Ditto ... best wishes. I'm starting to think it's food related because so many kids I know or have heard about act the same way as you describe. Processed food, lots of hidden sugars in our food, food that is grown in pesticide and herbicide loaded land ... I made an appointment with a Memory Clinic today for next Monday…

Wednesday Wish ... that I found a way to afford the expenses of new siding and doors for my house as well as repair to the sewer drain tiles as well as new flooring in the house as well as correcting the grading around the house and renewed landscaping as well as a small remodel in the utility room and kitchen as well as…

Went to log my supper and MFP is acting screwy. Wonder if it's doing that to anyone else? ... In case I can't log it ... here's what dinner was ... Baked chicken drumsticks ... small ... meat from 3 boiled potato ... white ... medium boiled onion ... white ... small chicken broth ... home made, no salt ... 1 1/2 cups Dole…

Monday Check-in @Melwillbehealthy - the way you get your ticker back is from your 'Profile' page. Check there and if you are having trouble finding it, try the help features on MFP. As everyone can see from my ticker, I've backslid a lot and came in at 250 again this week. At first I was going to put it off to the swelling…

Sunday Share ... So, I called my sister this afternoon for a chat, and started the conversation off with a 'Happy Mother's Day'. My sis' response was "Why do people wish Happy Mother's Day to people who are not their mother? I hate that." It was a short conversation. Follow-through --- Niki

I have a unique Saturday Success to share with everyone today ... .... got a delivery this afternoon from Shari's Berries ... a Mother's Day gift from my son, DIL, and GD ... it was a dozen different chocolate covered fresh strawberries! .... guess what I had for lunch and snack today? ... Yep, I successfully finished off…

Well hi this late Wednesday evening. I'll be gone most of the day on Thursday with appointments and such so decided to lot tonight instead of on Thursday Truth day. Actually, I do have a Wednesday Wish ... that the dermatologist I'm seeing in the morning tells me that thing I'm seeing them for is nothing to worry about.…

I'm off my time-clock somehow today. Actually just realized it's Monday ... check-in day for me. Good thing I weighed myself this morning. ... and was down from last week's weight ... however I'm not celebrating until I see where it is next check-in. For some strange reason my weight has been doing a hop-scotch dance from…

@bapcarrier ...here they are GOALS and IDEAS for daily posts (Not mandatory) Monday - Check In (how are you doing? Had any successes or struggles this week-end?) Tuesday - Goals (do you have any Goals you want to update us?) Wednesday - Wishes (what do you wish? It can be weight related or not, can be realistic or not)…

Good Afternoon everyone ... I should not be on here at this moment, I ought to be outside cutting the grass! Yet, here I am, logged on to post a meal and just took a peek at the thread while feeling a little lonely and wanting to talk ... so I'm going to talk to you all. Then perhaps I can shake off this emptiness I'm…

Welcome to May ... May 1st, often called May Day, has a lot of holidays celebrated on it. It's a celebration of Spring, a day of political protests, a neopagan festival, a saint's feast day, and a day for organized labor. In many countries, it's a national holiday. For me, it's May Pole and dancing ... 'bringing in the…

Thursday Truth ... checking in with April's challenge which for me was to eat less fruit and more vegetables. I was off-line for part of the month, so only have 3 weeks to report ... Week one ... 20 fruits and 24 veggies Week two ... 15 fruits and 24 veggies Week three ... 11 fruits and 15 veggies I didn't mean for the…

Monday Check-in ...My weight was up this morning by a couple of pounds, and given that I had a major carb binge within the past couple of days, I am not surprised by it. Maybe I'm wrong in cutting so much fruit from my meal plan ... (non-meal plan, I should say), because the fruit does satisfy my carb craving in a…

My 2-cents ... take your own car and drive yourself. You don't have to offer up any excuses or anything, just say 'you will be driving yourself after all and don't need a ride anymore, thank you very much for the offer.' PS ... saw your post that you have made a decision to skip the seminar after I posted this. Sorry you…

