I have been here 45 days and today I hit my first goal....10 pounds lost! Twenty pounds to go and when I get there, I will see if I can do 10 more. I am committed....I am strong...I am changing my life.

  • Good Afternoon! A quick note before I go out. Maureen, seriously?? Somebody needs to get a portable heater in there. Hope there is some improvement inside today. I am in the process of crocheting a winter beret for my daughter (by her request) and working on assembling a bathroom cabinet I got for over the commode. Should…

  • Good Afternoon! @dawnbgethealthy , my laptop has an option to categorize your tabs so you don't have to have too many open at once. I have Social, Financial, and Bills tabs which keep all tabs in those categories hidden until you click on the catagory tab....then they slide open. I am guilty of too many tabs too and this…

  • Good Afternoon! I finally felt well enough to get a shower....hadn't had one since Tuesday. I feel much better. I have a pot roast in the crockpot for dinner. And maybe today will be the day I make that banana cake. Hope you are all having a nice holiday weekend! TTFN.... Sandy TMW - 176.2

  • Good Morning! Thank you, Lana. I am still a little stuffy and I sound like a bass instead of a soprano but its a vast improvement over earlier in the week. Back on the stick today. Breakfast was a couple eggs and 2 pieces of thin sliced bread. Probably will have fish for dinner tonight. I took a rump roast out of the…

  • Happy Thanksgiving! I have felt lousy the last couple days. My daughter Venmo'd me money to order a turkey dinner in, which I did. Not worried about the calories and I saved the dessert for tomorrow. I THINK the symptoms are easing up....no sneezing today and nose isn't dripping like it was. I hope that means I am moving…

  • Good Afternoon! Yesterday evening I started having symptoms of a cold. I took some Airborne and took some more before bed and after I woke up this morning. Hope it helps. I don't need another sinus infection, which is what usually happens after a cold. I was going to make my banana cake today, but that's up in the air,…

  • Good afternoon! @Tilliesmommy1, I only like peanut butter when it's in peanut butter cups. Not good when I am a diabetic. 😁 Cleaned the ex's bathrooms. And they needed it. I don't think they were touched in the months since I was last there. But the money is welcome. And that was my workout for the day. I started making a…

  • Good afternoon! I am about to get lunch...I rarely eat breakfast on Sunday. Probably going to have chicken noodle soup I got from Wegman's...love their hot soups! I contacted my ex this morning...he wants me to clean his 2 bathrooms, which is good because I can use the money. He pays good. So that's on the agenda for…

  • Good Morning! @Tilliesmommy1, Happy Belated Birthday! 🎂 @Emkaygirl1, welcome! I know how you feel. When my partner died 10 years ago next month, I was a mess.

  • There used to be an option to add Quick Calories, but I don't know if you can still do that or if maybe it's only available with Premium.
    in Hello. I’m new here and i have some trouble with the app like how can i put my calories if I don’ Comment by Crochetluvr November 20
  • I don't know if this will help, but I have to connect my health app to MFP every morning or it won't add my steps and deducted the calories. I don't know why I have to do it, but I do.

  • You need to somehow keep your food hidden away in the back of the fridge, if possible, or a separate pantry or even a box someplace the others in your household won't look for or find. May sound extreme but extreme circumstances call for extreme measures. As for accountability, I live alone so I am accountable only to…

  • Good Morning! @Tilliesmommy1, geez! SO glad you are relatively ok! And my excuse for having an SUV is I can hardly get out of today's sedans. Hope you are feeling yourself soon! And I hope your father moves around a bit more. 🙂 @mkculs13, I hope the shots are kind to you. Sorry about the weight. We all get discouraged at…
