We started watching Healer. I thought it was some medical drama but it's not. It's exciting, funny - used dramabeans.com recaps to help sort out the characters introduced in the first couple episodes.

9 month maintenance anniversary today: 131.4 It pays to know what you put in your mouth... my sister sent up a box of lemons and some oranges from her trees. I made my Grandma's lemon sponge cake - a family favorite. It's made in custard cups, no crust, 1 tablesppon butter- how bad could it be?? Since it is now just DH and…

Just reviewed my list for some favorites - Have you seen High School King of Savvy, Angry Mom, Dalja's Spring?

[quote="maryschwartzroby; I went to the donut and coffee get together and all i did was socialize .My husband ate a couple but I wasn't even tempted. Yah me!!! Came home and ate a healthy breakfast. [/quote] That is wonderful Mary! you could look but not be tempted - that's exercising the "willpower muscle" and it does get…

I just posted a link in the Studies thread -"Where Are You on the Global Fat Scale?" Was 132.0 this morning. Next week marks 9 months at maintenance.

As DH would say I fell in a rabbit hole while stumbling around on the internet. This is very interesting to see a BMI comparison by country and by the world. "Where are you on the Global Fat Scale?" bbc.com/news/health-18770328#female I found the fun fact that I am most like someone from Yemen. Also in the United States…

Charlie: I had no idea that my sister was so competitive - though she did do a spell of competitive body building. Maybe because she's 14 months younger and feels the need to catch up?? I didn't know there has been only two times when I weighed less than her - my divorce and now. Are you a first born? or further down the…

My sister called last night and asked if I had seen it. What?? Well on dramabeans there is a recurring section called "Spill the Beans" where kdrama fans write it with stories of how kdramas have affected their life. Here is the link, and the second story is from my sister Terri.…

It's Okay, It's Love has been great, I have 3 more episodes to go. I'm assuming that the untranslated text (watching on dramafever) is a disclaimer about diagnosing and treating illness based on the show - do they translate it on viki? It's a show with a message and very well done. I think Hyo-Jin is a wonderful actress -…

Wonderful kick-start Charlie! Yes, yes and yes I agree with everything you posted! After my first kdrama, Coffee Prince (and you always remember your first!), I stumbled upon dramafever. I used their rating list to guide my choices in the beginning. But Charlie has started a great list to explore.…

After an amusing failure of trying to make phyllo when I was teenager, I was fortunate to have a Greek neighbor offer to teach me to make baklava 35+ years ago. First thing she said was go buy phyllo! Over time I have cut the butter (from 4 sticks to 3 sticks) and the syrup. It's 200calories/serving. I can't be shy - it…

Marney - I'm so glad you enjoyed Splash, Splash Love. I would like to share some kdrama links and recommendations and I'm sure Charlie has a favorites list too. Can anyone start a new sub-discussion?

Beth: That's a good point - logging fatigue. I didn't experience it during the 18 months it took me to hit goal but I think it was part of the reason my brain couldn't log afterwards. As I approached my goal I was feeling concerned about how many calories to increase, but maintain my goal - and then I just couldn't do it…

Charlie: Did you find a new kdrama or two to start? We really enjoyed High School King of Savvy, Angry Mom, Oh My Ghostess (I know you don't favor ghosts, but it is fun). Did you ever see Gong Hyo-Jin in "Biscuit Teacher, Star Candy" (aka Hello My Teacher)? I ended up buying the DVD since I couldn't find it online. Now I…

Friday 130.0, Sat 131.0 (no surprise, see below) In anticipation of the snow, and the rare chance of losing electric & water since we are on well, I did all my housework, exercise, laundry etc. on Friday. The first flakes started at 5pm Friday. We didn't lose power and got 20" with higher drifts. I agree with Charlie, we…

After hovering at 132.2-ish (yellow flag) this past week I got back to 130.8 this morning. I increased my treadmill to 90 minutes for a few days and realized that I had gradually fallen into grazing in the afternoon and late night. I always have a bedtime snack at 11pm since it is 5-6 hrs since dinner and I'm hungry, but I…

