No typo. Welcome to free public health care!

Absolutely! My actual motto is "Fake it 'til you make it!!"

I don't know how far back any of you have read on this thread, but on page 21, on the first of November, Dianne (@dogwalker157) and I reintroduced ourselves to start the new month off on a positive note, hoping maybe to entice some more people to join in. So even if you read from there, you will be caught up on what is…

@murdog3t Thanks, Tami! My slightly torn meniscus, my lack of physical fitness at the moment, my weight and the fact that the floors under the tile would be cement as it is a fertilizer plant, all conspire to make my legs ache after a prolonged time in the office. I wear good running shoes and stand on an anti-fatigue mat…

@ddainiak I suppose using half of your exercise calories makes sense for you as you get ~20K steps a day, right? That would be a lot of extra food to eat! I know on some of my more active days, I have many calories left on the table because it is time for bed; just couldn't eat that much!

@zukppi75 Definitely better to eat something healthy and go slightly over than to eat "junk" food and go way over! Sometimes if I have a few days in a row that I have left maybe too many calories on the table, I will reach a point like you did where I am just hungry and I need to eat more. You could try saving some more of…

@ManifestingToday I am curious as to how you want to use the step count information? Is it just so you know how active you have actually been or is it for more calories to work with? I use a Fitbit and it is a game changer for me. My lifestyle is sedentary. So, MFP gives me 1,200 calories to work with. Personally, I cannot…

Congratulations on being the biggest loser and for losing those five pounds!! Sure, mostly water, but that's the way it is for everyone! May it motivate you to see another loss on the scales this week!

@kholl25 I absolutely agree with Joan. We have it in our heads that after menopause, we are fighting an uphill battle. However, there are many on MFP who have successfully lost their weight after menopause. Start with entering all your information and then go from there. If, after three or four weeks, you don't see any…

Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was a good day. I finished up putting the new file folders in the cabinets at work and I got caught up on the filing, now that the invoices had a place to go! To finish up completely, I just need to make more permanent labels for the drawers themselves and the boxes full of 2022 files. Right now…

Hi, I am Lisa. I am 57 years old, 5'5" tall and I live in Tillsonburg, Ontario. I am married with two grown sons. It's time to get this weight off for good! My first goal is Onederland....again :( 30: 207.8, 31: 205.8, 1: 205.2, 2: 206.0, 3: 207.2, 4: 205.2, 5: 205.8, 6: 203.8, 7: 203.6, 8: 204.8, 9: 203.8, 10: 203.4 11:…

@GenXMissusSpags Good luck on your weigh-in! Are you doing a weight loss challenge at work or is it for something else?

The weather, for November, has been so nice. We went for a walk on both Saturday and Sunday. Still logging my food, still staying under and still watching the ounces fall away each morning on the scales! I will go to work today to finish up the new file folders for the new fiscal year. Have a great Monday, everyone!

@DaffyGirl88 Well, the Raiders are on a two game winning streak under their new coach, so we have to watch! Granted, they were not playing strong teams (sorry, New York), but a win is a win!! My husband is actually going to Vegas for a boys' weekend to watch a Golden Knights game and a Raiders game in a couple of weeks.…

@ddainiak The difference is so noticeable!! You must feel amazing when you look at these!

Well done! Rinse and repeat....you got this!

@joandumas42 Good job realizing you can't have wine in the house, at least not right now, when you are trying to lose weight. If we can learn from our setbacks, then they actually serve us well!

@jm216 Your trick or treaters let you down if you still have leftover candy! @zukppi75 Way to navigate the chaotic family visit yesterday with no real damage! @ManifestingToday Way to add some fun dance moves to your fitness routine. If it's fun, you'll keep doing it!! @stormywxs288 Very interesting about your other health…

@DaffyGirl88 Sounds like you had a good day of shopping, minus the lack of caffeine! No grandchildren for me yet....need to get them married first! Have a great weekend!

Thanks, Darlene! It's easy to be the biggest loser when it is your first week of starting again. Four pounds give or take of mostly water that first week will do it!

@DaffyGirl88 Whoo hoo!! Well done today! All that walking (and costume making) is paying off!!

Hi, Joan. Welcome. "Everyone" is two, maybe three of us, at most. I am so sorry that you lost your husband. It would be so easy to put on weight after that as you wouldn't really be paying attention. But you are right; consistent, accurate logging works. Try saving some calorie room in the evening for a snack that will…

We went out to dinner for my mother-in-law's birthday. I pre-planned what I was going to eat and made sure it fit into my calories. I even passed up the chocolate brownie that everyone was having for dessert. I got questioned by my brother-in-law for passing up on chocolate. I just said no, I don't want any. I said no to…
