Toasting my hot chocolate and dahlia to you both. Happy holidays.

Hmmm, I had Thanksgiving dinner IRL. I had decided that I was going to do it but not over do it. Up 2 pounds the next day. I'm hoping it is just salt. Now back to splurging only in the cafe. We have frost in the morning, but it's above freezing. It's easy to bundle up and go for a walk and not slip. In the cafe, I'm…

Happy almost Thanksgiving. Hubby and I are doing a Turkey Trot tomorrow. I'm walking and hubby is running. Then dinner with friends. Hope the weather cooperates for both of you tomorrow.

Congratulations 🎊

We had more rain today. It's not tht cold but the damp just creeps into your body. I'd like to sit by the fire and roast my tootsies with a cup of hot cocoa and oatmeal raisin cookies.

Good thought provoking question, at least for me. I cruise by to read your LTL topics. This one was particularily good. My goals are too stay on program for these 5 weeks and beyond. December can be tough due to the social events with food and drink. I need to have a plan for social events and not stand next to the food…

I wanted to respond to your isssue with sugar. I go with "no added sugar". I eat fruit that has lots of sugar. I find that with sweets, I'm better with out of sight out of mind. We don't have it in the house. I step away from sweets at people's houses. If I eat sugar, I want more sugar. I'm having pie and ice cream at…

IRL we were hit by the southern edge of the atmospheric river so we got about 7" of rain and no walking. Today is dry so time for a long walk. I will then hit the cafe for my post walk hot tub and hot coca with peppermint schnapps Linda must live in Vermont? Zzyyggy must live in Charlotte? I live in California about an…

There are a lot of plans already put together. Look at Eating well. They have plans for 1500 calories a day, 1800 a day etc.

Counting calories means there is little room for wine for me. I have the occasional glass and enjoy it. IRL I've given up added sugar, red meat, pork, reduced fat ... Thank god that coffee has no calories to speak of. It's my last vice. Now back to the cyber cafe. My favorite food is vegetarian pizza. I'd like a thin crust…

I don't have those things in the house. If I'm somewhere else, I try to delay it drinking 12 oz of water or eating an apple. I tell myself that I can have whatever after I drink the water or something. Sometimes it works.

Linda, So funny that you had alcohol as a child. some people think that you have alcohol as a child, you will grow up to be a drinker. I have noticed that you and ZZYYGG have cola instead of alcohold in the cafe :wink: yes, I read that it was just a tiny bit in the parfait.

Shall I have a mudslide with ice cream or a grasshopper with ice cream? I'll have this on the terrace. In real life, I have a sore throat. Craving something cold and soothing.

Looking for Thanksgiving ideas. Just get too hungry. Need to wait until after I eat

I'm 5'3" and weigh about the same. I walk 4 miles a day. I'm eating 1200 calories a day and have lost 1 lb a week for the last 4 weeks.

congrats

IRL, it's getting frosty overnight. After our heat wave of 107 this summer, I'm ready for cooler days. I'm going to the cafe and just having ice cream.

It's hard, no doubt about it. I do all of the things mentioned above. I often get a salad entree with grilled chicken and dressing on the side. I dip my fork a little way into the dressing and then stab the salad. My other choice is a vegetarian omlette with salad instead of potatoes. The other is portion control. Some…

Welcome, hope it works out well for you.

I'm hitting the hot tub. I'll order a slushy pinot.

Happy Birthday zzyyggy. Today is Veterans Day. I was going to take hubby out for Thai food but changed it to lunch. We shared a bowl of soup and a chutney salad wrap. So at the Cafe, I'm having Thai with carryout for hubby. IRL, hubby is so supportive.

Congratulations on being down 30 lbs.

The serious side effects are rare but terrible. You also have to take the shots forever if you can't change your eating habits. It is expensive

IRL, the weather here is great for walking with fleece; went for a 3 mile walk. Lunch was spinach salad with chicken, feta, red pepper etc. Stepping into the Cafe for a mud sludge on the patio.

I'm back, it is cool and windy outside. How was the mac and cheese IRL? I had chickpea posole last night IRL. (In Real Life). Contemplating laying in the sun for awhile.

Congratulations 🎊

Congratulations 🎊

Hi all, I'm looking for a recommendation on what group to join. I'd like something that is about 50% weight loss and 50% chatty. I regained 20 lbs since the last time I was on MFP, sigh. I walk about 4 miles a day. I do about an hour of mild exercises each day for my shoulder (In PT, post surgery) Any recommendation?

Hi Lindaz and zzyyggy, I just tumbled in from the cold. It's nice and warm in here with lots of sunshine. I'm going to sit in the sunroom next to the indoor pool. Please send the pool boy over to take my order. Trying to decide what kind of a drink with an umbrella I'll have. Of course I have to have pizza and a glass of…

Try brushing your teeth before the witching hour.
