Hello there, happy hump day!
How fun reading about what everyone's up to. Me, well, I'm up to my ears in weeding, harvesting and processing vegs from the garden. I put all 10 gallons :noway: of boysenberries in the freezer for jamming this fall, but Nancy, now I want to go buy a flat of strawberries since reading that you made several pints of strawberry jam. It's just the best! Oh, I did make 3 quarts of boysenberry brandy
that'll be ready on my birthday in October. It'll be a rip-roaring party :laugh:
Happy to report hubby started back to work yesterday, :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: thank goodness. It's a temp job but still, it's something. I'm breathing a big sigh of relief.
Down another pound this week, 8 to go to reach my goal. Yesterday I gave a hug to my neighbor lady who said, "You're so skinny! I can feel your ribs!" Ha. She didn't hug my fanny, though :laugh:
Welcome everyone new :flowerforyou: Eat less, move more, and don't forget - If you wanna be lean, eat your greens
Drink drink drink your water :drinker: and keep a positive outlook. Little fumbles along the way are just part of the journey, try not to beat yourself up.
Good day to all :happy:

Hello ladies :happy:
I have been trying to get caught up on all the post. I am at work now. I took my friend Doris home after I got off work last night , she was in the hospital , and had surgery for cancer. she is doing ok , but I worrie about her being alone. However a ladie from her church is suppose to look in on her this morning.
I realy blew it , I was so hungry when I got home and I was just worn out . I should have gone to bed and not ate a all , but no I ate ,ate and ate , so to day I am drinking lots of water and sald for lunch and very light dinner. also trying to get in some extra walking .
Hope you all have a wonderful day 0 -
:flowerforyou: Hump day - Wednesday,
Just checking in before I tackle all my quarterly and monthly reports that are due on Friday :huh: Not my favorite thing to do.
Weighed in and stayed the same as last week so that was good considering how last weekend was with family, BBQ's and restuarants:blushing: Taking it one day at a time and when I have a week like this past one I have to look at my ticker and see how far I've come because it's seeing that and wearing the clothes that I couldn't wear last year that keep me going.
We got in a bike ride last night when I got home and having had a rest from riding my legs felt great and boy did we do the ride around the resevoir so much faster. Saw 11 deer but only one buck...and that's one of the reasons I like to ride over there seeing the wildlife.
Hope you all have a great day. Robin the wedding picture looks wonderfu:happy: l. jb- happy for your hubby getting a job even if it's temporary...my hubby is still unemployed and his unemployment runs out the end of this month unless there is another extension:ohwell:
To all of you walking through illness with family and friends {{hugs}} your support is what they all need:flowerforyou:
Must get to the work.

Hello all,
Another sunny day here, and DH is working, so J-boy and I are home alone. Well, J’boy is sleeping. That’s what 14 year old boys do. :ohwell: I did get the laundry done yesterday! Yeah. :drinker: Today it’s clean out the fridge and sweep the patio. I have to make lists for myself! Oh, it’s a gym day too, I I’ll be off to throw heavy things around for a while.
Two AFD (alcohol free days) in a row for me. :happy: Today will be another.
Go Linda! :drinker: Another three pounds down is great.
Hello CarolALeBrun, I knew without looking at your profile that you are from Calgary, who else would say “Now that Stampede is over…”:happy: . We’re just west of you in Creston, BC. Have fun at the gym, those clothes are calling.
Barbie, I hope the holiday with BIL is going well and you not missing too many classes.
Good to hear from you Kackie!
JB – Boysenberry brandy????? :noway: Wowzer.
Happy Anniversary, Jane.
Hasta pronto,
Nancy
Big picture: Learn to relax without wine. Apply the same self-discipline with alcohol that I have learned to use with food.
Plan what I eat - eat what I plan. Every day.
Get the routine chores done – no procrastination!
Act the way I want to feel. Be kind.0 -
Thank you for the welcome. The photo is actually not of my guys. It was taken at a clients home where they felt their two dogs, a 1 year old spring spaniel and 6 month old golden and their daughters 9 month old pit bull were out of control. I was working with all the dogs off leash and they got so excited they started snapping photos. I do have three dogs all shelties right now. One is retired at age 13, one is 8 and learning competing in agility and the third is a 7 month old with more energy than anyone one creature should ever have!
I am not having a great start up on the weight loss goal. I have not gotten to the store to get the right foods due to a pipe bursting in my ceiling. ugh However I will try to at least try not to constantly munch until I have all the right foods to eat.
Hope all is well for you and I would love see photos of your furry kids.

