We have tinned but only green beans and corn from the Church. I was thinking maybe check local stores to see if I can get some deals on baby-cut carrots when I think I'm ready for that. One step at a time since this has been going on a good while. But I'd like other ideas... Tho yeah, if I can I might eventually act like…

This is one of my bugaboos. Me, I try to carry water with me when I go out in the afternoon for walks (Can't survive in this muggy GA heat without it) and try to either go out early or late. Also make sure you know the symptoms of heat stroke just in case. And yeah, if you MUST work out in the heat, keep going out and…

You guys prolly know I just started right? Before I started tracking, I'd annoy my sister and get out a tablespoon out of the drawer to keep track of the peanut butter; I never did heaping, I'd level it off with a finger. (She hate hate HATES washing that) Unlike most of you, I don't have a food scale. But..I DO HAVE A…

My mom was a (retired by kids) dietitian (So okay, she was a stay at home mom after that), so I kinda know something about this, since we had a big family and we never had a lot of money. Always keep a eye on reduced for quick sale, also if you clip coupons (only possible if you're not on food stamps), only get stuff you…

Again, I'll ask Jon to do that if it takes the other brother too long to do something about it. Said valve is not in the toilet actually, but near the floor, sticking out of the wall. That's why this is such a pain. There's a chance they might have to rip up that wall a bit, annoyingly enough. My sister, who has major…

I'll think about asking Jon (that's the older brother) to try that if it takes too long for the other brother to call the contractor. Tho I can understand Jon's attitude here. No one likes to try fixing a toilet when it erm, GETS you like that and you didn't expect it. I mean, it was SUPPOSED to be off, not act like…

Packer; when said fix involves possibly ripping up the wall...Um no. That's the problem. Didn't know if you saw the "my other brother tried, but the valve's busted, and when he tried to remove the guts, the toilet squirted him in the face." We still have the $15 in stuff he bought, so once the valve's fixed we should have…

Ping; I'll remember that tho yeah, I'll proly keep using the basement potteh once we get that contractor in to fix the bleeping valve. You can't fix a toilet when it squirts you in the face like that.

Kshama; We are all living together. Me and my sister pay the house note with SSI; the other two pay bills for their share; when my mom died we inherited Mom's house but it came with a mortgage. Said brother has major depression and I'd say HE needs to lose about 200 pounds, but I won't yell at him. He has to get his own…

Emmies; I don't have a wii, but I'll check and see if Wii Fit is compatible with the Wii U (My brother has that (the older one) and I don't think he'd mind if I went in his room to use it.) He also has a Wii he isn't using since he got the Wii U. A wii fit with balance board might be something to keep a eye out for when I…

Bzah, it's a old and VERY beat up LL Bean one (it's my old college backpack). Since it IS beat up I might think about getting a new one first; was going to anyway for something else. (Love LL Bean; I do try to save up for quality stuff b/c that saves me money in the long run) And that's what I'll do for now until I get my…

Cwolfman; at this point I don't have a fitness tracker that I can sync. A 3DS does not count, neither does Personal Trainer Walking! (Both track steps; with the 3DS, it tracks steps as long as you have it on your person, the Personal Trainer walking tracks when you have the sensor on you.). Neither are sync-able.) I'll…

That's a idea too kdp. Tho yeah, I'm dragging out a few old books I didn't sell back after I graduated and try carrying those on my walks once I get the goal of 6 times up and down our street. (Ironically, it's called Granny Lane..) Basically make it kick my butt more, even as I start walking to the nearby park. I'm hoping…

I think it's about 3-6 times a day, I'd have to keep track. Maybe not worth logging but any moving does count I think. Proly my walks count more; I've been doing 3 times up and down our little street; I'm hoping to up that to 6 and then to the park instead. ^^ Slow and easy since I've been sitting around on my bum for…

Thanks for the encouragement guys! BTW, if anyone wants my gamertags/XIV name, let me know; I have a PS4 and a PS3, and am on Steam. I'm also a Kingdom Hearts fan, if you wanna know. :) I just don't think here is the place to just put them outright. Just so you know, when I say food assistance, I mean I have no control…

I'd love to join you folks as well! Currently 297, goal is 190, let's do this.
