Carol, welcome to the fifties!!! Fit an Fifty a good combination, congrats. Snoozie, good on you for facing your exercise fears. Working with a trainer is the perfect way to do that. The trainer will know what you need to avoid to avoid future injuries. Tammy, my January trip is to give a presentation at a conference at…

Patrice, it looks like major fun! Congrats. Tonya, welcome back to the real world. Those 5 pounds are as good as gone!

getting pictures on here is confusing, looking forward to the muddy pictures! Snoozie, the lake walking sounds lovely even with bugs in the teeth. Friday my walk was on the High Line in NYC. It was a different experience from Thurs's walk in the Brooklyn botanical gardens, but there were a surprising number of flowers. It…

Tammy, the job situation is horrid! Hope the right space opens soon. Your pool ladder story reminds me, one of my goals is to be able to easily pull myself out of a pool without steps or ladder. I think I am getting close but unwilling to try with people around.

Cheryl, wow a great vacation and maintaining without deprivation! That is an awesome NSV!

I need to read Nora Ephron’s I hate my neck, because I am not liking the way mine is looking these days. My dad and my friend both said they thought that I should consider declaring that I am at goal and not lose more weight. But I think that is just skinny neck syndrome. I read that it is not unusual for people who have a…

A brand new week filled with possibilities! How can we soar this week? I am on my last day of my 4 day visit to my dad's in Florida, or as I call it "retirement training" But being around old people reminds me how important it is to get fit now. We cant control what will happen to our bodies as we age, but one thing seems…

You are so right we WILL reach our August goals. Not only should we not think in terms of "I don't" we should not even think "I may" or "I might" Studies showed that there is a real difference between results when we say and think "I will" or "I do" For instance never say I don't or worse "I can't" eat the calorie bomb,…

Tammy, that previous job was just training for where you belong. CONGRATS! Gail, what is the deal with cinnamon supplements, never considered tham. Missing DH, I pick him up from the airport tomorrow night and then I get on a plane at 7am the next morning. I think sometimes time apart is needed to remind me why I am still…

Yesterday taking a bath after my tennis match, I closed my eyes and imagined I was floating in the ocean. Then I thought what am I doing in the ocean naked!? So when you run through the gate and get to the beach, please have a big towel ready to cover me up. TA good thing you were talking about your extractions, I almost…

Welcome 53 and sounds like some good things were distracting you. Please share your struggles and successes here. Most likely one of us has been there done that and if not we are good listeners. Snoozie, you need to share the wisdom from the personal trainers. Your company is so wise to invest in the health of its…

One night on the isle of Manhatten doesn't compare to the Coronado or Florida vacations. I am jealous! But Tonya have a wonderful vacation you have earned it. But life is good. I seem to be over the mindless eating relapse, thanks for all the supportive messages. My son and DH are halfway through their road trip to Salt…

A brace worked for years until this recent flare up. So it might just be a temp flare up (fingers crossed) I did notice that it flared up after a long singles match in high humidity when I should have been drinking more than plain water. For those days now I make sure I have something with potassium.

Tonya, I am reaching out with a virtual hug, what a difficult time for all of the families. Tammy, You have put your heart and soul into teaching those students and I am sorry that they will not benefit from all that you would have given them in the future! Your share your faith so openly that I am confident that it will…

It was great to see Andy win, but I think the match of the tournament was DelPotro v. Djokovitch. Thank goodness for espn 3 which let me watch doubles, Here's to the Bryan Golden Slam!!!!!

It took great britain 77 years to get a male Wimbledon champ, so you are way ahead of schedule. Congrats on a great day of tennis. Getting through that singles match will be in your mind next time, when your brain will be able to tell you that you are a winner!
-
Snoozie, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A MAJOR SUPPORT TO ME AND ALL THE HATTERS MANY MANY THANKS! Susan, not diabetic, WOOOHOOO great news. ***I know I am going to be doing fantastic, after all if Great Britain can get a male Wimbledon champ after 77 years on the 7th day of the 7th month, anything is possible.

Carol, thanks for reminding all of us To Come on, let OUR colors burst Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh We're gonna leave 'em falling down Boom, boom, boom We're Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon Boom, boom, boom We're Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon Sounds like some lovely summer time activities, with work being…

Sloane Stevens' day will come but not yet. I am looking forward to seeing her in DC at the Citi. I don't think Serena is stoppable. Men's side is tough, today's upset is big news, no spoilers here. I think del Potro has the skills but not the mental toughness. I dont think Murray is 100% physical right now, so I am going…

Homicide, Pemberton should have forgiven his partner. Big Love, killing Bill was the easy way out, and not unexpected but the neighbor was a good touch.

Don't understand your connection between your honors degree and being a size 16. You are not your size or the number on the scale. I was not less smart when I was obese. And you are no less deserving of your degree now that you are a size 16. Your injury kept you sidelined, so now you can get your fitness back. 3.5 years…

Harley, welcome to the group! Feel free to vent about anything, related to your fitness journey or otherwise, someone here has been there done that. And make sure you share your victories, NSV's especially, after all the number on the scale is nothing without the other benefits that come from healthy living. Gail, good on…

If someone else made this, I would really enjoy this. But when I make crab cakes, its Old Bay, Worcester Sauce, a little mayo and crab. If I changed the recipe my family would riot!

My main focus when I have an evening match is making sure I have enough fuel to get through the match. I don’t want to eat dinner close to match time because that makes me sluggish or when it is hot and humid, it makes me nauseous. So I stick with my regular breakfast and make sure I get a good amount of protein for lunch.…

I have been on Wellbutrin since 1997 because of a head injury. When I stop taking it my headaches return. But as far as appetite suppression,, it lasted for a very short time. I wish I had happy more vivd dreams!

When my bras got too small, I found a sports bra that fit great at a Walmart. Each store had 2 in my size, I went to 4 different store and bought 2 at each store. They were the style with 4 sets of hooks in the back, and adjustable straps with soft cups, for the last 60 pounds I have transitioned one hook at a time,…

Unfortunately, I have had brushes with death and I didn't improve my game like that guy! Lol I was frustrated with my record this USTA season, but it is my first season playing singles in many years. But last week I played a 3 hour match and won a third set tie break 12-10. At one spot I started to mutter to myself, do you…

Good morning Hatters and a happy, healthy Monday to everyone. Last Monday was the first week that I skipped weigh in. I knew the stress eating had taken its toll and I couldn't face the result. I promised myself that I would get back on track and accept whatever this Monday brought. So I was happy to see that I was down 1…

Tonya, they call high blood pressure the silent killer, don't ignore this. I had high blood pressure issues after surgery. I don't remember feeling very different. When i started mfp in Jan 2012, my BP was high and I asked the doctor if i could try to bring it down by lifestyle changes. He gave me a month, but he had me…

Cheryl, with Greg's hospital stay I didn't get to Honfest this year. He's impatient with the healing process, I don't think they did a good job of explaining the pain involved. Snoozie, your sister will also be dealing with the pain issue. A friend showed me how to hold a pillow over my stomach when getting up after…
