@biketheworld What an amazing view out your window!

I mentioned the CrossStitch World app. Mine is android from the Google Play store, but it may well be on other formats like apple and pc as well. To find out more, search Facebook for "Cross-Stitch World Community". I think you can get the app direct from that page as well. (I'm not a member as I don't Share When Finished…

That was close! I was about to weigh out my evening-snack popping corn ... when I suddenly thought "did I log my supper-dessert or not??" So I checked. I hadn't. I added it and removed the intended popping corn .... All Still Good and not into the exercise calories even so (it only by a smaller margin) 😎 I like having the…

Exercise: 💎 more than 20 minutes (a whopping 22 ,,, ) and with the lower food intake, fitbit STILL gave me a few exercise credits Logged: 💎 everything including the various types of cream filled cookies I had with my tea while visiting my mom Under Target: 💎 didn't even get up to touching the (30-some) exercise credits -…

which joints hurt? could you do something like range of motion stretches of a different area for a bit? or do you mean every single joint hurts?

My current mini-goal is to consistently login to MFP and log ALL edibles (good, not-so-good, and downright UGLY) with NO JUDGEMENT as I get back in the logging groove after being away from it for over 7 months. So far so good - haven't missed a day since restarting Oct 31. After a month, I will see where I am and look at…

Sleeping in on weekends or stat holidays .... it means "late first meal of the day therefore fewer calories over-all before regular-time supper" I call it "inadvertent intermittent fasting" .... I never could handle TRUE intermittent fasting (eating the same number of total calories, but in a limited and specified window…

Yup, that worked! 👌

Pahia B fitness. I will be checking that out myself as well 🌷

My report: Exercise: 🏅 a walk outside in the sun at noon, walking-game on the wii after work, walk to the grocery store and back (in the dark) before a very late supper 13.386 steps in all (MFP said "fitbit told it I had earned over 166 exercise credits" despite calorie-heavy dinner) Logging: 🏅 made a point of…

But at least you are here! As mentioned in today's opening ... just being around and with positive people will help carry you along in the current towards a more positive place of your own. I think this might be a good place to mention Sea Otters again. The collective term for a group or gathering of sea otters is "a…

OK ... so the paragraph marker icon (which I couldn't see at first) appears just outside the upper left edge of the Comment Box AFTER you first click in the box, ready to start typing .... I can deal with that. I DO like that we web-based types FINALLY get more than a mere dozen or so emojis (but that is SOOOOOOOO minor if…

Exercise: o:) Three separate 20+ minutes on my walking game for a total of 10,315 steps on the day. (needed just over half the exercise calories the fitbit "credited me with" to break even - hence the third session just to increase the buffer zone by a bit. Logged: o:) EVERYthing ... which is why I knew I wanted more than…

Thanks, @jmu1965 @Mrs_Hoffer and @enlightenme3 Keep 'em coming if anyone else also has suggestions!

what's your favourite hearty autumn / winter soup recipe? Looking for ideas ....

Exercise: o:) MFP says that the fitbit "told it" I had earned 134 exercise credits via 8438 steps vs my food intake. Two deliberate walks - one in the sunshine at lunchtime, one after supper (after dark) Logged all: o:) everything Within goal: o:) knew we were having the rest of the stew, so planned a lighter…

Just keep reporting! We're glad to be seeing you again.

Just keep at it and reporting in, Champ!

welcome back (I'm back after being away for quite a while myself ... both of us getting back into good habits)

Exercise: o:) over an hour walking game PLUS longest outdoor roundtrip in the neighbourhood on a warm (for fall) and sunny afternoon. Feels strange to be looking at Full Dark before 6:00! Logged all: o:) (had to guesstimate something for the home-made beef stew, but picked from the high end of options to be on the safe…

I like flavoured coffee (by which I mean "flavour steamed into the beans and then ground either by me or by the company ... NOT the "Starbucks et al coffee-shop syrup-added type). Finished the last of the Pumpkin Spice variety (and no longer available in stores until next Sept-Oct) so have moved into the Holly Daze spirit…

One of the biggest changes I still have to make is sustainable uptick on the fruits and veggies intake .... ESPECIALLY the veggies! Thanks for the Topic Post today, @LazyBlondeChef ! I already have warmed fruit mixed into greek yogurt for many a lunch ... what veggies do people like to grill? I might try some of that over…

Exercise: o:) more than an hour of wii walking game on my mini-trampoline (~ 6000+ steps) plus after-supper walk to the farther of two grocery stores and back (11732 steps for the whole day .... not bad considering I didn't get up until around 11:30 this morning) Logging: o:) everything (not hard to to do when there is no…

[accidentally posted Saturday here - it has been moved to the correct thread. MFP will let you edit, but not actually delete]

but you posted, @davert123 ! Way to BE, Champ!

This first week went surprisingly well - both for the act of logging AND what was chosen and actually consumed. So my next mini-goal is .... REPEAT! I realize that this is basically a "second honeymoon" thing - but as the general level of (recorded) calories in arrives at that balance point with active calories habitually…

Life happens. The important point is that you reported. Way to BE, Champ!!

@Arc2Arc Yay YOU!!

Hey, Kay. The biggest gift this group can offer is company on the way to self-awareness. We have a stated "TRY to do" set of three things, but you are NOT penalized or eliminated if you don't make it. You just don't get your name on a list on Day 1 of the next month. Some people faithfully make the attempt, then show up…

Even if it was a pass day .... what was ONE thing that went well that you could repeat? What was ONLY ONE thing that would be easiest for you - your life's reality - to switch up a bit?
