well that in the (I think it's been about) six years we've had her, we've never once given her a bath. She got all that sticky stuff off her. She's so meticulous. Hopefully, Spot will be the same way. I'm going to try to post a pic of her when we got her just to see what happens. Happy birthday to your hubby
Heather - hope you feel better fast
Jane - sending you virtual chicken soup
Margaret - beautiful picture!
Pat - 20 lbs of ground beef! Lady, what are you planning to do with it all????
This afternoon went to this artist show. Really, I wasn't all that interested but one of the ladies who shoots with Vince from the Newcomers said "you WILL be there" to Vince. Another Newcomer was showing his artwork. He's a real good artist. There were others showing their work, too. Didn't buy anything.
Before we went there, stopped at WalMart. Returned this cream cheese I got, they only had the fat free and I really wanted the 1/3 less fat. Got some pudding and flour that was on sale at WalGreen. Then we got some Christmas inflatables (like we need more). Vince saw these Yoda and Darth Vader ones so he HAD to get them. There was this Santa spaceship one that's 12' (yes, feet) tall and since we have a Santa spaceman, we thought that might be good. Then bought gas, went to the Artist show, came home and made dinner, went on the computer some and then did more of the plastic canvas. I'm getting a bit bored with it, just want to finish it up. Roasted a butternut squash. I saw this recipe for butternut squash fries, but I think its not as much work to just roast the squash
Tomorrow we have senior bowling and then I have mahjongg at night.
Terri - good luck to you, and don't push yourself so hard that you hurt yourself and are down for the count

Hi everyone
Thanks for the warm welcome Went well yesterday food wise although my steps were abit short being Sunday. I was out at 5.30am walking this morning with "Jess" the border collie. I also had a lunchtime walk but have to say the lunchtime walk was a real "head" battle as I had urgent stuff people were waiting for. However sanity prevailed and I walked for 30 minutes, so I am going okay with my mini goals.
It is a nice 22 degree Celsius here today - lovely weather to get outside.
Trish0 -
Good late evening. Our get to know you with Michelle's boyfriend went well. I must say he is the blackest man I have ever seen! And he wore all black clothes. So after they left I texted Michelle to see what he thought of us. He said that he could really tell that I am Michelle's Mom because of our similar sense of humor and how we got along. And he is just like Charlie in that they can both come up with real quick one liners. So they went on and on coming up with one liners. I can tell he came from a very proper African American family, highly polished manners, He referred to us as Maam and Sir the entire time. Charlie did end up offering for them to go out to supper with us but they had other things to do. I had a special practice at church for our ladies trio so Charlie went to sit and wait for me there. It was the first time in a good many years that he had been in a church. He agreed it looked like a good ol' traditional Southern Baptist church, just like I was wanting. He did attend with me a long time ago and got into several arguements with people and quit. He thinks people are supposed to be perfect if they go to church. If they aren't then they are hypocrits and he does not like hypocrits at all so why should he be a part of a church that has them. He sang in the choir with me and has a wonderful voice but he likes to be the star of the song and that doesn't fit well in a church choir.
I love the eagle Margaret. It looks like it came from an Audobon Society magazine!!!
My Halloween candy is gone, gone, gone. And yes, I confess a lot of it went in me. But I did put it all in the diary. Now I just have to get through Christmas.
I can't remember who was talking bout holiday food and how they were going to handle it, Maybe Heather??? We use fancy paper plates, I know Mom, I am so sorry. So they aren't big. I don't go back for seconds. Any kind of food I can get any day of the week I don't eat. That's like rolls, mashed potatoes and unfortunately green beans. I take small helpings of the others. I take slivers of the pies. I'm not really that fond of pumpkin pie so I take pecan and apple with a tiny bit of lite cool whip on it. I make a corn casserole and that is one of my favorite things so that is hard to control my portion. I try to enjoy the people and especially all the kids and not eat.
Joyce, Indiana0 -
It's been a productive weekend and enjoyable also. Saturday was Costco day and I knew it would be a big bill as I haven't been in a while. They always have good deals that you think you can't pass up.
Had to clean out the fridge before I could put things away. Yuck! One of the jobs I hate the most.
Gordon Lightfoot concert with DH. I would recognize that voice any where.
Today it was a movie and dinner out with friends. I can't resist popcorn and pop while watching a movie. DH suggested will power and I wanted to poke him in the eye. I so obviously don't have any.
Tomorrow DH has to call the specialist. He has had two colonoscopies since his bout with diverticulitis that turned him greyish green and had him admitted to the hospital. Several months apart and they still couldn't get through. Calgary for him.
Terri- Good luck on your work contest.
Joyce- Glad you have your lap top back.
Sylvia - liked the imagery of your progress with Model My Diet
Katla - I hate the time change. I live in a province that does it . I don't understand what good it does and takes me so long to adjust.
Margaret - Great shot of the eagle.
Yannijannie - Glad you were able to go to yoga. Back pain is so hard to deal with. Do you find that tai chi helps? Hop you feel better.
November Goals
1. Drink enough water each day
2. Make a menu plan for each week.
3. Do something active at least 3x week
4. Write every day
5. Connect with people.

