I was here. Just not here, here.

Congratulations on being here and in such fine form on your birthday, Jim! You're a miracle man.

Here we go!

Well the funny thing is that even though I've followed the advice of not giving anything up for the rest of my life, there's a few things I haven't had in years. I didn't set out to intentionally limit these foods; it's just happened out of preference. Donuts and Chinese food are the two I'm thinking of, though there are…

Hey GOADies—one more day, eh?

It raises the issue of what is a healthy weight, a stable one above the traditional targets or one that hits target drifts up and gets worked down? I agree with a lot of what @steve0mania says. I think it's a moving target over time but for me for a long time, it was going in the right direction if it was less than my…

Sorry @linmueller , I missed my meeting last night too. There's a meeting every day (at least one) near my new house so I might pick up one of the other ones. Sounds like you're up to speed though.

Glad it went well, @gadgetgirlIL ! Hope you can enjoy your day off from the comfort of your own home!

We meet here to explore, share, celebrate and (sometimes) agonize over how we do (or don't) incorporate weight loss guidelines into our daily lives. "It's a lifestyle, not a diet" is easily and often said, but sometimes not so simply put into practice. This is a thread for everyone. If you're new to GoaD, or to weight…

Thank you, Jerry! @Jerdtrmndone !

GOAD Morning; hope all's well with all of you this "chilly" morning.

I gotta say...football bores the hell out of me. I hope it's a great afternoon for photography. Back in college, I would always go to the laundromat on that day--machines were wide open...

Another day folks; make it a good one!

I was hoping the same! Thanks for helping out though, @gadgetgirlIL ! Would really appreciate someone to take Fridays... Monday - imastar2 (Derrick) Tuesday - gadgetgirlIL (Regina) Wednesday - minimyzeme (Kim) Thursday - misterhub (Greg) Friday - Today's Topic:

However you got there, Regina, I hope you're safe and warm all day long!

I might not go to work. What if whichever car you take doesn't start after being left in the "extreme" cold for that amount of time? Safety is job #1, right, Regina?

The window's closing. Don't be bashful...

1.Health Challenges and Other Distractions: Are Health Challenges or Other Distractions difficult for you to handle as you continue on your Journey? No. My weight management IS my challenge or at the root of any other challenge. It's a lot easier to look it in the eye now than when I weighed another 80 pounds. I know being…

You da man, Greg. Will commit to at least one. Second will be bonus...

Heck yeah!

I feel like it's getting closer and closer, especially since I had two "events" tonight, first thinking I'd lost my phone and the second thinking I'd lost my wallet. Within an hour of each other! Pure panic both times. Found items both times. Old, forgetful or in need of help? Anyway, despite what my head may be doing, my…

Alright, we're on a good, consistent roll with a usual cast of characters. Any chance someone who's not a regular would join us? Thanks in advance.

Evening now, GOADies, but I've thought of you all day long. @linmueller , the sooner Jan is over, the happier I'll be. Same for Feb...

What do YOU consider "activity"? Formal exercise, as a bike ride, a run, at the gym? Informal exercise, as daily activities (doing the laundry, washing the floor? vacuuming, etc.) Do you track all, or some? As per our buddy Bob @podkey , I consider most anything activity. Mostly I consider things that require me to burn…

@Jimb376mfp and @linmueller --you are both awesome! Jim, I might be able to take some of those Girl Scout cook--oh forget it! B) !

Do you scan the upcoming week to consider when/where you might want to eat more and then try to determine when/where you can eat less to accommodate the heavier eating? Or do you just handle things day by day? On the flip side, do you look for opportunities to eat less even in the absence of "saving up" for something? A…

How do you ensure that you are staying active this Winter? Do you avail yourself of Winter type activites, slow things down until the thaw or ...? Well, Winter being what it is in the Northeast this year, there's enough snow to keep me busy with shoveling much of the time. However, when I can, I head up to the Lake Ontario…

What an encouraging thread! Good for you @Al_Howard --you're an inspiration to me, as are the rest of you C25Kers! I'm eager and apprehensive at the same time. I really want to do my training outside so am hoping for a more even-keeled start to Spring than last year. As my partner is facing knee replacement surgery, it…

And now, you're just "at it"--over the hurdle and on-the-track. Good for you, @linmueller !