Hi all. I'm sorry this will be short and not really personalized... it has been one crazy day.
I was scheduled to go to work to grade senior presentations, then go to the nursing home for a care conference for my dad. I thought they were at 12 and 3....BUT when I got up (at 8:05) I decided to look at my work calendar on line just to see what room I was in (I wasn't planning on stopping in my office to look) and YIKES my meetings were at 9 and 2!
Holy buckets! Work is all the way across town, so I really booked it. I ended up eating a mc muffin for breakfast, but not the potatoes, so that wasn't as bad as it could have been. Then my meeting went way long and I had to run to the nursing home (again, all the way across town) so I got a subway and baked chips. Again, not great, but not horrible either. No mayo or oil. Then I had to run all the way across town AGAIN to pick up a wreath I had custom made and which was finished the day before we went on vacation. They had called me multiple times when we were gone. UGH
So now I have a headache LOL. I'm going to take a nap. So excuse the brevity. I hope everyone is having a great day and staying on plan. Drink that water! Take care, Meg0 -
Holly, when I started on MFP, I was eating up all the food I had in my house before I bought special stuff, so my first goal was to plan my meals for the day and stick to the plan, no matter what. It worked for me. My first weeks were full of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on very fat bread, cheese ravioli, and other foods that today I would not allow in my house.....it helped me establish good habits and and learn to say to no to any food that was offered to me by other people no matter how benign or well meaning.]
I am not having a great start up on the weight loss goal. I have not gotten to the store to get the right foods due to a pipe bursting in my ceiling. ugh However I will try to at least try not to constantly munch until I have all the right foods to eat.
Hope all is well for you and I would love see photos of your furry kids.
Holly
My current profile picture is my frisky poodles, Brandy and Sasha
Meg, success is inspirational, disaster is educational. I'm sure you learned a lot about planning meals ahead of time and reading your calendar the night before
lessons that will go far to improve the quality of your life.....every day I am grateful for the opportunity to learn important lessons that I couldn't have learned any other way.
My BIL's flight was cancelled and rescheduled for tomorrow so I got to go to line dance this morning but we'll have to reschedule the trip to Victoria that we'd planned for tomorrow....my friend coming from Texas is flying in this afternoon so we'll be picking her up today and BIL tomorrow.
DeeDee, grilled salmon and steamed veggies is my usual order when I go to a restaurant (of course that doesn't work at Chinese or Mexican :laugh: )
Nancy, I've been making lists for myself for years and it has made a huge difference in my life.
jb, congrats to your hubby on getting a job....if we life one day at a time, then everything is temporary
Laura, for those of us who have been gaining weight for decades, having the scale stay the same is a great victory
Time to head for the airport Barbie from NW Washington 0 -
Jane,
Happy Anniversary0 -
Still no word on when I'll receive a service call on my Internet issue but I'm on right now so I'm hoping I can finish my post.
Barbie - I believe I do the same thing you do. There are definitely things I just don't want in the house because I cannot assure that I'll control myself around them. I'm quite strict with myself because I'm really trying to be healthier.
Happy Anniverary to Jane.
I love all the pictures with doggies in them. I adore dogs.
And I see my router is a no go right now. Hope I can post this.
Lin0 -
Raysfan - your job sounds absolutely wonderful. Something that I'd really like to do. But I realize that not a whole lot of people can do that. How awesome for you! Keep bringing those guys home!!!!
marthajgGiffo - happy birthday. You're right, just get right back on track as soon as you can. It is so easy to fall into the trap of "oh, I'll get on track tomorrow", as Nike says "just DO IT"
Rose and Linda - we used to live in Kennett Square, PA
