Well said! Can I have your permission to print this and keep close to me? I truly love the meaning and it is so applicable to me and many others. Thanks :D

Hello survivor! I had my stroke 9 years ago at 41. Left me with some major deficits and serious weight gain. I still have issues with my right arm and hand but I'm here. This is a great place to be to get healthy and develop the good eating habits that you probably had before. Track what you eat and move - you will get…

Hi, I'm 6 ft tall. I've been on here for 50 days and have lost 15 pounds. Still want to get rid of 60 more. I'm going to friend request all of you!!! :D

Hi Samantha, I haven't been at this very long but I can say that in my first 21 days I've lost almost 8 pounds? My suggestion is to make a reasonable goal, log EVERYTHING (good and bad), and move. Doesn't matter how much you move or how you move, just move! Right now, I do the Wii dance, I'm sure it doesn't look pretty and…

Carol in NC - Poor Christmas the cat. I got a good laugh with this story but I doubt I could handle the other drama on a regular basis. Allison - I am on blood thinners and even though Tom is not he should see a Dr. It could be as simple as needing more vitamin K in his diet. Penny - Thanks for sharing the video. There is…

Hi everyone! This group is so active and supportive of each other and I have hit and miss the reading then run out of time to write something. I have not been able to keep up but look forward to getting to know everyone better! I have been focusing on eating better and drinking water. It is really hard for me to get the…

I went to a HS basketball game and did not buy the popcorn! That's a BIG deal for me...I love popcorn

Beth, Celery has been my go-to snack. Considering the circumstance, your son is lucky! My DH has a pressure issue. He has been in a chair since Dec 1987 and has only had this issue a few times but this has been the worst. It's not fun but we keep on keeping on. We are quite the pair. I have limited use of my right arm and…

GS Cookies go on sale at different times of the year and have different set prices depending on where you live. My area doesn't start until mid-February and goes through March. Some areas still take orders, we go door-to-door. I just placed my troop order today. I'm also am what is called a Cookie Cupboard and I will have…

Rosie & Allison, So sorry for your loss of your friends. Sylvia, gotta love those robocalls. Glad to get them before the day starts but they always make the day start anyway. Donna, what an adorable puppy. My 6 pounder doesn't care for the snow and cold...he's in & out quickly. Linda, 30 below...oh my hope you're walking…

Congrats to all the NSV's!!! You are all very inspirational! To bluenoser...use this time to rock the promotion and be supportive of your son. As for hubby, use his words as motivation NOT as an excuse. YOU MATTER!!!

here is the link for the 2017 challenge from before this group somehow managed to vanish. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vEu6tEEJRW7gtCZ52L8gRqTV3EB2OBHpKJHZ9N6mf9U/edit?pli=1#gid=0[/quote] I wanted to join but I guess I'm not smart enough to figure this out????

Hi everyone! I'm really enjoying this group and reading all about you all. Hopefully I will get to where I can feel comfortable enough to chime in. For now I'm just "stalking about". Sweet dreams & tomorrow is a new day! Denise IL where it's cold and snowing!

I forgot to tell you my name is Denise and I'm from Galva a very small town in western Illinois.

Hi everyone! I want to be here with all you creative motivated people. I just re-started 10 days ago. I too am doing the pitch, sort and clean...my house, my mind and my body. I am 50 years old and am in very bad physical condition. I had a stroke 9 years ago because of a heart defect I didn't know existed. I worked very…

WOW! I want you all as my friends...we can do this TOGETHER! Please, all of you friend me!!!! I'm needing to get rid of 60-75 pounds.

That's something I discovered today too! As a matter of fact, I'm having a glass right now.

I just started this week so my goal is to track my food and start exercising. Get familiar with the program and make some friends. If I can drop 4 pounds that would be a great BONUS!

You are AWESOME! I have right-side limitations from a stroke. I hope to be as dedicated.

Hi everyone! My name is Denise, I'm 50 years old and at 6 feet tall weigh 255 pounds. I am new AGAIN to MFP. I'm wanting to get rid of 60 pounds in a healthy way. I have some health issues and need the weight to go away. Our oldest daughter is getting married in October and I really want to look and FEEL better. Our other…