Yeah! Glad you enjoyed it Marney. You may want to check out the recap on dramabeans. They are helpful in pointing out little things missed in translation. I didn't catch that they were calling Dan Bi, her name means "more rain" dramabeans.com/2015/12/splish-splash-love-episodes-1-2/

Perhaps this link should go into the studies folder but it relates to the current comments. I always do a daily weight check in the morning, before breakfast. Of course, it will be higher by bedtime because I've been eating all day and not necessarily "losing" it yet. Here is a recent article looking at several studies:…

I finished the holidays where I started 131.8 - so that's a good thing. DH is back on MFP with a renewed effort so that helps me to continue measuring out portions. So, has anyone else picked up a Korean drama? I mentioned before "Splash, Splash Love" - Consider it a mini-drama. It is only two episodes long and can be…

So funny... didn't know I'd get bleeped! Anyway, in a note to a friend abroad I put my weight in kg. It really does sound nice to say 59-60 kg. And it feels more like winter at 10 degrees C.

I see on my calendar on Nov.6 I was 130.6, today 131.8 - there were a couple forays up to 132.4. So overall I have maintained in my range. Tomorrow there is 3 hours of folkdancing+dinner+3 hours of contradancing - a great start to the new year. Yes, I agree that Oh My Venus would be a great intro to kdramas. I like the…

Here's my story with a cautionary note at the end. Monday was my annual gyn appt followed by a mammo. I was so excited since I'd lost another 10 lbs from last year and maintained it. My dr has also used MFP and he has now lost 30 lbs. All was fine until he did the breast exam and said has this always been there?? He guided…

Dec.18 - 132.0. It is going to be a real challenge for me to keep level this week. There are too many temptations. I'm cooking more holiday food this year. It means getting on the treadmill for longer sessions. I mailed in my paperwork for the National Weight Control Registry last week and yesterday I received an email…

Dec 11: 130.0 Last year I managed to maintain a plateau over the holidays, but I was still logging everything everyday. So I hope to manage as well this year without logging. I ran across a short video of myself (and our dogs) made in 2011 that we sent on a CD to a friend abroad. I was probably up to 178lbs. (my highest),…

here is the link to reset your counter https://myfitnesspal.com/account/login_counter_reset_request Least you think that I've been too consistent for almost 7 months, yesterday I had my highest morning weight of 132.0. I don't think it is from Thanksgiving dinner - probably leftovers take the blame. It motivated me to…

After treading this morning I'm at 131.6. I almost didn't look after last night :) I received the 'Informed Consent' forms today from the National Weight Control Registry. Signatures required on the use and disclosure of information and Privacy Notice. After returning this with some before and after photos I'll be sent a…

Our high school colors were maroon and silver - the gym suit is maroon. There were iron on letters that we had to put on and a fabric belt with silver buckle. I remember that our swimsuits (we had one of the first indoor pools for a HS in our area) were color-coded by size - that's like making an announcement to everyone.…

A bit late checking in: Saturday 130.2 I notice that DH has been more diligent with getting on the treadmill on days he doesn't play hockey or do yardwork. We aren't competitive with each other, but I think he must feel a bit motivated by my success. Last week I found my high school gym suit (one-piece bloomer style) in…

Today marks 6 months maintenance for me. This morning 130.4. Charlie: I've heard good things about Castaway on the Moon and plan to watch it tomorrow. For treading I ended up starting Jeju Island: Warm & Cozy. I'm already to episode 10. Let's Eat 2 will be my next treading drama. She was Pretty was fun and had an extra…

I would have checked in yesterday but I had to watch the final two episodes of "Twenty Again" :) Thanks for the suggestion Charlie, I really enjoyed it! We're watching "She Was Pretty" and "Shine or Go Crazy". Now I'm considering "Let's Eat 2" or "Warm & Cozy" for the treadmill. This week 130.2-131.2. I've stayed in my…
