Women 50+ for October

Hello everyone,
I posted an H1N1 update from the hospital I work for under a post called h1N1 info. For those newer ladies I'm a user support person, but I work for a public hospital. Anyway, the post has the new guidelines for when to go to the doctors and when to stay at home.
Our hospital system had 3 times the normal weekend traffic over the past weekend. Most with flu like symptoms.
My apologies for not yet knowing how to post the actual link to H1N1 thread.
Stay healthy!

Morning, amazing ladies over 50!
Fall is in full swing here and after a day of cold rain it is so nice to see the sun and enjoy the crisp air.
Do enjoy reading everyones posts, both trials and triumphs.
DoobieDoo I know you can do this, just like I know I can. It is a long term commitment, I know you will find a way to break that old habit. Start today!
Time to get back to work. Alice0 -

WEIGHT LOSS TICKER HELP. What am I doing wrong ladies ? I created my ticker, copied the code, pasted it into the block on my signature page and saved changes. The only thing that shows up is the code, not the ticker. Help please.0

Made it to the gym again. I am fighting this with all I have.
We can do this. We all have the will. I fell and I got back up AGAIN.
Today I started on the treadmill at a very high incline but not very fast. I felt like I was walking up the Flume in New Hampshire or walking up the steep hill in Alcatraz. :noway: Anyone ever try those??? It seemed to work. As the minutes went by I got stronger. Ended up on the elliptical swinging to my music like a crazy lady. Oh well, I am crazy!!!!!
I hope I broke the downward cycle.
WE CAN DO THIS EVEN IF WE HAVE TO TRY, TRY, TRY AGAIN. What have we got to Lose. O ya FAT!!!!

Hi everyone,
Took the kids to school and then went for a mile walk.
Suezzzque, I have a theory that when I have to push, my body is either one of two things. it needs to rest and I need to make sure I am eating right and getting enough sleep. The other thing is that it is going through a change and releasing weight and water.
For me, I know the answer is that I have not stayed on my food program and my blood sugars are high. When they are running a bit high, I am dragging. When I eat right, I have tons of energy. Right for me is no sugar and very measured carbs. No bread. My carbs need to be clean.
Hope this helps. All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me.
Hello KC Writer...
Everything you say is so true. The amazing thing to me is that once we stop shoving the high fat and high sugar stuff into our bodies...our bodies quit craving them.
I am responding to you because I love your ending verse and wanted to share one that uplifts me greatly...For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 2Tim1:7 How cool is that. He gives it to me...all I have to do is use it!
Good luck to you! Terri0 -

Hi there...just wanted to let you know the first time I tried to do the ticker it didn't work. I had copied the HTML code. Once I read the instructions I found I needed to copy and paste the BBCode (the top box) and like magic I had my ticker for my posts.
Hope this helps.

I copied and pasted the first BHTML code and when it didn't work I did the same with the HTML. It still didn't work. I'll get my husband to help me with it tomorrow......he is the computer geek in the family....
Thanks for your tips.....maybe next time I post I'll have a ticker ..... 0 -
Hi Terri and all,
Thanks for the scripture. I love it. I am gonna read that one when I get in bed. I did really well, and then shoved a piece of cake in my mouth. I shoved in another until I remembered my goal for my birthday. I spit it out.
He, my mighty God, my saviour tried to talk to me but I didn't want to hear Him. Forgive me God and do not give up on me. Tomorrow is another day.
Question: Were sweets created by demons? Naw, couldn't be. could they?
be blessed, kc

HEY LADIES......I DID IT.....I NOW HAVE A TICKER !! Not going to tell you what I did "stupid" but I figured it out. Didn't even have to ask my husband for his help. :laugh:
Next question. I notice when someone is posting a reply to another person they copy the message they are replying to. How do you do that ? I assume it has something to do with the "quote" prompt at the bottom of the message but haven't figured out exactly how to do it.
I've only been doing this for 6 days so I haven't weighed yet. It will be a week on Friday so I guess I'll get on the scale. Maybe my little frog will hop a few notches on my ticker.0 -
Teri, love that verse, thank you for the reminder. I am so tired tonight I can't see straight. So best to all I'm off to the land of Nod and taking Winkin and Blinkin with me.
Good night all. Alice0 -
Sweets were definitely created by demons; hence, "sinfully delicious devils food cake" for example.0

Hi Robinia,
Welcome to the 50+ Women thread. This is the greatest group. Thank you for posting your gratitude list. A few years ago when my life was at a very low point, someone suggested that I start my day with a gratitude list. I've been doing that ever since and you are right that it keeps me focused on the right things and improves my attitude.
It helps me to read and post every day to be always in the company of people who have health and fitness as their goals and who will applaud my successes and encourage me when I falter.
Barbie :drinker: :drinker:
Hi barb,
Thank you for your welcome here on this message board. It is so nice and inspiring to be in company of those who are doing something about their goals as well.
Blessings, Robinia
My Gratitudes
:flowerforyou: Stayed within calories again today!
:flowerforyou: My dog went to the vet today and is okay except for some flea alergies.
:flowerforyou: My sister got her dog back after having to give him away for a year!
:flowerforyou: God is so good.

