Sure can! 😊 I love sharing recipes. Is there anywhere in particular that we share those types of things?

Thanks for the invitation 🙂 I've been so busy at work and home lately so please forgive me if I forget to peek in very often. I try to log every day, and make most of our meals from scratch. I have always had it tough trying to lose weight, but believe that menopause has much to do with the added difficulties this go.…

Hey there! I'm 54 and also trying to do a map reboot so to speak. Lost 30 something before, life happened, knee surgery, weight regained plus some. I forget how to add friends on here! Add me if you like!

Hello everyone. I'm back after a long hiatus of knee surgery and subsequently gaining back all the weight I'd lost and then some. My small steps are to make a point to stay active with on purpose exercise albeit lower impact than before! I am also upping my protein intake (or trying to), and have lowered my carbs. The…

Oh and please feel free to friend me. I need all the inspiration I can get.

Thanks yall. I'll definitely check out the Garmin Venu 2!

Again?!

The only way that I could see not going to the wedding is if that is a specific request from the bride and groom. (Perhaps they want a very small and intimate wedding.) I've never heard of attending only a reception otherwise.

Bumping as I'd like to know the answer to this too!

Two things that I noticed after starting logging on mfp were that there aren't quite as many calories in most foods as I thought (probably because I had no idea that I was able to eat as many as I'm allotted here) and the other thing that absolutely amazed me was the crazy amount of sodium that many things seem to have.

Bumping in hopes of seeing some wonderful new recipes. :bigsmile:

These gosh darn stubborn as heck thunder thighs. Uuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggh! :sad:

Maybe try melting some really good cheese over some veggies?

My fourteen year old daughter's friend asked, "So where is the pic of you and your mom?" after seeing a pic of us. He thought I was her older sister! Okay, maybe not weight or size related but it still made me feel SWEET!

Definitely what everyone else is saying concerning minerals and water, but if you've only recently began exercising regularly perhaps a good stretching afterward for a cool down might help.

Just do what you have to do so that you look and feel the best that you possibly can. Don't wait for the support of others. Do this for you. I can relate to your personal issues at home and if you need someone to talk to p.m. me. :flowerforyou:

A butt load of cakes? Can't really blame anyone for wanting their cake and eating it too! Hmmm.... have a party of course! What doesn't go at the party, send home with others. One night of indulgence and then work your *kitten* off for the next few days.

Ahahahaaaa! There are so many funny ones in here. If I had to pick, mine would have to be when I was at the beach (quite some time ago) and I was wearing a strapless one piece. These two guys walk up to me and one of them asks me, "Hey...is that your cat?" I just rolled my eyes and gave them the old, "whatever" because the…

5' 7" Bust: 42 Waist 31 Hips 41 Weight 175 Ultimate Goal is around 150 (I think) I'll see whether or not its more or less when I get closer to the goal.

No as I cannot afford to use a paid site. This is why I'm here. If MFP begins charging, there are other sites from which to choose. It would be a sad day however as I've gotten used to this site. :cry:

Absolutely agree with the idea that people who are married need to realize that it is a working commitment to a special partnership. Experiencing the world together, then closing rank when the world threatens to invade is what its all about!

I'm from up north originally, but transplanted down here in NC to live with my hubs. I was amazed by the caloric content of most foods here especially the greens! Experimenting with the flavors of maybe not so healthy (ok no maybe about it) favorites has become a favorite hobby of sorts. For instance, I've found that if I…

I feel especially sexy when my husband flirts with me, gives me "that look" and... :blushing: :bigsmile: :blushing:

This last one was onion, garlic, celery, freshly chopped kale, bacon bits, kale and of course...eggs! Edited: Wow...did I say kale twice???? I guess I'm really liking the stuff!

bumpydoodle!

Kale chip sandwich. LOL I know what you're probably thinking, but with bacon bits and a bit of mayo its amazing!!!!

mix yolks with a bit of mayo, mustard and black pepper...top with...crumbled bacon of course! :bigsmile:

Hiking, fishing, running, people watching or reading a good book at an outdoor cafe, farmers market trip...the list goes on.

Great news, thanks for sharing!! :flowerforyou: Congratulations!
