    @MissMay I bet you are happy with your In-Shape commitment! That’s the name of my gym :). Excited for you.

    Agree this new formatting on MFP is pretty frustrating- especially the spacing and copy and past feature.

    I know there are some instructions posted for the changes - will share if I can find them.

    Actually information on changes is right at the top of this page! Not that it will lead to any better outcomes but…..

    I haven't used the new format much yet. But, so far, I like it.

    FYI…I've been meaning to mention this for a while (before the update). But, usernames are case-sensitive. I have my account set up to get a notification if someone mentions me in a post. And, I've noticed that if someone mentions me in all lower case, I don't get a notification. For instance, if someone's username is UserName, if you type @username (instead of @UserName), the person will not get a notification. I know it's minor. But, I just thought I'd share.

    Also, there is not longer a preview comment button. But, after you post, if you would like to change something in your post, just click on the ellipse inside the circle, in the upper right corner of your post. You can then edit your post. Before the update, you had one hour to do so. I'm not sure. But, it's most likely the same.

    PS…I'm using the website version. So it may be different on your phones. Phones are too small for me. My vision isn't the greatest, my fingers are too big, and the keyboard is too small ☹️

    Well, I'm still reading the book. But I'm getting bored. I just want the facts. It seems I'm still not much of a reader. That's how books are…a 200-page book could be summarized in 20 pages. I guess that's why they had Cliff notes?

    Update: I came back to edit this post. I basically just skimmed through the book (Craig Beck). The first couple of chapters offered some insight that I could relate to. But, after that, I didn't see much that was helpful for my circumstances. But, like I said, I got bored with it and just skimmed through it. Oh well! I've got other books to read in the future!

    I have trouble sticking with books. I currently have 8 books on my side table that I have started, and I can’t seem to finish. I’ve been trying to read one of them for about 2 years now. One of them is even a quote a day thing, and I’ve had it for 3 years and have yet to read every quote. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    @NonnieDoiron Well, I don't feel so alone. That's what I do. I buy books and never read them…I've done it for years! The only books that I do read are exercise books. When I was younger and living at my Mom's house, I was in my bedroom, sitting in one of those low beach chairs reading a book called "Body for Life". I probably got it from the library. My older brother was there that weekend and he occasionally would walk by my bedroom to use the bathroom. After several hours, he asked, "What are you reading?" It's an old book. But I couldn't put it down. And, the other book that I mentioned that I read was "The Shining". I started reading it in the breakroom at work. Then I had an unfortunate accident and had a plaster cast from my foot up to my behind. So, my mom went and bought it for me. It was a good book. And, besides, I really couldn't go very far.
