MFP has sucked since it changed ownership/management back sometime between 2012-2015. I don't know why I still use MFP. Maybe because I have a fleeting hope that I will wake up one day to find that MFP magically reverted back to the good old days with a news wall, community chat, lots of encouragement, no blogs, no premium…

Debbie -= I love the yellow tomatoes! Several years ago, my husband and I had "Lemon Boy" tomatoes in our garden. They were sooooo good. Michele in TX

Good morning all. It is actually 1:30pm in Texas and I have had a productive morning. I mowed the front and back yards, assembled a battery operated weed eater/trimmer (I purchased LAST summer) and used it sparingly in the yard. I'm still trying to get the hang of it. I have so much more yard work to do - primarily…

Good morning y'all. Yesterday was a good day. I logged everything and it didn't look too bad. I even took my dog Molly with me on a 2.2 mile slow (5mph) bike ride. Now, more about me. I am 63 (64 in June), married, Grammie to five grandbabies under 5 years old. I joined MFP in 2013 weighing 232lbs. I lost over 50lbs, got…

Bump. I was here when the original was posted. New to MFP, trying to figure out what worked and what didn't (raspberry ketones were the rage at that time). This post set me straight and to a 50lb loss in 18 months.

@exermom Yes, I am a "one L" Michele. My husband is a "two N" Glenn. I think that is kinda cool in a weird way.

Hello, I have been a member of MFP for about 12-13 years. But, after losing over 50 pounds in the first 18-24 months, life got busy again and I have been relatively inactive (esp after MFP was bought out several years ago - don't like the new format - loss of news feed - AT ALL). I have maintained a 30 pound overall weight…

I keep in mind my ultimate goal - a healthier and fitter me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I'm late to the party again. Put me in for 80 miles for November, and if it's not too late to update October total miles, please record my total miles of 61.38. November to date 11/02 - 3.83 11/03 - 3.87 11/04 - 3.94 11/09 - 3.87 MTD - 15.51

Please put me down for 45 miles in October. :)

09/30 - 2.58m total MTD - 30.5

09/22 - 1.15m ride w/ Molly 09/23 - 3.89m ride w/ Molly 09/28 - 3.33m ride w/ Molly 09/29 - 5.02m ride w/ Molly MTD - 27.99m Our average speed is about 5mph, so Molly gets a good loping run, and my knee benefits from the low impact workout.

09/12 - 1.6m bike ride w/ Molly 09/12 - 3.8m bike ride solo 09/16 - 3.3m bike ride w/ Molly 09/18 - 0.5m walk w/ Molly MTD - 14.6 PS - did I miss something? Did the news feed disappear?

Please add me for 30 miles for September. 09/02 - 2.1m bike ride w/ Molly (my 4-legged workout partner) 09/06 - 3.3m bike ride w/ Molly MTD - 5.4 miles

Please add me if it's not too late for August :) It has been quite a while since I have participated in this challenge (years, I think). I'm going to start with 30 miles this month.

Hello, I'm in the same boat. Just diagnosed T2 diabetic and know I need to reduce carbs and lose weight, but not been given the specifics of how many calories (I settled for BMR-250) and how many carbs. I am trying to see if my insurance will cover an appointment with a dietician or nutrionalist.

Hello, I want to lose about 60lbs (CW 200; GW 148) and have been recently diagnosed T2 diabetic. I am adopting a low carb (80g/day) diet and I LOVE seafood also.

Hello and welcome!

Iced tea is my favorite "water" drink. I make a pitcher of tea using 3 Luzianne family size teabags and 2 Luzianne "sweetened with Stevia" family size teabags. The tea is extra quenching in the summer Houston heat.

Hi, I'm Michele from Houston TX. I am 61 years young, 5'4" and currently weigh around 215. LONG time MFP member - since 2012 weighing 232lbs. Lost 50 lbs, reaching 181.0 in June 2014. Kept most of that weight off for a long time, but it has slowly crept up to 190-200 by 2020. Now, at 215, it is time to get back to MFP…

Please add me. Thank you
