Barbie, thanks so much for sharing!

@Ann, thank you! I was hoping the MFP plan I've been working on this past year would have made a positive impact on the bones, but then again, if I hadn't been following the plan the results could have been even worse!

Thanks Steve! Hope you are doing well and had an enjoyable 4th.

@Gemini-My oncologist suggested Prolia, but it appears to be pretty pricey. I spoke with my PCP's triage nurse and she said they normally start out with Fosomax or Actenol. But it sounds like the pills did not work for you...ouch! I might just start out with the pills and wait and see if Medicare will cover more of the…

Health inquiry; any Osteoporosis patients that would care to share their experiences, medication, etc?

Today's the last day of my 12 day vacation and I thoroughly enjoyed the time off in spite of our current state of affairs. We did go to Myrtle Beach and had a great time, the weather was perfect. Saw dolphins and my grandson saw a jellyfish. Spent hours on the beach looking for shark teeth, my grandson found quite a few,…

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know this info was here either.

Thanks guys, appreciate your words of encouragement! New Mini Goal, 10lbs/BMI 19.5 by EOY. I use the "one item at a time" laundry tip too, although when hubby scratches his head, I just tap my fitbit watch and he's like, "oh....yeah...".

Hit original goal yesterday 70lbs! New mini goal 10lbs loss/BMI 19.5 by 12/31/20.

I'm pretty excited. I hit my original goal weight today. I started July 1, 2020 with a 18 month plan to lose 70lbs and hit it today, 3 months early. I expect it will waiver for the next week or so before it dips under & stays, but today is the day I hit it! I have revised my goal, but it will be at a much slower pace to…

@AnnPT77, this is what I'm looking for: TDEE estimate = ((pounds lost X 3500) + calories eaten) / days in time period Thank you!!

Hi there! I'm 62 also. I'm 5" and started at 180lbs a year ago. I exercise at home and my routine has increased from 20 minutes a day 3-4x weekly to 45 minutes a day 5-7x days a week. In the last couple of weeks I've added another 30 minutes at lunch maybe 2-3x weekly. I do have exercise equipment and here's my routine…

Hi! I'm thinking that if you have extra calories at the end of the day, there isn't any wrong choices as long as you stay within your limit. I've had a serving size of ice cream(count the grams!) and a kit kat stick for a late night snack and still remained at goal. Also, you can look at the week, 1 day you might go over,…

FYI...looking for a crayon version.

Good morning everyone, I have a question. What is a simple, accurate way to figure your TDEE without using a caliper to determine your body fat%?

Reward yourself with new clothes!

The stakeout didn't work, I checked every 15 minutes in the dark and nothing happened. After I gave up at 1am, the next morning it was empty. So, just bringing the feeder in everything night, as long as I remember to. Other than that, it's been in the 90s last week and no rain. We were supposed to get some remnants of…

Are you certain about the 1150 per day? I'm 62 and 5ft. I also home workout minimum 5x a week, 45 minutes a day. Calculator.net says at my current weight of 114 with moderate exercise 4-5x a week, maintenance is 1463, lose .5 weekly is 1,213. What did you use to get 1150 maintenance?

Well, I forgot to bring in the hummingbird feeder until 11:15 last night and it had already been drained which means the thirsty thief arrived between 9 and 11:15. I don't have a Ring so no camera to catch the culprit. I might have to do a stake out tonite and see what happens.

Good morning! @RetiredAndLovingIt- The feeder is back in its spot and the hummingbirds are happy. I brought it in last night. I'm suspecting my culprits could be bats because they don't bother the backyard feeders that have solar lights. @lindagalbreath577-I can very clearly remember my 40th, can't you? How is it possible…

Hi to All! I learned something today...for the last couple of weeks the hummingbird feeder I have outside my front window was being drained "bone dry" every night. Found out it's a real "thing"! Either Bats or Raccoons. I got 2 suggestions, move it or bring it in every evening. I think I'll go with bringing it in. I like…
