What a jerk! Certainly not respectful...run the other way. :heart:

Lots of juicing recipe books. Check them out at your local library

What a great idea!!!:flowerforyou:

Poly .Thanks for your post. Keep logging.

Motivating each other is so important. Welcome and all the best. I would be happy to be a support for I have a great deal to loose and need the support myself.

S- Loved your thoughts, I hope I understood the sense of your message which I found most touching. For me it said- Yes, we have a reality of an aging body to deal with and we have to forgive the effects of that reality. I try to love what and where I am although it is often difficult to accept. Also, I try to surround…

There are lots of DVDs. You can check some out of the library and try them out. You can check the website Collage Videos, they sell so many and have a little clip of each to get and idea of what they are like. And many MFP have left You Tube free videos for you to look at for ideas. A good walk always works. I wish you…

Post dinner snacking for me equals poor choices. It is like you have some calories left what can you sneak in before bedtime. This is a good challenge for me. Until I make good choices, I accept this challenge and will not snack after 8. Will have a decaf tea.

Good Luck. Sure health is impt but your plan sounds good.. Your calorie goals seem reasonable. It is almost summer and you can really fill up on all the fruits and veggies that will soon be around. And exercising a minimum of 60+ minutes a day will surely produce results. You may not make it to 50 but I think you will…

Welcome tsca. You will find lots of friends and support in this group. I am planning to visit my "old " hometown in Oct. I wonder how it will be.

Hey there, Thanks for the information. I plan to check it out. Your body sounds like a description of mine. Knee replacements, Bone on bone in lower lumbar...I think shaking up your food plan is a good thing. I wish you lots of luck with it. Today we had rain, hail and possibly of a tornado still being predicted. Sunday is…

:love: Good Morning, Ginny I hope your dinner party was fun, Your menu looks yummy. You are so supportive and I have to thank you for always having an encouraging word. There are days your WTG makes me GO! Punki, your consistency is truly helping others. I am in a stuck place and your finally losing those 2 pounds made me…

Sitting and listening to the wind blow outside at around 40 miles per hour. But the rain storm has stopped and the sun is out. We have had a lot of rain lately but the hills are green and beautiful. I did not win the lottery and so I was at Target at 8:30 this morning with my 50% off coupon to get my star wars crazy…

I use a Breville and it does a pretty good job. But the cleaning gets annoying but it is not hard..It is easier than the Jack La I Lanne..What type of blender are you using...I need a new blender and am looking for suggestions. One that will juice, also. I use the same recipe a KimoMFP.

Welcome Silverniki. You have found the best site! It is filled with smart , fun , supportive (and many arthritic) women who will really help you on your journey. Good luck. Sending good thoughts. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou:

Ginny I loved your shopping with hubby story. It cheered my day. And arthritis and dicey thyroid for me too. We can only do our best. :love: I think we are...:heart:

Welcome Marlene. Ginny put it just right. Hope we can help each other on the journey. :flowerforyou:

I use many of her videos and like them . They have different intensities so you can match your mood. Check out her site. I buy my videos from- CollageVideos.com. You can play a clip of any thing you are considering buying. Very reliable and you can call and ask advice.

:wink: No problem...my life is one senior moment after another.

Ginny - You didn't notice my name , so think I will stick to my own challenge of 45 minutes this month and work up to 60.

Thanks for reminding me about that plan. Dr. Barbara Rolls founded the Volumetrics diet plan. She has written lots of books. You can check her out online. They were available at my public library. I just reserved her latest.

Punki: Finally had a success. Made them with EVOO and balsamic vinegar and my own spice mix, It was a question of watching the oven and the size I cut the kale. Had made them before using Tyler Florence's recipe. Anyway LOVED them. Thanks for recipe. Hope you are having a blast on your trip. I see no signs of jet lag. Hope…

I would like to try to up my exercise to an hour a day (except on Sunday). Have lots of medical stuff going on for hubby and me next month but would like to add my name to the challenge.

Welcome. G This is a great support group and hope we all meet at the next 10 pound loss!!!!! My brother and family lived in Norman, OK for many years. Anywhere near you? Not too far from Oklahoma City. Good thoughts as we make the journey together.:flowerforyou: Smackadoodle. As I look at the corned beef and cabbage in my…

When I saw your foraging for goodies, I just thought of her. Happy ramp hunting!

Have you read -Animal, Vegetables, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver ?

Thanks Smackadoodle...Not feeling at all defeated :wink: ! This site and the group has somehow given me the confidence through the support system to say..."it is a new day!" I was much more on track today. And did more exercise than I recorded. Bon Voyage, Punki. Enjoy every bite of the caviar :happy: Sue- enjoy your…

Punki sounds like you are getting excited about your triip..I think Home Ec was valuable and we learned lots of basic things but sadly it is no more. Not a good night...the time change disrupted my sleep . I just could not fall asleep. I finally got up and read myself sleepy. But the worst is the monster munchies attacked…
