Monday Share - Had a good w/e. Worked most of it but was able to stick to my diet plan and was under calories every day. Today was a rough one emotionally as its our Thanksgiving and I couldn't be with my family. I spoke to both my kids and video conferenced with my grandkids out west but it was pretty sad sitting down to…

Hi All, Welcome to the new people this week, sorry I've missed a few of you by being away this week. Hope you enjoy the support and friendship this particular site is so well known for. Great group if you're looking for new ideas and support. Today being Sunday its a day to share, so I'll start by saying Hi, I'm Charlotte.…

Hi All, Sorry I've been absent this past week. I fell off the wagon so to speak. I had a week off and had all kinds of things planned but got very little done including coming online to log. I didn't log in for almost the full week. No excuses just got lazy. Stayed up late and got up whenever. I did manage to get some yard…

Hi All, A few of you commented on my upcoming week off, so I thought I'd mention that yes, my schedule is a master rotation in which I work 5 weeks and have 1 week off. Its great for me as it keeps me sane and gives me a chance to rest up or catch up on work that can't get done when I work the 12 hour shifts. I'm in my…

Hey All, Very late tonight signing in. I'm at work and its been busy. I didn't get a chance to post yesterday although I did log my food in. Busy day off. Had to be up at 4 a.m. to get my daughter to the airport. Got home about 6 and figured no sense going back to bed, I'll get some work done. So got some house work done…

Hi All, Happy Monday and a very happy birthday to our friend Karen, Hey Skinny, hope it was a great day for you. I'm glad you explained how much you enjoy your class and teaching your students. Now I get it, you feel the same way about your students that I do about my patients. I'm cutting it short tonight as I'm beat. My…

Wow everyone, what a great day some of you had. Congrats to all you running enthusiasts. I applaud all of you in your continued efforts to better your times and go farther distances. I can't tell you how many years at has been since I've been able to run. Its 5 years since I had my knee replacements done and many years of…

Hi All, Well, I'm partway through my 2nd night of 3 and not too bad. Slept really well today and had my meals all planned out so no chance of messing up there. I find it really helps to keep me on track if I plan out my w/e meals ahead of time. I try to cook a little extra on my days off so that I can have a prepared meal…

Hi All, Happy Friday to those who aren't working this w/e. Me, I'm working nights, 3 x 12 hour shifts starting tonight. I went and did my grocery shopping today and stocked up on salad stuff and low cal treats. I've been treating myself with Jello, refridgerated cups (no added sugar) and jello no added sugar pudding cups.…

Hi All, Good day today. Its my one full day off this week. I managed to get up at a half decent time and got outside. Hadn't cut my back lawn in about a month so figured it was time. Got both the front and back cut and put away my garden furniture as well. Would love to think that we might have some nice weather still but…

Hi All, Naceto, my heart goes out to you because I don't think anyone who has owned a dog or cat for that matter doesn't know the heartbreak when your loved one gets sick. At least with a human they can tell you whats wrong and where it hurts. With your furbabies sometimes all you can do is give them love. Hope pup is…

Hi All, Sorry for the absence, but I'm back. Was at my daughters for the past week helping her with her recovery from emergency appendectomy. Took care of her and the grandkids. Unfortunately, my son in law is unable to cope with the kids on his own. He has bipolar disorder and just can't do what needs to be done. He's…

Hi All, Sorry I've been AWOL. I've been so busy taking care of my daughter and her kids I've hardly had time to enter in my foods. But, I'll be heading home tomorrow as I have to go back to work on Monday and I need at least a day to decompress. When you've lived alone for so many years, its hard to take care of 3 kids and…

Hi All, Another late night. My daughter is home from hospital, and I've been running the kids around to their various activities, preparing supper, doing cleanup and trying to get my daughter to rest. Feel like I need to take a hammer to someone (sil would be first choice). Not being helpful or compassionate at all. Even…

Hi All, Its going to be a late night. Talked to my daughter around 10 tonight and they were prepping her for surgery. The surgeon did another ultrasound and confirmed it was her appendix. I am staying up till I hear how things went. I told my daughter to get the nurse to call when she's out of recovery but if I haven't…

