I am older with high blood pressure and cardiac problems and I always thought that I was being cautious with my sodium intake, but was still having such a problem with edema in my legs. When I started using mfp and include sodium as one of my macros and was floored. I was doing well with my calories, but wow the sodium. I…

I always envy people that can exercise in the early AM. I am not a morning person. At 10 PM I can tackle anything, but 7 AM is another matter. I am not ready for summer!! I wish I were someplace that would be 68 to 72 all the time.

mem==we bought a home several yrs ago that had set empty for months and it was like yours, the yard was awful also. Hope you took some pics when you first moved in so that you will be able to see the big change. LJ -= hope your week quiets down and you can just pop in to say Hi. You're just such an inspiration with your…

jellyfish==Sorry to hear you've been so sick. Glad you're beginning to feel better. We've had something here with coughs that seem to hang on forever. It always seems that when I'm sick I just want carbs. So, it does make it difficult to watch your wt and then you don't feel like exercising. Hope you stay well.. mem==your…

nonnalynn==I think 2 days is the longest this thread has gone untouched. It's good to see some pics again.

jellyfish==like your life lesson. That is really good. Your mom must be a smart woman. I think one of my life lessons is that you shouldn't judge people with a first impression. I have a couple very dear friends that when I first met them I couldn't stand them. Their personalities were a little qwerky until you really got…

I think we're dying a slow death. I refuse to be the thread killer.

We just got Goodwill stores here in the last yr. My daughter lost a lot of wt and as she'd drop sizes she found such nice new clothes at Goodwill. People take things that still have the tags on them. Have a good night/day.:drinker:

:heart: :flowerforyou:

mem, that OT money is always nice when it appears in the paycheck. I wish somedays I had it again. This retirement money can sure go fast. Happy Sunday!

No thread killer today!!

I think this thread is winding down. Everybody's flown the coop, almost. Jelly==hop;efully you'll remember what you learned in computer class. I know what you mean ab out being a geek. I have to call my grandson if I can't figure out something on my computer. Have a good one. :drinker:

No, No this thread has gone on too long to let it die now, jelly.:noway: :drinker:

Jelly===hope you were able to sleep. If you didn't,at least you had a good time trying. Angelika===you should have gone over and said to them that it looked like the product really worked. Don't know what's happened to everyone. Maybe they gave us up for Lent.:wink:

bump

Watching an old Saturday Night Live rerun. Guess I need to think about going to sleep.:yawn:

That cat looks like me!!:laugh:

We had record breaking temps here today. High 70s. Some nearby areas were 80. Cold front to come in tomorrow afternoon with strong winds. I really want some winter!! Nothing exciting going on here. Tomorrow's my babys 46th b irthday. That doesn't seem possible. Where does time go. Seems like yesterday he was this cute…

It's still cloudy here, but the suns trying to come out. I wish someone would come and clean my house! It's not dirty, but it's messy right now and I would like to read.:grumble: Guess I'll make myself spend the next hr straightening up and then let me read for an hr. :wink: Hope everyone's having a great Tues.:drinker:

Sunday afternoon here and it's raining. mem==That's so hard to give up internet when you've become use to using it. You're such an inspiration to know that wt loss is really attainable.:flowerforyou: :drinker:

Jelly==like the latest pic. That sentiment is so good.

Thanks for getting the recipe. I saw The Chew today and thought it sounded good. I've never used that pasta, so even made it more interesting.

You guys almost let me kill this thread!! I refuse. It's been 24 hrs. You all must have celebrated too much on Valentines.

Jelly==The day's almost over, so guess this is a belated happy birthday.:flowerforyou: I was 52 once also. The awful part is that I have a daughter that will be 52 this yr.!!:noway:

Jelly==Love the thread. Tim McGraw had a recording out a couple yrs ago that was about the chg in the use of words. Happy Valentines Day to everyone.:flowerforyou: :drinker: :heart:

Believe it or not, there are some roses and daffodils in Myrtle Beach. I'll have to take a pic so you can smell at them. We've had a mild winter here. We've all been so busy the time just keeps getting away from us. Almost let that thread killer get us.

jelly--love the tea cup kitty. We've all sure been busy lately. My new motto for the wk is "Take time to smell the roses."

chao--you can do it!!:drinker: Tell that cpr cat to hang around, we seem to need it lately.:wink:

Check out this topic on MFP--Need to lose 100lbs or more? Lets start a group! part 47. This is a great bunch of people that are so supportive. Since everyone has a LOT of wt to lose they understand, better, what you are going through. There is a lot of good ideas and advice related to this wt loss journey.

Cats are she strange creatures sometimes. When my kids were teenagers we had a cat that had a litter on my daughter's bed. Then the kids didn't want to give any of them away, so we had 5 kittens we kept!! One of them would always drape itself around my neck when I was talking on the telephone.:happy:
