Hey Roger, how are you doing? Lots of groups here now.

Hi Vix
I'm doing good. I was out and about to stores and shopping. Then I did a little walking on top of the walking at the store.

Have a Good Weekend
Roger

yay for correct scale movement! i'm very happy i stumbled into you when i first got here having someone around pretty much daily to connect with helps so much i'm liking the new venue too... not as "cliquie" feeling so i've been jumping in more on different threads.

hey Roger, how are you? i haven't gotten to that point in my journey... guess i'll get there sometime mostly right now it's look in my drawer and go hmmm what do i feel like for food lol

~kel

Hi Kel
Well I kind of like pre-planning, I do it three days at a time. I was entering it into the log food page on NutriSystem, Now I am doing it here. The food log here works easier too. The I print it out, Pull the Shelf Stable portions and put it on the refrigerator door. Tonight I will be placing Saturdays there. By adhering to a if it isn't on the sheet it doesn't get eaten program I find that to be best for me.

Winging it does not work real great for me.

Cheers
Roger

E - lol i like the peacock... now if you start strutting about i may start to be concerned

body's being a bit achy but it's been on the cooler side for the end of april here and rather dampish without actually raining so i think that's driving most of it. manageable with advil and lots of ignoring

Roger - i wouldn't say "winging" exactly... i'm definitely tracking and *trying* to only eat what's on my list (i'm a nibbler so that's normally where my issue is). the meal parts are good. i work all day and depending on what time i actually get home determines if my plan changes. some nights after being at work almost 12 hours the last thing i want to do is try and sort out food for 30 minutes for a higher prep/tweak dinner. or if i'm in a ton of pain... either one of those negates any plan and i need that lil bit of wiggle to sort it out.

i get the whole planning thing though... i do that with trips then ocd about everything once it all changes LOL

here's to a wonderful F R I D A Y!!!!!

Hi Kel
I have three baskets that I put all the Shelf Stable food into. One day per basket. Then what I do is create the plans here for three days of food. Then I bring any frozen foods up from the basement and put it into the Freezer section in the Kitchen.

That way it is handy. Tonight before I go to bed I will set up breakfast on the Kitchen counter. Protein shake bag in the mixing cup, Banana Nut Muffin and a Banana next to that. Lunch is a Kung Pao Noodle cup, Dinner is a Thick crust Pizza, The pizza is getting old, May 22 use by date, so I am using it up now, and a bag of the NS Pretzels for my afternoon snack.

I hope that explains it. Now that I have been using the menu planner here it probably takes me 5 minutes per day.

Have a Good Weekend
Roger

Hi All
Well there is one more weekend left in the NutriSystem Forums before they go poof into the sunset and are no more. I am officially

However
Have a Great Weekend
Roger

i agree Roger... also very i've spent the last two weeks trying to go through the main recipe thread on the boards saving anything that looked like it may be interesting at some point. i think i'm at page 43.... so much stuff to be lost

E- glad you got some fresh air and none of those evil golf balls found you i ended up with breakfast for dinner since i had the hamburger patty for lunch (didn't feel like breakfast earlier). pancakes, egg beaters, tiny bit of cheese and some turkey bacon

~kel

i do the same for some items. most of what i'm grabbing are ones that give you ideas on how to tweak the actual NS foods

happy sunday everyone


~kel

Hi
The loss of the recipes is a sad thing for sure. I would hope they would leave them as they should help sell NS foods. However...............

I dismissed the idea of airing out the house today as it is still comfortable whereas when I want out walking at noon it was getting warm out.

Cheers
Roger

Good Evening Everyone! I am so glad I found you. I was crying earlier today when I learned that the NS boards were to Facebook of all places! And then they had a post officially warning the people who are moving their discussions to other venues to be careful about the privacy policies on other sites. They pick the site that is most notorious for frequent changes to privacy policies and then they have the nerve to warn us against going to other sites. In case anybody did not know, the NS discussion boards are officially migrating to Facebook on May 11, 2015 also known as next Monday, a week from today if you are on Pacific time, a week from yesterday if you are on EDT. I don't know if people did not know that when they decided to migrate here, or if like me you did not want to migrate to Facebook.

