Crazy weather here in Va. warm a few days then chilly and wet. Plants are getting confused.

Evamutt my condolences also. They are such a blessing but I think that when our pets pass that will be it for us, it’s too sad and hard to say goodbye to them. Hang in there.

Hello everyone I am still around and keeping up reading everyones post everyday just have been staying busy at home and trying to clean out my basement and make more room for the weight room. I have a pretty decent home gym actually but have let it get cluttered after surgery and from previously just going to a gym but I…

Thats great Rob!! Keep it up. I haven’t really been trying myself but haven’t gained any back at least but that has inspired me to work on it better.

Theres a group called 60 years and up

If anyone would like to keep this group going please reply. I will be glad to share what my diet has consisted of. Following the recommended calories mfp allows isn’t that hard to do, I think people think they have to go way under and thats not necessary.

Thats no where near enough calories. I have been following the recommended calorie allowance from mfp for a little over a month and have lost 10 pounds and have actually only done well about 65% of the time. If I would quit eating at night and behave I would probably be 15 lbs down or more but for someone your weight 1000…

Great job!!!

Thank you Barbie! I’m not too savvy on phones or computers just never really became interested enough to advance in the skills.

I wish this had spell check and I had better vision.

alteredsteve thats called the russell fork its actually where the water comes out flannagan resevoir below the spillway. It goes thru the Breaks Gorge into the Big Sandy in Ky. I live about 5 mi utes from the lake. Its a perfect place to walk and spend time.

Beautiful day in SWVA

Hey everyone, I just had lunch too lynnchristy I made some basmati rice with several ingredients, carrots, chicken, onions, red, yellow and orange peppers, mushrooms, and egg. I use a little olive oil and at the last a little sesame oil for flavor. I hope everone has a good weekend getting ready for a walk here. I’ve lost…

Just checking in, it’s a nice sunny day in SW VA. and so a walk will be in order. I have been busy the last few days and actually got warnings two days in a row from MFP to eat more. Since Feb.4 I’ve lost 7.8 lbs. i would still like to lose 30 more which would put me at 170 so any encouraging words are appreciated. I still…

P.S. My mother who is 93 told me the other day that sunshine can sometimes dictate your mood and she was sure right. We’ve had a long streak of dreary days and It’s shining today in SW Va today! No negativity today!

Getting ready to walk 4 miles at the lake that I love. I hope everyone has had a good and blessed weekend. Hearing all the input from everyone and their experiences helps inspire me as I can relate in some sort of way in my life experiences to most of you. I appreciate this group and hope everyone stays positive and…

Feeling a little more secure today after good blood test results yesterday. Thats all I got to say!

n2gardens56 I live in SW Va. but I am about 4 hrs from Roanoke near the Ky line, about 1hr 15 min. from Bristol. I enjoy reading everyone’s tips and experiences. I have similar struggles than a lot of the members in this group does as far as in reference to diet. I think I have this deceiving voice in my head telling me…

A 27 degree walk sure can wake a person up. Off to Knoxville now for a basketball game.

Thank you alteredsteve175 I do have some very good Bone Dry raingear so I may just throw it on if its raining. I don’t care how cold it is but rain just ain’t my “thang”. Worked out in it too many years lol.

I think the weather is going to be bad for about a week here in my neck of the woods so I guess its weightlifting for a while. I feel very fortunate to have a beautiful lake to walk at just two miles from home and the route I take is a 4 mile round trip. On a busy day there may be 15 cars go by . Lately to burn more…

For me it’s a mental challenge for sure. I can’t seem to muster up the determination I once had.