Yesterday (Tues) I did speed intervals on the treadmills, 30 seconds at 5mph, 30 sec at 4mph, all at 1.5% incline. Today is water Aerobics. Tomorrow (Thurs) is a Jari Love Ripped Slim & Chiseled DVD
lizmil - the closest Whole Foods to me is in Winston-Salem. Went there once, they have a good variety and, honestly, I didn't find the prices to be that outrageous. I was afraid they might be. You're so lucky to have one opening near you.
jo3y20 - great results at the doctors. Prayers for your friend. So glad the operation was a success
cjspensley - we need to start regardless of when our vacations are, too bad your son doesn't understand that. what if you had waited to start after this vacation, what would have happened when your next vacation came up? What would he say? "Oh, you're on vacation, so don't worry". No, this is a lifetime change, and life sometimes throws us curve balls, we have to work with them. Good for you doing all that exercise! Sometimes it's good to change things up (like a "bike to nowhere" versus a 'real' bike)
petalsandpaws - I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. Can you take something with you to his chemo and leave it in the car while he's having his treatment then bring it into the fast food place with you? You might be able to much on some grapes or baby carrots on the way home.
joy2320 - welcome!
Amanda - you're getting there, not having a taste for "bad" foods. It feels good, huh? Woohoo on the no cigaretts! That's a great accomplishment! I hear ya about how hard it is when your kids are in a different country. How I wish Bryan was on the same continent as me. I don't care if he's in the same time zone -- the same continent would be great. But I don't see that happening in the near future.
hollywallace - welcome! Stop by often and tell us more about yourself. What profession are you in? Remember that a person can be fit and fat. So is it really about how one looks?
megblair - I loved the movie "the Bridges of Madison County". How wonderful you got to see where it was filmed!
wordsmith - welcome! We're so glad to have you
Jen - I have never heard of "grapevine running" in the water. Is that basicaly doing a grapevine in the water? Sounds interesting
Rose - so sorry you've been having family problems,
lizmil - oh, those Krispy Kreme tours! And you get to eat them right off the conveyor belt! I just try to avoid that place, but it can be hard.
kackie - happy birthday to you DH
Don't know what happened, but it looks like Bonnie got into something, and she is SOOOO matted. Vince and I tried to get the mats out yesterday, we tried cutting them out, but were afraid we might get her skin. Today she's going to a groomer, she'll probably have to be shaved.
Had bunco here last night. Had mahjongg here Mon night, maj'd 5 times, then played yesterday afternoon and maj'd twice. Then bunco (which we really played Mexican Train Dominoes), I tried to be good about what I ate, had some of this one lady's broccoli salad, some shrimp, 1/4 of one lady's pulled pork sandwich, and some of my cheese sausage balls. Then I had some of the key lime cake I made because I needed to try it since I replaced all the oil with yogurt and instead of 5 eggs I used egg substitute for 4 of them and only one egg. Actualy, it was quite moist. You are supposed to poke holes in the top and drizzle the icing on. I'd read in Cooks Illustrated that a meat tenderizer isn't as good as a meat mallet for tenderizing meat, so I was going to give away my tenderizer. But I wondered how it would work to make small holes for the icing. It worked, so I might just keep it!
After water aerobics, senior bowling.
The hardest problem I find with logging my food before I eat it, is that sometimes I forget what it was that I was going to have for a vege or whatever. Well.....could be worse.
jb - that's wonderful that your hubby is working again. I'm so happy for you. Congrats on the weight loss. I like your saying "if you want to be lean, eat your greens". I'm going to remember that. Somehow, I don't think you're referring to key lime cake which is green....lol
janemartin - happy anniversary!
Well, we picked Bonnie up from the groomer. As expected, she is shaved down to almost the skin. It's funny, when we brought her home, all the other cats really sniffed her. Right now she reminds me of that cat that mimi-Me had in the movie.
Gonna take a shower, then watch Dallas. Hope everyone has a great evening.

