@pamperedlinny: Your Mexican corn salad looks very good!! I know what you mean about how easy 10# can come back on. Its so easy to get away from tracking. When I am doing good... I tend to not track, and thats when I also need to. And then when I'm not doing so well.. well.. then I don't want to track either!! I am…

I know it has been like forever since I've been on here! Its not that I don't want to .. just the days get away from me. And... to be truthful... to kickstart myself, I did find another website where I am tracking calories, and it has helped me. It is called "lose it", but what I like was that it was like a fresh start for…

Posting goals on here today.. to keep myself accountable. I've been SO busy working in the yard.. but loving this weather! I planted so many flowers .. I had 15 trays of flowers that I started from seed.. all blooming and wanting to get outside! I gave a flat to a dear friend, and gave another friend enough for her flower…

Haven't been on here for awhile .. this time of year I am so busy with yard work.. which I love! I walk a lot. .. and spend a good portion of my day gardening, then sewing quilts in the evenings. I have 4 quilts made for a organization called Heavenly Beds. they make beds for little kids ages 3-17 that do not have a bed to…

Great job @Bex!!! And .. your in the 170s!! Thats a good feeling. Have fun shopping!!

Super busy day today, and I am SO tired! I will try and read back through the posts tomorrow. Today at 9 they delivered 5 cubic yards of compost for my flower beds. I have a little wagon .. but its still shoveling all this into my wagon.. pulling it to the backyard.. shoveling it out of the wagon and spreading it on my…

@cschmitz110515 and @PackerfaninGB ... OH MY!!! The snow pictures are beautiful, and I knew up north you guys were getting snow! We got about 3" of rain .. thankfully it was not snow. I know I, and so many, are SO ready for spring. But .. you've got to enjoy those beautiful pictures.. just hope it goes away soon! Funny, on…

Went again to find my goals ,, only to find out I did not post last nite. But .. today was the half marathon from H*** that my daughter ran. Yesterday, we got almost 3" of rain. I knew the half marathon was on whats called the katy trail.. which is a biking trail, and in many places, has rock on it. We got to the race at 8…

Super tired today .. but I did a lot of gardening. At age 72, its so much harder than it used to be, and frustrates me .. my mind still thinks I am 30! But it was a beautiful day to be outside! JFT, Thur 1. log all food 2. concentrate on water 3. brush teeth ... watch the evenings.. thats when I get into trouble! 4. go for…

This is great @Bex!!!!! I don't think I could ever do a push up.. much less by accident!! :D

Goals for tomorrow, Tues 1. log all food :) 2. concentrate on water :s 3. evening .. brush teeth after dinner; carry water bottle with me :s 4. out to eat with friend .. choose a salad with healthy dressing :) Had chicken salad .. no wine! 5. go to gym :) Heading to bed soon.. but wanted to get goals posted tonite for…

Oh .. you are making me want to get back to zumba! Before covid I went 2-3x a week, but stopped with covid, and just have not gotten back into it. Yes.. it is quite a workout, but also so much fun. I'll have to look for the zumba challenge. I am so much like you also. When I am doing good, there is no stopping me. But all…

Gosh ... still can't find my goals! If I don't get on here in the evenings have a hard time during the morning hours. Today we went to Sams,and for $2.50 you get 2 large pieces of pizza and a drink. Ha.. its so good! But I planning on either eating nothing for dinner or very little .. instead, ended up eating another 1.5…

This is what I am trying to do! My hubby and I don't really eat "breakfast" until around 11 am since I go to the gym in the morning, and if I can just stop eating by 7 or 8 I know I could lose some weight. I am trying to carry my water bottle with me in the evenings to do this! Good luck to you!

You might want to check into the Good Feet store. My husband had plantas facsis, and had such a hard time walking. He went in, and they had him walk with one of their soles .. it was unbelieveable. He still wears them to this day. The arch support is what he really needed. A while back my feet were hurting, but I was lucky…

I am a week into logging my food everyday .. and it is sure hard to stay within my calories. I eat a lot of fruit, eggs, etc, that are low in calories. But those calories still add up! Last week I had 2 days where I went so over, but I am down just 1.6 this week. The hard part is that since January.. my weight is up and…

@PackerFanInGB I think you are right in your goals ... be realistic. The housework can wait .. taking care of your health is most important! Yes .. I am hoping to still make quilts for nieces * nephews .. just not all at once!! I have SO many quilts I need to give to someone though .. they are taking up so much closet…

@cschmitz110515 Have a great visit with your parents! You are so fortunate to have them still in your life. Enjoy your time away! @PackerFan001 -- Congrats on the weight loss! You are doing awesome!!! jennysweet58 - I know when I am tired I have to be careful! Why is it when we are tired we just want to snack.. I know I am…

Once again.. forgot to even set my goals. But .. today was so much better. I haven't honestly tracked food for awhile .. you know.. the days I didnt do so well, just stopped tracking. Now.. I am trying to honestly track every bite.. and no wonder I have not been able to lose weight! HA .. I'm eating to maintain my present…

So cute!!! Have fun!

@PackerFan001 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Thurs, 3/16 1. go to gym. DOne that .. plus took a 2 mile walk in the rain. But, it is 59 degrees out .. and suppose to get very cold tomorrow. :) 2. log all food >:) Went totally off track today .. so much that I didn't even log it. But ... its one day. 3. concentrate on water >:) 4. work on quilt :) JFT, Fri 1. late…

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Bex!!!! I hope Ash and the girls spoil you today!

I want to respond to so many ... but it would take me all nite! But love all the new posters .. and all the discussions on here! @jennysweet58 - thank you for your encouragement with my daughter with mental illness. She is 45 now, and hers did not start until her mid 20s. (Diagnosed with schizoaffective, which occurs in…

JFT, Wed 1. log all food :) 2. concentrate on water :) 3. zoom call with daughter and her doctor.. hoping to get some help for her. I have called all around to try and find another psychiatrist that does in person visits .. they all do telehealth. I hate that.. so we'll keep the same doctor for now, but we will be in on…

Been so busy that I haven't gotten a chance to catch up.. but I love all the new posters on here! We all learn from each other! I've been trying so hard this week to log all my food.. and it makes me realize how bad my eating has become. This week I am trying to pick healthier selections, and eat less, but I am still going…

That is way too much snow!!! We have been so lucky.. I live near St Louis, and this winter, we have been in a bubble it seems. We had only 1 snowfall all year.. and it was less than 3". Hoping we get through the rest of winter without it.. but boy.. you guys, and my family in Iowa and Michigan are really getting hit hard…

Welcome new posters! Happy to have you join us! JFT, Sunday 1. log my food :) 2. concentrate on water :) 3. shoot for calories of 1500.. not too low that I overeat, but I think at my height, 1500 might help me lose? I know as we get older metabolism slows down.. but if 2300 means I maintain, hoping 1500 would mean I might…

Trying to get on here at nite.. because during the day, I just don't take the time. I've been quilting all day.. making childrens quilts that will go to little kids, and using up some of my cute kid fabric. But I ran to the store.. and HA.. ended up with orange candy slices and easter peeps in my cart. Mindless shopping…

Posting goals to keep accountable! I just don't seem to get on here each morning like I should .. and evening gets past and I don't post then either! So have to come up with a better routine! 1. log all food 2. concentrate on water 3. no snacking tonite except protein shake 4. be better today that I was yesterday.. healthy…
