Penny, I think the "tagged" polar bear looks awesome! and much friendlier than I bet the real ones are!
Rebecca, that certainly is a tree! Your sisters artwork is gorgeous! If I'm ever headed for Yakima (doubtful at this point....) I will definitely get more info from you as to where it's for sale and check it out!
Sue from Western Kentucky, Welcome!
Page from NY, Welcome to you also. There should be a reply box at the end of the page that you can type into. Unfortunately MFP doesn't allow you to comment directly to each post. When you do start a comment in the box, you have to be careful to not change pages or you will lose your post. Can get somewhat annoying. Some people use notebook to keep track, I sometimes open MFP twice, split my screen (only on my desktop!) and then use one to read and the other to comment.
It's a beautiful day here in paradise! Sure can get used to the sunshine quickly! Hope everyone is having a great day!

Welcome Sue! I love my ladies here, a great resource for whatever question you have. Logging daily helps, drinking 8 glasses of water helps, getting a good scale helps, and putting yourself first is paramount. Sometimes that first step is the hardest, but step you must! My highest weight has been 265, but with these ladies here I am down to 244. Accountability, and perseverance key words that mean something! You can do this!

My prescription for a healthy life - eat lots of lovely healthy food and move a lot. Simple.
The best thing you can do for your brain is to exercise vigorously.
The best diet is the one you can stick to. Eating is not a penance or a chore. Food is a celebration of life.

Cheri - I think fasting is incorporated into the Jewish beliefs? Cheri, I too have a hard time getting enough protein in - but too much protein is hard on the kidneys. I've learned to be satisfied with 45 gm or over.
Thank you

Yes, we observe several holidays where daylong fasting is a part of the ritual. I find myself naturally not eating after 5 pm and then not eating breakfast till 10 ish the next day. I'm really trying to follow my natural hunger pattern after years of eating 3 meals and 3 snacks a day.

Evie: Thanks for the recommendation for a Bosch dishwasher. I'll make note of it. I am a terrible skinflint and will get the very last use possible out of the current dishwasher before we replace it.
SusieQ: Welcome!
Doctor Heather: I agree with this completely:

My day has been a mixed blessing. Trip number 1 to the stable was a fact-finding mission. I discovered what I need to know. The feeders will be there for an extended time starting at about 3pm. That is now my target time to ride. I won't have to drag DH along, and won't have to annoy the owner with babysitting my rides. Win, win! I'll be heading back there in just a few minutes.
Now I'm off to the stable in an irritated state of mind because of the conflict with the neighbor. I caught my busybody neighbor pruning my camelia bush after I've told her repeatedly to leave it alone. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:
I have to let the irritation go and focus on being present & in a good mood before I arrive at the stable.

Morning everyone
Winter has finally raised its head in Perth us, it has been blowy and raining for the past 2 days. Not heavy rain but enough to make it annoying.
Hugs to those who need them
Love Heather' s prescription - one to love by

Hi Susie-q
Your start weight was the same as mine! I am 60 years old & 100 lbs down today. I was gardening today up on the top tier of my garden beds. It is nice to look better, but even nicer to be back to doing the things that I love.
And, my grandson who was struggling with his weight, has lost 10 lbs (and grown 4 inches) because I inspired him. His dad(my son) is over 450 now. My wish is still to inspire him. His boys have picked up on his unhealthy food choices. It makes going into adolescence difficult.
The boy on the left is 14 & looking awesome now!

Susie turning 50 hurt my feelings so bad! 40 didn't and 60 didn't. But then my 50's were just great years. Embrace it and keep saying 50 is the new 30!4 -
Ladies this week is going to be a very emotional and trying one for me. May 9th is my son's 38th birthday and he's incarcerated.
May 11th is the first anniversary of my grandson's death. It's still so hard. May 13th is Mother's Day. At this point my daughter is estranged from us since her son died, so neither of my children will be around for Mothers Day.
I'm certainly not one to sit upon my pitty-pot, but this is all just hard. Especially May 11th. Please say a little prayer for my daughter and me. I just want to get through this week. Thanks!
