Hi there, would love to join your group, what a supportive bunch of ladies.
I am a returning and determined member. I have so much to lose, it sometimes feel overwhelming (80 approx)
I live in Ontario, Canada

Hope to get to know all of you over time.

Carol- Peach I was in Boulder Colorado visiting family last week.

Have a great sun.
hugs

Sometimes certain men become threatened whern we become healthier and thinner and start looking good. I had a boyfriend like that the better I look at the meaner he got. Yeah saying you're sorry doesn't really help when it's a constant thing or if it's a constant thing. That's what I think it's time to go. Life is so short and remember you have a choice

Alison: good for you for telling him he hurt your feelings.

☼ Hello there, lovely ladies.

It is a warm and muggy day here in paradise. We decided to put the AC's in the bedroom windows, because the weather is supposed to get hotter as the week progresses. I biked to the grocery store for produce earlier this morning. That's it for bike riding today.

☼ I made a chickpea summer salad to bring to a BBQ this afternoon. The BBQ is in honor of our youngest son's college completion for a diploma in civil engineering. We are proud of him. One day he may go on to get his degree. But for now he will be working. Studying is expensive when also raising a family. I know all about that. I went back to studying when I was 40 while raising a family and working.

@sharonK247 - Welcome and we have more cyclists on this forum. I personally love biking too. Good for you for wanting to get back on track. You are off to a great start.

Sylvia - I think a good cry provides relief. How are you doing now? Hugs to you.

@jpnotler - Welcome, fellow Canadian. There are women on this forum who have lost a lot of weight. It is indeed overwhelming when starting out. I have learned a lot from MFP and this forum. The women on this forum are caring and supportive.

Welcome to other newbies too - come back and tell us about yourself.

Nancy - I probably missed some posts, but I am so sorry that you were subjected to harshness and criticism. May this be a reminder for all that we are here to support each other.

Lisa - What fabulous wedding pictures. And the dress...omg. Happy belated anniversary!!

Kim - I have never heard of that website. As you, I am also careful with signing up on websites. Good to know that this one appears to be legitimate. I love how you put in a goal of "doing 2 fun things every week".

Cynthia - about getting up in the night to pee. Yeah, I'd rather sleep too!! Good thing to get rid of the excess fluid though.

The scale has not moved much for me, but I am happy not to have gained during my vacation, especially with multiple birthday parties and other celebrations. I think it's all the running after toddler grandchildren that helped! ♥ Love them so much.

@barbiecat Barbie, thanks for your input! So true about bread and sauces being lots of cals and not much food!

I'm off to a gig in Boston, then 7 days of vacation with husband in New England. Intend to eat seafood, of course! And LOTS of veggies.

I've been listening to the "4 Hour Body" by Tim Ferriss on YouTube. Free audiobook, by the way. Tons a detail, but if you can get past it all, interesting ideas. I'm shifting to the Slow Carb method based on what TF says. Will let you all know success.

thanks to all that liked my poems made to lenny and to kirby for valentines day. i will share one more later. this poem i wrote to kirby for our wedding. and thanks for being nice about my fat pics.lolololol

CKC1964- I'm from Central NY on the beautiful shore of Lake Ontario. Today is my 2nd day using My Fitness Pal. I am very excited about starting my journey to a healthier me. I am also looking forward to meeting new people along the way.

Pip, the wedding pic is beautiful! So is the poem. Made me cry.

We have discovered a serious downside to not having the van. We can't carry all three dogs to the lake in hubby's little Acura. So, we came out to the cabin, just the two of us, so hubby could mow the grass, and will go back home soon.

We took the little guy to his tball game this morning. It was such fun! None of the kids have a clue as to what they are supposed to do, and no real skills, so it's very comedic to watch. At one point, though, the "pitcher" threw the ball to Ian on first base, and he CAUGHT IT! It was so unexpected that all the spectators on both sides gasped and cheered. He seemed surprised to find it in his glove, but there it was. So, he heard all the cheering and he pulled off his little hat and waved it in the air, like he was taking a little bow. Of course, the runner was already on the base by then, but that didn't matter.

At another point when his team (purple) was up to bat, one of Ian's teammates hit the ball out into center field (the longest hit of the game) and all 10 of the players in red shirts went running after it. It was hilarious. They reminded me of chickens somehow.

If you haven't watched a tball game lately, you should go find one to watch. Great amusement.

I was feeling fine this morning. No soreness really. The kids said they were all good too, so I guess we were really lucky. I overheard Ian telling his little friends about the big crash. It sounded much more dramatic when he told it.

Well, my battery is about dead. I hope you are all having a great weekend.

Sylvia

Tball is like watching a very polite comedic routine. Some kids helping others up, others picking their noses, or asking to use the bathroom at really odd times, and ALL adults just proud to be able to witness such joy at every thing they are doing!
