Snoozie, I use the "eat back exercise calories" method. I let MFP calculate my daily and set my activity to sedentary. (I sit for basically 81/2 hours a day at work).:grumble: I also have a fitbit and use that to determine my exercise calories. I don't enter in anything for exercise unless it is something that I can't wear…

Good Morning my friends, The last time I weighed in was August 1 and today it shows a loss of .09 pounds. So today, after all this time, vacation, a death in the family and an unplanned move by my daughter and her husband into my house was a great eye opener for me. It means that I have learned much here on MFP. I may not…

If you still haven't been able to locate the Menopausal Mad Hatters group try turning off your safe search feature. This should help.

Good Morning my friends, I read over these posts every morning and I am amazed at how much we are alike even though we are so far apart. Mazie, welcome back from the beach. I miss my time there already. Bis, You have made a wonderful choice to take of your Mom and from the sounds of it your son and BF are a great support…

Good Morning all, HSH, T2 and Snoozie, I am hoping for a lottery win as well. I missed out on the 325M so will keep trying here and there. The world we live in today is just not like it was where you retire from the same company you started your career. Snoozie, like T2 says you didn't put it on overnight. That probably…

If you are that sensitive to smoke then you should not have your windows open. If you are used to living in the country then maybe a move back would serve you well. I have allergies to lots of things and I have learned that although I love the outdoors, leaving my windows open are not an option. Or, if I choose to, then no…

Heading out now to get a little walk in. While on vacation, I lost my phone. When I went to the local Verizon store, I upgraded my phone since it would take a week to get the insurance replacement. What they didn't say is that I would lose my unlimited data plan by upgrading. Off now to give my local store a chance to make…

Call me maybeCarly Rae Jepson...cheesy but motivating. OperatorJim Croce....warm up Walk this wayAerosmith...have seen them 3 times...love them!

Good Morning my Mad Hatter friends, oh how I have missed you. Was on vacation from 8/4 until 8/14. Then we had a funeral to attend out of town. Somehow, I managed to drag my butt into work today. Have a video conference in a bit but will be checking in throughout the day. Thank goodness I will have two days off after this.…

so tired tonight, so much has happend in the last 48 hours but I am here at the beach with my whole family and for that I am truly thankful....much more tomorrow when I am not so tired. Have a good one everybody.

I have been MIA for a few days getting ready for vacation. I am leaving today for a week at the beach with my family. Kids and grandkids! What a great time we will have. I am going to be logging food and enjoying my trip and I want all of you to enjoy the time as well. I know we can make this time in our lives the best…

T2, thank you so much, without you and all of the wonderful Hatters I don't think I would have had it in me to continue. Don't be in denial, together we can do this. Trust me I know. Listen to the doctor and lets get healthy together. Hydrate well today my friend!

Snoozie, In your post you said to "remember to be kind to yourself in some little way today" please make sure you follow that advice. Your eyes and health are so important. Good Morning to all of you Mad Hatters, It's the beginning of a new month. What can we accomplish? Anything we set our minds on, we are strong, loving,…

Oh TA, the talks we could have. Rick and I both had adult children so that wasn't an issue, but if I heard once I heard a million times "Lori and I never argued". Well duh, that is why you were bored and not participating in your marriage! we have been together for 14 years and married for 3. I have never forgotten…

Okay, I am sitting here reading all of these replies with tears in my eyes. Even though I am beyond menopause and had some reservations about joing this group ( lurked for the first few days) :blushing: I am so happy to be a part of this wonderful, kind, caring group. For 206 days I have been on MFP. I have 2 friends who…

Well said Snoozie. I know for myself, it has been a roller coaster ride of up and downs, gains and losses. I have used food as a crutch for so long. It has seen me through problems in my childhood, as a young adult and even now as an "OLDER" adult. It has been my friend, always loving me no matter how much I screwed up in…

Bis, it'a a huge IPOU moment. thank you for being such an inspiration. I will have coffee all around for those that want it and tea or lemonade for those that don't:bigsmile:

Lisa, Just post when you can. I certainly agree with the attitude toward your Dad and hope that it becomes everything you want it to be. It sounds like it is going well already. Have a great day/night!

Good Morning Hatters, First and foremost, GOOD LUCK today BIS! I know you can do it and I am beside Snoozie in the Hatters cheering section. Now, how is my day.....I got up and attempted to make the coffee. We have had a grind-n-brew for years, you pour the beans in add water and go. 5 or 10 minutes later you have…

Whew, 10 and 11 year old's! Breakfast, lunch and dinner all cooked and dishes clean..check! 1/2 of the yard mowed and weeded..Check! Volleyball and sharks and minnows...check! One tired Tonya....Absodamnlutely, I will sleep good tonight only to do it again tomorrow but with more people and a smoked brisket. Would I trade…

Bis, I am so proud of you for tomorrow. I hope that it is all that you want it to be. I know you will be amazing. Thanks for the words of encouragement they are much appreciated. I think that as we get older they mean so much more...at least for me. :smile:

Awesome job Snooz...IPOU! I had grilled chicken and salad as well, the boys had rice and corn added to that. Haha it was what I had. We are leaving for vacation on Friday so I am eating everything in the house so I don't have to buy groceries. I should take a picture of my non perishable pile for the trip..you would lol!…

Oh snap, you are better before I finished my post, I always was a day late and dollar short. thinking of you my dear.

Oh TA, I can so relate to your situation. I haven't spoken to my own mother in 8 years. It is a long story of abuse that is for another day but just know that I understand. I would call and see if she is available tomorrow or even next weekend. That way you both have time to get used to the idea (or not) and you can come…

T2- Should we call you the "stair master"? Great job on those flights! Hope it stays uneventful for you today at work!

Bis- knock'em dead, you can do this! Good luck

Oh Snoozie, I understand the boredom eating so much. It happens to me as well. It does help it you can create something to do. I have so much going on today it won't be much of an issue but I will be here for you to say "Step away from the fridge and back up slowly"..lol. I feel so much better today. I have a plan of…

Ok, Grandsons -2 / Poppy and Tonya - 0 zippo nada! they wore us out. Volleyball and capture the flag against an 11 & 10 year old boy is so good cardio. I feel wonderful at the moment. I will however be dusting off the resume this weekend and putting it out asap. I hope each of you had a wonderful day and are having a great…

First of all I have to say that the women here ROCK! I know I can leave my troubles at the door and you won't pick them apart. I have never felt the way I do today. My feelings are hurt, bashed and I am pretty much slayed. (not from tequila) lol. The "Bimbo" has managed to treat me worse than the rapist or abusive…

Have a marvelous day Snoozie!
