Toni, Carol, and Lanette- Thanks for the encouraging words! Rori- Your trip sounds like it will be fun! Mars is one hardworking cat. Cute picture! Marnie- Glad you are up and moving. Hope the back continues to cooperate. It was interesting hearing about the Iditarod. I saw the start on TV a few years ago. The moose on the…

Karen in VA, Your sweet Olivia is in my prayers. Hope your trip goes well. Carey, I love the quote. It really fits my work stress right now. Charlene- I missed my license renewal a few years ago. They changed the date from the last day of your birthday month to your actual birthday. I didn’t know that and my grandson was…

Hello all, I got WAY behind on reading the posts. I've been reading for a bit, but still have a long way to go. But I hope to catch up soon. Just wanted to check in. Jana in Virginia

Lisa what an amazing tapestry! I like the gray sashing. It makes the images pop. Well, I finally made it to the gym. I did 65 minutes on the elliptical and I wasn't as out of shape as I thought I'd be. I used to go regularly, but I have hardly gone since school started in August. I haven't been at all in a couple of…

Sharon- I haven’t read the Year of No Sugar, so I was confused about dextrose, glucose, and barley malt sugar. I thought those were sugars. I guess I should read the book. My daughter went for about a year avoiding things with added sugars. It worked well for her and I always tried to serve some things she could eat when…

Marni, thank you for sharing some of your story. Your brother might think you lack riches, but I think you have a heart of gold and you have enriched the lives of others. You are an exceptionally strong woman. Cindy- welcome. Change is hard, but you are on the right track! That is one of my favorite verses. I also like…

Barbie- hope the search for the new dog works out. I sometimes miss my dog. She died 4 years ago. But I know I just don’t have the time to give a dog right now. But all these cute pup pictures and stories make me want one again. Lenora- those medical incidents must have been scary. No wonder you keep your info updated!…

Penny, I love the pictures of the polar bear tracks. I googled your town and it is lovely. It was very interesting to read. Have you lived there long? I love that people have getaway cottages. The population of the town is the same as the population of the high school (grades 9-12) across the street from me. Thanks for…

Dr. Katiebug- what an accomplishment! Pip- Amazing shoulder pics. Mia- love, love, love the bags. Great job! Heather UK have a great trip. I got the watercress I ordered and have enjoyed the peppery taste. Joyce- Glad you had the therapy eval. Now to keep up with those exercises. 22+8 meds, Wow! Allie- hoping all works out…

Hi everyone! It has been a busy day and I'm tired. That alarm clock will sound off early for work so I am going to head for bed. I am thinking of you all and so excited about the wonderful choices many of you have been making and the great pictures you have been posting. My thoughts and prayers go out to those of you…

Cheri, ha ha, that pound of fat! I want one to hang from the refrigerator door handle. Maybe another for the pantry door. I can visualize a big old pile on the fireplace showing all the lbs. lost. Glenda- my calorie budget is 1290 per day. I’ve lost 26 lbs in about 28 weeks. I’ve never made it to a maintenance weight. Well…

Christy/Margaret- my mother had kidney cancer a few years ago. They found hers when she had symptoms. They removed her kidney and she didn’t require any chemo or radiation. She is doing well. Thinking of you and your families. Janet okc- I hope you don’t lose power! I remember my first ice storm. I was a newlywed. We had…

Ivalente1-welcome and congratulations on getting bold. You are off to a great start! You may already know this, but you can use the dropdown box on a food to change the serving size- many items have grams, ounces, and other choices. Also when I search for a food, if I put the measurement I want, MFP will often show me…

Karen in Va- thanks for your kind words! Love the plow. I could have used that this week. Your pups are so cute! Cat in VA- I’m sorry you have not found relief. The first doctor I went to was useless and his expensive inserts and shots did not help at all. The second doctor I saw has been amazing. His shots work so quickly…

Cat from VA- welcome. It sounds like you have a good plan. I have plantar faciitis too, and never do the treadmill anymore. I mostly do the elliptical machine at the gym and weights. I have had the cortisone injections in both feet several times over the years and usually get several years of relief. I’m also very careful…

Charleen in Colorado, your quilt is breathtaking! Thanks for including the detail view. I love the colors you chose and it is beautifully quilted! I know that it was an amazing amount of work! Thanks for sharing the pics. Michele in NC- all safe and warm here. I go out and shovel some while it is still snowing too. I sweep…

Well, we are braced for a big snowstorm/blizzard overnight and tomorrow. 10 to 12 inches of snow expected and below freezing temps for the next few days. I’m near Norfolk/Virginia Beach and that much snow is a huge deal for us. Typically we might get a couple of inches of snow a couple of times a year or maybe no snow at…

I can see it is going to be a challenge to keep up with all these posts! Love the veggie pictures. Lenora- It is great that you exercise every day! I’m going to work on that. I am not on a special meal plan, but I just try to make healthy choices. Lots of vegetables and fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, limit fats and…

Hi, I'm excited to find this group! I've been using the food/exercise parts of mfp on and off for several years but I'm new to the community area. I have been logging my food since June 21st and I have lost 26 pounds. I'm a teacher and have been on Christmas break. But the break is over and I have to go back to work…

Salsa verde -the green stuff is good. It has 5 cal/tablespoon. Red salsas are good too, but I prefer bruschetta to red salsa. I have seen some commercial dressings that had 0 calories but the ingredients list was not appealing and I have not tried them. If you are having vegetables on your salad, you could try blending…