:flowerforyou: Good Evening to all,
I've had a busy day doing things that I don't normally do. I ate some stuff I don't normally eat so I spent a lot of time on the exercise bike burning up all the calories. Jake is in Ohio with his mother. He's lonely without me but glad he made the effort to go.
:flowerforyou: Kathy, it's great to hear about your visits to the gym. It sounds like you're getting back to being your former self at the gym. Music is so great for exercise.
:flowerforyou: HeatherMMB----one of my line dance teachers had fibromyalgia and she dances and hikes and stays active.
:flowerforyou: Birdie, I loved all your suggestions fo weight loss. Thanks for sharing them.
:flowerforyou: Peschuntz, I'm looking forward to hearing about your meeting with the weight loss doctor. I hope you'll share the good stuff you learn.
:flowerforyou: Doobiedoo
Never, never, never give up :bigsmile:
This is my night for my hour long phone conversation with my cousin. I think I'll ride the exercise bike while I talk to her. Then I'll have enough calories to have a good snack before bed, :laugh: :laugh: although tomorrow is my weigh in day so I want to be careful.
hugs to all

All you do is push the quote button. The quoted material will appear in a box that looks just the way it does when you do a post, except the quoted material appears at the top of the box, with the word "quote" surrounded by brackets appearing at the start and end of the quote. All you do after pushing the quote button is type your response UNDER all the quoted material. and when you are finished, click on the "post reply" button.

:flowerforyou: Good morning EVERYONE....I am chanting "I am toooo blessed to be stressed"
stress...... stress........ go away and don't come another day. Hold on to the positive and throw out the negative. A co-worker of mine died Monday. She was only 49 years old. She had a wonderful evening joking and watching movies with her daughter, went to bed and never woke up. Remember TODAY to tell the people you love or care about how you feel, tomorrow may be to late. I love you guys, thank you for being there, Rosemary0 -
Morning Rosemary;
My BIL asked us to pray for one of his friends. The friends 30 yr old daughter was killed in a car accident over the weekend. (Her husband was driving them home from a dinner date and swerved to avoid hitting a deer). So you never know. Tragic things happen all around us so let's make the most of our time here on this earth.
Make it a point to bless everyone you come into contact with today!
I'm getting my mammogram this morning. My 85 yr old mother is a 30 year survivor! I hope each of you are getting your mammograms and doing self exams. Self exam should be one of the easiest things to do but I find myself not doing them regularly. So a goal of mine is to start doing this regularly.
I hope you all have a good day.0 -

I'll pop back on here later and read up on everyone. I'm headed out the door with my MiL to an estate sale hoping they have some of my mother's china pattern.
I'm thrilled to be able to report the scale is still on the move at my house. After 33 weeks of doing thisI am down a total of 28 pounds. :bigsmile: ALMOST halfway there!

There's another trick to quoting someone else's post. You can delete some of what is inside the quote so if you only want to respond to one sentence or paragraph in the middle of the quote you can highlight and delete the rest of the words.
This is my weigh in day on another thread and I'm down another pound. I'm going to celebrate by getting some more "too big" clothes" off the shelves and put them in the give away box.
:flowerforyou: Susan, congratulations on your further weight loss. You have been a shining example of someone who never gives up.
:flowerforyou: Debbie, I have missed your cheery posts. I'm so glad to hear from you again. I know you'll find the focus and resolve you need to move further on this journey and get into those white jeans.
:flowerforyou: I spent an hour on the phone last night (20 minutes of it on the exercise bike) talking to my 86 year old cousin who is losing her sight. She says that there is nothing in the world worse than losing your sight and she is worse off than anyone else. She resists every suggestion I make and says she knows for a fact that blind people can't possibly be happy. It is such a pleasure to return to all of you and your positive attitudes. I believe that just waking up in the morning makes it a good day. I am grateful to be alive and grateful for the lives of those around me. Thank you Rosemary and Mamacindy for reminding me to reach out today to those I love.
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I got my mammogram last week and all is well. I'll redouble my resolve to do self exam more frequently and I hope all the rest of you will do the same.
I got up early hoping to get some chores done before line dance, so I'd better get busy.
hugs,

CHORES. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:0 -
Up early to weigh in....I am 170.2! Another few ounces and I will be in the 160's!!!!!!!:bigsmile:
I take care of my mom who had a stroke. She lives with me and is completely bed bound. And I have a sister who also had a stroke. Between the two I run a lot of errands. Sometimes I dont have the time or energy to attend to myself. So in the past I have taken my stress out with food. I am so happy that I am not stress eating anymore. I am being a lot more CONCIOUS (TYPO) of how and why I am putting something in my mouth. Can anyone relate?

I see people quoting "part" of another person's quote. How do you do that? :ohwell: The only way I've done it, is to delete the rest of the quote but when it appears in the post it appears as part of my quote not their's.
So, Tech Barb, any ideas???

Amen! My first husband came home from working the 2nd shift (23 years ago) and died right next to me while we were watching TV:noway: I'm so glad I told him everyday that I loved him!!!:brokenheart: Sorry about your friend:frown: she was very young.:frown:

Just back from getting my mammogram! Yeah!!!! I am looking forward to getting that nice little letter from the doc telling me nothing has changed.... report back next year!
Robina: I'm also a full time caregiver for my MIL who has Alzheimer's. We have been with her for 14 years. She is only able to get out of bed with the help of my husband or son. We all try to work together. One thing I have always done is take care of me first. I have had feelings of guilt about that but then I know I am a better caregiver when I know I am doing what I need to do for myself. In the long run she gets better care.
What is your mother's prognosis? Will she ever regain ability to care for herself?
I'll say a prayer for you.
