Sounds delicious. Calories are easy to figure out in MFP. Select the food tab. Selelct Recipe. Select Enter recipe manually. Enter the name of your recipe, number of servings it makes, and then list the ingredients and amounts one by one. When you're finished, select match ingredients. If everything looks right, save the…

Just put it behind you and move forward!

I can't believe the baby is already 1! Good luck with the babysitting.

Cat, I hope your sinuses are getting better. I had another day of staying within calorie limits. I hope this becomes a trend!

Remember that we are only trying to lose 0.5 pound per week. Our calorie counts can be higher than when we were shooting for 2 pounds. :D We should be able to maintain a deficit of 250 calories per day.

Yesterday was a good day! We can do this Cat. We just have to get back into the groove that we were in two years ago!

Up 1 pound. :'( Going to try again for a half.

Most but not all of our daughters' stuff is out of our house. Older daughter has a city condo and is space limited, so we have a trunk and 2 dollhouses of hers still here. I'm eating badly again too. I don't know why. I was thinking yesterday that I wish Gerri would come back and ship us into shape. :D

I think that what you are doing definitely counts as exercise. I remember how heavy boxes of books are from when we moved 14 years ago. Keep up the good work!

I had lunch with an old friend at a restaurant that we visit about every other year. They have chocolate covered eclairs that are out of this world. I had half of a veggie burger, half of my cole slaw, and 1/3 of the eclair. Not a great day, but there was no way I was passing up the eclair. :D

A good part of that is probably water do to the high salt content in restaurant food. Another half-pound goal?

Down 0.3.

I do love thrift stores and antique shops. I collected depression glass and Stangl pottery, but I don't need any more pieces now. I still love browsing though. Today was a decent day. Hope all goes well for tomorrow's weigh-in.

I know that I can log several miles without ever leaving the house, so I bet your counts are pretty accurate. 30 calories over. I'm happy with that. :) Hopefully I'll get a good night's sleep and will be able to do more exercise tomorrow. Daughter and I went to an estate sale a few weeks ago. It blew me away. I came away…

Daughter texted us at 10pm telling us to go outside to see the lights. We were already asleep, so we missed it. :D Hope you feel better soon. <3

We had company for dinner last night, and by the time I finished cleaning up I was too tired to post. It was a less than stellar day. Back at it today!

I love fig newtons. Haven't had them in ages. Exercise went well. Over on calories. :#

What you are doing is activity and is certainly better than sitting. Today was better exercise-wise, but eating was tougher. I caught myself eating mindlessly out of the pantry. :/

Cat, I feel like with a fresh start, I would like to clean up this group. Do you mind if I delete the old challenge threads? We can create fresh, new appropriate ones as we go along. If you prefer to keep them, it's absolutely fine. I'm just in a housecleaning mood. I have 26 pounds to lose. At half a pound a week, that…

:'( :'( :'(

We did it before. We can do it again!

I have to confess - I am more than a little worried about Monday's weigh-in. I haven't gotten on the scale in a few weeks, and I have been doing a lot of stress eating. :# You might hear some long distance screaming. :o I just bought some more roasted edamame. I don't usually crave salty snacks, but when I want crunch,…

It worked! Thank you. Half a pound sounds good.

Hi, Cat. Are you willing to grant me leader status again? If so, you can do it by clicking on the group name, 60 & Over Serious & Ready!! You'll see a blue Options button. Click that and you'll see a drop-down menu. Select Manage Members. A list of members will open. Select Leader next to my name.

Okay, Cat. I am back! I’m exhausted tonight, but I’ll write more tomorrow.

Fit Force please. Continuing as flight attendant.

Cat, good luck with the sale of your house. I hope it all goes smoothly. My best to your husband. I wish him a full and speedy recovery. My best to you as well as you deal with all of this stress. I'm going to stop monitoring this group for now. If you return to MFP and want support, send me a MFP message and let me know…

Cat, where are you? Are you doing an amazing job on your own? I hope so! Are you throwing in the towel? Do you want a reset? Let me know what you think.

My go-to has always been Jane Fonda's step aerobics. There are multiple levels within the class for lower and higher intensity workouts. I used the DVD, but I see it is on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8WgI2JtNzQ
