Bump to find where I left off tomorrow. Marcia, No. Va.

Trader Joes's carries it. I freeze a loaf or two and just toast it! Might save u a trip to the store 15 miles with the price of gas! Marcia, Northern Va.

Hi all, I checked in early this morning before my emergency dental. Thanks for the well wishes from some of you. Interesting, you can have 3 roots in a tooth. I very much trust my dentist of many years, but it was one he missed, thus the pain! All solvable. I am very glad I am not a dentist. It was a good food and health…

Happy new day all! Boy, I thought I got up early some of us have night schedules for our lives apparently, way early! :yawn: today I don't go into work until after an emergency dental this morning. I am scared. Got a root canal a month or two ago & now feeling discomfort (like an early infection) above where the root canal…

It was great to read your thoughts this morning. Many go through something like you describe. For me a major accident, a car ran over me when I was walking home from work, turned my life around quite a bit. I was somewhat positive, some of the time, before the accident. Now I am very positive. I have problems, some fairly…

Good morning all, I am so excited three days this week with three days at work, no chocolate candy/work candy bowls. A little proud of this change in pattern. We'll see, this coming week. My son says try some discipline mom. Ok, I can do it. I love my life, my loved ones and my little dog Cody, she's a Brittany and won a…

Bump. Hope to chime in tomorrow. Marcia - Virginia newbee....tired. :yawn:

It is a bit late, and I need to get up at 5:30 tomorrow as usual for work. I had a fabulous day and due very much to the support of one of my MFP friends. She was not afraid to speak up and be honest with me,:smile: and it was a mini push/reminder that I needed. I have said in my profile that I am willing to do what it…

Enjoyed reading, will write more in the a.m. Marcia, Northern VA bump

Just found the move to another page, I guess that 's what you call it when 500 posts is reached. I am so tired, walked today and yesterday at work, finding a way to squeeze it in to a busy day. I just want to make some progress. I have been takng my vitamin F for months with little progress on the scale. But, and that's a…

Hi Friends, I am trying a new pattern, getting on in the a.m. and starting off my day right. Debra good progress, and glad you are on now. I am relatively new here too. This is a wonderful group of women, I have been just reading for a month as I was trying to orient myself to so much, changing my life, signing in…

Bump - come back point Katla, Sorry I got mixed up on the names; Renny congratulations on the 10k....I hope to be there someday again, not now, recovery from a knee surgery. Walking for now. Marcia :wink:

Hi All, Procrastinating on my taxes. I just throw stuff in a box for the CPA, but dread the drugery. Oh well, happy to chime in a bit. Kathy - Congrats on the 2 lbs! Fabulous. Renny - thanks so much for the tips. I had no clue. Still relatively new here on MFP, vitamin "F". I have learned so much but my practice needs to…

Marking my spot. Thanks you all for so many interesting and helpful stories. Marcia N Virginia

Just checking in I really enjoy this site. Have been reading many posts and will try to add some notes this weekend. Had a great day and I really love the commradery on this topic/in this forum. Thanks all, Marcia Northern Va.

This board/topic has been very helpful for me. I am not loosing like I want to, but I'll get there. I have learned so much and now I am starting to get real. What struck me in all of these posts is that we don't like ourselves. I don't like myself and it is helpful to know at this point that just loosing the weight won't…

Hope everyone is having a great day, I did. I woke up with plans to clean all day, most anyway, for my family coming for Easter next weekend. Our house is small but nice and I am going to offer a buffet for the meals as we have 8 coming, and the dining room is small. The carrot bisque sounds wonderful jb, I am going to try…

Have a nice rest of the evening all, and a great refreshed morning to those who are in bed b now. This is only the 3rd time posting a reply to this topic. I have been reading the threads for a week or two though. Marcia in Northern VA. I just have trouble remembering all of your names and who talked about what at this…

Great perspective. I don't know if I would bandy back and forth against/with a bully on MFP. More likely to see if I could help them, and if not, move on. Too much anger in the world and don't want to waste my energy on these bullys, rather spend it helping the folks who need help and support. You?

Hi all, I am new to the Women 50+ Topic/site, but I have been reading the threads for several days, and getting much out of it. Very open and honest communication and I hope I can add something to the mix. :wink: I read many of the comments this morning planning to jump in, and then it was time to get out and do some…

Soooo nice the wonderful, exciting trip to an exotic place AND the celebration of 20 years with someone you love. My husband is my best friend, truley is and he is a blessing in my life. God knew what he was doing giving me this man as a gift. Generous, loving, I could go on and on but this is about your 20th, just saying,…

Great thoughs, I got something out of what you said. Marcia VA

This site/can/will help you. Just keep reading and try to log in every day, make it part of the routein, giving yourself the maximum chance at success. I tend to sabotage myself, but this round I am really trying to do it right, for a life style change not a "diet" and learning a lot about good, nutritious eatting and…

Bump. Extremely Helpful Thanks!

Hi, New to this group. Liked the way you post, very conversational. Nice style! Marcia (Northern Va and expecting a big snow storm!)....Not sure, but I think "bump" means ditto, or agree, or same.. as in if I say I loved Lincoln, and one of you replies, "bump" you loved it too!

Hi, You went from 49 up to 50. That is what it is. I look at this as a number, not a measure of failure. You want to go back to 49, do it. Don't get all hung up in feelings of guilt, guilt is a wasted emotion they say. People keep telling me, and I am new at all of this, working it about a month now, it's a "life style"…

1st - 0, 2nd 2.75, 3rd 3.51, 4th - 1.75, 5th - 3.65

Is it too late to join? I have walked almost everyday in March and using MapMyRun to track so I can add in what I have booked so far in March? Let me know someone. Also, where/how do you track what you walk so that others see, just add it in a post/reply? Marcia

I agree with you, and just wondering if they are eating junk and loosing as much as 5 lbs a week, are they in their 20's or running 3 miles a day or something. I think I understand that 1lb is about 3500 real calories and until I have a 3500 calorie deficit I won't loose a lb. So someone loosing that much would be at a…

Marcia - Fairfax, Va This looks like a great stream to be part of for a newbie; I joined MFP some time ago, but just really engaged in Feb. GOALS -MARCH Check in to MFP daily Track food accurately Loose 5 lbs by the end of March (a group I just joined) Minimum of 200 cals daily deficit - minimum Walk daily - 2 miles Pick…
