  • Hi, Ladies, I just want to let you know that I'm discontinuing my membership with Fitness Pal - I had a 30 day trial period I really appreciate the sense of community, the different challenges, the tracking, etc, but my problem is I just don't use it regularly. The good news is that I'm leaving having lost 3 pounds. I wish…

  • Yes, your trip sounds just delightful and I will enjoy traveling it vicariously through you. 1 month can pass slow when waiting for a mammogram! Georgetown weather is much cooler than I'm used to, and I love it! No heater going and it was a two blanket night last night. I went to the grocery store this morning and talked…

  • I'm going to make it a point to try this (belly dancing), too, in the next couple of days…sounds fun.

  • Reading about the owls that you both have seen sounds so lovely. It always seems a little magical to me, I've never seen a snowy owl-what a treat. I used to work in the oil and gas industry and I thoroughly enjoyed it; I was a revenue accountant. Good news about my mammogram - there is nothing concerning although it took…

  • It looks like you have a good camera - it really captured the clouds. It's very pretty. We have many lakes in OK, I am within a 45 minute drive of 3, and an hour and 15 minutes from a fourth and 5th. We also have a nice river walk. I have enjoyed working again and I would really like it if it was part-time. This company…

  • It was good to catch up with what you guys have been doing. Joy, I hope to have your discipline in the future. For now, I'm just trying to stay communicating because it seems when I'm not losing weight I pull out of being connected. I gained 3 pounds from holiday eating and then lost it in 2 days so it was just salt and…

  • @lynn_w Yes! I would definitely think that working a 4 hour shift would cause weight loss. I've found that when I have a strong hike or bike ride, I retain water and actually weigh more. I read that it could be swollen muscles or a bit of dehydration. Hopefully you will see a drop soon. @plantpowered @age_is_just_a_number…

  • It sounds like we are all getting a lot of rain! It poured and poured until about noon here, and then the sun came out and it was a lovely day. Will Rogers had a famous saying "If you don't like the rain in Oklahoma, wait a minute, it will change". That is so true! I rode my electric bike down a trail that I had ridden…

  • I just found an online course with Daily Om that involves tapping to help with emotional weight loss. I'm at the beginning, but even after one session I felt like it was something that would help me. It was inexpensive.

  • I'm like you, James and am looking for something that will really fill me up and not break the bank, calorie wise. I am a big fan of popcorn, and Trader Joe's has individual yogurt pretzel bags that are good for my sweet tooth. Now that watermelon and cantaloupe are in season, I use them to fill up with low calories. I'm…

It sounds like you will enjoy it. Rick Steve's book sounds very interesting as well. I love to read and am hooked on Nordic mysteries. I…

  • Logging made a real difference yesterday. I was going to eat some cashews late night and I kept thinking about the fact that I would have to log it and I was already 39 calories over my daily target. I discussed the option with myself for probably an hour(!) and I know that if I wasn't logging I would have had the nuts. I…

I will definitely get back to doing that. I have joined a couple of challenges to keep me coming to the site daily and will incorporate that tool. As…

This may sound crazy, but I was on ADD medication for a short time and quit because I didn't like the way I felt, however, it was helpful in showing me a path to get…
