Looks like the consensus is in and women of 50's love October. :heart: count me in! I had to turn the air conditioner back on this afternoon after a couple of days of cool air, open windows :smile: All goes as forecast I can re-open them this weekend -yay! Popping in to say I did get my activity/exercise for the day so…

Yay! October; it's quickly becoming my favorite month as the summer heat subsides and I am able to get outside more often. Therefore my goal for October is to get back to doing an activity/exercise 3 times a week instead of 1 or 2... Thanks Barbie for keeping this thread going strong. T-gal in Plano

Weight was not in my vocabulary in my 20's and 30's but come 40's it began to gradually grow so I've decided not to beat myself up when I am gradually losing. BUT it would sure be nice to have the energy of 20's & 30's :bigsmile:

In October I will be starting my last year of fifties - where does the time go! I've been active on MFP for a little more than year and really enjoying the support found here.

I would prefer to be known as a follower of Christ than Baptist yet I do belong to a Baptist church and blessed to be one who has ears to hear.

Applauding Nascar for calling out Boyer on that spin! Hefty penalty but who likes dirty tricks. Looking forward to the Chase. #JimmieJohnson #48 go for 6!

Getting ready to sign off for the day. It's been a good Monday yet I still found this Monday graphic too cute not to share. That's usually my sentiment about Mondays! TracyB, finding the willpower is a struggle we all need help with so you are in the right place. I need to look up the Thin Guidelines that Barbie mentioned;…

Meg, sorry to hear that about your daughter. Rebellious children can last for a long time. I will say a prayer for her. jmkmomm gave you some good advice - love them unconditionally. Glad you like the cartoon but no need to choke :) Sue, hope the ice is helping with the healing. Time to go watch Nascar Sprint race with…

please do exercise caution with that prednisone; it can do some strange stuff over a period of time.

Popping in to share this cute pic I found on facebook; I sure hope all who read have a great weekend ahead chewing - veggies of course!:bigsmile:

That's assurance that what you are doing is working; keep up the good work.

Or he could go see a nutritionist who would be best qualified to assist him in foods to eat. If you want further ideas I would suggest looking online at Diabetic Living - it's a magazine with good advice, recipes, etc.

Happy Canada Day to all the ladies from that great country! It is exciting to see all the goals popping in for July. I am with @drkatiebug on this one. It seems like when I set a goal life happens then discouragement sets in. I too seem to do better tackling it one day at a time. This is a short stop as I am getting ready…

Good-bye June Hello July - I sure hope you are better than June. Weather-wise we will start out with unusually lower temps so that's a blessing. But will begin the month in the doctor's office for DH. Praying not to end the month there.

It's FRIDAY :bigsmile:

I have only recently been able to hit below 100 numbers. Nutritionist told me to stay around 150 daily.

hi Charlotte, I would suggest to increase protein and stay away from starchy carbs like rice, bread, potato, pasta. I read that eating sugar increases the cravings for it. Not sure how true that is but perhaps that is why this one is so hard for us to kick. Moderation is the key unless you have a health reason to stay away…
-
I can't say that it has happened to me but I have read of others that claim that exercising raises their blood sugar. You might do well to test it for yourself my tracking before & after. It is good that you were able to bring it down so quickly. I haven't tried proteins to drop it down but it sure sounds like it worked…

Hello ladies; I started reading with the first page and made it this far... @grandmalle I find myself eating my share of WW String cheese; cheese has always been a favorite of mine. It was cheddar put I made the transition okay. :flowerforyou: @gardengirl my grumpy colon has me detouring the Italian cuisine lately too…

Oh the joy of UC - never knowing when it will act up or ravish our bodies. I know mine is active but not in its usual way. I have the weakness and a pain in the back which is something new to me. Being careful what I eat too! Praying for remission, if not healing please dear Lord send remission.

hi Nancy, when I started someone told me that they open two windows of MFP - one to read the posts and one to write the comments. It works great. Only today I am not feeling so well and will be writing limited responses. I saw yours and wanted to share this tip with you. Lorraine, congratulations on losing that first ten -…

Welcome Mary from Miami Florida; you will really enjoy this thread. Lorraine, support seems to be the foundation of MFP as I have always found the support of others so helpful. Keep yourself visible and you will have all the support you need & Welcome! a BIG welcome to lvsglass too! So many new faces; it is wonderful!…

A new day! a new month and full of promise! May we all find our days filled with many blessings!
-
Hello ladies; like most of the threads I read it is hard to believe that it is already the end of May. With all of the storms we have been experiencing it doesn't even feel like we had a spring now summer will soon be upon us. I expected May to be a busy month for me so I don't think I set any real goals - good thing!…
-
where does the time go? :bigsmile:
-
hi Sundance; you could try putting your hand in a water proof bag and sealing your arm with waterproof tape. Others have done something similar with success. Good to hear that you are doing so well. peachstategal, caring for an aging parent is a tough issue; you love your mom - you do what you can :heart: grandmallie, feel…
-
Never heard of a MIO watch; I'll have to check it out. Glad you found one that you like. I use an Omron Pedometer and it's just to keep me focused on staying active.
-
May goals, I haven't given too much thought on that one except to stay on-track with logging and activity. I've been going to the gym lately now that the weather is warmer. Not so warm today though with a record low in the 30's for Texas. This week I recorded my first loss over last week for 2013. I've been bouncing around…
