  • Life, funerals, and now marking has coopted my time with all you wonderful Vitamin F'rs ( gee, sounds vaguely rude!) BUMP for later....
  • Tried to catch up last night for a bit, off to funeral events all day..... have a good Saturday!
  • I am a little slow this week, catching my breath after a very busy week of travelling and a large family Easter feast to prepare..... all the step daughters, husbands, grandkids, cousins that we could round up! The Easter bunny is looking after us...my second DD, who has tried to be pregnant for 3 years, is carrying her…
  • Jane, so sorry about your dad's illness, and angry with you against the sloppy medical follow-up. Good luck to you both!
  • Good April's Fools Day to the Vitamin F here! Mother Nature made it warm and lovely for Easter and then dumped snow on us during the night! That Mother Nature likes her April Fool's jokes! Hope everyone has a good day, will come back later...off to work. Barbie, thanks for the thread management and the commitment to us…
  • HAPPY EASTER SUNDAY TO ALL... however you celebrate it, as a religious event, or a seasonal change, or as one of the earliest of mankind's markers as the sun moves north and nature begins its cycle! JB is in the garden...lucky gal! We are doing the family feast.....I am just going to be spare in the rich food category. And…
  • I hope everyone has had a good short week, and is enjoying some kind of early spring today! The snow just melted off the front garden yesterday and those reliable daffodils pushed up 3 inches today! I can finally see my deciduous huchera, those amazing, multi-coloured garden wonders that survive 3 feet of snow for months…
  • SAW my FIRST ROBIN TODAY.... heading out of town again, will hope to catch up tomorrow, Bumpity, bump...
  • Happy Monday and bump for later!

  • Good Morning Vitamin F and my personal B12's, I have been behind in catching up, and have read only the last few pages.... @Mary, I too am sorry for your loss, and I am grateful that you had your dad for such a good long time, especially since he was so sweet! You are so lucky to have a lifetime of good memories. I hope…
  • Happy St. Patrick's Day to the amazing March maters... I hope you all have a lovely day...... Last year it was so hot, we were in shorts, outside, cleaning up the yard, planning for the pool opening.....this year we just had another inch of snow. It is cold. If the sun comes out, I will be happier...blue is so much better…
  • Hey Jane, I tried to march in place and my Fitbit did not move at all! It does not count upper body movement either....whatever you were doing, it was great! I have only made it to 5000 steps on the day we did a laserquest game with the grandsons....I have come close, but would be just under...and too late or tired to do…
  • Ahh! The Ides of March day,,,,not so good for Caesar...but I am hoping it is all a great day for you! I have been unable to keep up with the posts, but will catch up on the weekend.... Meanwhile I am unsure whether I am celebrating, or mourning the loss of my first 165 days on MFP... Yesterday was the 165 th day of logging…
  • Hi everyone, thanks for the Fitbit advice, not sure if it helped Wesseg though! BJ
  • Hi! Slightly different issue with fitbit, perhaps someone more expert can answer both... I am wondering about the fitbit adding exercise calories...which don't seem warranted - to the MFP total.... Mine added 138 calories after a really busy day where I almost reached my walking step goal, but not my burn level, but the…
  • Thanks for sharing the info JB, and congrats on your scale and your enjoyment of the melon! I downloaded the pain book on my ipad too...your discussions helped me find a new source of dealing with my issues too! March is teasing us again, that old flrt, in with the warm for the last two days, now back to the cold with some…
  • good Monday Morning ladies, It is a PNW day here in SWOnt, rain, warm, drizzly and cloudy.....and yet because it is soo warm, spring will be here! hooray! I saw Quartet with DD2 while the guys watched hockey... and the movie is all about grabbing second chances to live life to the fullest, so it has some lovely moments.…
  • Happy Sunday, the real first air that feels like spring will be sprung from the depths of winter.....had door and window open for some fresh air flow, took out the Easter box, did the mantle , dining room, and family room fireplace with a few things....just because it gets too gloomy between Christmas and summer..... Hope…
  • Hi all, I have also read Eat to Live, and although I don't follow it religiously, the additional raw veggies, bean protein, and cooked veggies have helped. I did increase my fruit intake. I can't eat grain carbs, so I see it as a substitution....which works for gluten/grain sensitivities...... I also add some small bits of…
  • Good Wednesday Morning, I have been reading but not posting. Good luck, good planning, and good followthrough for today.....off to class. BJ, SWOnt.
  • bump...thought I lost you all there for a minute!
  • Kate: Ah, the ol' Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump! Southern Alberta shrine....hope you did not want to jump too! So sorry that you have had such a terrible few weeks....there is no getting around the fear of disease, is there? I am glad it all worked out... Thanks to everyone for their good wishes, I am feeling much better…

  • Happy Sunday to you all, I am just trying to catch up with some posts from being away for a week and there is so much going on... To those with colds and illness, take care of yourselves and get better....this year seems to have a very high inflection rate, it seems to go and return, and go and return..... To those on…
  • Bump, just back from short vacation, and got snowed in for a day too! Oh well, no hardship, the pool and hot tub were all mine!
  • Hi all, All of us who are suffering from other issues should expect that is often the reason for our weight gains...and I, for one, expect that all kinds of us have suffered other issues. I have had depressed times, I do have killer sciatica, and right now knees that just don't work....so if you are suffering, you have my…
  • I add it to meat or bean stews for depth of flavour and thickening without using rice, or potato.....and sometimes you can add curry spices to make a lowfat sauce for meats and veg....hope that helps
  • I hope you all had a great Valentines day...all good for Vitamin F, It was very strange to have Shrove Tuesday followed by Ash Wednesday, followed by Valentines Day! Has that ever happened in anyone's memory? We have been out for meals every day since Tuesday....and DH and I are looking forward to tomorrow, it will be the…
