If you like detective movies, I highly recommend Bosch on Netflix. It’s well written and the characters are great too.

Good morning MPF A-Team from Southern California! I finished my coffee and plan to go on a walk/hike later on. The weather has been running rather warm, hot! In any case, I plan to bring my sombrero and a bottled water. Wishing you all a great Monday!

Special News to Share. Last Wednesday, June 9th, my husband and I hiked and summited Half Dome in Yosemite😃! Thanks to the MPF team, I was able to lose 17 pounds while training for this grueling hike. I still can’t believe I did it. I am 56 years old and my husband is 57. He’s an avid runner, I am not. The MPF community…

It’s called being human. Happens to the best of Us, and I mean all of us.😉. Keep going and do your thing👍🏽

You’ve already taking the first step. All you need do is continue going forward, step by step. You Own This💪🏾

Best of luck with your training and your tremendous marathons run!💪🏾

Having some lunch after wrapping up a good hike with the hubby.

Artichokes! Picked up a bag at Costco and have been serving them with dinner. Made a dip to go with it. So good!

JamesBlack74- you took the first step, the rest will follow... one step at a time. Hang in there!

My baby is 20. LOL. Here is to losing that baby weight! We can do this!

Last night we finished watching The Pianist. A fine movie but hard to watch.

Terrific feedback! All good listening suggestions. My go-tos are... *The Moth, storytelling *Conan Needs a Friend, comedy mayhem *Marc Maron, highs and lows and everything in between kind of talking sessions. *Selected Shorts, stories read aloud by actors. There you have it👍🏽

Anyone seen Nomanland? We saw The Sound of Metal. That’s a great movie! Definitely recommend that one. Don’t forget the poppy 🍿

I hear you and can relate. Here’s to getting back there 👍🏽

Resting my barking feet. Finished a billy goat hike.

Getting ready to start in on a billy goat hike with my husband. Having my oaties and a cup of coffee for fortification 😂. Funny word... fortification. 👍🏽 Whatever you decide to do, take it by the horns 😉

Still trying to figure my way around the app. Techy challenged lol. For now, the nutritional breakdown and caloric guidelines are super helpful. Am counting calories and being more mindful about what I eat. I’m the main cook for my family and I need to learn how to balance my nutritional needs with that of my families.…

Making dinner: braised beef shanks. Ugh... there goes the calorie count?!? But making a big salad with beets to go with it.

This is what happened while on my hike. Came across two pet bunnies being walked on leashes and wild artichoke growing along the path. Nice!

What's the exercise plan for today? I’m going for a hike with my husband. Sun is out, perfect day to hit the trails! However you decide to move, have fun doing it.

Watching Metal, the one about the musician who loses his hearing.

I made Polish pancakes out of potato, onion and a couple of other ingredients. First time making them. They’re kind of like latkes, eaten with apple sauce or sour cream. I used yogurt instead. They were tasty.

Stopped going to the gym when the pandemic hit. I’ve taken to hiking and walking. My hubby gifted me a pair of 10 lb. weights for Christmas. Just need to be consistent with the weights. Good luck to all on their weight loss journey

Gosh... we saw a Minari a couple of days ago. Reminds me of a modern day version of The Grapes of Wrath American story. Trying to make it in America.

I’d like a real waistline. Ugh... also in training for a beast of a hike in June. We ll share whee I cross that proverbial finish line. Good luck to everyone on reaching their goals!

Stretching. Tweaked my inner knees muscles.

Oh boy! I tweaked my inner thigh knee area. Trying to stretch it out. My hips are tight, need to work on flexibility. Anyone out there who can relate?

Hi All! I’m 56 and tired of being a chubby girl. So looking forward to loosing weight with you. Turns out going down this journey is easier when in the company of others who understand the struggle. Sign me up!

Hi A Team, I’m a newbie and still learning how to use this format. Evelyn- I think it’s great that you’re young and already thinking about your health and well being. Best of luck with college! Springlering62- thanks for the thread info! I will look into it. AnnPT77- I hope to get inspired and motivated. I hear this is a…

Went for a walk with a friend and came across some beautiful roses. You guessed it, I stopped to smell the 🌹! 😊
