Janetr OKC – Do you ever see elk out there? Or is it not in elk places? I’m sure you must see deer. Pretty place! I don’t blame you for staying it, so am I … for SW GA – it is very cold, even though it is not snowing. It usually goes north of us. Americus, which is 20 miles NE from us gets it even if we don’t. DYS said it was snowing in Louisiana but not really sticking.
Michele in NC – Guess Mother Nature thought you needed one; but, when you go out and buy another one … you won’t get snow again until you sell it with the house. I think most people in the Deep South did not think it would hit … we are supposed to get strong winds later on, just hope we don’t have what they had in Albany on Monday. They’re still digging out and some people won’t get any electricity for maybe as long as 2 weeks.

Oh jeez, I probly shouldn't try to do this on an iPad... I had a lovely post all written out, thought I was posting it, and only 2 sentences show up! Grrr. Ok, brief revised version: sorry y'all are suffering in the cold; love love love the doggy pics; have had a great week so far with exercise and food. I was telling a friend about this group just the other day...really enjoying getting to know you all. Scale says down 4 lbs, which won't last but is a great incentive!
Be careful in the weather, and enjoy your weekend!1 -
Hi guys. Still cold here in southern Indiana but is sunny. Temp is 19 and I would imagine the wind chill is that. I know school systems must protect their children and not have law suits from sending kids to schools and people have wrecks getting them there. But come one, an inch of snow on the ground and snow is cancelled. The next day it's cold, really cold and we have a 2 hour delay. Do you ladies remember walking to school when it was cold or your parents driving you?
I don't like coffee at all. I love the smell of it. My Dad was a preacher and his hours allowed Mom and Dad to be in the kitchen making breakfast for us. They loved us very much and to me I had the best set of parents in the world! Mom and Dad loved coffee so that's what I smelled every morning. And I knew that it also meant love was in the kitchen waiting for us. So I love the smell of coffee. When I was in nursing school in psychiatric training, they insisted on us sitting and drinking coffee with the patients. I asked them if I could drink hot tea which I love and I love it strong. But they said no, it would show non-acceptance of the patients. So, pardon the pun, it put a very bitter taste for coffee in my mouth.
Michele, NC, my MRI showed disc extrusion and from what I am finding, I am pretty sure it means herniated disc. What has made the big difference in my pain level and allowing me to actually walk and drive is being able to sit in a firm recliner with my feet up. And then there is the TENS unit. I have an appointment with my family doc next week and we will discuss if there is anything else to do. I have previously had surgery for a herniated disc and it gives immediate relief. I do have a sleep number bed but I'm not sure if it is helping me any. I sleep pretty much pain free but wake up in pain.
Sherry, good to see a quick note from you here. Thanks Allie.

For Boxing Day dinner I made some lovely rich chocolate sauce to go with the pears and ice cream. Basically I just tipped a whole lot of plain chocolate chips into hot double cream. Yum.
It wasn't all eaten, so a jug full has been sitting in the fridge ever since. Solid.
Today I excavated the mass and rolled it into balls and dusted them with cocoa. TRUFFLES!
Luckily I was well down on my calories so I allowed myself two of the heavenly balls. Wow!
Had a wonderful nap on the sofa this afternoon, but now I don't feel tired. I might have to go and read in the spare room.

I found that it cuts it off with emojis from my iPhone. I can only use the emojis on the site if I want my full post. Haven't used emojis on my computer.
Sherry- Hey! I hope you're staying warm!

Marni loves the dachshunds. We had one growing up and my brother still has one.1

Got up and walked this morning inside since it was 17 degrees. As I was walking, the electricity went off!! Our house is all electric so that is a problem. Decided the best thing to do was keep walking. It took them almost two hours to get it going again. I didn't walk two hours tho.
Charleen - your quilt is awesome. My favorite thing at the State Fair of TX is the quilt show.
Been decluttering my house and beginning to make progress. As long as the cold weathers hold out, will keep decluttering. Not sure what to do with old electronics that we don't use anymore.
Better go fix dinner as we just snacked on zhouda chees and apples for lunch.

