My waterfall is turned on for the season! <3 They finished building it in late October of last year, 2 days before a hard freeze, so the pump was pulled after only a day and the tank drained - winterizing. We have now passed our frost free date and today the last of my special order shrubs and prennials arrived. I'll be…

Yesterday I pushed the limits of my knees. Today I must take it easy, the knees have the controls for today. Something I discovered yesterday on myfitnesspal reports - supplements make a difference - they need to be logged also. I thought since they had no calories they had no impact. Well I discovered logging my calicum…

Lenora It makes my heart glad to hear there are still gentlemen being raised by their Mammas. I am ever hopeful that my 22 year old daughter will find one of these 'keepers' and bring him home. She is so focused on her work and classes for her Masters degree I don't think she even notices guys. She's smart, very polite and…

Joyce - I agree, these guys are a glowing credit to their Moms. My previous house was on acreage and it just about killed me with the upkeep, mowing was an all day chore. When I moved to CO I deliberately downsized and then added landscape stone. Now it takes me only 30 mins to mow front and back and the stone was placed…

I wasn't going to do too much today, but that plan rarely plays out. I managed to get the lawn mowed, the waterfall water tank cleaned out (yuck!! dead mouse floating in the water all winter!!) the water pump installed and yea! my rock waterfall is up and running for the season! 3 years ago I hired a small landscape…

Does the weather affect any one else's eating/cravings? Our weather changed again from the 80's back to the 40's with cold wet rain/sleet/hail/gusty winds. It has felt cold and dreary all day and we get to repeat it again tomorrow. When it feels like this I want to head to the kitchen for a hot tea and some comfort snacky…

Morning! Poerava14 - I live between Loveland and Fort Collins. It's a wonderful location and the folks here are so very friendly. Of course Colorado natives all seem to be uber fit so it's easy to spot us transplants. :p It looks like it may be safe to turn on the sprinkler system, we will be in the low 80's today and…

Not much new to say. I'm sticking to logging all my food and activity and have been pleasantly suprised to see that my sugar intake is much lower than I thought it would be. That is what I thought was my hidden devil (sugar) and could have been the reason I didn't lose weight. Nope...need to keep logging and counting and…

OK, we all know there is always one in every bunch, it was your day to find *that* looney to give you advice. Laugh it off, because you know a thing or two she obviously still needs to learn. Motion of any kind is a good thing. Motion that involves a commitment, like walking the dog, will keep you honest. Give pup a hug,…

Had a lively discussion with my daughter last even regarding metabolism rates. She was suprised that hers and mine were very close, yet she is reasonably fit and I...well let's not go there just yet. :* Lisa and CJ - You can see why I need to lose weight, it takes a lot of hours sitting in front of a machine to make one of…

Good Morning! My May goals are to lose some weight and get into an exercise routine. I am not one to weigh myself (never like the answer) but I use the pants fit method to decide if I have gained or lost weight. You know this one...the waistband on the jeans feel looser or tighter. :) I'm still trying to figure out the…

Hi! I'm new and just started my journey this week. I'm a 64 yr old retired lady who loves to quilt. My goal is to lose 60 lbs. Many years behind a desk in a stressful job packed on the pounds. I've decided to do something to put me in a good place again. I found MFP and started recording my food and activity to see what…

New to all of this but there is concentrated power in being a tad on the short side. :-) Please add me, I'm 5' 1" and hope to lose 60 lbs so I'm in for the long haul. (Charleen2)
