Lenora - did you see the videos now?

Did 50 minutes of a "You Can Go anything for a Minute" DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Body Pump DVD.

Think I'll go to the soup kitchen tomorrow and take some more of the food that I don't want any more in the house -- crackers, tomato soup, and cocktail sauce for shrimp. We have Newcomer bowling in the evening.

A friend of mine from college came here. I haven't seen her in about 12 years. she was telling me that one of our other friends has Alzheimer. I'm really shocked. She's the friend who is no longer with her hubby that I was shocked to find out. We had a really nice visit with her and her "friend". Vince said "you could have talked for two more days".

I'm giving Vince new water shoes for me. the ones I have right now I guess I've had them for quite a few years and they are getting worn out. Not the bottoms, but the elastic that holds them on my feet is getting stretched out. Next it'll be time for new webbed gloves.

Re - thanks for popping in. It's always so good to see you

StrzyKa - welcome

Carol - my heart goes out to you. At least now you know that your mother is in a better place and out of any pain

A height difference probably doesn't make much difference in bed <snicker>

Beth - so glad your hubby went home. I know how scary that is. Glad to hear that your dh will be joining you. I could never get Vince to.

Quick shout.

DS went home last night on the train. Laundry went in, it's drying and will be put on this morning. DH's younger daughter arrives this afternoon. We are going to the pub.

We got in 800 calories exercise yesterday because we walked to the pub for snack lunch. I had an alcohol free day.

Came in even on calories.
Not weighing myself right now. Next week.

Sending hugs to those who need them, Barbie, Carol, Allie, Joyce, Beth and, I'm sure, others of you.

Hello everyone I wish I had seen this post on Dec 1st it may have helped me to stay on track this month but then again maybe I wasn't ready then. I used December as a free for all and am now ready to get serious about getting back on track.

A little bit about myself ... I lost 96 lbs after 2.5 yrs of ww and MFP. But have been really struggling this year. Since April I have gained back 35 lbs. I am determined to get back on track before it gets any worse. I felt so much better when I was eating healthier and working out regularly.

I no longer attend ww and am missing the community part which is why I thought I would check out the community piece of MFP.

I look forward to getting to know everyone and to getting healthier in 2017.

lilybeth62 , welcome. Good job on making the decision to get back on track. You have found a great group of supportive, encouraging women. Glad to have you with us on this healthy living journey.

Back in Texas... we've both agreed the next long driving trip needs to be when we leave for good. Nonetheless, it was a good thing to have done, and we're both happy we went.

Unfortunately, somewhere up there is my DH's jean jacket, with his only key to his work truck in it. Don't even know why he was hauling it around... as the work truck stayed here in Texas. So, today is a trip to the Ford dealer in town to see if we can get a key made for it. It's an older one, 1999, so don't know how tough/easy this is going to be. So far, it hasn't turned up in Oklahoma...

Need more coffee.
Love y'all,
Lisa, glad to be back with all my stuff in Texas

Hi everyone,
I began my healthy eating/fitness journey again 4 days ago. I lost weight last year and regained it after a challenging year. Last time I combined it using the app "couch to 5k" program which I found I was able to do if I slowed down my running pace (its almost a walk!) Although I am in my 50's I see older runners and I am inspired by them.
Anyone out there interested in doing the couch to 5k with me along with my fitness pal?

Hi everyone. I'm just starting after slowly putting on about two stone. I'm 56 and live on a small holding in the south of England with my husband. I'm committed to losing weight but I just find it soooo hard! Good luck everyone.

Shout out to the newbies Heather, StrzyKa, Anne, Lilybeth, MicheleNC

(Just kidding, Michele, you naughty thing with your snickery comment about height differences LOL!!!)

Healing and affectionate thoughts to all of you & your family members who are ill or facing tough times...Carol, Beth, Joyce, Barbie, Gloria, Heather, Allie, NYKAREN, Meg, and anybody I may have inadvertantly missed or who may choose not to disclose, but need a hug and a warm thought...

My partner is going to teach our niece to make yeast bread today. We may have a neighbor and a granddaughter as well if they decide they want in on the baking lesson.

I am going to Jazzercise and then to work.

Hi there,
The plumber is upstairs sorting out a leak that was dripping through the kitchen light fitting and splashing on the floor. On closer inspection we found staining on the kitchen wall and ceilng, so it has been going on for a while and only now revealed itself!

Luckily, he could come immediately.

Thank goodness. He's done a comprehensive job for not a lot of money. Great bloke.
What a relief!
Good job it didn't happen while we were away next month!

Welcome new people, especially Heather from Bournemouth. I am Heather, also from Hampshire.

I lost 57 lbs three years ago and have only gained back three, thanks to a regular exercise regime I have got into the habit of doing every day. I like to eat and have a drink now and again, so, basically I have to exercise. I am hugely helped by my exercise buddy, my husband, and by the equipment we have in our small, spare bedroom. The important thing is to find an easy way to keep fit, that is sustainable over the long term. Some of us dance, some cycle to work, some horse ride or go to yoga, some have a local pool. To create a good habit it has to be as simple as brushing your teeth every day. If it requires a huge act of willpower, it is not going to happen for long.

Been tidying up, laundering, hoovering etc. Would love to get back to my writing, but I'm not going to stress over it. Just so relieved about the plumber.

Love Heather UK xxxxxxx
