Oh really? A very tiny Sheri in OH

I hit my first goal - 10 lbs gone! :)

Thank you for the husband compliments. I actually met him on eHarmony when I was 50 in 2008. I escaped from my abusive marriage in 1997, and it took me that long to start dating again. Then of course I was scared to death and did everything I could to make Greg leave, but nope he was in it for the long haul. I am very…

He's the kind you rescue from the barrier at the edge of a bridge! Also we are rescue adopters. My beloved cat Bob (my goofy avatar) is a perfect case of "who rescued whom," he saved my life. My depression was getting scary, the cat I had since I escaped from domestic violence had died a couple months earlier, and I was on…

Fantastic!

My mother-in-law, 92, has dementia. She insists on living on her own at home, so we have a couple caregivers spend some time with her, and we have cameras all over her house as well as an emergency call button that she wears. Phone calls are always a bit frustrating because it takes just seconds for her to forget something…

I am very familiar with this. We had 5 at one time, now just these three. The original three (before my time here), my daughter's cat and the two I had before my husband rescued this one. I posted their pictures earlier. My husband is the kind of person who will stop in the middle of the street to help a box turtle cross…

Update: Here's a picture of a bobcat hybrid. Yikes!

Update: This is a picture of a bobcat hybrid. :o If I had an extra $69 I'd get my boy's DNA checked.

This is a kitten, yes a KITTEN, that my husband rescued off of a bridge several months ago (he was tiny). I'm certain he's actually a wildcat that found it's way to civilization. He is only 6 months old, nearly 9 lbs, huge paws, fat/solid tail, and purrs loudly when he bites one's hand. He's afraid of one of the current…

Here's another picture of this giant kitten of indeterminate breed. Solid/fat tail, huge paws, almost 9 lbs at 6 months old, purrs loudly when biting one's hand.

Fae The girls in the pic are from a Kiko buck and our Boer doe, which we don’t have any longer. We have had rescues, in a sense. We had a neighbor who was more focused on income, so whenever he had a kid that didn’t thrive right off the bat my husband would take it. He’s a take-a-spider-outside kind of person, so he would…

No, that's just the way they look. When they're pregnant their sides get round. I'm glad you liked them.

I was reading the MFP article "23 easy Ways to Cut up to 500 Calories," and this one made me laugh out loud: "Swap Bacon for Berries - Saves 100 calories" Now I love berries, and would happily have berries WITH my bacon, but if my brain wants bacon, berries ain't gonna cut it!

Dresses or skirts Since I moved to BFE it's all as casual as one can get. Jeans, leggings, t-shirts, etc. My fashion designer mother would be rolling in her grave. Do you get dressed if at home all day? Yes because it doesn't take much effort the way I do it. :D Superstition None Sheri in OH

I had a request on another board for pictures of my goats and cats, so while I was at it I thought I'd post them here as well. As requested - goats and cats (I haven't gotten the hang of resizing) We also have a variety of chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowl who wander over from next door. We live on 13 acres, mostly woods,…

As requested - goats and cats (I haven't gotten the hang of resizing) We also have a variety of chickens, turkeys, and guinea fowl who wander over from next door. We live on 13 acres, mostly woods, in southern OH (or BFE). If you watched Green Acres, then you'll understand why it took me a very long time to get used to…

@AnnPT77 Thanks for the tip! I'm from the time just after punch cards. I used to build and program PCs, and remember getting so excited when I could get a 20 MB hard drive. I hated Windows because I had no control like with MSdos, and now I'm at the point where I have to ask my daughter how to use my damn phone. :| I'll…

OMG yes! This is my problem as well.

I was trying to insert an image of my cat "forcing" me to sit on the couch instead of go for my morning walk, but I'm not having any success. Is there a size limit? A secret code? A limit to number of cat pics on the internet? I've resized it twice, and tried it with both the little camera icon and the picture icon (what's…

Whoops! If I would have read down a bit I would have seen the answer! That's so interesting, and looks great! Where did you find that class? Sheri in OH

I have so much trouble keeping up! I see people replying to several people at once, and am amazed that you can keep track of that. I really need the support, and am happy to provide support to others, but...Yikes! Sheri in OH

How do you know where you left off? I'm having so much trouble keeping up with this board and the 50+ board. Sheri in OH

I have such a difficult time keeping up with the message board! How do you know where you left off? What fitness trackers do you use? I don't want to wear one on my wrist, and I don't want to (really, it's "can't") remember to carry my phone around with me all day. I saw that FitBit Inspire can be put into a clip, has…

Thank you Katla. I tend to get so focused on doing everything "right." I'm trying to learn to let go of perfectionism and trust myself. Sheri in windy Southern Ohio

It seems to me that the simple fact of the virus should make it understandable! I certainly wouldn't feel hurt if a family member didn't want to get together because of that. ~Sheri in OH

I'm wondering if anyone uses a meal planning app or any other way of meal planning besides MFP? I'm getting frustrated because I feel like I'd like something where I can make sure I'm eating what I need to by food group, not macronutrients. Sheri OH

I'm relatively new as well, and have very similar feelings as you do. I saw another thread that suggested making mini goals, which I'm going to try to do. I'm trying to find ways to stop being so critical of myself. My doctor said to focus more on what I'm eating rather than how much I'm eating, and have some kind of…
