Bump for later. Thanks for the prayers for my mom. I haven't heard anything new yet, except that they were waiting for a kidney specialist. Eileen in cool and cloudy San Diego area

Good morning: Again, I am praying for some and rejoicing with some of you. I love coming to this site and "listening" to all that is going on with this group. I'm still working off my temporary 3 pounds from Valentine'sDay/birthday/outoftownconference weekend. It's coming off, but a LOT more slowly than it went on! Last…

BUMP means "bring up my post." Really it just shows you where you left off... Eileen

Bump to find you again! Eileen in sunny San Diego

Just saving my place...It was such a busy day...and my birthday. (65. Sheesh, I can't believe I'm that old.:laugh:) After school was an hour of zumba, then out for a quick supper, then Bible class, church and choir. Now it's time for bed. Eileen (from sunny San Diego)

Wessecg...I was trying to quote and accidentally hit reply...sorry. But, what I wanted to tell you is to contact the Fitbit customer service. I have heard of them replacing lost Fitbits either free or for a small fee. They replaced mine when it stopped working. Several people on MFP have had the same great customer service…

Michele...I just read about the big accident at Daytona. Praying that you are okay. Eileen

Hi again, I have really been lurking (and reading the posts) for almost the whole month. It helps so much to get good advice and read about the trials and triumphs here. For the first time since I started here I had a bit of a bad week. But...nowhere near as bad as it would have been a year ago. So I consider that pound or…

Bump:smile: Eileen near San Diego

I, too, got a shingles shot. My insurance paid for it as long as I got it from my doctor. I was surprised at the cost otherwise! But my mom has had them twice and my uncle once. They really suffered! So I was prepared to pay for it if I needed to. I'll be back later. It's time to do correcting and then go home.…

Happy Birthday, Sue from SD. I will turn 65 the end of this month...And I also don't know how I feel about it, except that there is no other choice.:laugh: I got in a pretty good zumba class this morning. I didn't feel like I did, but the fitbit showed about 10 more calories burned than usual, so I'm happy. Has anyone…

Bump for later....Eileen near San Diego

What a great day for a walk...warm and sunny. It's great to have the day off, but I need to do report cards. It's okay since I have already averaged the grades. It will get done quickly a little later. Enjoy your day! Eileen near San Diego

Tigress...Congratulations to your Marine Corps son. I'm sure you're very proud of him. My youngest has been a marine for about 6 years now. He's been on three deployments and is now based in Yuma, AZ. He graduated in San Diego...What an impressive ceremony! Eileen in Sunny (finally) San Diego

Hi again, I have just been lurking since the beginning of the year. I do read all the posts and they really help me stay focused! Eating has been going pretty well and I love going to zumba three times a week. I love my instructor and she was just featured on a tv news segment doing a senior zumba class at the Y. It's…

Bump for later.

Cheryl, Your sleep patterns look a lot like mine. I absolutely can not believe you husband's! Wow. The first night I used it I was awake 31 times! Usually it's more like 15 times. But it's very interesting to see patterns. Eileen from near San Diego

Welcome Wannabe... Bump is a way to mark your spot. Someone told me it stands for "bring up my post". A fitbit is a device you can get that keeps track of your steps and activity. I have one and love it. It also syncs to MFP to add calories you can eat, etc. I had a rather unsettling day. Our school was broken into during…

Good evening and good new year to all: An NSV for me this week...my doctor said I could stop taking the blood pressure meds since I've lost so much weight. I will have to take the b/p every day to see if it stays low enough...Here's hoping. She also told me to try yoga for a back (well, really side of the back) problem I…

Happy New Year! Eileen

Good Morning! It's a beautiful, if slightly chilly, day to end the year. I'm sooo happy to say that the scale finally went into the 140s for me. I don't know if I have ever been there in my adult life! I even lost weight this month when I was just hoping to maintain. I have been eating some of the goodies that people have…

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all! Eileen

You guys are wonderful! Can you lose weight from singing and laughing? I think, yes. (So now I'll be shopping singing about smelly shirts.) Eileen

I really wish these forums had a LIKE or LOVE button!

Love the song verses! I'm just laughing and laughing at those water ones. Sooo cute. :laugh: Eileen

Michele, I have a Fitbit. When I go to zumba it shows how many calories I burn each minute. Some more, some less. I would think it would do the same thing for walking and sprinting. I really like it. Time for bed. Happy Wednesday tomorrow. Eileen

Another busy day here too. As all have said, such a senseless tragedy that took place yesterday. All we can do is pray for the families and others who are so affected by this. Last night I went dress shopping again...and found...nothing. Well, there was one, but it was way out of my price range for something I will wear so…

I went shopping for a dress today and didn't find anything. I just don't know where to shop now that I don't have to go to the "women's" section. It seems like everything else is made for the 21 year olds. I did find one I liked...and it looked GOOD...except for the "love handles" that I still need to get rid of. Oh, well.…
