Good morning ladies,
Welcome to all newcomers. This is a great thread. Congrats to those losing weight. Great job. For those who are stuck are back sliding just get back on the wagon. You can do it. I weigh in tomorrow after a 2 1/2 week time without weighing. I really think I have lost but we will see.
I dropped the girls at preschool and went to the gym. Did 80 min and burned about 1000 cal.
Now I am making a gumbo for supper. The girls asked me to make them one. Kind of warm here to make gumbo but that s what they wanted. Looking forward to a little break. Two of children I babysit have moms that are teachers and they are having a fall break, fri, mon, tues. So that will be nice. Hubby is not coming home till next week. It will be 2 weeks Mond. I really miss him. I talk to him on phone every day but still not the same. Making good money so cant complain.
Need to go call the doctor. Still did not get my results from blood test. Have a great day.

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.
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.

Thanks , I figured it was simple but since I had so many posts on my screw up with the Weight Loss Ticker, I figured I'd just ask for help first.
Also thanks to all you ladies for your advice and supportive messages. I LOVE this group of women !! Good luck to you all.
Tomorrow will be one week, so I have my first weigh-in. I feel like I've done well but I'm still scared my little froggie won't jump.:brokenheart:0 -

Cindy

Hello Ladies:flowerforyou:
Got to the gym again. Did highest incline for 30 min. Then went back done to 0 level and upped the speed for another 30. Not bad, getting better. I bought the Biggest loser All Natural Protein Whey Powder, so I can have it as soon as I am done with exercising. I'm hoping it will keep me from getting so tired after workouts.

There is something strange going on this morning w/ the quote feature. Even if I make a point of posting my reply AFTER the "quote" at the bottom of the material I am replying to, the blue highlighting still shows on my typing. I am going to reply to another post and see if the same thing happens.HEY LADIES......I DID IT.....I NOW HAVE A TICKER !! Not going to tell you what I did "stupid" but I figured it out.

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???
Birdie:embarassed:
You can go in and edit the material quoted, once it appears in the reply window, just like you can your own writing as you are doing it, (or within 15 minutes of YOUR posting by using the "edit" button. You will notice I edited out the upper part of your post and left only the section I was answering. If you do this and make an error and erase more than you intended to, you don't have to retype it.. As long as it is prior to your posting of the "reply" you can just use the back arrow/button on your browser, and start over again at the "quote" button underneat the post you are replying to.
Barb
As you can see, my reply is again appearing with the normal white background of new material, rather than a background of blue as in previous post. There must have been something strange in the code that saved in the original message that caused this malfunction. It is nothing to be concerned about.

I don't have time to post anything more now, as I need to get out in the sunshine and walk before I have to go to work in 2 hours.
Everyone have a good Thursday.:flowerforyou: Remember tomorrow it is TGIF:drinker: :drinker: Unfortunately, the TGIF in my town closed about 3 weeks ago, and we have heard nothing about when it might re open. Bummer:grumble:

Good day to all. I am enjoying reading the tread each day. So much action and success. It is great. My weight loss group end two weeks ago but we got together last night and weight in using the official scale. I was down 5 lb for the two weeks, I was only expecting 3 lbs. I actually squealled with joy. :happy:
I have been exercising more now that I have a Y membership and classes to take. I can do good on the treadmill but classes (zumba and yoga right now) make me work so much harder to keep up. I set a goal of 220 lbs for the new year. Now I am not sure if it is agressive enough.
So a questions for the group: Should I keep the goal at its current level and be beat it or set the goal at a bigger stretch and possible miss it?
Thanks

If you don't delete the place where it says quote, it should separate the quoted part from the part you add.0 -

Thanks, Susan
I'd meet the goal first, then set another one. But that's just me.
BTW, I just updated my profile picture to one that was taken this week. The weight loss really shows up in my neck and jawline.0 -

I've lowered my goal three times
long before I actually met the original goal. I keep getting new ideas of what I'd like to be like. You can always lower the goal a little as you get closer.
Barbie
PS. I had to edit this three times to make the quote appear the way I wanted it. I love that we're trying to learn new stuff about posting along with everything else on MFP :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
:happy:
Thanks...you're right

Well that's my quoting lesson out of the way:laugh:
I just like the little faces. They seem to always know what i mean!
Today is another marathon day in the life of Heather. It started at 4 with a little doggy having to pee then a missed phone call at 5:30. Sadly it turned out to be a cousin of my hub informing us that they where taking his step father off life support. He passed at 7:45 this a.m. May he rest in peace. My husband's aunt is one of my favourite people and I will make time to spend with her over this weekend because she always tells me I'm her pet and she loves me. She will be 83 next week and losing a loved one at any age is traumatic. as most of us know
Gotta go BOSS ALERT:laugh:0 -

ANOTHER HELPFUL POST FOR ME!!!! Kathy 0 -
I am soooooo far behind on the posts. I caught the bug that is going around Monday and now am feeling better but overwhelmed with all the posts I've missed.
Hope you are all doing well. I'm getting ready for 3 weeks of travel. I'll be leaving on the 13th for California and then back on the 19th to get ready to leave on the 21st for Arizona. I won't be online much so I'll be mia but hopefully I'll be able to stay focused on eating healthy!
More later,
Esther0 -
I love the new pic too You should put the other one in your profile pics so we can really see the difference.
Okay you asked. Here's my fat picture next to the one taken day before yesterday.

:drinker: Suezzzque WOW you are a true inspiration. Do you have that portrait in the attic? I am soooo jealous.
:drinker: Kathy- love your pictures. I am a real idiot. It took me until tonight to realize that was a side by side picture of you…. Way to go keep up the good work.
:drinker: Susan-Congratulations on the 5 lbs….Way to go…..
:drinker: Benson-So sorry for your loss. I will keep your family in my prayers
I found a new exercise it is call "Cardioke" Pronounced "Card-e-o-key" Oh my God it is so much fun. It is dancing, singing and really gets the heart racin' and your body sweatin' I found it on Comcast ON DEMAND. It seems they took off my Leslie Sansone 3 mile walk, so I decided to explore other options. This was the third one I checked out and I think I will go back again tomorrow night.
To all the rest of our family have a wonderful Friday
drink :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: that water, Rosemary0 -
Sitting in my warm living room, eating peanut butter and celery, and watching college football being played in the pouring rain. During commercials, packing for a camping weekend with my family. Life is good.0