Thursday Share ... results for this week on my April Challenge of more veggies/less fruit ... last week ... 20 fruit and 24 veggies this week ... 15 fruit and 24 veggies this week goal was less fruit by 1 a day. All the fruit I ate was fresh, the veggies were mostly fresh or blanched. Goal for this week ... 2 fruits/4…

Wednesday Wish ... that @RobinsEgg/Ellen knows how much she does mean to me and how her posts are what kept me going on this thread. I think we share an emotional ......(can't recall the word, having a 'senior moment') ... but it is a perception that is best summed up by what you said ... "no one would really miss me. That…

So I went to Amazon and checked out the book, then bought the 6-CD set. I'm much better at listening and taking notes than at reading when I want to learn something. Thanks for the suggestion.

Per Morgori-Tom's suggestion for today ... My first day of Kindergarten was in in a village in the Munich, Germany region. My sister held my hand all the way there. Every child was given an enamaled metal cup that we had to have with us every day. That was so we could get the meal they served us each day. At Easter time,…

Today is my weekly check-in day on MFP and had a weight change to report, and update my ticker ... which shows I have lost 32 pounds since my highest weight, which was 8 years ago ... that's a lot of years to have such small amount of change in my weight ... but at least it is a loss. (That high weight was revisited as…

@morgori-Tom, I'm so glad you posted to celebrate National Garlic Day ... on my FB stream this mooring, The Old Farmers Almanac posted this Yiddish proverb to comment on the day ... " A nickel will get you on the subway, but garlic will get you a seat".

Yep ... when I started using the community pages last October (I've been on MFP since 2012) I read about the eat back your calories concept ... and it made a lot of sense to me, suggesting that this is why I used to regain or plateau time and time again in the past; it was like a feast or famine routine with the feasts…

@Karen, my dad always won the egg-cracking game. He knew the 'secret' ... did your father's game with you include having to eat your cracked eggs? I came to love egg salad and sliced egg sandwiches during those years I played the game with him. @Lori, there are probably lots of others who can relate to our bad backs. It's…

"When making changes, try not to make several at once. Choose small, reachable goals at first to establish the pattern or habit." — Peggy Moreland, R.N. ... Mayo Clinic newsletter Drats and double drats ... my back is 'out'. It's been good for over a year and now it's not ... just in time for seasonal outdoor chores.…

Sunday Share - Today is the Eastern (Orthodox Catholic) Easter that I celebrated growing up and with my parents. Now that they have both been gone for a more than a decade (2 for my mom), I have gotten away from celebrating it in the past few years. Except this morning, even though I didn't go to church for the all-night…

good morning MFP buddies ... I'm so glad to be able to get back on here and read your posts. Haven't been able to catch up with all the posts I missed while my PC was down but am getting caught up from the continuing ones that I've read through. Welcome to all the new posters. I haven't looked you up yet to get to know you…

I also use dry beans in my menus. They are a good alternative to animal protein, especially when they are combined with pasta or rice so that the protein is more complete ... but for the most part. I cook them up and keep them for adding to my soups, stews, and as salad toppings. Someone wrote about Kidney beans making you…

Wow! My computer went down and had to go for repair. Just got it up and running this evening ... and see that I have 296 notifications of posts on this thread ... I left off on page 693 and it has advanced some 10 pages since my last post. I'll catch up to everyone as I get back into the groove ... but first my income…

Then the next question is ... how accurately are you logging the calories ... and you might consider lowering your intake by 100 calories to see if it makes a difference. Those BMR and TDEE numbers are general averages and, unfortunately or fortunately, we are not average. I've been struggling also ... and in fact, have…

I missed you in my previous post ... so wanted to say hello and welcome. Keep posting and ask questions if you have any, share how you are doing ... we all benefit from what we read and what we write. Niki Welcome mhani .. ditto ... we all help by posting to support one another. Keep posting and we'll get to know one…
