Do any of you use the Happy Scale app? It gives the average. You can go into settings & disable the up/down arrrows it gives after each weigh in. I'm in maintenance & gave myself an 8lb range

I did go to the gym on Friday & was planning to continue but I didn't put a "have to" on it...I've always swam about 20min in the pool after workout & felt I have to keep doing that so I went in with the "I'll do what I want & maybe something different" & liked it, however...Saturday evening my R heel started to hurt. By…

I'm so glad that there was some discussion on maintaining weight, after all it is the end goal & hardly anyone talks about it. Many people I've come across don't know what to do when they reach their goals so this was good. I guess maintenance isn't that exciting...just eating a little more of the same as before but I know…

Thank you for your replies, I will try those. forgot to mention the only way it's tender for me is pounding it thin, breading & frying it, but was hoping for non fry. I'll try yours too @acpgee & didn't know that about garlic

for those of you who cook chicken breast...how do you get them tender? I've cooked them several ways & about ready to give up on them

Hello airport friends/travelers Just wanted to check in . Nothing much is going on anymore. Our youngest son moved into their former house having sold their house near us & will be looking to buy a bigger house with 1-2 acres in the winter. Haven't found the right one in the past year. We kept their Golden doodle dog at…

Hello & welcome @history_grrrl I started mfp when I was 62, can't believe I'm 69 now, the years just flew by. I actually didn't have any problem losing about 1 lb/week. I've gone to the gym for 30yrs but did up my exercise by doing some classes there too. I lost 50 lbs & decided to stop there because I didn't think it…

Good afternoon, It's already afternoon? The mornings go by fast. Walked 3 miles this morning with the dogs & just finished lunch. Can't seem to eat before 1-2 lately. I do IF from 11-7 but get so busy in the mornings being out, don't get home till noon. No special plans for weekend, our grand dog is scheduled to go home on…

I would love to do that. I like using the rowing machine & like being on the water

@marci320 , wow, great job!! I bet everything is easier without all the stress

@LolaGatto , glad you found this group. I too was very discouraged 1.5yrs ago when, after an injury couldn't exercise at all & gained back 18 of the 50lbs I lost. This was in 2020 & I did maintain the new weight till 1.5yrs ago & never thought I'd lose it & accepted it but I stated listening to a podcast & it encouraged me…

It looks so peaceful & relaxing

@GinLee61 what a view, I love green forests, rolling hills etc. so glad you got to go. I've not been there

Good Afternoon everyone I've been pretty busy all week & today I'm tired so will take it easy this afternoon. We are eating leftovers so I'm just going to make a veggie salad to go with it. My dinner came out really good. A woman in my neighborhood has a table in her front yard & puts all the extra produce she grows for…

Good afternoon everyone Had a busy day so far...went for walk, then took our foster dog who we are adopting to vet to get spayed. Will be picking her up after 5. I took 2 of my dogs with me, the ones that have membership to the dog park with the pool so we can stop on the way home to play, worked out with home video today…

Good afternoon travelers One of my new favorite quotes is:"finding peace by not paying attention to all of my thoughts" by Heather Robertson I'm always fighting my thoughts & the most troublesome lately is that I'm getting too old to workout. It sounds so silly saying it out loud but I've always worried about getting…

We have enough $ to live on & are very fortunate that our kids will help us out with anything that comes up & we can't afford. Our house is paid off & only payment is our car we bought 3 years ago so I don't HAVE to work. With the small amount of hours I make under $100 a month, it does help. I just always felt responsible…

I don't think I mentioned this, @GinLee61 reminded me...the last 20lbs took me over a year to lose. I lost 1+ lb a month but I lost it when I didn't think I could because mfp gave me 1200 cal/day to keep losing at the weight I was at & I wasn't willing to eat that low so I'm happy. Time passes whether we lose or not,…

Good afternoon everyone, @Kurtize , how is your daughter doing? All of our 4 grown kids & their kids have had covid more than once. Our older car had that check engine light on for months while my retired mechanic husband did research & tried many things to fix the problem, it ended up that a hose had a leak in it. What…

Good afternoon, just wanted to check in. I took my client to her podiatry appointment this morning & it was too early for me to eat before I left so I had a ham & swiss croissant at the Starbucks she usually likes to stop at on the way home. There's a shop next to it called The Meat Up where they sell smoked meats & she…

Good afternoon airport friends, just wanted to check in. I've never met professional clowns, it must be so fun & work too. I'm mostly retired & am down to working only on Wednesdays. Today I took my client to her podiatry appointment & as usual, she wanted to stop at Starbucks on her way home. There's a shop called The…

I have this almost every day because I can change the flavor to anything I like: 0% plain greek yogurt, I have about 130-170 grams, mix with 2-4 Tbl of cool whip then add whatever flavor you want. 2 of my favorites are packet of hot cocoa mix or Welches strawberry fruit spread, that one has a strong strawberry flavor &…

Happy Sunday fellow travelers @mkksemail wish you well on your procedure & let us know how the prep went today. My husband is scheduled for one next month. I've been cleared for regular activity by my eye surgeon last Friday, so I've been doing some cardio, not as much as before as I'm just starting back & swimming. I love…
