Hi, I am in for another cycle. Thanks for starting this again. STARTING WEIGHT/DATE WITH MFP: about 175 on 8/19/12 (been here a long time, lol, but kinda off & on) Lost about 25 pounds, then pretty much maintaining, up a little, down a little, but would like to lose another 15 or so. Challenge starting weight: 144.2 I…

@deepwoodslady I will be thinking of you & praying for a great outcome! Try to relax & have trust in your Dr until then.

Thanks for starting this again. Guess I have missed a couple of months, but filled in with my Fitbit data. Sorry I am so late in joining!! June= 157.66 miles / 389343 steps (average 12, 978) this was aided by a week in Sweden where we did a lot of walking!! July goal = 341,000 steps (11,000 per day average) 7-1= 4.72 miles…

@mom23mangos I had to laugh at your comment about the cast. Our daughter (who is now 45!) also broke her arm at 2 & I had the cast for a long time. I think I got rid of it when we moved 5 years ago, lol. @Xellercin I have been thinking about living more simply with less “stuff”, so your post gave me a lot to think about!…

Hi all...dd & gkids are gone again, so back to normal for us. Been doing my treadmill walking & started some other "senior exercises", lol. Dh is over his Covid & says he feels fine. I never got it from him. @trooworld My gs had a stuffy nose at the time my dh had Covid, but dd kept testing him & he never tested positive.…

@theslightedgeforever So sorry you & dh now positive. Hope you get better quickly. I have had a headache for a couple of days, so retested again today, but still negative which is good with family here. Leaving for fireworks soon. @Tamevv Good job assessing how hungry you were before eating it just because you made it &…

@trooworld looked at that oatmeal recipe. That sounds delicious! Finally got an Instant Pot, so I might have to try it instead of my blueberry, walnut oatmeal that I usually eat, lol. Sorry about the headache, hope it gets better! @Tamevv Wow, Amazing how this app connects people from all over the world. I like the thing…

Hi all...been gone so long...just haven't felt like getting on the computer much. Not sure I can catch up with everything. We had our trip to Sweden & Norway 6-11 to 6-21 with Dd, sil, & the gkids. Dd & sil ordered a Volvo & they flew them there to pick it up. Can drive it a little, return it to Volvo & they ship it here…

Hi all.. weather is better today..finally quit raining! They say Mon we might hit high 80's. Wow...go from winter to summer, no spring! Lost internet awhile ago---they are putting a new electrical line through the easement in our back yard & nicked our cable/internet. Think they have it going again. I guess the new…

My sister & bil have been very successful on whole food plant based, no oil for almost 5 (?) years, even with an Alaskan cruise. Seem to be thriving. I am beginning to lean that way, but have a big trip coming up in June, so not committing to it yet. I am trying to avoid dairy to see how it affects my allergies & eating…

Trying to lower my LDL, it’s 107, but due to my age, the Dr advised statin. I asked to get a little longer to try to get it down, so she gave me 6 months, lol.

I feel ya…I don’t know what it is but when we visit dd I can’t seem to stop eating and forget the water, too.

Hi all...not much different going on here, lol. Still trying to walk on the treadmill each morning & have started a few exercises for core & balance, and bouncing on my rebounder. Weight dropping just a little. @cbabie I had to laugh when you said your sister might have gotten lost in her closet. Something I should be…