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the best wishes. My daughter has now been transferred to a larger hospital. She had her ultrasound this morning and they found something but they are not sure what it is. They thought it might be kidney stones last night but now they are leaning toward either appendicitis or a bowel obstruction. Not…

Hi All, The weekend is wrapping up and thankfully I'm on my last night of 3 for the w/e. Feeling pretty tired, not in small part because of the weather I'm sure. Its been dull, overcast and rainy up here in Ontario. Not a nice fall w/e but a typical one. You'd think it would be a good w/e for sleeping but I've been having…

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Hi All, Happy Saturday! Hope you're all having a great w/e. My success is a small one, but I'm happy. I put on a uniform top tonight that I haven't been comfortable wearing for months cause it was just too tight. Even though I haven't lost a lot of weight yet, it seems to be enough as the top…

Hi All, Just a quick checkin as I'm at work and kind of busy. Working nights all w/e, doesn't leave me with much time or energy for planing any fitness. I'm run off my feet at work and then I go home and sleep. Hope everyone has a great w/e. Enjoy the last bits of nice weather before fall hits too hard. Charlotte

Hi All, Sorry I'm so late getting here for my Thursday Truth but, I'm here. I had a pretty busy day. It was my only day off during the week and I had to go to the hospital to attend a mandatory 2 hour seminar on communication. God, if I don't know how to talk to my patients, their families and my peers after almost 40…

Hi All, Wednesday wishes. Boy, I could write a book to cover all my wishes. High on the list would be that I wish I had not gotten sidetracked last year by my surgery and difficult recovery. If I had found a way to push through, I could be close to my 100+ weight loss goal. But, as with so many others at MFP I did get…

Just a quick update. I was able to print out all the previous weigh ins over the past 2 and a bit years and then deleted them, leaving only the weigh-ins since August 30th 2013. Now I am showing an accurate 6 lb weight loss. Thanks for the help Robin.

Hi All, Tuesday goal is to just keep doing what I've done this past week. Log in my food every day. Weigh in every week on my first solid day off of the week. Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day . And last , vist with you all every day. Even if I can't find the time to do all the personals I would like to , I have to…

Hi All, I didn't do a typical Sunday share yesterday as I did a really lengthy one last week when I restarted on the site. But, for those of you who just started. Hi, I'm Charlotte. I'm one of the very few Canadians in this forum. I know of two who are that live closer to the west coast. I'm in Ontario, not far from…

Hi All, It's early Sunday morning, or maybe late Saturday night whichever you want to look at it. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying my lazy w/e. Didn't even get out of my housecoat today. Just puttered around the house, watched some TV and played some games on the computer. Can't remember the last time I did this on a…

Hi All, The w/e is nearly here and I'm so excited to have a full 4 days off with no set plans. I get to do whatever I want. Doesn't happen very often, usually I'm heading up to help with the grandchildren or they are coming here. Tomorrow is one of my grand-daughters 6th birthday and I would usually be heading up to spend…

Wednesday wish for me is just to continue doing what I'm doing. I'm so happy to have come back and not had any major problems in my first week back that I can't imagine wanting anything more right now. I honestly haven't felt this happy in quite a while. I was pretty down after all the health problems the last year and…

@BJ CAMP - Try having healthy alternatives readily available to grab when that sweet tooth hits. Since I'm just starting back after a long period away, I'm having the same problem. So, I have some sugar free jello snacks in the fridge. Its not the same as a chocolate bar but it hits that sweet tooth and only 5-10 calories.…

Hi All, Well, I survived the w/e working and was able to stick to my diet plan. I slept for a few hours this morning but have been really dozy all day. I'm keeping my diet balanced today just struggling to get enough calories in. Just don't feel like eating that much but I know if I don't eat properly, I'll snack and…

Hi All, Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back. As I told Robin, I almost didn't come back as I was embarrassed to have slid backward so far but now I remember why I joined and stayed with this group for so long. You!! Each and everyone of you. What a wonderful, awesome group of people you are. I know that I made the…
