I don't know where the days go, it feels like I blink and a couple of days have gone by. Still trying to catch up on reading everyone's posts. I did go to Zumba last night but decided to take a rest day today as my body is rebelling. I'm hoping that I can go to cardio box tomorrow night. I'm so disappointed that DD doesn't…

Met my brother today, it's strange after over 23 years. He answered all my questions and he asked a few. His wife is wonderful. He & my son hit it off quite well. My DD was so quiet. She's so hesitant to trust and with her social anxiety...well not a good combination. I think we will be definitely be keeping in touch. DD…

Sounds like many had a great 4th of July! It's nice to read all about the celebrations. Joyce - love the new picture and I'm right there with you. I still look in the mirror and I still see the same person I was 94 lbs ago. Weigh in this morning and I've lost another 2.2 lbs. Finally the scale is moving in the right…

Drkatie - I'm so sorry about your kitty. I have 2 that are 16 and frustrate me but I wouldn't want any harm to come to them either. I'll keep you in my thoughts & prayers. UGH! DD just came home from work and I tried talking to her about our meals but that turned into a disaster. I make our meal plan and I create the…

Happy Canada day!! I'm at work today because we were closed yesterday. It's so quiet. I don't know where the days go, they seem to zip by so quickly. It feels like ages since I've been able to keep up with the group. I had a NSV on Saturday. A dear friend's daughter had a destination wedding so they were having a drop in…

We had a tornado hit just north of here. What a scary thing, I was planning on how to grab 2 cats and run into the bathroom. I don't know where the days go, work & gym & family .... the days fly by. I did lose that last pound so I'm back to where I was at the beginning of May. Now to see if I can lose some more. DD has…

I guess I'm considered older...:laugh: Feel free to add me, I still have over 100 lbs to lose. I've lost 92 lbs so far and log in every day. Just remember it comes off much more slowly with us "older" folks. Be patient and consistent.

Sylvia - you look wonderful! What a difference It's been a crazy week, work is so busy so I'm getting a lot of steps during the day. Last night was a crazy cardio boxing class, one woman almost collapsed and I overheated and had to leave during the cool down. It's an intense class. Well I'm 1 lb from getting back to where…

You look fabulous! Thank you for sharing, it has confirmed for me why I'm doing this. It's not all about the number on the scale.

Whew lots of new ladies, I love to see the newcomers. :happy: A very busy weekend. I had coffee with my ex-coworker and I was so proud of myself. She had some sort of sugary cake thing with tea and I just had the tea. I did Aquafit yesterday and Cardiofit boxing class today. I've lost 2 of the 4 lbs that I gained in May.…

TGIF!! It's been such a busy week. Work is crazy busy, which is really good. I've been to the gym every day this week but today as I take Fridays off. The Cardio Boxing class last night was intense and I'm feeling a few muscles today :laugh: I hope I recover enough to do the class again on Sunday morning. Going to visit…

I'm diligently working on losing those few lbs that I gained in the last month or two. I know it's just a blip and I'll be back down again and still seeing that 100 lb loss in my near future. My DB & I have set a date to meet up again. July 6th. My kids want to come with me to meet him as it's been over 20 years since I've…

Happy June everyone! Sorry that I've been MIA for the last few weeks. it's been a stressful time and I've been trying not to turn to food. I've gained a couple of lbs but am working at getting rid of them. DD & I are planning on doing the "Run or Dye" 5k next year so I guess I better start building my endurance. She wants…

You are such an inspiration. I relate so much to your story, thank you for sharing it. Congratulations.

Congrats on your first step. You can do it! I've lost 92 lbs and am 54 yrs old. Feel free to add me.

Whether your child has two legs or four legs. Whether you accepted someone else's children into your life, or take care of your nieces, nephews or grandchildren. Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful ladies! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :heart: Sandy in ON

Sorry that I've been MIA. Life gets in the way sometimes. April & May are hard months for me to get through. I am stronger this year then I've been in the past and am working hard at not letting things get in my way. I am sabotaging my progress, I do really well during the week and then weekends come and everything falls…

whew it's been a very long week. Work has become very busy and I love it. I hate getting bored so busy is great :happy: My jaw is finally stopped aching but the fixed tooth is very sensitive. I almost jump out of my skin if I accidentally touch it with a spoon. I've been through this before so I know that will dissipate…

Today is DS's 30th birthday and I think I'm taking it harder then he is. We celebrated last weekend. He called tonight to say he used the gift cards that DD & I gave him on some new golf clubs. He's going golfing tomorrow for the first time this year. He's thrilled. It's so nice to hear. My jaw is still just aching. It…

Just got back from the dentist to fix that broken molar. 4 needles to freeze now I can't feel most of my mouth. No dinner for me tonight, just relaxing waiting for the freezing to come out. Of course because I can't eat I really want to eat :laugh: Isn't that always the way. I'll catch up with everyone later. :heart: Sandy…

Meg - I hope & pray for the right answer for you & your family. Whatever happens, whatever decision is made, I know you will handle it. You are a wise woman who loves her children. Please don't forget about you through all this.

Hi Jody. what a great start, using mfp. It works if you let it. I too am over the 50 yr old mark but not a grandma yet. I have been using mfp for 490 days faithfully. I log every day and have lost 92 lbs with more to go. Feel free to add me as a friend. It's always nice to have friends to support each other. Sandy

Sylvia - I loved your list for Meg, made me laugh so hard that DD gave me such a strange look I had a nice chat with my trainer tonight at the gym. I've been a bit discouraged and she was going over my workouts. I know every step forward is a step in the right direction. I think it's that I'm still battling the depression…

What a great weekend weather wise. DD & I went for another walk down at the lake still lots of ice build up on the pier. Went to aquafit yesterday & today. I lost 0.8 lbs this week. I think it's time to get out the measuring tape again. The scale isn't being my friend the last few weeks. I can't wait until it's warm enough…
