I don't usually post 2x in a day, but just wanted to give a quick shout out to welcome Belinda and to tell Linda sorry about the fall. :sad: Heal quickly!! Have a great evening everyone:bigsmile:

Welcome to all the new folks!! Happy and blessed Sunday to all! Having a good day so far. Made breakfast and an early dinner for us. Got to church at 11:00 and pulled some weeds out of the garden and got my 30 minutes on the treadmill in between the weed pulling and early dinner! Now I've got to quick log my calories after…

Hello all. I've read through the posts. Wow, Barbie, down another pound! Good for you! I cannot report the same yet, didn't even log my weight last Monday...but I plan to do so this coming Monday morning whether I am up or down. Yesterday was a little higher calorie day for me, but I spent the day (from 9:00 AM until 3:30…

Hello everyone, good Thursday evening to all. My computer just wiped out the paragraph I just typed. Fortunately it was a short one! What I'd said was: I worked yesterday and today. Was proud of myself as I'd done my treadmill before 8:00 am on Tuesday and before 7:00 am yesterday. Not so today, so I have that yet to do…

Happy Tuesday to all past, current and new posters! It's good to hear from Esther (who I'm thinking originally started this thread???) and Suzy. I didn't do treadmill afterall last night but did do a 30 minute walk through the neighborhood with DH (much nicer than a lonely 30 minutes on the treadmill):smile: . However, I…

Just a quick check-in before I go get on the treadmill. I have done well staying near my calorie limit, making healthy choices, doing laundry, the checkbook and working in the yard. Amazing how much easier it is when you keep yourself busy! Have a great night everyone!! Good luck on your 16-week goal, Barb. You can do…

Greetings all! Welcome Wanda and any other new posters. Birdie, I checked out your pics... You do look fabulous!! Way to go! Even showed them to my DH as he is trying to lose weight as well and can use some good old inspiration!! I've been slacking off the last couple of days...not really exercising my 30 minutes because…

Jeannie, The 12-Steps as Adapted for Overeaters Anonymous, as copied from the "The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous" are: 1. We admitted we were powerless over food--that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a…

Greeting all and Happy Thursday!! I scanned posts yesterday and just now. Lots of new people on this site ... WELCOME ALL! Today is reassessment day. I've had eating issues the last two evenings...minor ones in that I was snacking on healthy snacks, major in the light that I couldn't stop myself from that first compulsive…

Greetings all and Happy Summer!! The weather should catch up eventually!! We are overcast and somewhat cool this morning but the birds are singing and my garden could use the rain so I'll choose to be happy about any rain that wants to come our way. Thanks Barbie for starting the new thread and Mimi for your kind words.…

Morning ladies and happy Sunday! :flowerforyou: Barb - 24W to Size 12 --- WTG and You ROCK!!:glasses: :heart: Jeannie -- Loved the kitten-napper story! How you must miss him! :flowerforyou: Rose -- Sorry to hear about the jaundiced grandson. Sunshine will set him right! Hope everyone has a great day. As Mary reminds…

Personally Viv, I agree with you whole-heartedly. A little bit of what you are really craving is far less than the damage you can do by "eating all around" your craving for two or three hours straight! Been there-done that...and that's something that I try very hard not to go back to! Just got back from the walk with the…

Good Friday Evening to all of you. Had another great day in So. Cal. For not wanting to live here full-time, I sure do enjoy it when we come to visit. Paula and I walked dogs, swam, had lunch by the pool, went mega-shopping, and came back and cooked a nutritous and healthy dinner. Now I'm just finishing up my logging and…

Good morning ladies. Have scanned some of the posts (not all though). Congratulations Alice on the new great-nephew and Rose on the new grandbaby!! How precious they both are! To everyone else...hope life is treating you kindly. Jackie, sorry to hear your mum is not doing well...also about the shoulder and arm pain...hope…

Just a quick shout out to tell everyone hello! I am writing from beautiful Yorba Linda in sunny Southern California. We arrived Monday evening after three enjoyable days on the road. So far my eating has been a train wreck since we arrived. Ate out Monday night, ate out Tuesday night:noway: :angry: :grumble: . Today I am…

