More snow overnight in the Bluegrass. LoL. The kids must be living this. No school all week for Fayette County. So I am exercising here at home. But I sure do miss the bike and classes at the Senior Center. A bunch of us Seniors who are on our own have been checking on each other in this emergency situation.

I use my phone for this, and I am trying to figure out how to post a photo of Ziva, my Disability Service Dog.

Carol, it sure spunds like your daughter is struggling with clinical depression. Please help her get in to see a psychiatrist and therapist. I speak from my own experience. Our natural brain chemicals can make life miserable when they get out of whack.

CrazyDogLady -- I used to show in breed and obedience. Then more recently I did 12 yrs of rescue. These days I just have one LAB mix (mama was a Golden), so I laughed at your thought. Ziva is my Disability Service Dog, and she is awesome!

I've lost 40 since July 1. You can do it!!! Psych yourself up. Stay determined.

Lilymay--you are so right about staying away from A&W. That stuff is toxic, as is most "fast food." And I have given up soft drinks entirely. Just reading the ingredients is a shocker. I don't want that stuff in my body! I'm into water.

I'm feeling frustrated, but still determined. I am battling the weight-enhancing properties of both cymbalta and gabepentin. I've lost $40 lbs since July 1, but have stalled. This is half way to my goal. Just did 75 min. on the stationary bike which both my PT and ortho recommend for my arthritic knees, plus it'good cardio…

Thank you!

Thanks!

I have been consistetly averaging a loss of a pound a week since July 1. My Drs and I are very happy. Other than my cardiac issues, my labs look great. I will be going back up to 60 mg of Cymbalta this week, as the drop to 30 made a huge negative difference in controlling my chronic pain. This just means I have to be even…

Try a Virgin Bloody Mary. Quite healthy and no alcohol. Usually comes with a stick of celery. If you DO want alcohol, a small glass of red wine.

5'3" Coming into Feb. I was 183 Feb. 8. 181 Goal for April 1 is 173 However, it is going to be tough. I must go back to the higher dosage of Cymbalta to relieve my chronic pain. I refuse to use this as an excuce, but rather see it as a further challenge to conquer. I am more determined than ever. I exercise M -F at the Sr…

I make Aztec Hot Chocolate. 1 T cocoa, 2 pkts of stevia, a couple of dashes of cayene and pour in the hot water.

My Wt Mgmt Dr at the University of Ky does both.

I'll take MFP friends. I am half wy to goal, and the lbs come off slowly now. Need motivationand support!

Be careful. Even body builders will tell you to only be in a state of ketosis for a few days at a time. When our bodies do not get enough carbs, we go into glucogenesis. One complication can be eventual kidney stones. Moderate amounts of carbs (high nutrition chouces) is a healthier option.

Drinking plenty of water daily is a healthy approach.

A bit of dark chocolate, a tablespoon of peanut butter or a prptein shake. OR I make Aztec hot chocolate: 1 T cocoa powder, 2 pkgs stevia, a few dashes of cayene pepper and boiling water to fill the mug. 5 calories. It's my survival food when I feel the urge to illegally snack.

I prefer to make my own salad dressings.

We had opposite biorythms, he had a very "male privilege" attitude, he would leave lights on all over my apt and I'm paying that bill, he could be rudely sarcastic, he'd pout when he did not get his way, and he announced he was going to SC with another woman ("WE ARE JUST OLD FROENDS") for the BassMasters nationals this…

Yup, brown rice is healthier.

I attended Ohio State for undergrad and grad school.

Thank you!

Pandas are actually closely related to raccoons. They are not in the same genus as bears. Koalas likewise are not bears. Brittanies are no longer spaniels. LoL. That spitting in public thing-- yeah, that's disgusting. Personally directed sarcasm and excessive use of foul esplatives annoy me. And itmakes me crazy when…

Thanks!

I am 62, disabled, and in April I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. It was past time to get healthy. I have lost 40 lbs since early July. This is my half way point. I am totally motivated! My wt mgmt dr at Univ of Ky suggested I use this app and it has really helped. I do individual and class exercise for free at Lexington's…

FA ULOUS!!! Don't you feel awesome? I so wish my daughter would get motivated to find a healthier way of living.

Congratulations! That is amazingly wonderful. I'll bet you feel GREAT!
