  • my current NSV is telling someone that I have a child who will be 35 this year and the look on their face when I told them I was 53. I've lost 100lbs and it's made me look and feel younger than 53.
  • @takinitalloff it is coming along. I'm starting at the floor and working my way up. that way I can use the room even if the rest isn't finished. I'm going to lay the spongy tiles so it's floor work friendly. the dogs have all the distraction items. They will stop everything they are doing to see what I'm doing. I have a…

  • Hello. My (sorta) mini goal is to finish the spare bedroom that became a catch all so that I have a dog free zone to work out. With my work schedule the gym is hard to get to during the week and the dogs think something is wrong when I'm doing floor work and then I don't get anything done. lol
  • I just started logging again after 1 year and have logged 10 days in a row.
  • Have started and stopped using MFP a few times and I'm at a place where I'm ready to stick to it. Would love new friends to help me stay motivated and that I can help keep positive and motivated as well! Feel free to add me!
