    Busy weekend and only 1 day of workouts.
    Made perogies yesterday and had to finish up early as I was expecting B&B guests and had to make them dinner. Wonderful guests - again.
    Finish up perogies today, so will have time to get my workout in after work. Will have to make it up in housework.

    @Beeps2011 - I hear ya on the sleeping like crap thing. It comes and goes for me, but, in my case, it's the ol' menopause curse happening.

    Hi everyone!!!! Glad to hear you are all still working hard on your goals!!!! I found out what's wrong with my leg after getting an MRI. I have Morton's neuroma in my foot which is causing the "numbness" tingling in my foot. I also have a ganglion cyst in the area near the neuroma. I also have muscle inflammation on the outer part of my lower leg, ugh!!!!! And on top of the that I have a cold so haven't been able to work out. I'm hoping December is a much better month.

    Gam, nice pics!! You are a beast!!!

    Beeps and 3furballs, good for you setting your goals!!

    Sdereski, congrats on your half marathon!!!!

    Nickp, good to hear from you again!!!

    Allenpriest, keep up the good work!!!!

    What are your plans for Thanksgiving? I'm hoping to feel better tomorrow so I can do at least some physical activity. Working tomorrow and Wed and off Thu/Fri. My older sister who lives in CA is coming to visit with my niece. We are celebrating on Thursday at my brother's, thank God, I don't feel like doing major cleaning and cooking. LOL

    Have a wonderful day!!!!!

    Alf, so glad you found out what's wrong with your foot, can they do anything to help it? Hope so.
    We are going to my husband's cousins house a couple miles away. I am bringing several side dishes and a couple pies. The kids her 2 and our 2 are all teenagers so they should have fun together. Jared and I have dentist after school and need to run to the grocery store too, so there will be a lot of running around in awhile here. We woke up to our first snow of the year 2". Looks pretty but I am sure will be messy.
    I hope you all have a nice week and a great Thanksgiving.

    Well done all! Where is larro these days?

    I didn't make it to Zumba, but I did make it to my workout! :)
    Last minute call for B&B. As it turns out, our guest has a close friend in Calgary that grew up here. Turns out she is a close friend of ours (I cycled Holland with her sister) What a small world. That is not how he found us, which is even cooler.
    The other guest, really felt like he was at home. Came down to breakfast in his housecoat! :# So glad they feel at home. ;)

    Hello, I have been reading the posts on this thread for a couple days and figured I should at least say hello. I am 47 who is a cardio/aerobic class lover who now has bad knees and is grieving the fact I can do my favourite forms of exercise and struggling to loose weight I have gained. It is great to have this forum with others who are experiencing the joys of failing joints and other wear and tear body issues. Would I want to be 20 again? Hell no but I would kill for their knees LOL

    To those south of the 49th may you have a fabulous Thanksgiving this week and may your willpower be stronger than the dessert table!!

    I am 48 and in terrible health weight wise. I can't even do a lunge. I hope to be part of a community of successful weight loss experts like many of you are at the moment

    Start with small changes in eating and light exercise you can do. Make sure they are changes you can sustain. Continue to build on those adding more changes in eating until you are at the proper deficit and the exercise is at least 30 minutes a day 5x's per week with at least two days of a full body strength work out. I see so many newer folks fail because they jump into these crazy hardcore routines that set them up to feel defeated and fail.

    Moderation
    Consistency
    Progressive improvements.

    Hi everyone. I'm new to this group. I am 44 and I started at 198 in July 2014 and am down to 140. I lost the weight through healthy eating and running like a crazy woman. I am 5'4 and my goal weight is 125ish.... Knowing me it will keep getting pushed lower. :) I feel like I am at a slow down or stand still and I'm so frustrated! I need to get back on track with logging my calories but have been caring for my dad who has lymphoma so I get lazy. Currently I am doing a cabbage soup "diet" until Thanksgiving for my own little piece of sanity. any helpful tips or motivation?

    Not experts at all- just fellow travelers on the same journey.

    Good Morning all. Welcome new cool kids!
    Busy day yesterday with lots of in / out of the office meetings.

    Curled last night and won. Although, not a lot of sweeping done as the ice was fast. So, workout wise, yesterday was a bust. Hope to make today better.

    Greetings Cool Kids. I am still alive and well. Just spending all my time on that hamster wheel of work, garden {green house is up}, camp, shopping, cleaning, etc, etc,. . . .

    We had our first two frosts on Monday and Tuesday morning. I half-assed a greenhouse on Sunday, with lots of help from my cousin and her two kids.

    htlzolldfzdb.jpg

    I camped last night, and plan to be back down there for the next two nights. We are doing Thanksgiving on Friday, so Margie wants me out of the house while she is getting ready for the crowd. She is off today, so we are going to run to town for lunch and last minute shopping while the cleaning lady is here this afternoon.

    I have been doing some serious ice cream and granola eating at night, and briefly got up to 170.1 pounds. Back down around 167 now though.

    Hope all of you {in the US} have a great Thanksgiving this week. Welcome to the new guys and hello to everyone else,

    Larro
