So pretty!

Feeling really good right now with my workouts. I had been sick for a few weeks and it was such a struggle. I love the feeling when it breaks through and you're feeling strong and ready to go for some workouts. I think I'm back to that now. I go to the gym early in the morning, before work - some days I do cardio and some…

This thread was mentioned elsewhere, so I came over to check it out. Love the flower pictures! I'm 60, working on getting down the scale for the last time! 70 pounds down, about 50 to go.

Age 60 here. I am a repeat offender, but hoping to make this my last time going back down the scale, never to go back up!!! I lost about 70 pounds over the past year. I still have about 50 to get to my goal weight, and I feel like I will get there. Weight loss has slowed down these past months, but still going down.…

I'm loving my exercise routine. I try to get to the gym 5 days a week. Usually Elliptical 3 days a week, legs 1 day, and upper body 1 day. Today was upper body and I tried a couple of different machines. I think I'm going to be sore tomorrow. :smiley:

Agreed. I think the focus on food and weight management will never go away. I hit a goal I had for the end of December - yay! But over the rest of the holidays, I've managed to add 2-3 back. It's fine.... Just back on the tracking and thinking about it!

Love that quote BCLadybug!

Nic - I'm sorry about your cat. I would have said something sooner, but I didn't come on here yesterday. Our old, sweet dog died yesterday morning. I was super sad all day, so I just shut down for a bit. It is hard to see these sweet animals leave us. <3 Our Jake was special. He will be missed. However, looking forward to…

Yooly, heck yeah! That's a great NSV!

Is this new "Wonka" a story about Pav? ;)

Baked cookies over the weekend. Freezing the dough is a game changer for me!! They baked beautifully, and it made it so much easier having the dough all ready to go. That saved me so much time! I didn't get everything done yet because I still have some candy stuff to do, but I am very close! Thanks again, Yooly, for the…

Hey Yooly - So I froze my dough and figured that I would take it out of the freezer the night before baking day. Is that what you do? Glad you are close to getting the cast off!

Congrats! That's a great achievement and a great reason to lose weight. Love the deer photos! Hunting has to be easier now, too!

PAV - whew! I bet that got your pulse rate up!

Hi all. I've been lurking, as I said in a recent post. But I've been on myfitnesspal for many, many years. I lost a bunch of weight about 8 years ago (lost about 70 pounds), and then just lost focus (gained all but 3 pounds back) - mainly because of some medical issues with my husband (leukemia). He's doing better now, and…

Hi all. Well, I froze some dough this weekend! My son is not excited. He said, "You're experimenting with Christmas cookies? Do you think that's wise?" Ha! He can't wait for baking day. By the way, he's 27. :smile:
