Hi Everyone, Diane: My sister has been using a magic bullet for the last few weeks and likes it, she said she didn’t think her blender would do raw carrots etc. Just a short check in today probably won’t get back for a couple of days, my 2 GD are coming for a sleep over tonight, and I have a potluck to get ready for on…

Hi Everyone, It is raining here like crazy today. I used to enjoy the rain but now my mind goes to the sump pump in the basement and worry about the power going out. I don’t think I know how to dig out and start the generator! Oh to be a child and only worry about which puddle to jump in instead of a flooded basement! Meg…

Hi Everyone, I feel new every time I post on here, maybe it’s because I only post every week or so! LOL! I find it hard to keep up with this busy group, but really enjoy reading the posts when I get a chance. Cynthia: I had never heard of Fitbit till I started reading the posts here and I checked out the article it was…

Hi Everyone, I don’t post as often as I should but I do try to read the majority of this thread. I haven’t done as well as I would like to this past week but better than I would have done without it! I missed tracking my food for a few days and haven’t walked or exercised as much as I should have, but because of being a…

Hi Everyone, It's a beautiful day here in Nova Scotia. I didn't stick completely to my June Goals over the week end but kept recording what I ate and that helped me from going completely overboard. We had overnight company so I had too many "refreshments" I am going to start my weigh ins on Fridays. (I think I used to…

Hi Everyone, Well I'm into day 2 of tracking! Yea! It really does make a difference. I have always wanted to lift weights, not to get muscles but just to strengthen muscles etc. and since I have knee issues and can't do floor exercises I always thought it would be a good alternative for me. I'm looking into it. I am going…

This will probably be a first and last for me...posting twice in one day! LOL! But when I saw Brenda's comment about always giving up on things I thought I found my twin...I have always been like that especially with food issues. I came to check out the site just now because I was sitting there thinking "what the heck I…

Hi Everyone, Great day to work in the garden, cloudy and misty. I tracked my food yesterday for the first time in a few months and it really does make a difference. All in all I had a good day, so will track again today. I read through the posts since yesterday and got some encouragement from everyone's stories. Goals for…

Hi, Well I'm slow getting started, I don't know where my ambition to stay on track has gone it's been MIA for a few months now. I fell in my yard today (my foot went in to a hole that is either a rotted tree stump or a home for some critter or both!) Between my weight and my bad knees I couldn't get up. I had to drag…

Hi, I would love to join this group for June. I have probably posted here quite awhile ago. Still struggling with my attitude. Anyway my goals for June would be: Eat more vegetables Walk at least 3 days per week Keep track of what I eat daily Try to think positively Cathy in NS

marking this spot for later...been MIA for a month or more. Have missed you all. Decided there is no way I can keep up with the posts on this thread, but you are such a great group that I want to continue to be a part, even if I can't stay up to date! LOL! Be back soon... Cathy in chilly Nova Scotia

Hi Everyone, marking my spot for later. Only November 2nd and already 4 pages! I have been off the radar for a couple of weeks, hoping to start back on track this week. I'd like to avoid the person who keeps sabotaging me...but it's me! So I guess I'll have to have a long talk with myself later! Off to figure out some…

Hi Everyone, I’ve been checking in every day but not doing any posting. I’m going to take some time this afternoon and read through the posts of the last few days . Went in the other day to try the “fix” that the Arthritis place rigged up for the brace (turns out it was pretty much the same as what my husband and I did)…

Hi Everyone, I actually started this note a couple of days ago, now finally getting ready to send it off.So far my goals for October are just goals, nothing accomplished yet. I am starting fresh today. I can’t keep wallowing in self pity because of my knee, (and #*!# brace!) things could be a lot worse, so a new attitude…

Just found this thread...can't wait to try some of these recipes, I've been looking for some good soup recipe's to put in the freezer...looks like I've found them..Thanks! Cathy

Hi Everyone, I finally downloaded the App for MFP on my phone.:smile: Jb_2011: I copied that recipe, Thanks, I’m glad someone asked for it, I thought it sounded good the other day when you were talking about it. Michele: Kale chips, I forget where I heard about them, it may even have been here. I Googled it, and it was…

About Dementia: the first thing I started to notice with my Mom was ( and she was always an awesome cook) she would forget what to include in the simplest recipe that she had been doing for years. Dementia is very hard on everyone, including the person afflicted with it. It's not like they wake up one day and can't…

Good Morning Everyone, Well I hope to get back on track as of today(2 days late) better late than never. I usually weigh in on Mondays but didn’t do it till today…I found 2 of the 4 pounds I had lost last week so hope I can lose them plus a couple of their friends, in the near future! :grumble: My biggest problem is (among…

Hi Everyone, Well I’m trying (yet again) to get back on track. We had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend with family. :heart: DH and I are trying to rig something up to keep my leg brace (for arthritis) in place. Hope it works. Maybe we will invent something simple for other people like me that have the same problem and become…

Good Morning everyone, I’ve been hiding in the shadows this past week feeling a bit down and no motivation…as I am writing this I thought geez shouldn’t that be the time you use the group for moral support etc.? (light bulb moment!) I was using the motorized bike pedals for exercise at home but used them for too long a…

Hi Everyone, I’m having an ok day. DH just brought home some mini chocolate bars! Grr! :grumble: I have a weakness for stuff like that, which is why I never buy it. I told him he’s better eat it quickly! LOL! We don’t even get kids at Halloween! I went out and popped some popcorn to stop me from pigging out on the…

Hi Everyone I am back tracking my food, it really does make a difference, at least for me:smile: . In just the few days I’ve been tracking as well as using more low GI foods I have seen a difference in my weight. My weigh in is Mondays so hoping I can hang on to this loss till it’s official! I have also been using a set of…

I started today badly with a "take out" breakfast (after going for bloodwork that I had to fast for) and figured I would wait till tomorrow to track my food because I already blew it...then when I got home I figured what the heck no better time to start back at it than today and guess what...I didn't do as bad as I…

Hi Everyone , I've been off the computer for a couple of days and started this reply on the 22 nd! I haven't had time to read all the posts since then, but will read them later tonight. Megblair1: I’ve never heard of cedar parchment paper, but will defiantly look for it, and give it a try Sasha4427: We had cat doors in the…

I noticed this topic on my way to another topic and I'm so glad I did. I bought my first avacado this week as well and was just asking my sister for ideas, she only had one and that was guacamole! Now I have lots! Can't wait to try some. Cathy

Hi Everyone, I have come to realize that I can’t keep up with this tread unless I check in everyday! LOL! It is a very active and motivating place. Sasha4427: Yeah I can see where someone would be cranky on the South Beach diet…especially the first 2 weeks! Kathyszoo: I am trying to stay positive about this “knee”…

Hi Everyone, I have been MIA this past week...I started reading the posts of the last few days but figured I should post something before I continue reading as I have missed a lot....including a picture of some animal hanging upsidedown....can't wait to read about that! I haven't had much luck with my brace I got for my…

Hi Everyone...just marking my spot...have to run some errands then coming back to read the posts I missed over the week end. Cathy

Hi I just tried to post in the September link and it showed as locked and my post went to cyberspace...I think....can someone help me find you guys...I'm lost:sad: Cathy

Hi Ladies…Finally got my brace today…now let’s see if it works. They did a lot of fitting today and want me back in a couple of weeks. She gave me lots of information so I am looking forward to the next few days of trying it out. Glendalight: a friend of mine on Facebook lives in Lethbridge and had posted some pictures…
