I'll aim for 160 for a start. Thanks for the advice.

Asclepsia: I haven't been active on this site for several years. When I weighed in at the doctor's office yesterday, the weight was 167.6--I did have sandals on, but they don't weigh much. So, I'll try reporting in for support in diet control, and daily exercise. Hoping to cheer on everyone else, as well.

@PackerFanInGB;c-43778878"]@asclepsia Hi! Good to see you this morning! Awesome news about your decreased cholesterol at your checkup! I've not heard of a pipe organ guild test. Pipe organ music is beautiful so I'll bet it was an incredible experience! Thanks for checking in. You've been missed! Thank you for your kind…

Hi all, I haven't been posting for several weeks now, but I still think of all of you, and wishing all of you well. Have been spending a goodly amount of time prepping for a pipe organ guild test in May--it's over now; not sure how well I did; parts of it were good, parts not so good. Regardless of the results, it was a…

@"clicketykeys;c-43637160"]The observation was today. My plans were not perfect. The observer did not accept my explanation. I cried in front of God and students and everyone. I am so sorry; you've had this observation on your mind for so long, and it hasn't worked out as well as you had hoped. As a retired teacher, I know…

@Bex953172;c-43631156" You have the opportunity here to get a real good sense of achievement! Doing the things you REALLY don't want to is hard, so when you do them you'll feel more proud of yourself that you did them!! From your list, pick the one thing that you don't want to do most, the one you'd avoid all day, the…

@HEGoddard0928; This might be way off track, but is there a chance it could be a parasitic infection? Last summer, I had one---not sure just how I got it--probably from cat-sitting--but it wipes you out; constant nausea, unable to keep any food down, and diarrhea, weakness. Once it was diagnosed and treated, recovery was…

@"toaljasa; It doesn't matter if I get slim and trim. I must get strong and stay strong. I must make exercise a part of my life, even when, especially when, I am 72 and beyond so that I will have the strength I need, as well as balance. Peace and joy. Such good advice! My neighbor, who is also in her 70's fell in her…

@snowflake1968 the job opportunity sounds interesting. Think you’re right to find out more rather than reject it out of hand. If it’s right then hopefully the transport situation can be sorted. Good luck with working the polling day- I imagine it will be exhausting! Well done for planning food ahead of time. X[/quote] I…

@"johicks;c- Do you use the MFP blog? I can't copy the link, but here is the title to one article: 4-Week Intro to HIIT Walking Plan. Thanks for the tip; I'll check it out. I have been walking every day for 20 minutes or more--last night I was out with friends, and didn't get my walk in, so I walked up and down my driveway…

@johicks; @asclepsia~ Good for you for getting in a 20+ walk/day. Are you in an area that you have some uphills you can walk? I’ve read that walking uphill a little increases the intensity. I try to walk uphill 1 or 2x/week. It hurts my knees, so can’t do it every day (YET!) Yes, my walk area has hills, and I vary the…

@"maryrobinson40; I'm not trying to bring anybody down, but this is to inform you that I will be MIA for a while. My brother passed. There were 8 of us total and I'm the youngest. 4 boys/4 girls, now it's 1 male, and 3 females. Now listen up!! I EXPECT GOOD THINGS WHILE I AM COMFORTING MY FAMILY. DROP THOSE NUMBERS! EAT…

@"Snowflake1968; Asclepsia - I am trying to do 1200 calories and find at that I’m struggling to lose sometimes. I think though that I need to start weighing and measuring my food more consistently and that will help me. Wow--1200 sounds like starvation! You've made a good point, though, to be more diligent in weighing and…

Keeping it simple: Stay in the green Exercise--20" Yard cleanup Organ practice-- Weight: 163.6: seems as if I've been stuck there forever! I discovered that 1800 calories, which has been my goal, is considered a maintenance diet for women--guessing that I'll need to bring it down to 1600 to see any results. Weather has…

@"clicketykeys;c-43513284" ALSO! My Ms. Marvel dress got here and it looks FABULOUS and *I* look fabulous IN IT! I don't have red leggings but I may have to get some. But I have some navy blue ones, plus a pair of lace-up combat style boots in yellow vinyl that look awesome with it. How about sharing a picture of you in…
