:flowerforyou: Hi all....Happy New Year! Back from a 5 week visit in NC with my family. I gained 7 pounds so must work hard to get back to where I was before all the food and special coffees from Starbucks. I missed MFP and all you special ladies! Group HUG!!!

Just over an average two year old lost so far, on the way to a small bale of hay! Have a terrific week everyone:bigsmile:

Prayers coming your way.

My goal is to try to drink more than 8 glasses of water every day, and keep up my exercise minutes. Good luck everyone!!

Dear Laura...I know God is with you and your Mom. You are a lovely daughter.

Laura....You are absolutely beautiful!!!:smile:

Hello everyone, and WELCOME September! I'm so glad it's not August any longer. Personally, I've never been a big fan of August. It lacks the fresh promise of June, the spicy sweetness of July and the glorious hint of "decadence to come" of September. :smokin: I always feel like I live in slow motion from Aug.1-31...then…

A quick post to wish everyone a safe, happy and successful week-end:drinker: :bigsmile:

Don't be too hard on yourself!! Think of it this way...you probably tend to worry too much anyway...take a deep breath and try this mfp program. It works! I've lost 27 pounds since mid February. Slowly and steadily, and I've never felt healthier. 21 more pounds and I'll reach goal, and a healthy BMI. Worked up fom 45 min.…

Hey all! I was just about to launch into a major whine here:sad: when I read your post, Barb(weaklink) and decided I don't really deserve one! I feel so sorry for your friend with the double loss of both someone she cared about, AND income! I pray she finds another client to take up the slack. Amanda and Donna...I really…

Once upon a time, I would buy a box of chocolates and eat the whole box in one evening.It was sooo good:devil: Suzyq.....How great that your son called you.…

Hello! I just got off the skype program after the sweetest visit with my daughter-in-law and 2 yr. ol grandson. OMG! He is so adorable! Still doesn't quite get it that we can't touch each other, so he still offers to let me hold his toys. Today he tried to hand me his Buzz Lightyear backpack:bigsmile: He counted for me,…

Hi all! First I want to say that I think I read all(or most) of the posts and was happy to see that despite day to day schedules and some set backs, for the most part our "gang" is doing well:smile: with a couple of exceptions. tcac(Linda): I can see that you're having a tough time right now. My heart goes out to you, and…

I think 1200 calories a day as a baseline is realistic. Exercising to earn more calories is a great idea, because exercise is such an important part of overall fitness. My philosophy is I can go over 1200 a day as long as I put in the exercise!:bigsmile: It's a win/win situation. I've lost 25 pounds since Feb. and never…

Hello everyone! I read the posts every and feel like I know all of you.

Hi all!! Well, I blew it today...over by 231 calories. I ate half a Hershey's dark Chocolate bar plus had a slice of apple crumble at dinner.I'm really disappointed in myself:sad: I've promised myself I'll make up for it tomorrow:angry: I see now how easy it can be to lose the motivation.:grumble: I knew what I was doing…

Let's see...how can I celebrate Canada Day????? I know, I'll have a Maple Leaf salad.:noway: Anyway, HAPPY CANADA DAY:bigsmile: I fell short on my June goals. Was .5 lb away from the 5 I wanted to lose...close, but no cigar! Also didn't do very well with water intake. For July I plan to lose 5.5 pounds and drink, drink…

Hi Rebel: I just read your post and maybe you could go to the Mayo Clinic site and investigate alternative diets. It's very interesting and you might find it helpful.:smile: Ainslieglen

Happy Sunday... I just called my 2nd ex to wish him a Happy Fathers Day. He's the Dad of my younger son ( the one who lives in Mexico), and of course step-dad of the older three kids. Because they were only 8,7 and 5 when we were married, they have had no trouble in identifying with him as a Dad figure.:smile: Their Father…

Faye: Not being able to drive any longer was one of my big considerations. When I had to give up driving, it was a huge loss.:angry: What the root of the problem I experienced turned out to be is a seizure disorder and it affects balance, depth perception etc. plus the risk of triggring a seizure.:sad: They're under…
