We are growing by leaps and bounds. Welcome goodwin and greengrannie. G: I agree, joined WW for awhile but I find the support of MFP so much better. The points system was annoying and the groups were not that friendly. P: I really like to roast and grill my veggies. They seem to have a better taste. I am still…

Sue: Me too. Lucky to live close enough to visit when I feel like. Yosemite in April...Just the best time to go! Before the great crowds of summer. Although we have had a crazy winter, I hope the wildflowers are in bloom. Also, lived in NJ before moving West. Loved the shore.

Finally got to trader joes and I am making these today. Let you know how they turn out. Saw a tee shirt that said, KALE IS THE NEW BEEF. Thought of you:flowerforyou:

Graycatbird: Welcome aboard...we are kind of a new group but the support has been terrific. Gardening is a great exercise.:smile: Post on this message board or ask to friend any or all of us. Good luck in your journey, I think MFP is a powerul place to be. Punki:.great news now you can breathe free. Smackadoodle. Bruce…

The same thing just happened to me. I will try again later. I had a great day in Napa today. Doing well with eating and exercise. Sending good thoughts. :flowerforyou:

anyone suggest a good pedometer/calorie counter. any fit bit users?

collagevideos.com. has many choices.

Some really good ones on - fatfreevegan.com. MFP members sent some fabulous ones!

Thanks smackadoodle...I needed that! I,too, am eating a balanced and what I like diet. I want this to be my lifestyle change also. And I tried but just can't make 2 meals...So I plan meals for 2 with portion control and calories count taken into consideration for me. Your words really helped. I am uping the exercise time…

Have fun at the concert smackadoodle. I am in your boat...went to part of my annual physical today and after 1 month of keeping calorie records and exercising the scale did not move a pound. :angry: What a blow!!!! Punki, I am going to have to shake it up...thinking HOW?! Will see my medico in 2 days, he always has good…

Good thinking, Punki! So true the plan and keeping it logged on MFP and encouragement from this group is the thing.! It is a lovely sunny day and I am off to do my thing.

Hi Punki, Junk in the trunk is en vogue!!!!!!!!!!! Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashiam look out. But, seriously, you are so determined you will be a hatch back in no time. I like your dates and weight objectives for each. It is a good strategy. I hope to be down 40 pounds by October. Trying to use a pedometer to up my daily…

Thanks...going to Trader Joe's tomorrow. I think the "dry' part is the secret. :happy: Tried the chocolate but my will power isn't the best. Just roasted some asparagus...really yummy.

Punki, Could you share your success with making kale chips? I have tried many times and I just don't seem to get them right. THANKS!:flowerforyou:

We are here for you. :love:

Good morning, I just added you as a friend. Now everyone in the group is in contact. Say what you need or just anything and someone will communicate. Good luck on that getting ready for the reunion. I have a similar event , at that time maybe we can push each other. I try to be loyal about logging food and exercise. Have…

ginnylee, You got something! That is the way it seems to have worked out. I am happy with a smaller group. Might be easier to give support. I am already friends with all in the group except patti who has never answered any messages. So now I will request you as my friend and we can communicate on the home page. Look…

I hear you! The group does not seem to comunicate on this board but members keep joining. It states I began group but the person that did is no longer active. I keep checking to see posts ...any suggestions??:smile:

I am up for it! Today was a slow day for me and your cheery note sent me to an exercise video...maybe it is a sign :wink: I like your idea of a small group and hope that within that group we can find some support from another fitness pal.