morning ladies~
up early and having my tea.. it was windy as all get out yesterday and still quite windy today,I am just glad I am not up Maine, they got clobbered with snow..
I tell you I will NOT miss it when we go to Florida..
I am so tired of the political ads , I am not really interested, and the 2 dopes we have running for govenor are going to take Ct down even worse than it is...49% of people asked in Ct want to move out of the state, the only states more expensive are,California and Hawaii... sad very sad..
work at 10:30 this morning,and will get the DH dinner and lunch together before I go...0 -
Good Morning! I am brand new to this group but absolutely OLD HAT at diet/weight loss/exercise program regimens ... you name it, I probably tried it. My life has been a series of successes and failures ... just like everybody else. What I have learned (and keep learning all the time) is that no matter how far off the path we stray, no matter how long we travel down the wrong path... we can always turn around and get back on. Just Do It... but don't do it alone. Never Never Never give up.
October was a reset, a "turn around and get back on the path" towards good health and fitness. I am fighting depression right now. My Mom passed away in June quite suddenly and I fight with deep sadness and grief. I spent the summer doing the best I could to take care of her affairs. I am far from done. My mom lived in Texas, I live in New York... It isn't easy. But that cannot be an excuse for ignoring the importance of eating healthy and getting into shape. I want to live as long and healthy as possible for my children and grandchildren. I want to be happy. I will be 60 in December. I have RA which is aggravated by stress. Life is very short and I want to make what I have left count.
November Goals: Weight Bearing Exercise three times a week. Swim morning laps Five times a week. Record all of my food intake. Stay within the 1200 cal per day (eating the right foods.. non processed, home cooked meals) Journalize daily and find some new supportive friends. My weight loss goal is 40 pounds.0 -
Good morning everyone! :flowerforyou: I'm back! Not quite fighting fit, but much improved.
I had no energy left yesterday. Sorry for ignoring you all. :ohwell:
I won't be replying to people, though I have read it all.
Most importantly DH did have THAT conversation with DSIL'S ex. He is a hero.
I don't suppose much of it went in as the man has a personality disorder, but it certainly made DH feel better! ! ! ! 
Secondly I did not put on any weight! Hooray! Drank too much, but kept eating well under control and we went for 70 minutes brisk walk round a lake so altogether racked up 785 calories exercise that day. :bigsmile: Was good yesterday with no exercise for leeway.
Thirdly - there was bad news on the nephew and the marriage break up front. The wife has gone back to the Philippines with the child, ostensibly to see her mother, but now says she is going to leave the child over there and come back here to earn money. Poor DSIL was tearful.
- I love my DSIL very dearly, but always experience a grest desl of frustration around her. She is very disorganised and can't plan very easily, so things take a long time and often she doesn't grasp logistics. She is going to have an extension built on the back of her house, but has no idea what is going to happen. I find it all very difficult to bite back my words when I can see disaster looming, but it isn't my place to intervene and she can get upset.
This weekend there was a situation about how she was to buy our birthday presents and I ended up having a row with DH about it! Such a waste of energy. My collapse this weekend was something to do with getting wound up. I must learn to detatch myself and not try to sort things out for other people when it is none of my business. But I couldn't help it when she was making plans for Christmas without taking into consideration that the building work may have started! ! ! ! :sad: I have invited her and her daughter for Christmas Day, but I don't know if that will suit them. Not a problem for us, as we will be here whatever. My grandchildren and family are coming before Christmas.
DON'T LET THE PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! :laugh:
OK, enough venting!

Forgot to post this site,new to me. More recipes for chicken......seems we all eat lits of chicken.

Barbiecat - You are a wise chick! LOVE your quotes! Adopting two immediately: "Act the way you want to feel" and "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of good"
Ate about 430 "snack size" candies last week. I'm usually pretty good about eating clean but the barn door opened and "what the heck" took over. Needless to say: the candy meets the trash today and I am embarking on a 21 day cleanse. For me a cleanse is clean eating, less wine , less calories (better calories!), and higher intensity workouts.
Advice I got a while ago: You are most successful when your values and your goals are aligned. I have been slipping back into my old lazy ways and unfortunately so has my family. My goal is for us to be healthy and active together. Starting today!!!

I have been inspired by my friends who have food allergies or who follow abstinence plans for compulsive overeating. They know that there are foods that they don't eat and are as strict about it as an alcoholic who doesn't drink "no matter what" or a married woman who doesn't follow her attraction to the cute guy at the gym. I have a friend who when offered dessert says "That's not my food".