Don't mean to be a downer. But the Discussion Boards were a huge part of Nutrisystem for me, and I do not feel comfortable on Facebook. So while I am really glad to have figured out where you guys went in time, I am not currently active enough in any other groups to follow them to another site. And if I do not do it now, I will probably never have another chance to find out where the other compatible groups have gone. Unless of course they come here. Last time I was losing weight I was active on several threads and it really helped. Then I stopped trying to lose and switched to using NS part time to maintain my weight loss and did not spend as much time on the discussion boards, and just started trying to lose weight again about a month and a half ago. So I started checking out the threads currently active on the discussion boards and so far this is the only thread that feels helpful to me. Poor, poor, pitiful me . . . .

Hi
I mentioned in another post that I do not believe I would have succeeded like I have without the help and support from the forums.

FaceBook? Bah Humbug

Talk about a two faced post about other venues after Pushing FaceBook.

Good morning.
Welcome OldRedWolf....cheer up. We didn't want to move to facebook either. This seems pretty nice here. You can set the privacy on your profile, so that only you can see it.
I like small groups too.
Roger did a great job setting up all these groups, and there are other NS refugees that have moved to MFP, if you look around you can find them.
Kel....hope you're feeling better. Hugs. Congrats on getting the exercise in!
I'm looking forward to seeing my doc tomorrow...maybe he's figured something out. My body just seems full of surprises lately.
Clay class today for me.
Happy Tuesday.

Hi Vix
AS Beautiful Day Outside. I hope You are enjoying Your Clay Class.

Anyway, Today I took a drive out a little ways into the country to a Walmart for a Garden Hose & Sprinkler and Clothes, There is another a little closer to me in a Bigger Population area. The One out west is a Nicer store, The Aisles are wider and even the customers seem like a better class of people.

Anyway I had a little NSV moment doing that. I used to have the seat all the way down and back and when I looked at the room between me and the steering wheel I had an Ah Ha moment. I moved the seat up and forward making for a more comfortable drive.

Hard to believe the car has almost 15,000 miles one it too.

Have a Great Day
Roger

Redwolf - so glad you found us in time hon. i was starting to worry no one would find us in time before the boards went kapoof! feel free to vent... we all did it when we made the move about two weeks ago (when the initial "official" we're closing things came out). i did see we got an email today, two weeks after they announced it on the boards. go figure that one out.
i'm finding the closeness of this group easier to deal with and i'm more vocal then i was on the NS ones. i lurked more there everyone's been really nice (least in the NS groups themselves), no real snarking or anything so that's good. fyi the food tracker here is AWESOME! much better than the old NS one and omg better then numi. i track here exclusively now and only do Numi for my bears keep in touch! us vertically challenged ones need all the help we can get

E - feeling better, still a bit out of sorts but i think my mouth is finally healing. it's acting like i burnt it but one would think i'd remember burning it as bad as it feels. pain was moving down my throat yesterday so figured i'd just crash on the couch for awhile. finger's crossed for the drs tomorrow, i hope they have "actionable" news for you so you can start feeling better

Roger - HUGE YAY for your NSV. that's terrific!! i'm up there with E... my seat is so far forward it's silly just so i can reach the pedals lol. i *have* however noticed a bit more space between my tummy and the steering wheel. congrats on the extra pound gone too!

here's to a happy Wednesday.....

~kel

Hi All
A quick question, leave signatures in quoted posts or remove them?
Thanks

Definitely an NSV being able to move the seat up and have your feet reach the pedals easier. I am so short, that my seat is as far forward as it can go, but I keep it up higher because it is easier to see the road...haha. If I shrink any more, I may be one of those little old ladies whose head is behind the steering wheel! It's a beautiful day for a ride out in the country. I went for a walk this morning because I knew I'd be sitting in class most of the day, and I think it's supposed to rain here soon.

Hi
I was more comfortable driving after adjusting the seat forward and upwards. I guess it could be worse. I knew people that had blocks attached to the pedals so they could reach them.

Cheers
Roger

Hi Kel
I have adjusted my starting weight to what it was on NutriSystem and that has affected the ticker. The ticker is now accurate.

Thank You for the kind words. I just wonder why it did not occur to me to move the seat forward before? Senior Moment?

Cheers
Roger
