In September, I'll get in 8000 steps every day.

@RodaRose... Your 'Ugly Tomato' looks a bit like the 'Tlacolula' I'm growing this year: https://www.google.be/search?q=tlacolula+tomato As a member of a 'LETS' community (Local Exchange and Trade System), I swap a part of my harvest for other goods/services. And I dry part of my harvest, and cook a tomatosauce for the…

@RodaRose - I've a greenhouse with 35 different tomatoes (most heirlooms), we have too much zucchini to eat them all, and our green beans always give us a decent harvest. And this summer, our sweet corn is abundant...

A bit of an oldie too... I'm turning 55 next month. 155 cm (5'1") and struggling to maintain my weight below 52 kg (115 lbs). This is a normal bmi of course, but my lower half still looks huge... (For us shorties the 'new bmi' is said to be more realistic - https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/bmi_calc.html ) I hope…

Hello you all... I'm a returning member of this group (I think at least it was this group I was in a few years ago...) I'm Ann, from Belgium, so my native language is Dutch which might explain my weird way of expressing myself. (I think my English is pretty decent, maybe better than the average knowledge of Dutch here in…

If you want a free alternative for Headspace, try Insight Timer. It's not so 'instructional', but has literally thousands of guided mediations in many languages and different styles. It also has its 'groups', and you can connect with friends So I jumped right into a discussion without properly introducing myself... I will…

And... your before/after pics really are amazing!

I try to explain, but my primary language is Dutch, so I don't know if you can understand my english explanation. The problem in your post was, that you used the URL of the entire page, instead of the URL of the picture. I pasted the URL from your post in the address-bar of my browser, and went to the page where the…

I'll try to help you out... Picture 1 Picture 2

Me too, I posted here earlier, but I've been 'away' for a few months... didn't feel like logging every day, and indeed, slowly my weight crept in the wrong direction. Luckily I was able to climb back on the bandwagon at only 2 kg (4 lbs) over my 'goal-zone', but since I started logging again just before christmas, I was…

If you let us now the exact date/time, some of us might run together with you, or at least think of you... (I'll try too, but since I'm in a very different timezone, chances are I would have to run in the middle of the night... I love running in the evening, but not after midnight...)

I really eager to see some pictures!

Looking for some more maintenance friends that aren't 'exactly in their twenties' anymore... I'm Ann, from Belgium, celebrating my 51st birthday next week. I'm 5'1'' and just 100 lbs. I lost 23 lbs (that sounds much more than the 11 kgs I lost) over the past few years. I know that 100 lbs sounds unhealthy, but according to…

My goal is to maintain my weight and to keep running thrice a week. I would like to add: 'and to log daily', but probably I won't have internet access in the third week of september... And next week we're changing our internet provider, which will probably mean no internet access for two more days...
-
I think you're right we're not very active here on this forum, but many of us have found good friends here, and know each other more through mutual comments on 'personal' activities... How I'm doing? Well, I'm on that point that I have to change from losing to maintaining weight, and that's not so easy sometimes... I guess…

Welcome Kathy... There really are some terrific ladies here in this group....

Yuck... It's only now that I see that spelling error in my last sentences... 'Now you know' of course... And I DID IT... I went for a run, if only for 4km instead of 5km. During my run, my nose already felt better, and I didn't have that stuffed head anymore. At the moment, not a sign of a cold or an allergy, so maybe that…

Hi Ladies... The last days of August are approaching... How has everyone been doing so far? You still have a few days to do some fine-tuning... As for me: My first goal was to maintain my weight despite our vacation in Croatia. This went rather well, at this moment I'm about 0.5 kg under my initial weight. My second goal…

And suggestions for meals... We're vegetarian (eat sometimes some fish), and when I know that I will be home after six, I prepare a chili-'sin'-carne the day before, and only have to cook some rice or quinoa when I come home. Beandishes are easy to freeze, so they're very convenient to have in the freezer for those days...

Actually, it's just a myth you shouldn't eat after 6 pm, 7 pm, 8 pm... Of course, when you eat a really salty dish in the evening, and have to drink a few bottles of water, that'll show on the scale the next morning. But... If during a month you eat your calorie-budget all before noon, your weightloss or -gain (depending…

Fantastic! That's really great... When something like that happens, it's a reward in it's own...

Something completely different? I love ancient music, and (as I'm Flemish?) am very fond of the flemish polyphonists of the 15th century. On of the songs I love the best is 'La Déploration sur la Mort d'Ockegem' (also called 'Nymphes des Bois') by Josquin des Prez[url] A good recording is ]this one on YouTube by the…

Well, I can imagine that some people feel irritated by a text like that of the OP, but I am really grateful... I'm not a native English speaker.. My first language was Dutch, and my second was French, so I was already 15 before I started learning English. And each time I want to write down lo(o)sing weight, I felt…

I guess the raspberry tea gives more a sour tang to the water than a sweet taste... so this won't do anything wrong...

I asked this once a colleague of mine, a pediatrician, because our son hates milk about as much as I do. She told me that broccoli was an excellent source (which was, at that time among son's favorite vegetables). Other good sources should be: paksoi, tofu, sesamseed, rocket (Rucola? I don't know the right translation in…

I can't believe this to be acurate... I'm 51, and most bodyfat calculators gave me a fat% between 20-25%, my scale says 22% This calculater gives me a body fat % of 13.8 %.
-
I'm 5'1... But when I'm sitting next to someone who's inches taller, you couldn't tell who's the small one. My legs and arms are rather short, the rest is very average. I've a (very) slender waist, but heavy thighs and butt... This makes that even with my low weight of 46.5 kg (about 104 lbs), I don't feel comfortable…

Not strictly vegetarian: when our son started going to school, we started adding some fish or organic chicken to the menu once in a while. (We liked him to get used to the healthier kinds of meat, hoping he wouldn't be tempted by the more unhealthy choices of his palls. It worked...) Still... I find it much easier to cook…

It's not that strange... Diet Coke is sweet... When your brain recognizes a sweet taste, it signals your body to release insuline. As a result, your blood-sugar goes down, and you feel (and you are) hypoglycemic, so you crave for food, and are tempted to eat more... On the other hand, the elevated insuline 'helps' you…

Welcome Debbie, This is a very fine group of ladies... (I joined several groups, but in this one I seem to linger most often...) Feel free to add me...
