It was excellent on IMax!

@deepwoodslady sounds like a wonderful time to look forward to. As for the buffet, my trick is I allow myself one regular plate of whatever I like the best. No depriving other than no overloading. Just a concept to try, if it helps. <3

sorry for being so slow to respond to a few comments. Sis being here and then not, chewed up some of my mental energy. But i came out of her visit pretty much unscathed. anyhow…… @Deviette regarding state of dress for weighing, what is most important is that each of us do what supports us. so glad you have found what works…

@ldcritt Thank you for the invitation to the BLC challenge. That is wonderful that it is motivating and supportive. Right now, I am so scattered in life that I am happy if I remember to tie my shoes. :P Now something I could handle at the moment, but will remember the offer when/if I think I could be a team player. <3…

@iLive2Walk We did basic vanilla for a first try, and then topped it with mini M&M's. I did not have any. Long story on that. I am clearly a repeat offender with respect to dieting. I get to a weight I would want, get complacent and/or life happens, and it falls off my priority list. Trying to learn to not do that. I will…

I am assuming this is in reference to a particular flagged post. It is enlightening to see that MFP does actually respond to member notifications. Now if MFP could give us back the old post editor, I would be thrilled.

Years ago, I encountered a woman who did the appetizer bit, and I thought she was nuts at the time. Then somewhere along the way i found it works for me. Does that mean I never do an entree? No. But it gives me more flexibility with the menu. And yes a loaded burger sounds awesome.

@musicsax I thought it was simply a beverage. That does sounds lovely. Glad it was enjoyed!

@MTW70 I have a tendancy to repeat, but am much older than you, so have repeated many more times. :P One of my newer goals is to "return" at a lower start weight than my previous "return". That has started to narrow down those high and low swings. Hoping to eventually manage to maintain better, but it is my most…

No worries if weigh trend data is not a help to you. Given you posted a graph, I wrongly assumed it might be of interest. I don't personally use one, but I know others here do, and find it supportive. As for post size, I think the key thing is for each of us to share in the way that helps them best. My post sizes certainly…

@musicsax Should I ask what cream tea might be? @Skyleen75 @judefit1 One of the things I have learned over time is that it is easy to show up when things are going well, but it is so much important to show up when one is struggling and one is inclined to avoid. My history unfortunately reflects tendency, and it is…

Thanks! @RossC2025

@itladyee fantastic patio! @musicsax Itladyee is correct, look like round 302 should be July 10 - 19.

I will continue to be here, and thank you @musicsax for taking the reigns!

@musicsax Your photo is so perfect that it looks like a postcard! <3

Also, I was talking to DH on this topic while driving up to Maine last night, as 249 vs 250 had come up at the 4th of July party. DH pointed out that while the 250th anniversary of Independence Day is July 4, 2026, there were many revolutionary wars that led up to that day, and he was listing off those wars that happened…

@quiltingjaine I think european baking recipes are done by weight. Like you reported, I understand it is more accurate. When hubby and I make homemade salami, the salt is added by weight. Would you believe, different salts are more "salty" and that level of saltiness will correlate to its weight.
