Just popping in to say hello and thank you for all your helpful, informative, and entertaining posts. Not able to respond individually, but I so much appreciate all of you. Had a family picnic yesterday at the farm place where I grew up, and my sister now lives. It was so hot and humid but everyone seemed to have a good…

Just popping in to say hello and thank you for all the great posts and commentary on exercise and food choices. I read as much as I’m able, but am not a good writer. It’s been awhile since I posted, so a quick reminder of who I am. I’m 55, married, no children. I work a fulltime job, plus do the bookkeeping for my…

Greetings! Sue – Too bad I wasn’t posting before you moved. It would have been delightful to meet with you. I’m only an hour from Sioux Falls and go there quite often for shopping and events. I hope you’re enjoying your new home in WA! Becca – Happy Birthday! Hope you had a nice day. Pip – your stats amaze me!! You set a…

Greetings! Linda/IA – I am just a couple hours north of Sioux City on I29. I’ve been to a couple conferences in Sioux City in past years and have enjoyed shopping there. A few years ago my husband and I drove to Sioux City on Easter to eat at a restaurant we enjoy. A few days later, we got a speeding ticket in the mail…

Greetings! Just a quick note because I realized today that MFP Tech folks finally resolved the issue with my profile picture! Woo Hoo!! This is a quick post to check it, but no time to do a lengthy one. Have been reading and thinking of you all. Special thoughts and prayers for Joyce, Becca, Margaret and others facing…

Hello! I’ve been gone awhile, but I think I’m back on track. I briefly posted several months ago, but was a lurker for some time before that. I have been logging, exercising, and reading your posts again for about a week and lost 4 pounds. Katla’s Thomas Edison quote comes to mind: “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.…

Katla – thanks for your words about motivation. It caused me to think why I’m not motivated these days and considered what my motivation was last year when I lost weight. I think it was how I felt about being so heavy and the challenges it caused. I made list I made of things I hated about being so heavy. Things like: it’s…

Greetings! I’ve been keeping up with reading but not much time to post this week. Thoughts and prayers to those that need them and high fives to those with successes! Doing my prep today for a colonoscopy tomorrow. Poor hubby – I get crabby when I’m hungry. Spent some time this weekend trying to get my pic to post – no…

Penny – thanks for the suggestion to resize my pic. I tried that but still no success. I can load it to my profile page, but it doesn’t show on the message board. I tried several different pictures, using Paint to resize them. I also tried different browsers. Maybe next weekend I’ll try again on a different computer. It’s…

Thanks Sylvia, for the suggestion of re-introductions! Great idea. I’m Joyce in South Dakota, am 55 and overweight all my life. Am married to my first husband for almost 11 years. We have no children – human or fur babies – but do have a small business that takes much of our energy and time. I also work full time at the…

Prayers and positive thoughts to Sylvia's son & grandchildren, Bullwinkle, and all others (human and fur babies) with health concerns. Love all the pics - (furbabies, homes, and others) that have been posted recently. I'm not a pet owner, but enjoy the pics and hearing about the impact they have on the lives of those who…

Joyce – lovely Christmas pics. Looks like a setting for great family times! Glad to hear you’re please with your new jewelry armoire. Sylvia – love your computer bag. So much more fun than the standard black! Katla – glad to hear you didn’t get a cast and have use of all 10 fingers! Great news! Wishing you fast healing.…

Greetings! It’s been awhile since I posted, but I’ve been reading as much as I can. I love reading about your lives, successes, and challenges, and how you support each other. I’m envious of those you who write posts; writing is not what I do best. Syliva and others – is there room on your wagon for me? I gained 19 of the…

Greetings! Joyce – Glad to hear your hubby is doing better and you enjoyed a celebration of your anniversary, even though it was late. Beth & MNMargaret – I too experienced weight creep last week. I know what I’m doing wrong (eating too much, eating the wrong foods, moving too little) but struggling to get back on the…

Greetings! CarolNC – Great job on sending out job applications! Great accomplishment! MNMargaret & Barbie – thanks for the suggestions on checking the picture size. So far no success, but I’ll keep on trying. Pip – You amaze me. Your exercise level as you recuperate far exceeds my exercise on an average week. You rock!…

Miriam: We're just a small mom & pop rental place - 2 buildings consisting of 17 apartments. We live in the 18th one but it is quite large. I know there are a lot of federal/state requirements for low income units, but since our apartments aren't low income, I'm sorry, but I don't know much about the details relating to…