Having gone totally news free since June 11th, I just learned in conversation with a British woman at the campground laundromat that there were mudslides on the Going To The Sun Road at Glacier National Park yesterday. We were planning to drive it tomorrow. I just looked online and part of it is still closed. Trying to decide what to do, and hoping that they get it open. Mostly thanking God that we weren't there yesterday! Hope all of you are doing well! Mary, the wanderer0

Just a quick post to whine a little before going back to bed.
Was on track with food and activity. Making step goals or close to it most days.
Hastening to clear off my desk and get ready leave Friday for Women's retreat. No time to pack a lunch the past 2 days so bought a big tuna salad yesterday. Finished all the veggies but there was so much tuna I only ate half and put the other half in the fridge for today.
Mistake.
Ate the tuna with my home packed veggies about 3.
About 5 the disaster struck. :sick: Cramps, runs, cold clammy sweats, whole kaboodle. Pal gave me some immodium-d so I could make the 15 minute drive home, where I promptly lost the rest of the tuna from the other end. How is it that you can throw up 3 times the amount of badstuff you ate? :sick:
No line dance class for me tonight:sad: , and over calories with gingerale and chips trying to settl things down.
Foo.
Way far behind on the postings, will try to catch up next week.
Hugs to all,
Barbara, the AHMOD who WILL be size 10 one day
July: EVERY DAY: 3 fruits + 5 veggies, at least SOME mat work, average 10K steps, let it be. Really. and no hooch til the weekend!
2012: dance more, bark less and CHECK IN!!!

Hello all, sorry this posts is a little bit late came in from work very late ate dinner and fell asleep in my reclinder.
@megblair I hope you are feeling better headaches yuk.
@Barbie have a fun time with family
@Holly welcome
today went ok it was very hard and long so pretty tired right now. Just wanting to say Hi I hope everyone had a good day, I really look forward to getting on each day to see how everyone is doing. So this is short and sweet. Wishing you all a a wonderful day tomorrow0 -
@DeeDee--thanks. I hope you had a fun time with your family tonight.0

