Good morning/afternoon! Well my "official" weight in stayed the same at 1.5 down so I'm a happy camper. It's so hard to lose weight when 4 of your meds cause weight gain and peri-menopause doesn't help either. 15# down from January 3 is incredible to me and I'm so happy that I found MFP and this group. You are all…

I won't have it done for the opposite reason, I've had too many surgeries to ever want another one again!

Count me in Mollie, my WI day is Thursday, no sweat to change it up one day. :)

if it's not in the db here it would be on fitday :smile: Good for you on the snow shoveling, that kills my back!

That sounds like a wonderful walk and a great way to relax and rest your brain.

I hear ya, TOM has been very hit or miss for me also. I just wish it would be over and done with! I agree with the statement that it makes it hard to lose weight. :smile:

Good for you, you'll do great at the gym!

Good morning (or afternoon depending on your time zone) :laugh: The weather here is crazy! Thunderstorms last night, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and then snow again. Where did spring go? Feeling much better today so it's back on the bike (stationary recumbant in the office bike :smile: ) The scale showed me down 1.5, but…

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!

Tuesday testing: get back on that bike! 4 times in this week minimum. KatzPawz - Can I come with you on your 5 mile walk LOL L - Thanks for your posts and your sharing, I love what and how you write. I wish I could express myself half as well. Linda - Great 1st page and thanks so much for everything you have done to put…

Jolene, congratulations on your grandson, I know what you mean by the newness smell. My grandson is 5 and I so miss the baby stage (not that I don't love the stage he's in now) :) What an awesome family you have now. Here's the funny thing; I am bi-polar and when my meds are working right and my mood is good, I have no…

Sorry ladies, I'm out of it today, I'll post a longer post tomorrow (see what I mean?) Hugs to you all!

Not too much, it's a marker of how much I've lost. I've got batwings and the girls have gone south :) but Spanx and a good bra can take care of some of that. Some of the extra skin will go away, but getting and being healthier is a small price to pay. Linda - thanks for all the work you have done, this is a great group and…

good afternoon ladies, Still sick, worse than yesterday, I've been in bed all day. This is the 1st time I've been on-line. Just wanted to catch up on the posts. I'm sitting here in the sunbeams with the cats in the living room, it's so nice and warm and fluffy :) @Katzpawz - I'm so jealous! I'm a total Anglophile and going…

Wonderful words, beautifully expressed. Thank you. :love:

oh, before I forget, has anyone ever checked out www.skinnytaste.com? Her recipes are delish! She posts calories (and I've noticed a lot of them are already in the database here)

Good evening, I've been down with a cold all day, coughing and hacking. I got to feel better soon, it's the weekend! @ Christy - Isn't it amazing how our tastes change? @ Linda - I put fat-free milk in my oatmeal and coffee in the morning, other than that I rarely drink it anymore. We don't get a lot of sunshine in the…

Joanna - I love asparagus, I'll have to try that with my eggs next time. I also agree with Facebook, I'm checking this thread a lot more than FB. :) Friday food day - With the snow almost melted around the grill I'm looking forward to another season of firing up the charcoal. Here's my favorite grill recipe. Question, how…

Hello everyone, I printed off the sheet with everyone's name on it but one of the cats is lying on it. So, do I wing it or do I disturb the cat!? :laugh: Well, David brought home Chinese, I had vegetable fried rice and it was worth it! Haven't had it in a long time. L - great job on the sweets, I haven't found a doughnut…

Hi ladies, Just a quick check-in before going to help at senior bingo at my mother's complex. It's fun and the ladies and gentlemen are so sweet. It's Thursday Triumph day! I've now gone 2.5 weeks without eating out. I think the streak might break tonight, though, depending on how busy we are. Have a great St. Patrick's…

My daughter has fibro, she went gluten free last year and that has helped some (shedding 50lbs didn't hurt either). She uses the WiiFit Plus and is slowly starting to exercise again. She was on Lyrica (can't afford it anymore) and that helped her trremendously. Have you tried it? If so, did it work for you? Be super…

My diary is open to friends only. The caveat being that I just changed the meals around so it looks funky :) I don't mind people looking and posting suggestions on how I can do better, sodium is my bugaboo.

Good Wednesday morning everyone! Wednesday Weigh In and Exercise day- Everyone post what there losses or gains were for the week. What have you been doing for exercise this week, DVDs, walking, gym etc and what you like about it what you don't like about it Yeah Hopeful on the 4lb loss! :smile: My weigh-in day is Thursday…

Hello everyone, my name is Sue and I'm from Muskegon MI. I'm married to a wonderful man who has stuck with me through some very tough times. We have 3 cats (photos in my bio) they are my babies as our baby is going to be 27 soon. (I feel so old!) And her baby is going to be 6! Yikes, where has the time gone? I love to…

Good Idea, I put my name in my sig :)

I have arthritis in my lower back and I have to say the best exercise I've found is a recumbant bike. Also make sure you have really good shoes, I wear Asics athletic shoes.

Make the challenge "new" every day, that way you don't lose interest. If you concentrate on one day at a time, it makes it that much easier.

I would love to see a day where we post NSV's, it doesn't have to do anything with food or exercise (though it can!) but something positive. I also agree with short challenges, I just finished a personal 2 week no-eat-out challenge. It was hard but worth it!

I am so in! I'm 48 and have lots to lose :) Please send a fr if you want.

I was just going to start a post like this :) I'll send a FR
