I cannot tell you how moving it was to return to MFP and see my mothers picture! She loved all the members of the Senior Golden Sneakers! Great to be back! Marie’s daughter Alice

Hello from Texas! I am technically not new but it has been YEARS since I’ve been here. I am a 68 woman with diabetes and a strong aversion to exercise! Would love to connect with a supportive group who is not afraid to kick my butt when I need it. I agree to do the same but I will also celebrate your successes and maybe…

Count me in! I’m embarrassed about the number of times I have started over! I’m 65 and the time is now!

Good morning dear people! For those who do not know me...I am Marie’s (Caliecat) daughter Alice. It has been 7 months since my mom’s passing and I miss her terribly. But she loved this group so very much and I know her online friendship with everyone kept her mind active and her heart full. Thank you for giving her so much…

I know I don't pop in much but wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I am thankful that this group of wonderful ladies has given my mom Marie their friendship and love. You are a blessing!

Just popping in to say hello...

Message from Missy Marie - I will see you Friday afternoon!

Momma (Marie) I just got word that Missy Marie's adoption was approved! Yea! I will call you later when I find out when she can join you and Daddy!

Lin, sorry for your loss.

Just popping in to say hello...the penguin is for my lovely mom, Marie!

Just popping in to say hi!

I know it is not here yet...but wanted to say thanks to you all for being such great friends to my mom, Marie. You are all wonderful people! If you are traveling this week please be safe! God Bless you all! Alice

For my mom & all of her wonderful friends...

Happy Birthday

All - my mom (Marie) is home resting. There was concern about further clots in her legs so she went to the ER. Thankfully none were found. I am sure you will hear from her as soon as she rests. Thank you for your concern she is so fortunate to have such caring friends!

Good morning.... Happy Birthday Lin! Alice

Good Morning! I'm just popping in to wish you all a glorious day!

For my mom who is doing awesome...she is making great progress!

For my mom, Marie, stay positive!

Good morning on behalf of my mom! She got moved to the rehab center and it has been a rough transition. New people, a lot of people coming and going poking and prodding. She was nervous about being here alone last night so I stayed with her and I'm glad I did. She got a bit confused and thought she was home and tried to…

HI all...this is Marie's daughter Alice. She wanted me to let you all know she has been without power all day due to storm last night. She & Daddy are ok. Power company says it should be restored by midnight!

Good morning everyone I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I lost 1.6 pounds and got out and did some shopping. Everyone is doing really awesome including my mom Marie! I don't always get to post, but I do read all of the reports of success! At WW on Saturday we talked about conversations we have with ourselves - about…

Hey hey it is Tuesday! Gonna be a great day! Another 10,000+ steps yesterday...going for 3 days today! I can do it! Weight is slowly dropping but according to my clothes - the inches are melting! You know what that means....shopping! My favorite "exercise". Here is a little sunshine for those snowed in...

Good morning! Connie - thank you for your sunshine each morning and for helping out my mom. You both are amazing! I lost a pound this week...first loss in a few weeks. But no gains really so that is good! I think I got a bit cocky and thought I could get away with not tracking and have not been drinking enough water. So…

Happy Saturday! Hope your day will be a sunny one like ours is promising to be! What a week...I finally hit 10,000 steps and my home scales showed a loss! Official WI is at noon-hope it lasts!

<3 <3 Happy February! <3 <3 New month and getting closer to our Easter deadlines. I have stalled - not gaining but not losing either. So going back to basics. Water, fruits, veggies, and move move move! Have a great Monday...remember you are stronger than you think! Don't give up!! Alice

<3 So glad to see you are felling better Momma! I was worried! <3

Great list Connie! We way too often judge our success (and sometimes ourselves) by that darn scale! I just got in 30 minutes of walking/jogging and I am feeling strong! Not winded at all which is my non scale victory so far today! Momma- I will call you when I have seen you online in case you are still resting. Love you! -