So, the vacation is almost over...we drove 12 hours today, from Gulfport MS to Paducah KY. Tomorrow the rest of the way to Chicago and home. Hopefully that's only 6-7 hours. I have knit a complete pair of socks on this trip...I'll finish the last few rows and bind off tomorrow morning. Then I have a sweater to work on.
It's hard to eat well when the hubby wants to go to Arby's (found counts on MFP) and Olive Garden (they were most helpful...provided a complete nutritional listing for their entire menu), and I did ok. He thinks this is a good thing I'm trying to do. He's been encouraging in that he's interested in how the MFP website works, the information it contains, etc. But it's like he just doesn't GET IT about what I'm really trying to accomplish. He could certainly benefit from doing the same thing I'm doing. I'll just have to learn to manage this within the parameters of the places he chooses to eat. Just about anywhere has a salad...I think it will be easier once we get home and I am cooking meals...I have a lot more control then...he'll eat what I prepare.
Worked out in the pool again tonight...I miss my bike! Our youngest will be home for a few weeks, and we can ride bikes together. That will be fun. Of course he's in tip-top shape, having just completed Basic Training and Tech School for the Air Force....hopefully I can keep up with him!0 -
Hello, great to find a group of ladies that I can relate too! July is almost over but not too late to seek future support & friendship!
I'm 64& striving to stay active, mobile & continue to live a healthy life.
I would like to be involved with your group & join in your challenges.0 -
My goal for July. To get off this plateau and back losing again but doing it intelligently.
I'm glad this message thread is here! We women who are over 50 and who have chosen to get ourselves where we want to be with hard work and determination deserve to have a message thread. And to meet good people from all over the place who are in the same or similar boats to us.0 -
Good morning ladies
I hope you are all doing well. I can't believe we are already on part two for July. We are really a chatty bunch!
Hello to all the newbies - you have found just about the most supportive group of women I have ever come across. I swear I would never have reached maintenance point without each and every one of them. If I ever win an Oscar you will be in my acceptance speech!
Today is my new, more positive day - I need to let go of the fact that I am sad because my DD#2 now lives in Germany and be happy that she is able to live a more fulfilling life for herself.
I also have to accept the fact that I am never going to be fit enough to run a marathon (or even walk one!) and be grateful that I no longer have to use a walking stick (sometimes two) just to get from my house to the car.
I must accept the fact that my body is never going to be twenty years old again and accept the fact that I have the good fortune to be able to afford clothes to disguise it (even if I could tuck my droopy bosom into my belt!).
I need to face up to my grief over my mum's death seven years ago and be happy that my dad is living a more active life now, at the age of 81 then he did when he was 61.
I have so many things to be thankful for - my DH, who is about to turn 50 next month. I met him when he was 16 and who would have thought that we would be together in our autumn years? Not me and certainly not him. But we are and he is the best a girl could ask for.
And finally ... I should be grateful that I have a job that I enjoy ... and actually start doing some work instead of chatting to you all.
Big hugs and big loves to you all.
Amanda x0 -
Good morning all!
Hope everyone's commitment to healthy living is an opportunity they seize today. I am going to give myself a new challenge starting today to maintain at where I am! I am 5'8" and weigh 135 pounds and am switching to maintenance mode. My exercise goal is to keep up the Nike Fuel Band Activity and add more strength building yoga and pilates to my routine.
I am 4 pounds below my original goal of 139, and have plateau'd at that for several weeks now.0 -
Good morning. It is taking me time to get to know y'all. I moderate, so when I come on I Log, then moderate, post on Black Team, and then come here.
I am thankful for both threads, as it is scary out there:laugh: :laugh: I am not sure if it is the new generation of on-liners, or the world in general, but I like to be supportive and helpful. Ok maybe it is ME.
Anyway-I had that dreadful test needed at 50 years old. I highly recommend you go at all costs for a few reasons.
*they found 2 pc polps and removed them. The doctor explained these are the same things that killed a friend of a close friend a few years back. Had she gone in at 50 or so she would not have died at 59
*ask for an endoscopy at the same time if you have insurance. They found a bacteria in my stomach that was causing all of my morning nausea, reflux and other tummy issues. It was really BAD (kind of dissappointed no one figured this out last year:ohwell: ) I blamed all my symptoms on my divorce, and suffered for nothing.
Sure the prep sucks, but the tests are nothing:flowerforyou:
Also, I want to give HIGH FIVES to us for living healthier lifestyles! The doctor asked me if I had recently gained weight (yes) do I exercise? (no) Do I eat a diet in high fiber, low fat? (no) He said that is why I have the hiatel hernia.:blushing:
SO had I continued in my healthy lifestyle I started 4 years ago, I probably would not have this issue now!!
Good news is, I am back and going strong. Being a part of this thread and BT thread are helping to keep me centered.
Have a wonderful and healthy day:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
Good morning everyone:flowerforyou:
I had a wonderful time last night with gdaughtrers and daughter and son in law. I had a wonderful grilled salmon on top of a baby green salad, with a fabulous lemon horseradish dressing, it was so good . They are off to Savannah for the weekend, my oldest gdaughter is in the girl scouts and this is their trip this year. I know its going to be HOT there!
It's a busy day today for me:grumble: , so I don't have as much time to chat as I would like:frown: .
Welcome to all the newbies:flowerforyou: I think you will really enjoy all the support you get here! Congrats for getting started !!!!!
I hope everyone has a fabulous day!!!! Drink your water:drinker: , and log the food !!!!
Hugs,

