Happy December all!
I added a few of you now I figured out how to do it! Anyone feel free to add me.3 -
Just turned 40! Damn and feeling more youthful!7

Hi all, hope everyone had a wonderful day!
Just thinking... Couldn't we call this group "the fun group" or "the acquired wisdom group" or even the "mature peeps group" instead of middle agers group?

Well, if it's changed to Wisdom Group, I'd need to withdraw. And, I thought middle age meant we dress in medieval period costumes in order to post... oops, my bad.
Did a phone interview today & will have another next week for the same job, so... fingers crossed. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the 1st vacation I've had in a decade on VA Beach... too bad it's so cold & windy. Still, ocean view motel (blah room but the view makes up for it) & blissfully quiet nights with the 1st good sleep I've had in years, has left me feeling 10-yrs younger in 3-nights. Here 'til Monday, so I expect to be fully de-stressed. I forgot what peace & quiet felt like.
Enjoy your weeks, All!5 -
Turned 40 in July. I'd offer the Scent of Ben Gay for the group title, but I'm a noob.4

Hey everyone! Trying to change my lifestyle. Just about to turn 44, I had a baby 6 months ago and it is wayyyyy harder to lose weight now then it was with my first. Feel free to add me!1

Happy Hump Day!!
It feels like this week is going by fast, maybe it's becuase I'm still making up from last week with work...and my kids being here and keeping them on task is...a handful. I actually literally growled at my son this morning because he hadn't plugged in his Chromebook last night. Ooops!! Some coffee will calm me down...right?

Good Morning Everyone! The morning walks are always beautiful but getting COLD! I had to break out my old watch cap yesterday. Not quitting, though. I've got places to go and promises to keep!

well, i'm less likely to murder someone after I drink it?4 -
Morning, all! I hope everyone is having a great day.
Small victory on this end - I do small group (now smaller and socially distanced) classes at my local gym and last night is the first time on this journey that I did all the push-ups as real push-ups and none on my knees! I’m a little proud of myself, despite how silly that sounds. The scale was good to me this morning too, but I hesitate to log it the day before Thanksgiving in fear of not seeing it again for a week after the pie tomorrow. Lol.
Im feeling good today, I hope you all are too! 🤗
Non-Scale Victories are a BIG DEAL! Congratulations!1 -
I'm 37 in a couple of weeks and the heaviest I have been. Lost of bunch of weight a few years ago doing MFP. Post-lung surgery and a few years down the line, here I am, wanting to really make it more sustainable and develop it into a healthy life style. Please feel free to add me. I'm a vegetarian (attempt to be vegan when I can) but would be happy to make friends and am really supportive encouraging! Good luck!2

Coffee always helps! Lol. You and I are feeling the same energy today.

Happy Wednesday all!
I hit the 45lb mark today, and am officially now just "overweight" and not "obese". While happy I’m also like “but wait - I’m only half way, ugh”. I'm running out of steam. Lol. I need to figure out a small prize to encourage myself with to hit that 50lb mark by the end of the year. I got myself a ring for my 50% of the way there victory at 42lbs. It’s a lovely blue ring. I’m a little obsessed. Maybe my love of rings is talking here, but I’m thinking the 50lb mark deserves celebrating too!
Anyone working towards fun prizes for various milestones?

I used to do clothes as a prize for myself, but now I just want to fit BACK into my clothes, so...LOL. There's that I guess.
A ring sounds awesome. Maybe I should do a massage or spa day when I hit my goal.4 -
Sounds lovely ☺️0

That's absolutely amazing and by the sounds of it you will hit the 50lbs soon!
Not sure about a ring, it may be too big for you once you've hit target? But I suppose some matching earrings would work? 1 -
Up early for a phone interview in 1/2-hr. Interesting that I came to VA Bch for a 10-day R&R, sent out a handful of CVs on a whim & so far, have gotten 2 interviews for 2 different jobs. They just came so easily, I'll take that as a sign.
I've had so many rounds, it's gotten exhausting. Can't count how many times I've gotten to interview 3-6 (combo of phone, web & face-to-face), then Insert cricket sounds.
Fingers crossed that something transpires soon.
Have a great ending to your weeks, All!5 -
good luck Braydan!!!!

good luck Braydan!!!!
TY CG...
Unfortunately, got stood up. Happens regularly. I don't get it. A simple text/email saying, "thx but we'll explore other candidates" is all that's required & appreciated after hours of research/preparation & a nervously-sleepless night.
Oh, well... it wasn't meant for me. Good luck to the person they hire.3 -
Thus seems appropriate.

@BraydanTaffy that's just so rude! Hopefully something else will come your way soon.1

oh that sucks @BraydanTaffy around here I've been hearing more about candidates standing up the interviewers. It's becoming quite an issue.1