Tracenco~ you and me both sista... have been so bad and fell off the wagon.

Good morning all -
Lots of new posts to catch up on . . .so much great information and tips. Thank you all!
I was reading over old journals last night and came across the below . . .a good reminder I think .
Habits of naturally thin people (or women under 50+ LOL): They:
Eat three meals a day
Eat 1 Instagram worthy meal a day
Leave a little bit on their plate
Make conscious decisions to eat nutritiously most of the time
Let food be food
Avoid an all-or-nothing mentality
Get back on track the very next day
Don't have off limit foods
Drink tons of water
My favorite is to let food be food - not a reward; not a crutch, not a stress reliever . .that is my take away because it is something I need to work on . .
Have a beautiful day!

Good morning everyone. I'm sitting at my desk in the studio with Spot curled up on a pillow by my feet sleeping sweetly. I have some graphics work to do this morning, laying out a poster and postcard for an upcoming show with our pottery group. That is always a hassle because I don't do it often enough to be really good at it. But my friends all seem to like it every year, and none of them want to do it. So, lucky me! I need to get it to the printer this week.
Yesterday afternoon the younger DGD and I baked cupcakes for her girl scout troop meeting which is tonight. I have to stop and get some chocolate milk for them to drink and have her there at 6pm.
I was somewhat annoyed with the Y yesterday. We signed this same DGD up for basketball (which she REALLY wants to do) and we never got a call saying when they would meet. I called and talked to the sports director and he checked and said that the coach sent out a mass text alert saying when to meet, and we did not respond so they took her name off the list. I do not have texting on my plan!!!! And nobody bothered to call on the actual phone (on any of the three numbers we gave them), so she missed a week of practice and games. I told them that not everybody does texting, but he seemed to think I was the only one.
The scale was very kind to me this morning. It was a big surprise because I felt totally overfed last night, with supper I had two Kings Hawaiian Rolls (bread is on my list of banned substances) and a tiny piece of cheesecake along with my ambrosia chicken and sweet potato. But I checked the BMI calculator this morning and saw that I am STILL in the obese category. 7 more pounds to go till I'm just overweight. I'm really anxious to be overweight!
A guy called from Parsons (about 40 miles away) to see if Spot was his dog. He couldn't tell from the picture on Facebook. But it turns out his dog was a girl. I'm pretty sure facebook said that Spot is a boy. Oh well, at least somebody called.
Last night when Bruno and Spot got out of the house, Bruno ran off with two other dogs but Spot made a bee-line to me. He doesn't want to let me out of his sight for a minute. It's kind of cute. I'm going to have to put the cone of shame on him though. He just won't stop scratching. The flea pills and flea drops have helped, but he has some existing itches that are driving us both crazy.
Saturday night, he had a little accident in the house. He still can't figure out the doggie door, and he didn't come wake me up, so he peed on the tile. It left a lighter spot on the tile, and I can't seem to get rid of it. It's a dark gray porcelain tile. When I make pottery and test a new glaze, I put lemon juice (or anything acidic) on a test tile to see if it discolors. If it discolors, the glaze is not stable. I have a feeling that is what is happening with our floor tiles. So, not wanting to have another discolored tile, I got up at 2am and 4am to let him out. Needless to say, I did not sleep well.
Well, I have got to get busy. Have a great day everyone!

Good morning all........
and an early thank you to all who accept my friendship requests. I am going to upload a few more pictures today so those who accept can see who I am.
Food yesterday was great!! I'm so thankful. It was a quiet day at home but with a major clean the fridge, and now it looks so clean. To go along with my healthy food!!
Lost 4# to day and feeling more and more confident we can do this, even in our 50's!!
Question on exercise, trying to decide what to do.
When you exercise, do you eat those calories back to still hit your minimum intake for the day or not?
thanks everyone and have a healthy day!!
Marilyn/Mpls MN0 -
I'd like to be part of your group. You all seem so nice.
My goal for November is to lose 10 lbs. That is pretty ambitious because I don't exercise at all and every day I seem to go 100-200 calories over my goal. I plan to attempt a walk (have a pinched nerve in my back) and see how far I can go.
I have invited a large crowd to my house for Thanksgiving. Thinking of the menu and am torn between making the traditional items and giving it a more healthy spin. For the sake of the children I will make the Thanksgiving that looks like the pictures they've colored in school. We have other family member who have lost a lot a weight and I want to accommodate them also. Any ideas are welcome of how I can achieve this?0 -
Quick check in, then getting ready to take friend for medical testing and meeting DD prior to that for Thai food for lunch. Dishwasher run, laundry done, birds fed, been to the gym for the ladies exercise class......frankly, I'm ready for a nap now but no such thing on the horizon.
Sharon.. I find yoga to be much more helpful for my back than tai chi but I suppose it all helps a little.
janemartin and Heather........hope both are feeling better and calmer (Heather)--deep breaths..........
Got to run.
Stay strong!