Hello to all ladies. I am Dora and I live in Athens Greece. I am happily married 37 years with the same man!!! I have 3 grown up kids. One daughter 35 years old and recently mammy of a beautiful boy and twins boy and girl 32 years old (girl recently married no kids yet, boy not married yet). Till my 10th year I had anorexia and I was near to die. Then my grandmama made a great effort and kept me in life, but the result was to get very fat till my 13 years especially by eating cakes. Then I lost weight till the birth of twins. After giving berth of twins I gained 30 kilos because I had thiroid problems that I didn't discover in time. After 10 years of beeing fat and depressed (twins growing up was very difficult), I lost 30 kilos and I maintaine them till my 49-50 years. Then Chron disease appeared as problem of my twin daughter. In and out of the hospitals add all kilos that I had lost. I forgot to mentioned that I kept kilos away with gym. I lost my gym with hospitals and I balloned very very fast. Four years ago I faced a very serious breakdown with acute hemolytic anemia and acute renal failure because of pils for cholysterol. I recovered completely but very very slowly and still have problems with cholesterol. I am again in pils now but very very little and under doctor's supervise. But I understood that the best for my cholesterol will be to loose weight again. So now that I feel strong again I decided to make a new effort.
The is one thing that terryfied me very much, not to be able to move. I faced it when I broke down and believe me it is a condition that if you never faced it you cannot imagine the feeling. it is the terror!!!!.
So my friends I need your help and support to loose my weight and stop being afraid that I will die (this feeling comes every night after the hospital!!).
Thank you for be so kind and read all my post.
Dora :happy:

Good morning all! It is so much cooler today than it has been. I am actually looking forward to my long walk- in fact am going to walk/run. Also doing 30 day shred, but it will take much more than 30 days to complete. Too many other activities like kayaking, chores:grumble: , and spending time with MIL who is visiting for the summer.
VogtAndrea- I know what you mean about plateau. I have been stuck for weeks. I have increased exercise and am logging/ measuring food, but still no change. I am going to make my diary available to all- maybe someone can see what I am doing wrong.
Amanda- Love your posts! I also had to face a list of facts and reset my thought process. Helped to verbalize and give myself permission to let some things go.
pkw58-Congrats! I am close, but currently stuck.:grumble:
arewethereyet- During the last year I have been on a journey to take control of as many variables that affect my health as I can. It is a lifelong journey, but one I now enjoy and look at as a challenge.
DeeDee- Great job on food choices!:drinker: Wish I liked fish.
Need to get going with my day. I MUST accomplish something constructive today!

Dora- Welcome! Sorry you have had so many health issues to deal with. You have found a fantastic group of women to give you support and motivation! 0

Good morning! I am off to see whatever part of Glacier National Park that they have opened up. Have a great Thursday, lovely ladies! Mary, the wanderer who will be home in August0

Hello ladies - I'm going to post early this morning before my Internet has the chance to get all wonky again!
A news report last night showed a long line of people waiting to get into the new Whole Foods store which opened yesterday. Some 300 folks were reportedly there. And hey, the high yesterday was 103F!! I told you we like to eat. I'll save my visit for a bit later when the glamour wears off. I'm pretty sure the food will still be there.
I'm going to meet some friends this evening at Bang Bang's Mongolian Grill. They have a gluten free menu so hoping for the best. I do worry a lot about getting something contaminated with gluten even when there is a gluten free menu. Not an unfounded worry however, I don't go out often but a good % of time, I come home with less money in my pocket and feeling horrible for a few days. Hoping for the best! I am so tired of feeling ill.
:flowerforyou: Amanda: I hope someday I can cultivate more acceptance and gratitude. It takes much wisdom and self knowledge to know when it's time to accept something versus giving up. You are doing wonderfully.
:flowerforyou: DeeDee: I am a bit in awe of everything you do. You are so busy and for today---back at you :drinker:
:flowerforyou: Dora: welcome to you. I'm quite new here as well but find this a most warm and supportive place. They let me say anything! All best wishes for improved health.

Mary- Enjoy your travels! A few years ago we went to Grand Canyon, Painted desert, White Sands, etc. when my daughter was studying at NMSU at Las Cruzes. Great memories! Love to travel, but rarely get to. Something to look forward to after retirement.
Lin- The 30 day shred is a Jillian Michaels DVD that is sooo hard! I am only doing it every other day and it is getting easier.