Thanks Michele...I ALWAYS have a large bag "working" for goodwill/thrift store donations. Everytime a put something on and it's a couple sizes too big it goes in the bag. I will still wear them if they're just a bit baggy, although the clothes that actually fit do look much nicer! About your snack problem with the baseball…

Just popping in for a quick good night to all my MFP friends. Ainslieglen -- definitely DO NOT beat yourself up. As Barbiecat says, the scales can lie to you so don't take them too seriously. We ALL have off days and even though we wish we were perfect, none of us are. What I have found so different this time, as I have…

April goals: Keep things positive -- actions, thoughts, words. Take time for yourself -- Do some form of exercise every day!! Pack healthy lunches. Drink your water! Well, here it is report card and goal setting time. As last month's goals were very general...I did okay on keeping them, except I did fall down a little in…

Just a quick post to mark the thread. I am switching my weigh-in back to Monday...so I'll weigh, measure and do goals setting tomorrow AM. It's a good thing I had general goals for April. I did manage to keep them, for the most part. Unfortunately actual weight loss didn't play too much into the picture!! Welcome to…

Welcome to...ainslieglen, babybluebarbie, skbgogirl (Sharon), memarioz, LollyOllie , Candy and debieanne (welcome back??)...I'm a little slow in welcoming but just as sincere:love: :laugh: We once had a dog (puppy--part pit bull) that ate the metal aluminum slats out of a chain link fence, chewed the wheels off the…

Well, I bit the bullet and logged my weight today...even though I didn't want to! I'm back to needing to lose 4 pounds (not 1) to earn my massage:sad: !! Oh well as for my weekend partying I am now paying the price...but I did it, I own it, and now I'm being honest about it!! Bluebarbara - I will keep your community and…

Greetings all and happy Tuesday. Yes I am still alive...just working. I just came off a killer free-for-all weekend...happy hour and eating out Friday...eating out Saturday...more wine along with fruit and cheese on Sunday evening. Thus I am being dilligently good on Monday and Tuesday to try not to have an off the charts…

Wow, I can't believe I am the first to post this morning. Just a quick pop-in as it is my weigh-in AM then off to work. For right now, my ticker says it all! Woo-Hoo!! Hope everyone has a fantastic day!! :heart: Terri:heart:

First off :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Congratulations Barb on 1) your 1 year anniversary for MFP!!...2) Your closet clean out and going from 18-24W to 14!! and 3) on having lost almost 55 pounds in a year!!! If you had not begun this journey you most likely would be sitting where you were weight-wise, if…

Just a quick hello to all. Welcome home Michelle...how cool to watch a launch!! Welcome pzzy4c !! Worked today but I did good on my calories. Also spent a lot of time on my feet and walking around so that was a plus! Yedsterday must not of done as well as I thougt (the scale was up .8 this AM)...it was hard to tell because…

:flowerforyou: Greetings and happy Sunday to all. Viv…about the shoes…A couple of weeks ago I went to a group meeting, looked down at my feet and realized I was still wearing my house slippers:noway: !! At least they were a pair and matched though:happy: . About 15 years ago I made the mistake of buying the same style of…

Just dropping for a quick hello. Happy Saturday afternoon everyone. It is a beautiful day here in eastern Nebraska. Have spent the day cleaning up a "bed" area and pulling weeds! Doesn't take me long working outdoors to remember why I always welcome autumn! Just kidding...after this last winter I will glady pull weeds and…

Most definitely!! Great job, Mary!!!! Keep it up. I just read an interesting report in a Prevention magazine advertisement...It said... "A landmark study at Georgia State University found that people who took in a lot fewer calories then they burned were actually fatter than people whose calories were more "balanced." In…

Loved reading all the posts on the calorie limits and exercise calories. Weighing in on the topic...I am on approximately 1200 calories a day. I generally burn 150-300 calories/day on exercise...sometimes more depending on housework (none of those today:laugh: ). I generally eat a few of those calories because even though…

Well, I did it…I scanned back through all six pages of April and noted the names of the new posters…so welcome to: Holton, sgilmartin0619, HeatherV697, AllisonMO, Caroline (naturebaby), leipensa, Mimi7grands, rjadams, Randy, Carol0213, vwillan, and Rosy!!!
