Good Monday morning, ladies, Well, I made sure to get healthy snacks for Super Bowl, but did I control myself? :devil: Why, NO! There were just too many goodies for me to handle, and I ate WAY more than my share...chicken nuggets, chips & dips, dumplings, cheese, pepperoni & crackers, cookies, and more... :embarassed:…

OK...I'm a little slow on the uptake. I posted on the last thread and then realized there is a whole new one for February, so I copied the post above to this one.:huh: GOALS FOR FEBRUARY..... 1. I do not want to spend every day beating myself up for every tiny slip I make, so my first goal is always not to sweat the small…

Good morning and TGIF to all! The weather here has been crazy! Snow squalls, extreme wind and back to COLD again! :noway: I am itching for spring and was happy to hear our pastor say that Lent starts in less than two weeks, so I know spring will be here soon....I can't wait because I am sleeping with more and more…

This morning I had to put on a belt to hold my slacks up because they are officially too big for me!! Whoot whoot!!!:bigsmile:

OK....Update.....I sucked it up, put on my big girl pants, and told hubby about the car. :blushing: He just laughed and said "You know you suck at backing up your car, but I'm sure glad it wasn't MY car!". Anyhoo, the shop called, and it's fixed! :smile: They asked if they should put it on the bill, and at first I said…

Good morning, ladies, Confession time.....because I just HAVE to tell someone. Last night it was POURING and I had to drop my car off at the shop for an oil change. Hubby met me there to drive me home. I backed my car up, but couldn't see at all, and when I got out of the car, I noticed that I had backed up against a large…

Let's face it....everyone has a certain "type" that they find attractive. When I married my first husband, he was extremely thin. Over the years he steadily gained weight through compulsive behaviors until he was obese. Of course, there were other things that drove us apart, but I was not sexually attracted to him, and…

Good morning all, Well, it's hump day and I am off this Friday, so I've only got today and tomorrow in work. If you had asked me five years ago, I'd have told you that I loved my job and couldn't imagine retiring. Well, five years later, it's a different story. I don't know when it happened, but I am SO ready to retire. I…

Forget peri-menopause, I am IN menopause!:explode: And yes, my stomach, which used to be flat, is flat no more. I have a small paunch. Mind you, since I've lost weight, it's much smaller, but it is there. I guess if you work out hard you can change the shape of your body to a degree, but I just don't feel the need to have…

Good morning all, Just heard from my girlfriend who is still in Mexico....the vacation we missed.:angry: She's been sending me pictures (at my request), and I am longing for some warmth and sun.:glasses: Our weather has been so erratic lately. Tomorrow they are predicting a high of 62 and Saturday will only reach the 30's…

Good morning everyone, Boy, is this group getting popular! I haven't been on since last week and couldn't keep up with all of the posts. Family just left yesterday after being here to attend the funeral of my FIL. So sad, but nice to see everyone. A few of us got together for brunch on Sunday. How can you diet at brunch?…

US Clothing sizes have definitely changed over the years. When I was in my 20's (40 years ago), I wore a size 10. At that time I weighed around 115 pounds. Now at age 60 I weigh 123 pounds and wear a size 4 or 6 easily. Believe me, in NO WAY do I think I should be that size, but it is what it is. As we have gotten larger…

Good afternoon all, I love reading all the posts for inspiration and ideas. I've taken quite a few away for future use. Leaving work early today and taking off tomorrow for my FIL's funeral.:cry: This is the hard part. I feel so helpless to comfort my DH, DBIL, DSIL and DMIL. I know from past experience that keeping busy…

I like the Special K Cracker Chips. 15 Chips gets me through lunch at a mere 55 calories.

Hi and welcome! I am so sorry for your loss. I was a care giver for my mother for many years, so I know how devastating it can be to lose your loved one in that situation. I just turned 60 in December. There is a wonderful group that you will find under Motivation and Support for Ladies over 50. Feel free to join in for…

A friend told me once that since losing the weight I look older because my face got too thin. But this is the same friend who used to make faces behind my back and gesture that I was carrying a wide load. So I take it for what it's worth....nothing. I'm not doing this for him. I'm doing this for me. I feel better about…

Good morning ladies, I'm getting back into the groove of work and getting over the disappointment of not having a winter vacation this year.:grumble: Oh well, we are going to the Outer Banks in NC in August, so I have something to look forward to in the summer.:glasses: We have out of town guests who will be staying with…

Yep! Turned 60 in December, and reached my goal the same month. I was disappointed when I first started with MFP that it took so long to start losing.....I remembered when I was much younger losing big numbers the first few weeks....not so much after 50 (or 60!). But I was determined to lose the weight, so I stuck with it.…

Good morning ladies, Well, it's day two at work since I've had to cancel vacation, and I am starting to accept the fact that we will not be able to reschedule for this year. We thought we'd be able to make it there for week two, but the cost of flights has gone up so much, that it is impossible for us to justify spending…

i cry over almost anything that's either sad or happy. I always cry while watching any Christmas specials, or even some sentimental commercials. I pretty much cry weekly while watching Parenthood. I cry at lots of movies, but the worst had to be Terms of Endearment, where I cried so hard for about an hour after the movie…

Good morning, ladies, :heart: Thank you everyone for your condolences and prayers. Besides the stroke, my poor FIL also had altzheimer's, so he didn't even know what was happening. It must have been so scary for him! I'm sure he is now at peace.:cry: :grumble: I am bummed to be back at work on what they are predicting to…

Good evening ladies, I didn't have time to read the posts, but wanted to check in. We've had a change in plans. We were supposed to leave this morning for a two week vacation in Mexico, but Frank's (DH) father passed away Saturday night, so we cancelled our trip. His dad had a stroke about three months ago, and has been in…

Good Friday morning ladies, Thanks to all of you for your support and positive wishes. I put on my big girl pants yesterday and had that meeting with my bosses, and guess what? They actually LISTENED! I got to say everything that was on my mind, and they agreed that I made some good points. Nothing concrete yet, but they…

Good morning ladies, Today is the last day for work before I go on vacation for two weeks. Can't wait to get to sunny Mexico where we will be celebrating our four year anniversary. Today is the day of the dreaded "meeting" I've asked for with my bosses to address some issues over the changes that have taken place over the…

:flowerforyou: Congratulations, CricketsGirl!!! You are on the right path. I wish you continued success! You will find lots of advice on MFP. Feel free to try anything, and if it works for you, stick with it. If not, just leave it be! The first time I weighed myself before starting with MFP was on Wednesday afternoon at…

OK. This might sound stupid, but I checked in the exercise database for sex and it isn't there, so how where are you getting your information from?
