Not much planned for today. Since it is Sunday, it is my busier day. I know it is supposed to be a day of rest, but I go to Mass on Saturday afternoon, so that is my day "off". Oddly enough, though, I only do laundry and watering my indoor plants on Sundays, and both these activities are really restful for me, so I enjoy…

I completely forgot to post yesterday, so the above is catching up for Friday and Saturday. JFT log all food stay below 1,200 calories walk for 20 mins 2x be down to at least 151.9 drink at 32 oz water Wish me luck!!

I don't have much planned for today, but thank God, the humidity has finally dropped way down for a day or so, I might even be able to get some edging and weeding done in my garden (no veggies, just flowers). I went shopping yesterday, so that is done for the week, unless I forgot something. I probably did, but I got most…

Not much planned for today. I went shopping yesterday, so that is done for the week. If the weather holds up, I may try to work in the garden some, since the humidity has dropped WAY down! I desperately need to get some trimming done and some weeding. Other than that, nothing planned or even thought of!!!

JFT Log all food. stay below 1,200 cal. walk for 15 mins 2x. be down to at least 152.2 lbs. drink at least 32 oz water. I'll see how things go today.

JFT I will Log all food. Stay below 1,200 calories. Walk for 15 mins 2x. Be down to at least 152.2 lbs. Drink at least 32 oz of water. I did fairly well yesterday. I did drink all the water I had planned, I did the walking, I lost 1.3 lbs., down to 152.4. However, I did go over the calories a bit - I had 1,220, instead of…

Hopefully, today I will - Log all food - no problem, I usually do. 7:30 pm, so far so good Stay below 1,200 cal - I do sometimes go over a little bit (between 2-15 cal). 7:30 pm don't know yet Walk for 15 mins twice - an increase of 5 mins and one more session (I had only been doing one 10 min session per day). 7:30pm…

Thank you both for your welcome. I will join in from now on. jonni82014, I hope you enjoy Holland and Germany. I was born in Holland, during the last year of the Nazi occupation, but we left there for good when I was 6 and moved to Australia. Then within a year of coming here (1970), my ex was transferred to Germany for…

Good morning, Ladies. I just re-joined MFP yesterday, and this morning found this thread. It started out as someone inquiring about over 70's groups. I have just turned 80, so I was interested, and realized this thread had become just a chit-chat thread. May I join in? I read a few of the posts, and enjoyed what I read. I…

Hopefully, today I will - Log all food - no problem, I usually do. Stay below 1,200 cal - I do sometimes go over a little bit (between 2-15 cal). Walk for 15 mins twice - an increase of 5 mins and one more session (I had only been doing one 10 min session per day). Lose at least 0.2 lbs. I weighed 153.7 this morning. I'm…

I just rejoined MFP this morning, after I found out that Fitbit is not supporting their app for the actual computer, but only for the phones now. That doesn't work for me, so I came back today. At least, here I can track my food more easily, AND on the computer. I also found this thread this morning and liked what I saw. I…

Keep it up!! Even if it feels that you are not losing, you ARE making changes and that's the main thing. I really admire you for sticking to it, you are doing better at it than I ever could!!!!!

Another cloudy/sunny day ahead. I wish I could go outside and work in the garden again, but I think that will have to wait until tomorrow. This is my laundry day, and that will keep me busy pretty much until about 2:00 pm. If I can get out then for a while, I will do so. I was falling asleep in my chair yesterday…

I didn't get my US citizenship until last year, and then only because my Australian passport had expired. I could only get it renewed by going to New York City in person - a place I absolutely refuse to go to again! I don't want to be stuck in any country without a passport, so I really had no choice. I was not happy about…

Kevrit - thanks for the inspiration. I love your Shi-tzu, reminds of my little Noodles from years ago. I understand the feeling of having a problem son. My youngest has only now, at the age of 51, seemed to have turned the corner, and may be doing what he should. After a 6-month stint in prison for DUI. Sometimes they have…

A slow day yesterday, since it was pouring rain most of the day. With the ground now saturated, I will be going out to do some desperately needed flower bed weeding. With the rain and the heat this month, they have really taken over. I just went grocery shopping yesterday, also something that was desperately needed. For…

Thank you all for the warm welcome you extended to me. I really appreciated all the comments and encouragement. I will continue to read for a while until I get more of a sense of everyone, then I will start to make comments (after taking written notes). Yesterday was a good day for me. I was able to stay outside for a…

I just found this group about 10 minutes ago and feel that is something that I might enjoy. I know I need the support, but I tend to sort of hide and just read, not really participate. It is time for that to change, since I can't do this alone. I live in NH, in the extreme northern tip. Our northern town border is, in…
