Hi friends I haven't met yet
:p Just found this group, and I don't know how many are checking in once in awhile, but maybe if I do, I'll meet some of you. I set this Group as my homepage here on MFP, so it's the first thing I see when I get here. That will help me to remember, lol;) Also, if anyone knows whether or not our "set" alerts/notifications…

December Gratitude and Chat Thread
Good morning everyone! Here I am back for my once a month check in. I have been with this group so long (2013 I started with MFP, maybe with this group too?) that doing my monthly weigh in just automatically leads to my monthly post! I would post more often, but now that I no longer track food or calories (God I am so glad…

OCT 2018 Gratitude and Chats
Sorry everyone. I forgot to post this before the month turnover. And have been busy ever since. With the feasting holidays quickly approaching, hope everyone is figuring out how to enjoy them and not stress out about how to handle them. I decided to give non food goodies out for Halloween this year, order some glow in the…

SEPT. 2018 Chat and Gratitude
Sorry, I'm late getting this up. I hope you all had a safe and fun Labor Day holiday. I'm grateful the house behind ours has sold to a couple with a well behaved dog and no little kids running around either. He has already removed an eye sore, a dead tree the previous owners never bothered to remove.

August 2018 Gratitude and Chatting
Wow, the summer is flying by. I hope everyone is keeping cool, a lot of heat waves going on this year. I'm grateful I have stuck to my WOE for the last two years. I started LCHF/Keto at the end of July 2016 and it is the best thing I could have done for myself. No more yoyoing for me. I stay within 3 lbs. of my goal weight…

New Here
So I'm not quite 60 (turned 59 in March), but I recognize that aging necessitates altering my workout regimen a bit and welcome some advice on my journey. A bit about me: I began doing triathlons about 8 years ago. I am a lifelong swimmer and biker, and when I lost 30 lbs 10 years ago (using WW) started running as a way to…

JULY 2018 Gratitude and Chatting
Sorry I was late getting the threads up. While my life is fine, my family members have some serious issues going on, and I did get distracted by them. I am grateful I reached my 69th birthday yesterday and I am still under my goal weight, enjoying my WOE, and have met some great people along the way. I hope everyone has…

Missed June sorry folks. Let's make some progress in July. Set your challenge, and report back here. Do you need to do more walking, strength training, tighten up on the treats, doesn't matter what it is, if you need it do it for you because you deserve to reach your goals. Whatever it takes.

Picking self up. Yet again
4days of staff luncheons was far too much for me to handle. I am definitely not free to choose food yet. And then heartburn to boot. Well back on track now. This journey far from easy at my age. And habits. So back in the saddle now. How are your journeys going?

June Gratitude and Chatting Thread
Good morning everyone! I am just stopping in for my monthly check in. I lost another 5.6 lbs this month by continuing on OMAD. I see that people had a couple of questions about it, so here are the basics. I started OMAD (One Meal A Day) after reading the book Delay, Don't Deny, which basically means that you can eat…

May Gratitude and Chatting Thread
Good morning everyone! I am taking the liberty to start the gratitude thread this month because I don't see one for May and I am just stopping in for my monthly update and I am in a time crunch. This morning I found that my loss this month brought me to 50 lbs!!! I hope for my loss in May to also bring me to a 50 lb loss…

April gratitude and chatting thread.
April, can you believe it? I had a pleasant surprise today. My hairdresser started vegan Keto and intermittent fasting about 3 months ago. She has gone from 136 to 116, she wasn't even aiming that low :) She said she weighed that in 7th grade. Never in her adult life. She had watched me dropping my weight and decided to…

April 2018 challenge
Anyone up for a self challenge this month? I will be working on getting my average steps back up to 10 K still. Had a few bad weather days, so 8277 ended up being my 28 day average. I am also going to try cutting out dairy except for goat cheese and butter. Neither have ever seemed to bother me, but too much cheese can…

RIP, dear Bobbie Armstrong
I learned that Bobbie passed away yesterday. My heart goes out to her family, especially Clyde and her children. I haven't learned how it happened, she always seemed so full of life in her postings. I think this was unexpected. She was loved by many in this group. Farewell, sweet friend.