Hi. I am Cat from VA near DC sitting at the keyboard in 20 degree weather. Like some others I have been active in MFP before and lost 10 pounds last year but did not keep it up and gained half back. I have enjoyed reading some of the above threads and learning about you all and thought I would join in. I am 56 working and have a great boyfriend who is on a better eating path with me. My goal is to keep my renewed commitment to the gym that I started 27 December cardio and weight training and strive to keep to 1400 cal. / day. I want an overall healthier lifestyle. I know I am the only one who can do it for myself. I like to play 9 holes of golf with a cart. I have some physical limitations (plantar fasciitis for one thing that causes arch pain walking and standing) but found I can do some of the cardio machines at the gym like the elliptical machine, arc trainer and stationary bike to burn calories. I am looking forward to traveling this journey with you great gals.5

Mary - I'm stayin' as warm as a bug in a rug! Got lots of blankets for my bed and warm clothes.
Well, I will be posting just my name and no location (long story) for a while for security reasons so I can remain safe. Hope you all don't mind.
Lots of love

I started fitness pal in Oct 2012 after starting to gain weight again. Logged in at 217 lbs after gaining weight from depressing job. Didn't stick too it, got more depressed within a year I was 328 lbs where basically am now, again. I'm 56 years old just got laid off for a 3rd time since 2007. Life has been ever changing and gets worse each new job including less $. I've gone from $60,000 year to now where can't pay bills without giving plasma 2x week which I hate.
I got to 270 in my 20's but decided that was it after seeing picture. I started using my weight machine again and walking several miles daily jogged some. When I was in my 30's and 40's got obsessed with working out and eating perfectly. I don't drink much and not a coffee tea or soda drinker so tyat is blessing for me. When I was 46 my sister asked me if wanted to Motorola marathon in Austin in s few months. Not much of a runner but said yes. I then got hooked and running also. I completed the marathon.
So here I am again after a horrible 10 years. Miserable and feeling negative about life in general. That can do optimistic woman is gone. I'm a Christian but don't feel God loves me but I still love him. I need help and support. I'm going to attempt this and hopefully this forum can help me. I'm stuck and don't know why or what to do. Normally I just decide to do something and it's done. Not anymore.
Goals;
Logging food and activity and be honest about it
Eat 80% clean or more (I'm poor and can't buy food right now so eatting is only when I get it and since can't afford food my calories are like 500 and less daily so excercise isn't always option)
Even if don't feel it tell my self happy positive things
Excercise at least 30 min 5x week (depends on good intake again if I have any energy, dizziness etc)
Do more intense excercise give it 100% not 50%
Get rid of all or nothing attitude
Work on accepting self as am
Reach out more in forums
My goal for the last 4 years is do another 1/2 marathon and then a marathon. I'd like to get too the place where I want to set those goals again
Thank you for listening5 -
Allie - yep! I'm here, I made it back!

Are you kidding me?????!!!!! I just spent an hour typing in an intro and a bit about what I've been up to since August and the whole thing just disappeared. Nope. Sorry. Not doing it again today. I'll try again tomorrow.

Mia - I've had that happen soooo many times but I finally figured out what was doing it...I use this forum on my tablet and every time I set it down when I was posting it would rotate the screen and my post would be gone!! So now I've got my screen pinned into the portrait position and don't have that problem anymore.

I just ruined two pounds of haddock ... won't go into the sad details ...
Marni ... yes, I know where the Asa Ransom House is. There were several areas hit with a dumping of snow in a short period of time Thursday afternoon into Friday. While it caused a lot of uproar, the children were better staying at their schools than being stuck on the roads. I barely made it home from an appointment just a couple of hours before the children in the area were done with school. Plows couldn't keep up so it was like driving through 2 feet of snow in your front yard ... treacherous!
Sherri ... Hello! Was thinking of you today!