Good Morning All ! ! !
Sharon, I agree about willpower for popcorn. it just isn't a movie without popcorn. I have found that if I skip the butter and add flavored salt, i am satisfied, and am less likely to go terribly over (but retain a lot of water from the salt). Good luck finding what works for you.
Cherbrundage - Welcome. I am new to the group also, and also have RA. I was only diagnosed a little over a year ago, but it seriously inhibits my ability to exercise some days. This month I'm going to try for 15 minutes on the exercise bike during my lunch break every day that I get a lunch break.
Heather (and everyone else struggling) - Prayers for your family (and friends).
The work contest (20 pounds by June 1) should be good; it's only an average of 3 pounds per month. There are now 5 of us in the contest.
Thursday evening I am seeing Kenny Rogers in concert. I won the tickets from a local radio station. Not sure if I'm taking a buddy from way back in High School, or my Dad, but I'm really looking forward to it. (DH not interested).
Terri in cold and sunny Milwaukee0 -
Read through all the posts and caught up but will not have time to respond individually today - want to walk my 30 minutes at lunch and have to go to a staff meeting this afternoon at another location and then a meeting at 6pm - going to be a long day.
At least I am rested up after a quiet weekend. I went out to dinner Friday, Sat and Sunday evenings but didn't eat much during the day. I took the batter off my fish and left some of the fries from my "fish and chips," and passed on any alcoholic drinks even though everyone else was enjoying theirs. Being out of the house on Friday meant I wasn't around for the candy. DS stopped by to pick something up just as the trick or treaters arrived and gave out the candy for an hour, nothing was left when I got home. Small NSVs for me!
Spent Sunday afternoon cooking up all the veggies I got from my farm share on Thursday, made a lentil soup with the kale, onions and potatoes, have a 9x13 baking dish full of cut up Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes ready to roast. I have a ton of apples from the farm share - some are being given away but I will try baking some with oats and cinnamon, sounds tasty!
I was well under calories (as usual) but ate more sugar than desirable for me in the form of some tasty cookies last night, frustrated as nothing changes. I don't gain and I don't lose after a year of a complete overhaul of my diet and eating really well, working with a personal trainer and nutritionist. I was hoping joining MFP and logging my calories would show me where I could cut back but I am routinely well under. To lose .5lb per week, it has me at about 2100 per day. Usually, I am at around 1500 without exercise.
At my wit's end,
Kat0 -
Marilyn, I never eat back my exercise calories. I tried it a few times and it never worked for me. It seems like I need all the deficit I can get.
Lavagirlangie, 10 pounds is a lot to hope for in one month, especially if you can't exercise. I hope your back feels better. I'm trying to figure out what to make for Thanksgiving too. I know my sweet potatoes won't have marshmallows and syrup. And I know it will be turkey instead of ham, but that's about all I know for now.
YannieJannie, what is this NAP thing you speak of? Oh, I remember now. It's what Spot is doing right now with his little chin resting on my foot. Wish I could do that. I also wish I could move my foot.
Terri, Let us know how the concert goes. I'm curious how much his alzheimer's will effect him.
Here is today's Joke of the Day:
Bubba and Johnny Ray, two good ole boys from North Carolina, were sitting' on the front porch drinking beer when a large truck hauling rolls and rolls of sod went by.
"I'm gonna do that when I win the lottery," said Bubba.
"Do what?" asked Johnny Ray.
"Send my grass out to be mowed," answered Bubba.
Bye again!

When you exercise, do you eat those calories back to still hit your minimum intake for the day or not?
I try to stay at the calories MFP has allotted me, and ignore the "bonus calories" I'm "allowed" to eat because I exercised. That way, I'm sure to experience a calorie deficit. If only I could always practice what I preach!

Marilyn/Mpls MN
I do eat back most of my calories BUT....
I have 1200 as my baseline which is really low. I wear an UP24 and only eat back the calories from the UP, not any other logged exercise.
It has worked well for me.
Looking for the joy in everyday, just like my dogs.

I always eat back my exercise calories as I would starve on 1200. I do believe thst you you should eat the way you can live with for the rest of your life. If you feel you are depriving yoursrlf it is going to lead to bingeing and burn out. You should enjoy your food. I exercise like a demon to be able to eat! :laugh:
I eat around 1700 + a day as I normally do 500 etc exercise, sometimes 600 + . That allows me treats, snacks and alcohol. I sometimes feel that my exercise regime is a life sentence, but it is WORTH IT. :laugh:
