    Would love to rehab my cranky heel in time to do this, it sounds like fun.

    Hello - lost almost 40 lbs on WW but have stalled last six months-have 25 lbs more to go. I started 3 days weight training + 3 days cardio per week during that time and gaining muscle so maybe its working itself out... Thought I'd get into MFP to mix things up. Feel free to add me; looking for motivation and support.

    So my washer wasn't spinning. The repair guy said it is possibly not worth fixing but would cost over $200 for him to come out to check. Thank you google. I took it apart, had to get a new socket set, they're super cheap, had to get the jack from my car to help and managed to fish some stuff out and now it works

    And best part....i now know where all those socks go that get lost.... The dryer doesn't eat them, the washing mashing does

    Great job, Ali! B)

    Thanks Duchess. My dad was always a Mr. Fixit guess I spent lots of time with him taking things apart. Thank goodness for YouTube though

    I am not any good at fixing anything, I'm only good at building something via scratch!

    Happy Wednesday everyone. It's steamy and hot out but supposed to break after today. So anyone want to come skate with me?

    Good morning. It's hot. It's muggy, for like the 90th day in a row. Come on Fall. I have some travel coming up which I hope will motivate me to lose a few more pounds of fat. I eat "intuitively" and it's working out great--for maintaining. Carpe diem.

    Good Morning all! More rain here in Iowa we will most likely have some flooding tomorrow. But just over ten years since our last big flood we don't need another! Praying for friends and family in our flood plane. Hoping the rain stops and the rivers stay low! I did get intervals in on the treadmill since I am not big on running in the rain! Make it a great day!
  • I would love to get help from this awesome group. I will be 37 in November. I know 75 pounds is a thought goal when I'm close to forty but I will do it.
  • Late 30’s here. Working on overcoming dysfunctional eating habits I’ve had since childhood. Good to be here. I’ve been with Weight Watchers for a couple months but lately my goals for myself are the meshing well with their program so when my three months is up I’m not renewing.

    Set intermediate goals while keeping an eye on the big picture. Climbing a plateau still feels like an accomplishment, even if it's only 1/10th of the way up the mountain. Nothing is unattainable if it's taking in small manageable bits.

    Hey there, I’ve been using MyFitnessPal and Fitbit since April, and I’m having great results with both. I’m down 20 pounds and looking to come down another 40. I’m 54 and feeling good, all my doctors visits have been good. Looking for advice and comraderie here!

    Better have your ID ready. In case the bouncer wants to see it. ;)

    Hi, I started using this and actively exercising about 3 weeks ago! I’m 58 and need to drop about 100 lbs. I’m down 15 in 3 weeks with healthy eating and walking daily. I’m thinking this is a good venue for support!!

    Happy Thursday. It's cooled off here in Ontario. It's drizzly too. It feels like fall. Kind of.
    I have lots to do today but I think I will try to go skate. It hurts my shoulder but I have physio tomorrow, he can fix it right???
