Hi All! Sorry, I too, haven't been around much, Its crazy busy at work, so I havent' been posting. Alf: I only know the general region Sing lives in, as I went to college near Hershey for a year back in the day. I know he's a little bit of a drive from there. I hope its just that he's got no access to his computer right…

Hi Alf! Its very quiet here today! Sorry to hear you are having pain. Wish we lived near each other so I could come to your Zumba classes and 'thons.

Swiss, I'm pretty slow on it about 400 calories. I've been trying to split up my time between the elliptical and treadmill, but Monday nights you can't be choosy at my gym, its full of people who want to start the week off right, by Friday they are all gone.

Good advice Swiss! Got about an hour and 20 minutes in on the treadmill last night.

Happy Monday All! Swiss: I so often eat for the wrong reasons, I probably don't even know what a true hunger feeling is myself.

Happy Birthday Alf! Sorry, I've been quiet around here. I've been crazy busy at work, and the time change has gotten to me, too. Have been very distracted this week, and only got in one workout, but had a great week the week before.

Alf: Yes, that is the reason why I only post my cat. Its funny I'm easy going about most thinks in life, germs, meeting new people, travelling, looking both ways before I cross the street LOL but I'm a little paranoid about online identity theft, etc. So we will stick with Yogi's pic. Good news for check in day and the…

Swiss: The other one! LOL The parent company is also the big hair dryer company. Sorry, I'm big on not putting any personal info out there on the web. Got my two hours in at the gym. I have tried this week some serious (for me) intervals on the treadmill, and it definitely feels like its working me better than the way I…

Chris: Thank god it didn't spread to your apartment and everyone is ok!

Welcome back Jprice! Swiss, we won't have internet where we are going, and I don't have fancy cell phone with the app. We are going to try to eat very well and exercise a lot, one exception is Stella's in Castine, Maine. I proposed to the chef last year after eating the Mac & Cheese appetizer. They sent out word that they…

Hey All, sorry I've been lurking for a while. Yesterday, my gym started a "Biggest Winner" challenge. I joined for the motivation rather than a prize, but a prize is always nice. Its about 9 weeks, and they are offering a lot of extra exclusive classes for $40. I went to one last night. Its amazing, that I can do as much…

Hi everyone! Just checking into get the thread on my list. Crazy Busy at work, so I'll try to check back in later.

Good morning all! I'm finally feeling less tired, so hopefully tonight I will be back at the gym after a week. Hopefully this was all caused by a missed thyroid pill, or maybe one that wasn't the strength it was supposed to be. I'm very sensitive to changes in it.

Happy Monday all! Its hot already here too. T-storms are predicted for later, but right now the sun is out. Boy, TOM knocked me for a loop last week, and I haven't been to the gym since Tuesday. I even had to call in sick on Thursday to work, I was so exhausted. So, I haven't been on the scale, so I won't depress myself.…

Morning All! Stiring, so glad to hear its not serious! Get a good rest! Welcome devildog. My cat does the same thing at the faucet as in your picture! Got my two hours in at the gym last night. Did tiny amounts of jogging for two nights in a row now, TOM will screw with the scale this week, though. As long as I don't throw…

Welcome 1beach! Welcome back Sing, we missed you this week. I got my 2 hours in the gym last night. Moved a little faster on the treadmill. Hardly sore today, which means maybe I can push myself more tonight.

Morning All! Not much to report. Have trouble getting workouts in on the weekend, but generally if I can do it every weeknight, the results are good. Eating not too bad. We went out once, and I made a good choice.. Everyone sounds like they are having a fun summer.

Happy Friday all! Sorry I haven't been talkative this week! Welcome new folks. Sorry to hear about those not feeling well. Well, I'm down 5.8 lbs over the last two weeks. (Jumping up and down with excitement) I thought 4th of July eating would undo what I lost the first week and actually stayed off the scale until today…

To all those with cat inquiries, we now have three,and the new cat is 21 lbs. So, after bench pressing the 21 lb cat and the 10 lb cat, I got a slow 90 minutes on the treadmill last night, and also had a walk at lunchtime during the day. I'm off from work tomorrow, so if I forget to check in, everyone have a great 4th of…

Morning all! Husband's friend said I could skip the gym and bench press the cat! Carrying her back and forth to my vet, he's right! Well, she was a super cuddle bug last night, I just hope she and the other cats can get used to each other, and we'll be all set. Didn't get a workout last night, as I wanted to stay with…

Swiss, nope but that would be funny! Vet has ordered 3 oz of canned food in the morning and 3 at night. Don't know how we can limit one cat, and not the others. Hopefuly just be the fact she's no longer going to be living in a cage will automatically give her a head start. Too bad we don't have stairs for her to climb.

Tex: I'm picturing a cat in camo colored stripes!

Cat has arrived. We are trying out "Firefly" husband didn't want me to leave him alone with all the cats, so no workout last night.Then we had to corral Firefly back into the case to bring her to our vet to be checked out, and get her own MFP to work on.

So, Crewel, how do you do that for one cat but not the others? We just worked very hard at getting Petty Girl to gain about 1/2 lb recently, as she was looking too thin. Of course, Yogi gained more than that along side, and he didn't need any extra. But the new cat is both of them put together.

Swiss thanks for the ideas. My friends had a cat named Peanut, as he was very tiny when they rescued him, by the time I met him, he was anything but. Our new addition needs to be on the treadmill with me, so I wanted an energetic sounding name, but husband is not yet un board with Firefly.

Happy Monday All! Swiss, we didn't go anywhere, its just we're terrible posters on the weekend! Went home with a bad headache on Friday night, so no workout, which set the tone for the weekend. Got to get back on the wagon tonight. Eating was ok though. stiring, I'm exhausted, just reading your post. You probably are more…

Thanks Swiss. This is free food at work, so its beef, they do offer turkey and sometimes veggie, but I don't ever have beef burgers at home because my husband can't eat beef, so I really enjoy it when they do it here.

Happy Friday and Hello New Folks! Well, dang it, I'm up a lb despite all the good exercising, cause it was a good food week here at work. We have breakfast and lunch included, and I never even go near the breakfast, as all those bagels and cream cheese are way too tempting. But we had burgers on the grill this week, and…

Good morning friends! I almost forgot to the leave the gym last night! One of my friends from work found me at the gym, so I switched from the elliptical to a treadmill so we can workout next to each other, and by the time she was ready to stop, I had worked out over two hours. What a difference it makes when you have…

Alf I would gladly send you the rain we are going to get today. We had a crazy storm Friday night during rush hour. In several places cars got stuck on roads that flood under the train trestles. Other roads were blocked off due to trees down and flooding, so It took me an hour to go the 7 miles to home, only to find a…
