Sorry I haven't written in awhile. Things are going great. Christmas preparations are coming along. I donated blood last Friday and I think that's why I'm feeling colder than usual. Oh well, I just don't venture far from the woodstove. Haha Shirley from Northern NY

I thoroughly enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at my son and daughter in law's yesterday. I will be cutting back and being more careful the rest of the week into next. It was so worth it though. My old high school played in the state football championship today. I watched it on tv. They got blown out so it's just as well that I…

My DH had a hip replacement a few years ago and his orthopedic surgeon has him take antibiotics before having a dental cleaning every six months. Makes me nervous to think about the germs getting resistant to it but hopefully the surgeon knows best. It's been a great couple of weeks. I'm down to my goal weight again and…

This morning I had my semi-annual eye doctor appointment, at least the testing part of it. I see the doctor in a couple weeks. I hate that visual field test with a passion. The machine grunts and moans and gives you a couple of flashes and the tech has to come in and adjust it. The results will probably tell them I'm…

I've been on maintenance for a few years now and I have noticed my weight creeping back up. I discovered a neat thing to do in mfp regarding entering food. I used to think I could only consume a full serving of whatever I was eating. I'll use peanut butter for example. A serving is 32 grams. You can change it to 1 gram and…

First snow fall of the season and now it's 17 degrees. I did my daily walk even so. Spent the afternoon/evening feeding wood into the stove. It's so cozy and peaceful. Shirley from Northern NY

Big victory yesterday. I made cookies without eating any of the dough. I'm currently stuck at four pounds over my goal. Maintenance is hard! Shirley

Watched the grandson last night as usual. He was really wound up. When he wasn't bouncing up and down he was running around the living room. I was constantly guarding the corners of end tables to keep him from having a very nasty accident. Fortunately we all survived. Shirley

Our community has slowly been recovering after the heavy rain and wind of Thursday night and Friday. My daughter has been without power since early Friday morning. She came over to our house this morning to wash her hair. We didn't lose power. Hers just came back on late today. Shirley

Wow, it's like Fall blew out and Winter blew in. It's 36 degrees and the wind is howling. I'm debating taking my usual walk. I might get blown away. We only had 8 trick or treaters last night instead of our usual 60 or 70. Shirley

My big accomplishment this afternoon was to wrangle my cat and cut his toenails. What a job. He fights it all the way but it has to be done. Otherwise he snags every soft surface he walks on. Shirley

What is it that isn't working on mfp? I must not be accessing it the same as you all. I mostly use my android phone and a rare little bit on my lap top. Weather here has been unseasonably warm. Went for a walk yesterday without a jacket. We're going to pay for it tomorrow and Friday. Heavy rain and wind is what they are…

Amber!!! I thought my 2 year old grandson was busy. Wow!!

Watched the two-year-old grandson last night while mommy went to her hockey practice. It was just a couple of hours but he was especially busy. Also he is in the midst of potty training so.... Shirley

Hi, My name is Shirley and I'm in northern New York state. Today we helped our son and daughter-in-law move into their just purchased home. We have an open trailer and pick up truck so we were able to move the larger furniture. I got a good workout toting stuff up and down stairs. Ended up they couldn't get the queen size…

I have just started exploring the community section of mfp. I've been posting my food for three years. I'm excited because my son and his wife closed on their first house today.

I'm 63 and I'm at my lowest weight....ever! I'm lovin life. I'm retired so I can get out and walk whenever I want.

I'm 63 and drive my own motorcycle!

I eat oatmeal every morning. I have been using a half cup measure for my serving but in reading the nutrition info it says that a serving is a half cup and 40 grams in parentheses. I measured my half cup serving on a scale and it comes to 50 grams. Have I been eating way too much all this time?

I didn't really have a goal. I just kept gradually losing and was feeling great. I donate blood every eight weeks and I read somewhere that you can't give if you weight less than 110 so I said to myself, "There is my goal weight!" I have maintained that within a couple of pounds since January.

I'm 5'1" and I'm at my goal of 115. Still nailing down calorie amounts to maintain.
