Hi! I'm 62, I started MFP in Nov. 2010 and lost 65 lbs. in a year and a half. Over the next 4 years I gained almost 30 back by getting lazy with logging - I thought I'd learned how to control my eating but obviously not!! Things got really bad after my mom became ill and passed away, whew, that was beyond difficult. Yep, I…

I have a small Blue Heeler and a rough-coat Jack Russell. Both breeds are super smart, heelers can be a little more intense than the comical terriers. They both require lots of training, lots of exercise! Heelers like to nip, terriers like to bark! They keep me busy, I love every minute with them...well, most minutes, lol.…

Forgot to mention one of my favorite things to grow... edamame! There's nothing quite like same-day picked and boiled or steamed edamame. Deeeeeeeeelish! We stagger the plantings in order to have harvest for about a month.

Hey, great post! :) We've just started our peppers from seed, under grow-lights. We make our own chili powder, diced green chilies (canned) and roasted peppers (frozen) for casseroles, hummus and salsa. Today I'll be sowing celery and lettuce in little starter pots, and it's time to sow spinach & peas directly in the…

Connie, @lovesretirement GREAT post. I hurt my knee a year ago doing too many jumping jacks, thinking I could fly & flap my wings into fitness. Uh huh, you guessed it, I've spent the last 12 months hobbling around, nerve damage, tingling down the leg. Just last week I was able to start doing 30 minutes of aerobic dance in…

Once I start with popcorn I can't stop! How anyone can eat just a cup is beyond me. It's an excellent scrub-brush for the system, though, so your bod should feel nice & cleaned out today LOL :)

Calm, you're doing a very good thing for yourself. Cyber hugs to you, as well. I share a similar spare tire, one that I don't want or need, so it's time to watch it go flat. I'd like it to deflate overnight, believe me. It's taken me awhile to get off my high horse and bow down to logging every day again, aiming to lose a…

Me: 6 LNS: 2 Streak: 2 After Friday night's senseless snacking shenanigans I decided to start doing something with my hands at night, so for the last two nights I stayed busy creating a little art project at my desk. Worked wonders to keep my mind off of food. B)

Hey, hi! Good thread here. I'm 61, lost 65 lbs. in 2011 & 2012. Maybe I didn't appreciate it quite enough - gained back 15 over the last 3 years (got lazy with logging), then another 5 just since Oct. when my mom became ill and passed away at the end of Nov. Emotions and grief got the best of me, but I'm doing much better…
