I don't know if I'm fired or not. Last week I was unable to log in as I was off-island and away from home because my sweetie had surgery. I brought him home and got sick and didn't have the energy to log in. I'll understand if I'm out. I'm on the mend, so will be paying attention this week and easing into my workouts and…

Looking forward to this!

Hi, I'm Charlene, I need two total knee replacements, but I want to get into the hundreds. I was up to 300 a few years back and lost eighty pounds, but gained back forty. Now I want to get back to where I was and then some. I am my own worst enemy. I pretty much blew off last year but am off to a great start this year!…

I was hoping someone might want to get a "Strong Women Stay Strong" Group together. I've gained back almost half the weight I've lost and have two bad knees and think this will be what gets me back on track. Any takers????

Why are you ashamed? Don't worry what other people may think. Their opinions don't matter and they probably aren't even looking at you. Wear what you want and feel good in. Your legs and body look healthy, be glad you can walk and when you are twenty years older, you will be wishing you showed them off more!

Eat dark chocolate. It is good for you - in moderation. I lost over 45 pounds eating dark chocolate chips almost every day last year. Check out the Flat Belly Diet - you can eat chocolate, nuts and avocado! Good luck! We all have our bad days, so don't beat yourself up.

Hi Everyone, and Happy 2014! I've been a member of MFP for a little over a year. I lost 40 pounds, but gained 19 back. I plan on losing those 19 and about 40 more this year! I quit tracking my food last June and the pounds started creeping back. I'm 55 years young and need two total knee replacements - I want to put the…

I love waffles! I use the Nutra Grain Whole wheat granola with berries (from the freezer section) and put Nutella on for the syrup! I'll check out the recipe you posted. I hope they come out real tasty for you!

Karendee4 Hopefully the added calories and protein take that hunger away! I was hungry all day yesterday. I eat walnuts when I get hungry. I take the half cup applesauce containers and use them as a easy measure.

Today was my NSV Day! I did some major deep cleaning around the house for over four hours! Since my health has deteriorated in 2007, I haven't had the energy to clean house like I should. I have a lot more to do, but today was a major accomplishment for me. My legs are sore and I must have sweated out a couple pounds of…

This week I Pampered myself on Sunday when I was in pain - I did some beading and read magazines and tried not to move. Pretty pathetic, but it felt good to me. For gardening day I have been watering more this week, as it has been pretty warm here. While watering, I did more weeding than usual and cut some nice sweet pea…

This last week hasn't been a good one for me (arthritis in knees), so hopefully this next one will be better. Sorry if I didn't come through last week with the challenges, or even the morning movements and evening cool downs - I just didn't want to move. Next week I have a fasting blood draw and a follow up doctor…

This was a very painful week - I am so disgusted with this arthritis in my knees! Thursday was appreciate Nature day - I listened to the birds and took lots of pictures of the Ocean Spray that is blooming everywhere around our house. Friday was Music appreciation day - I listened to sirrus radio, Deep Tracks and went back…

Karendee4 - I think we all need a break sometimes, and it sounds like you're back on track! I'm doing my leg toning today at the pool by doing extra high leg water walking in the shallow end and in the deep end, from the side, more knee lifts, leg lifts and stretches. I'm doing my family day tomorrow, as we are heading out…

I'm posting early, as I am heading out tomorrow for vacation. I did the Pamper Yourself Day on Sunday - I really kicked butt Saturday around the house and mowing the lawn, so I just took a day to relax and pamper myself with catching up on reading my magazines and doing Kumihimo braiding. For Make a Friend Day - I reached…

One of my favorite movies is: "I Love You to Death" with some of my favorite actors, including, Kevin Kline, Tracy Ullman, River Phoenix, William Hurt, Keenau Reeves, Joan Plowright, and Victoria Jackson (and many other familiar faces!). It is also based on a true story for my neck of the woods, Tacoma, Washington. This…

Hi Everyone! Thanks for letting me join at this late date. I really need this to get me back on track! I've already met a few Campers, and am looking forward to meeting and interacting with more of you! I really like the way this group is set up with the weekly check-ins! Thanks again, MudflatMabel (aka: Charlene)

Hi Everyone, I just joined this group, so I appreciate you letting me in. This morning I weighed in at 238.3. When I started MFP in December 2012, I weighed 284, so I am happy with my progress, so far. It took me a while to celebrate my weight loss, as I was so scared that it would come back. I am finally at a point where…

I'm on vacation now, and there is no scale. When I left home, I was at 238, but with what I have been eating lately, I would put my weight back at 241. I will be back home next week, and will be able to get back into my regular gym routine. My goal is to be as close to 220 as I can get by September 15! I have been stuck in…

“The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.” - Michelangelo I love this quote! I just woke up, so haven't done the crunches, yet.

I was at the pool today, did an hour of water aerobics, then seven laps for the large and three extra!
