@jessicakrall8 Thank you for the welcome!
I am excited to be here. My name is Kay and I just turned 47. I have 5 kids and my youngest is a Senior so I am about to enter a new stage! I went back to school 5 years ago for a second degree in accounting. I am now working part time at an accounting firm (full time during tax season) and studying for the CPA exam.
My goal is to lose about 40 pounds to get to a healthy BMI. If I make that, then my ultimate goal would be to lose 15 more. I am a 3 year breast cancer survivor so I want to get my health in a better place!!!
I look forward to jumping right in and getting to know everyone. I know what I need to do to lose weight, I just have to keep up my motivation. 😊5 -

~ I have an upcoming family week-long vacation that we plan every year. I am notorious(in my own mind) for abandoning MFP/weight-loss/healthy-thoughts altogether after these planned trips! My old plans never work: Walk before everyone gets up; Log my food every day; Visit MFP every day… I couldn’t stick to any of it. So I’ve been thinking about.how I keep my habits in check while I’m at home and I think the answer is water consumption and also weighing daily. So I’m gonna making both of those things easily accessible while we’re at AirBnB- Net Calories ( 4072 / 10500 )

I have trouble uploading photos from my phone using the MFP app. Any tips or tricks you can share?
I got a trail jog/walk in last night and wanted to share some photos.
I was right there with you! I figured out that EVERYTHING Community-related (including uploading pictures) is much easier using your phone’s browser. I only use the MFP App to log food. Other than that, use your internet browser, not your google app.(I believe for Android you would use google chrome) it works as the full MFP Website, like literally type in www.myfitnesspal.com it may suggest the app and you’ll decline and continue to the community.
Matter of fact, you can create a “tab” for every Community group you’re involved in here. But honestly, once I did this, I never had to do it again because that tab just sits there open in the background of my phone.
You’ll be able to easily upload pictures. Also I love that if I’m typing something and happen to abandon my phone, what I was typing is still sitting there..
Even hours later!!
Thanks for reminding me of this!(I posted this from the Chrome browser on my phone, and it was quite easy to insert a photo that was on my phone.)
@frankwbrown Is that some random picture or is that you?1 -
Agreed, thank you! I'm sure that Krystal has probably given me those tips before but my retention isn't the best.
Yet ask me the lyrics to any random song from the '60s or '70s and I am on it!!

Hello 🙂 I'm Natasha, I'm a 41-year old South African living in the British lake district. I moved here 3.5 years ago with my 2 children (who are now both in university and live away from home).
The change in lifestyle, weather (yes really, the weather!), and perimenopause all have contributed to an excess of 20 kg's (about 44 lb's if you don't work in metric measurements) and a severe lack of motivation.
I have 2 dogs, they are Jess and Luna and when it's not raining, windy and generally unpleasant weather we like to go for walks in the lakes and on the beach.
I work at a desk 5 days a week and the kitchen is closer than ideal (the voice in my head is always after snacks).
I'm somewhat of an introvert so not inclined to join a gym or running club so I'm hoping to find some support and people to hold me accountable and help with motivation.
Thanks,
Natasha6 -

Hello Shape Shifters! Here’s my weekly weigh-in report —
Name: PatriceFitnessPal
Weigh-in day: Thursday
PW: 147.7
CW: 147.7
Ltd: 20.3
My weight fluctuated up and down on the scale this week but today’s weight ended up exactly the same as last week’s number! No gain is a win from my perspective. It’s been a busy week but yesterday was the most stressful because of important back-to-back meetings and events. In fact, one meeting overlapped with another evening event but everything went rather smoothly so I’m feeling relieved today. Onward!5 -
I’m a bit behind in responding to messages in the group. I interviewed someone today to inform some next steps on a work project - and I’m still recovering from a busy schedule this week with work, business development, travel, and helping relatives in Boston all competing for time — but it feels good to make progress toward some of my annual goals.
I’m looking forward to catching up here in the next few days. I hope everyone is doing well!3 -
Hello Shape Shifters. Another disgustingly hot day here. Tomorrow should be better. I basically didn't do anything except go to the grocery store and in the afternoon I returned a package. I got the 'present' for Tinus delivered finally, which was a long rug for in the hallway. He likes to run to and from upstairs and he always slips around a lot so I thought this would be useful for him. I got the anti slip mat to go under the rug last week already. When I was about to put it all in place, I saw that the anti slip mat was a lot wider even though both were supposed to be 80 cm. I measured the rug and it was only 70 cm! I get it can be a little bit off, but 10 cm is insane. I also found a way cheaper rug on amazon so I decided to return this one.
I ate too much food again. I blame the heat. It is really hard to focus on anything when it is so hot, my brain just doesn't work, which makes me really bored and turn to food. Some of it was healthy (carrots and strawberries) but plenty of it wasn't. I also gave the delivery guy a pear popsicle; he was very happy about that! That job must be hell in the heat even if they have AC in the car. With them constantly having to open and close the doors, I doubt it does anything. I had a shower in the afternoon after I dropped off the package and when I was downstairs in the hallway, I realised I forgot to put on my glasses! I am practically blind without glasses and that has never happened before, so my brain was for sure a bit fried today. I also got a bunch of new bird food and treats/meds for Tinus and some long sleeved sport shirts for walking in a smaller size. I didn't own the bigger size for very long before they got too big, though if I keep eating like an elephant, I am sure they will fit again soon so I better not let that happen.Tinus got the fan and I put his liquid treats in the fridge so he could enjoy them cold & outside.

We've been busy with school graduations and family birthday parties recently. My diet and exercise have been poor these past couple weeks. I'm taking a vacation at home next week, so won't be sitting all day at a desk and plan to be more active outside. Have a great weekend everyone!4 -
Good morning all and TGIF for sure!!
