Hello All, Welcome to any newbies I haven't acknowledged. Amanda, so sorry to hear about the family member's loss of one of her twins. How hard it must be for her to wait until she can deliver. I am too tired at the moment to do a long post covering everyone. Wishing all a good weekend, and hope the warming trend comes…

Sandy, Your eyes weren't playing tricks. Unfortunately, it WAS 2:36am and I was still up--insomnia until about 4am. Ended up not going to the meeting I planned to attend at 9am this morning. I have been having trouble with the pinched nerve in my back, and one of my hips bothers me if I sit for very long, and this was…

Irene, Glad to hear you are keeping busy. Sorry to hear Mariah is ill. You are a night owl like me, it looks like. I shouldn't be up as I have a meeting at 9a tomorrow, but I am having trouble convincing myself that I will be able to sleep. Gotta try. Goodnight all. Barb

How nice that you are somewhere that you can actually SEE the sun!!!LOL Congrats on resisting chocolate--not easy, I know.

Another strategy that might help is figure out what you are planning to eat for the day and log it ahead of when you eat it. When you see everything in your diary, it allows you to adjust things so you don't find yourself staring at the "1000 calorie surprise" and wanting to jump out the window.

^ THAT sounds like a great idea. BTW, if we can comandeer (errr uh "charter"--LOL) an entire vessel, I have the perfect slogan to paint on the back of the ship: uh "MFP--We leave no stern untoned!!" :noway: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Michelle, The directions I posted related to steps you would take on the MFP site. Once you have gone to tools and picked mobile apps link, then you choose the one for Android and the instructions for how to get the app are right there. I believe you can search for myfitnesspal at the android market on your phone, but it…

forestdancer-- You are correct about the peppers, the capsaicin is said to increase metabolic activity, but cinnamon does not have the same effect. Cinnamon does have benefits, such as reducing fasting blood glucose in type 2 diabetics, and reducing cholesterol levels. The information mentioned above is taken from Dr. Oz's…

You need to copy all the html code for that image, and change the IMG coding at the start and end of the code to lower case, keeping the brackets, and as long as your image has not been moved or deleted, as the one you attempted to put in apparently has been, it should work. Good luck with your recovery.

The only thing I can tell you is I have visited AZ in April and about died from the heat. "Dry heat" or not, it is STILL too hot for me. The one thing that could be advantageous is that the housing market was very hard hit and property values are such that a good deal on a real estate purchase shouldn't be too hard to…

Marie, Glad to read that Jerry's condition is not as bad as was feared, sounds like it is treatable. Not anytime to respond to other news, except to say, stay safe Phoebe, and hope you are home soon and able to outrun old Man Winter!! G'night Barb

Michelle, You asked if there is an app for Android--YES!!! To find it, go to the Tools tab and then click the link under mobile apps that directs you to more information, and you can download it from there. I think you need to access the page with the phone in order to download it. BTW, I pulled an interesting waffle…

Hello All, Icubs--Got a kick out of your description of your exercise "helpers." Before you joined our group, Barbiecat coined a new term "Pooga"--which is "yoga with poodles" LOL Lynn, I am glad your headache is gone. Have a good evening everyone. I don't have time to respond to everyone right now. Barb

Michelle, I have nothing better to do tonight, so I decided to do a little searching to see what I could find out about your Wii Hula Hoop problem. I found a website, called fixya. Can't tell if they charge for advice or not, but if you are interested in checking it out, here is a link that should take you to the right…

I liked the Audi commercial. That was the one where the white collar types are trying to break out of prison, and first they are chased by Afghan Hounds, then they make their way almost out and the guards begin to play a Kenny G song, and one of the escapees stops and says...oh I have ALWAYS liked that song. His companion…

Good Evening, All. Well Connie, Is that you I see dancing a happy jig with all the other Cheeseheads? It was an excellent game. After it was over, I thought up a joke that Steeler Fans probably won't appreciate: Did you hear how the "Steelers" plan to keep busy during the off season? They have decided to open a bakery--for…

Connie, As long as you don't eat too many of those brats, the scale won't upset you next week!!! LOL I am creating my own version of heaven on a bun with some Al Fresco all natural sweet Italian chicken sausages, some Jalapeño cheese bread, and diced tomatoes with green and red peppers and some mushrooms, and some avocado…

You are on to something there. But since Oregon has an income tax (of about 10%) and Washington does NOT--consider Vancouver, WA (USA--NOT Canada) right across the Columbia River. It is about 160 miles south of Seattle. Yeah, it can get a little wet and gray at times, but in the past 40 years we have only had two really…

If you mean the one about the firemen, I am glad you enjoyed it.

That's a choice we all have to make for ourselves at time. The difference is what happens AFTER. Before adopting a healthier lifestyle, a one day "food bender" might lead to month-long backslide, in my case, but since I changed my attitude and decided nothing is off limits with a little planning, I managed to successfully…

Before you go, have a snack high in protein, along with a little good fat. That will keep your blood sugar steady and the fat will keep you satisfied. Remind yourself you have made a commitment to better health and that you don't want to undo all your hard work. Focus on the game, the commercials, the people, the…

If they traveled from out of town to get to the game, I would imagine they are going to be a bit steamed!!!!!like this guy>:explode: :explode:

Elli, By pulling your prior post up in a quote window, I could see where you went wrong. The coding to START a quote inside the brackets --lowercase and to the right of the "p" key. To END the quote, what is added is a "/" between the first bracket and the "q." If you go to the post you did where everything came up…

I posted Michelle's "prayer" on another thread, giving her credit for it, of course. And while I was there, I saw a story that I thought would tickle your funny bone, posted by a very humorous guy named"RoadDog":

This is the February thread from 2010----Please do NOT post here. Below is a link to the current thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/165470-senior-golden-sneakers-february-2011

Someone mentioned HIIT. I was curious, so I googled, and the info on the link below is very straightforward and addresses the OP's question: http://www.notyouraveragefitnesstips.com/best-workout-routines/best-cardio-for-weight-loss-hiit-workout-routine

Legend, Great pics, and a very interesting description of your working environment. I am also an IRT fan. Did you see any of the filming activity when they were in your area? BTW, next time you are sitting around shooting the breeze with your buddies, or if you want a joke you can tell your young 'uns that won't get you in…

Well, RoadDog, you've done it again!! Hilarious. Here is one for everyone, not quite as knee-slapping funny as the previous story, but I think we can all relate to it. Thanks to "exermom," on another thread that I participate in, for this little gem: Happy Super Bowl, everyone

Hello All, Connie, I am sorry this is such a sad anniversary.:flowerforyou: Wear your jersey proudly and thank you for sharing your story. I was sort of non-committal about Packers or Steelers, but your story has tipped the scales in favor of the Packers. Besides, their colors are the same as the Oregon Ducks, so I guess I…

MJ, I was supposed to be going to a Super Bowl gathering tomorrow, but the friend who was going to have it has a dog breeding business and she has two females due to deliver in the next couple of days, plus one of her Sphinx cats is about to pop, so after a phone conference last night, we decided to forgo the gathering for…
